Tom Herman: Bottling Intensity

Related Topics: Tom Herman, Chris Welp

During Tuesday’s Big XII Media Day Live Blog, I said that the most Herman-y of the day’s Tom Herman moments was his unflinching account of the extreme measures adopted to instill a hate of losing in the players.

Welp, that moment got bumped down the list once this Spring Ball account from nickel corner P.J. Locke started making the rounds:

That’s team leader, maybe-best-player-on-the-defense and possibly-the-nation’s-best-nickel P.J. Locke, by the way. Doing 4AM Air Raids, polishing weights and taking an A-grade reaming.

Over a water bottle.

If there was any lingering questions as to whether this whole “attention to detail” thing had been blown out of proportion, I’d say they’ve been answered.
