From his time at Harvard: "It will help you pack on weight, and it isn't even illegal yet," Coach Fitzgerald explained, handing me a giant bottle of the white powder. "Just mix it with water and drink it before and after every workout." "Isn't this kind of dangerous?" I asked. "What are the side effects?" Coach Fitzgerald snatched the container back from me and inspected the label on the back. His eyes grew wide. "Oh dear," he said gravely. "It says here that 'side effects may include getting [uck fay]ing huge, with occasional bouts of manliness.'" He shoved the can of creatine back in my arms. "Stop being such a Sally and take out your tampon. Get with the [dadgum] program." "Do you want to be a man who can't give his own son a piggyback ride because you have chopsticks for legs? Or do you want to be a man who squats 400 pounds five times with enough testosterone left over to impregnate a woman just by looking at her?" Coach Fitzgerald continued, the intensity in his coarse voice growing. "Now when you get in that squat rack, you've got to be a real man. Not some boy who worries about his arithmetic test or whatever you guys study at this [dadgum] place." "Kester, do you know why I eat so many bananas?" he once asked, stuffing a piece of the fruit down his throat. "I don't know. Because they're delicious?" "Have you ever seen a small [uck fay]ing gorilla?"
He was the college roommate of Under Armor CEO Kevin Plank The few videos of his time at Penn State make him look like the Cochran style meat head with a raspy voice. Lots of screaming and jumping around. Players apparently like him. It will be interesting to see what he does with the current equipment. At Penn State he took everything out and put in new Sorinex equipment. Mostly racks and free weights only. Olympic stuff. Tennessee has a ton of Power Lift equipment, which is probably the more prominent across the board. I can tell you that Tennessee has spent a lot of money over the past decade as each new S&C guy has changed things up to varying degrees.
If that's for real I like him. You don't need a bunch of fancy machines. Bars, racks, benches and Shit loads of effort on heavy and explosive lifts. Squat and power cleans till you puke.
Got to find a time to use that banana line. And the equipment at the training center is all leased so if they want changes, they should be able to just order and get it in as part of the rental.
Also, I think it is pretty evident Butch’s teams had low T. Nobody was getting pregnant the last five years. There’s a reason Travis Henry’s teams won so many games.
He was with Spurrier at SC from 2009-2011 and then joined O'Brien's staff at PSU. Seems like a really good hire
I took a ton of creatine while attending UT. We went to Vols gym right behind the strip. I got up to 195 at one point and I usually carried 175 in good shape. Never felt good about what it was doing to my kidneys and liver, but spent an entire summer drinking it with protein shakes and rally burger combos for 99 cents.
Bananas aren't from Africa, and gorillas don't naturally eat them. Hope he knows more than that vignette demonstrated. He can either be a confused troglodyte who couldn't help a fifth grader with a book report, or he could learn to source crops and biogeographies like a real man, with enough dork left over to creep out a woman with just a stare.
Were you following directions? It's not terribly risky if you are using it correctly and don't have some preexisting thing.
