We used to flip over a PE backstop and prop it up with blocking dummies.

"Boys, Tommy wants some water! Well, I'm going to give you all some water! Just hold your tongues out as it drips off your #@*&%$# noses!"
After an hour of continuous running -
"You think you got it rough! You don't know what rough is! You weren't in the Nam crawlin on your belly with Charlie all around! He's comin' boys! He's comin to cut your throat and bleed you slow!"
"Water is for weaklings!!!!"
Anyone have memories like that?

They used to do the "water is for weaklings" thing to us in middle school...in the late 90s. The bad old days.
I had an old old old school coach 3 or 4 years ago who would run the pi$$ out of us. I'm talking 35 100s, minimal recovery, BEFORE practice...the day before the game. But he'd always let us get water.
anyway...too young for any good "remember when's" but I'm enjoying reading yall's

my high school coach had been around so long that he coached my old man in the late 60's.........coached me in early 90's.....
this old coach believed in applying atomic balm with a knife......he would spread it on your leg like peanut butter.......
all was good until you started sweating 'bout middle of the first quarter..........
my old man would tell me later "that's why we never claimed to be hurt....the balm hurt worse than the pulled muscle"
good ol' balm days..........sniff sniff

Carrying your gear to the practice field which included crossing the busiest 4-lane street in town and crossing a 300yd blacktop parking lot. The weird kids were the ones who didn't shower after practice/game. Things didn't get stolen from the locker room. Seniors were allowed/encouraged to "mentor" younger players. Not waiting for the band to get off the practice field. The toughest kids in the school playing football. Not knowing your players' parents until you were introduced to them at the end-of-year banquet. Not being slammed by anonymous cowards on the internet daily.

I had the Mattel Football. The key is to dodge all the way to the bottom of the screen and then go all the way to the right and then score. Mattel? Pup! ELECTRIC FOOTBALL. Watch the players mill around like a bunch of zombies until the one with the ball fell down of his own volition. Later technology really took over and we got Talking Football ("See you Sunday, John".).

dub- I always knew you were a youngun. Its cool. You have basically everything easy now. sheezus i remember actually having to go find my friends, you just go text them and they f&^*( show up on a gosh darned map and sh*&^ )....just nuts.
I also remember things like spending a weeks "allowance" (meaning we actually had to WORK to get something) which was like 50 cents on TWO COMIC BOOKS or a PACK OF BASEBALL/FOOTBALL/HOCKEY CARDS....oh thats right, yall get like 25 bucks a day right?
just curious, you ever eat a "jaw breaker" and do you have any clue what "light bright" or "sorry" or "trouble" is?
ever heard of a "pet rock?" or "sea monkeys?"....how about a "squirmal"....any clue?
Damned, no wonder you dont have any respect for the 46, you were freaking born when it was the greatest thing since sliced bread .....
Ever hear of a group called "the Hooters?"....how about "the who" or "the kinks" or "the knack" or styx or ted nugent or hell, even van halen? lol

Later technology really took over and we got Talking Football ("See you Sunday, John".). Even as a young kid I hated Electronic Football -- sooo random. My father was more excited to give it to us (and play) Talking Football was the 1st game I remember with some semblance of a strategy. How about this one -- not sure why i liked it do much, but it was fun.

I actually had a light bright. Ate some jaw breakers. Sorry and Trouble are basically the same game. I've heard of pet rocks (wish I came up with that), and sea monkeys are "just add water and get something that's alive" thing. No idea what a squirmal is....... I like the 46..................against 21 personnel. BTW, a ton of this information came from here:

In our cafe. we had a juke box. I ain't kiddin ya, it had Black Sabbath, Led Zepplin, Aerosmith, the who, Bruce springsteen and J. Geils which if you don't know was more popular than springsteen at the time, THE rockinest band ever. We had a snackbar that served every junk food imaginable including chocolate shakes that were better than McDonalds. Not only didn't we drink bottled water, we swore we would never drive if gas got above $1. We had the gas crisis and we could only guy gas on even and odd days. We had the Blizzard of "78 when I was a senior and we got to miss a whole week of school. you knew it was bad because we never , ever had days off for "a little snow" Yup we walked to school both ways uphill
