During August is when all college football players get their real test. The ultimate test of toughness. It is 20+ days of nothing but football. We joke about being in football prison, especially because of the throwback jail bars on Memorial Stadium. Its 20 days of a nonstop football extravaganza. We stay in Bowles Hall, old school dorm, but then we move into the luxurious Claremont Hotel for the last few days. Never going home, no tv(except NFL network), no news updates, no visiting hours, no sleeping in. Time might as well stand still, we couldn't even tell you what day of the week it is. All we know is that it is day 11 or day 12, 8 more to go. Here is an example of two days of camp. Keep in mind that free time is when we get treatment for our injuries and ailing bodies, as well as refresh what plays and concepts we installed that day. 

Camp Schedule

Its no walk in the park. Camp is definitely a mental test, especially when even you start dreaming about football. The worst is when you have a dream about messing up a play and you get yelled at in your sleep. Yelled at on the field, yelled at in meetings, yelled at in your sleep. The price for success is high.

Go Bears!
