One of the features that we lack in these facilities when compared to others is any sort of shielding from anyone who would care to come watch from the fences. Even in the CJL era, the old practice facility had covered fencing and there was someone responsible for being aware of those who came around trying to watch what was going on. You basically had to be 'on the list' to make it inside. Since it seems that most programs close their practices to prying eyes, I wonder how easy we made it for scouts for future opponents to know what we were practicing? Does anyone feel that this is even an issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't need to spend money on a spy. They only had to read about our poor pass defense on here and didn't have to waste time on game film. Saved more money.

When's the last time we faked a punt or a field goal, or did something unusual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
