We keep 400 - 450 footballs in the equipment room at all times. That cracked me up more than anything. We also have 2300 paisrs of shoes and the largest we keep is a size 21. Currently Williford is the largest at 18. Incredible facility. Everywhere you turn there is a goosebump moment. Anyone want to curl 200 pound dumbbells. I kid you not they are 200.

TAF gave a group of us a tour a few years ago.

It is very impressive.

I was pretty damn strong for my size in HS. I went to an LSU camp my junior year with a group of guys just because. We saw the lift requirements... They were ridiculously high. Each class had their minimal limits. Broken fown by position if im not mistaken. I remember the WRs had to bench roughly as much as our linenen benched. I was more surprised by that than anything.

I use to work in the equipment room and it never got old. All the time I was shocked at all the stuff.

200 pound dumbbells. Absurd. Impractical. For who? Herman Johnson? The 'freak'?

Can't imagine what it will be like 10 years from now. Think of where we were 10 years ago....

I have a way to do this. For charity. But I'm not allowed to post a link. Ends in 4 days. But if you post an email, I'll send you a link.

4 people get guided tour of the athletic facility of your choice.

You could choose The Box, but I think the main attraction should be Football Operations.
