Spring is a time of new beginnings, a cleaning of sorts. In homes all across America moms are waking their kids up at 6:00 am on a Saturday with sounds of non-stop vacuuming and blaring their old people music (for my mom it was Aerosmith) and marching their kids out of bed to do labor camp-style house work. It’s no different in college football. The mom is the coach, the house is the team and the athletes are slightly bigger children.
But no matter how successful or disappointing a team’s season was, all the colleges around the country are gearing up for spring practices with new players and in some cases new coaches to “clean up” any messes from last year.
