Personal Initiation

For three and a half weeks during August the football team goes through Fall Camp.  While other college kids are floating down the river and sleeping in past noon, we have two-a-days, lifting, and countless meetings which can take up to 16 hours out of our summer days.  It's horrible.  Everyone's body hurts, everyone is agitated, everyone is sick of each other.  But by the end there is a bond that is forged and this bond is shared between everyone who went through it.  Only someone else who experienced the same hardships you did is capable of truly understanding and relating, and as a result, a team is brought together.
