Let me put it to you this way, it is 90% fanFreakingTabulous, and 10%
WTF

75% of the time you are just busting your ass, trying to out do the
next guy in some bull**** drill/trying to pay more attention than the
next guy as you watch films/trying to pay more attention than the next
guy as you watch others practice/trying to hold a blocking dummy
better than the next guy.

20% of the time trying not to get your brains beat in/trying not to
let the ball go through your hands because your QB is out to prove
that he has a freaking grenade launcher attached to his shoulder/
trying not to look like you are trying to look like you are better
than anyone else/trying not to look like you are trying to show up the
starting strongsafety/trying to make sure you remember your routes
cause your head is so full of bull**** plays that you just learned
yesterday and will have to forget again by this time next week cause
you will be learning someone elses bull**** plays/rinse and repeat

5% of the time getting your brains beat in/taking a pass off the
facemask that you swear just gave you a concussion/laying face down in
what you hope is a puddle of water, because if it is NOT, then it is a
puddle of your own blood/trying to feel your legs at the future NFLer
that just crushed you is picking you up by the shoulder pads, spinning
you in circles and facing you the wrong direction as you try to find
the huddle/wondering if it is really 205freaking degrees outside and
why there is a refrigerator on your back/praying for someone to shove
a garden hose down your throat with the water on full blast, until
water comes shooting out your ass like a lawn sprinker/having some
fat*** holding you by the facemask while his buddy tries to fry an
egg on your helmet(yeah, really)/and finally being carted off the
field on a golf cart because after that catch you made...15 minutes
ago in the endzone....you put the ball in the StrongSafetys chest and
said "hey, I think we've seen that before" and then jogged away with
your other slapass buddies laughing and thinking you were funny.

BUT, OFF THE FIELD......

It is: sitting in class, trying not to show how bad it hurts just to
hold your head up/drinking to excess to try to hide the pain/drinking
to excess to try to keep up with the guys who have been doing this for
years/drinking to excess because beer and jack is so freaking
plentiful it is like it grows on trees/drinking to excess to hide the
embarrassment of getting your ass kicked everyday in practice/and last
but not least, banging every hot chick within your arms reach because
it is like they grow on trees, and they know you are "on the football
team", and your buddys are so damn glad to play wingman for you
because you are playing wingman for them at the same time, and 4 of 5
walk-ons are trying to figure out how to bang all 12 of the chicks
that they are at the bar with, somehow before the night is over/waking
up wondering what the hell day it is, and whether you have to do it
all over again today, or if maybe, just maybe, it is gameday, and you
get to have the best seat in the house for some great football. And
when you stand there in the tunnel, and the fans are going
absostinkinglutely NUTS, and the whole freaking team is jumping up and
down and the cheerleaders are going crazy, and the band is playing,
and the TV cameras are right there in front of you, you are trying to
figure out how you are going to run out onto the field with that big
damn bone you are trying to hide in your pants adrenaline is a crazy
thing sometimes!!!

anyways, it is something like that. I highly recommend it. But not for
the faint of heart.
