Once again, the managers worked extremely hard all week, and especially Saturday to make sure our coaches and players were ready and prepared! Other than some post game slip ups, we had a perfect day as far as the equipment staff goes. It doesn't matter how well prepared we are with list of responsibilities, just like the players, we still have to execute. Some of our guys got a little tired and lost focus after the game. We will definitely correct those mistakes. Just like the coaches and players, we as an equipment staff have to try and get better each week too.
Now all the excitement is on this Saturday night. It is always fun to be part of a big game, and one that is on national TV. ESPN will be carrying our game against the Hawkeyes. I have a feeling this week will go so slow!!!!!
Below are some pictures from this past game against the Citadel:
The managers start pulling jerseys over shoulder pads almost immediately once they arrive for work in the locker room:
Most of the time the managers have alot of fun together. You can see in the picture that they enjoy stories, most of the stories are from the night before, with one another while pulling jerseys:
Ryan Ewalt and Robert Lloyd pull jerseys when they got to work on Saturday:

why do some of the guys have two jerseys for games? one on their shoulder pads, and another one hanging, not on pads?
