Are we doing anything to improve team sleep? Or are our guys hanging out late in Northgate while our competitors are preparing to win?

They stay up AAAAAALLL night making S'mores and telling scary stories.

Yes Sumlin and the players made several references during the off-season talking about how their sleep has been monitored.

A&M has a top of the line sports science team, it is not one of the issues with this team.

OP is very generous. If I had figured out sleep monitoring is what has been holding our team back, I would have sold this information to Coach Summy for big $$$$$$, rather than posting it on a free message board.

When the team is not playing or practicing or attending class or studying, each player should be confined in a hyperbaric, refrigerated pod, with soothing music overlaying subliminal messages reinforcing the right practices and attitudes.

How do we know that our competitors are not doing this already? How can we hope to compete if we don't do it, too?

And acupuncture. I forgot acupuncture...

stayin' up all... niiiiiiggtht

if I could find you now! things would be betterrrrr
we could leave this town, and run forever!

I am not a football coach. I did not imply that I knew what is holding this team back.

All I wanted was for someone who knew wtf was going on to take a few moments to answer a simple question.

Then all the smartasses jump in.

OK, wait, I'm sorry. What I meant to say was (ahem):

"I, too, have been plagued with the concern that our lads are not slumbering properly, with deleterious effects for us on the field of testing, and hope we seek the counsel of wise and learned experts in setting it aright."

Really do think OP poses an awesome question

Hope we take full advantage of every opportunity to get better

(My gif earlier wasn't an attempt to make fun of OP or anything. I'm sorry if it came off that way)

C'mon, when he wearily said the thing about smart asses, he was practically requesting it....

No offense to the original poster intended.

You keep saying "I" like you're the user aggiecouch who said that smartass statement in the first place...

Well, I certainly wasn't the only one, but I think I still qualified...

"Threadbare sock"

That would have been epic. Missed opportunities...
