THE WATERBOY IS GETTING SHAFTED

[BevoJoe]

This probably belongs on the Recruiting board but I hear we're going to get a commitment from the #1 Waterboy in the nation, the kid out of Lexington Kentucky...33 straight games without a single dropped or bobbled bottle during Time outs.

Also, rumor mill grinding again, the Ags #1 waterboy may ask RC for a transfer at season end.

BEVO JOE:

I heard that, the #1 WATERBOY in the nation, also has baseball aspirations, and will most likely be picked pretty high in the Amature Waterboy Draft. It he gets first round money, he will never see the field at DKR.

Hermosa- you have to look at the farm system for waterboys though. I feel that a few good years hustling water for a good division 1 school could land you anywhere in the pros. Look at it like this, you bust your ***, keep your hydration up, you could land one of those easy NBA gigs where the players come to you, that ain't no bullshitting.

My tech sources got a guy we are looking at now that can fill 4 bottles in about 20 seconds. He's out of wisconsin. Grades are poor though. Spends too much time during class making the water fountains in his high school project at different heights.

Keep me up to date on your new prospects.

TTUEX:

While I see your point of improving one's draft position with a few good years of college experience, first round money is hard to passup. Also, I heard about that kid out of Wis., but Bobby Burton thinks his bottle refill times are exagerated.

I sure hate to see quality waterboy recruits bolting for the $$ that they can earn as batboys on the baseball diamond. Seems there are more than a few that, after knocking around the minor league circuit, head back to the gridiron to tote the bottle. I don't know if anyone in today's world can realistically expect to be able to both carry bats and fill water bottles at the professional level. Our freshman phenom waterboy sure did buy a sweet ride out of baseball hedging their bets for his batboy prowess.

I have to agree that too much importance is placed on bottle filling speed during the HS combines. There is a big difference between filling a bottle out of a faucet against the stopwatch, and the field filling skills that are required for football.

LonghornGirlie:
You brought up a great point on the difference between filling up bottles against the clock and filling bottles at football speed. You can't coach football speed water bottle filling. Great point!

I don't know why we don't us the towel boy more to mix things up. I know he is just suppose to lead the waterboy onto the field, but the towel boy can carry the water just as well. It could prove to be a pleasant surprise for the players to get their water with their towels.

 

[TTUEX]

Is it about speed or quality of delivery and product? Also you have to look at the respect that is paid to the upkeep of equipment. Big time schools with big time programs can't be overspending on replacing hydration equipment. This is big folks, no kididng. Look at some of the expenses occured by other schools with bad water staff.

Radhorn:
Our training staff always plays things way too conservative to mix things up with the towel boy. They are the most unimaginative group in the NCAA. The are too predictable. And no, this is not another the TRAINING STAFF SUCKS thread.

Deloss gives Mack anything he wants. Its all Evian for our boys. I suppose TTUEX will now ***** about our getting money from the PUF while his boys have to make do on what comes out of the tap.
