I work near the Convo, and more than once I have walked up to the round house on a break and seen the guys on the floor either scrimmaging or running through drills. Never had the testicular fortitude to actually stay and watch for a few minutes. I've never been a big fan of being told to get the ____ out of anywhere.

I know I've been in there during practice a few times over the years, but was I supposed to be? I don't really know.

I know I've been in there during practice a few times over the years, but was I supposed to be? I don't really know. I saw you in there. NO one even noticed you were there. Kind of expect it on Saturdays. I don't think Ohio really has controlled folks in and out under TOS, Groce or Saul. I been chased out of Balls under Ronnie Thompson after being welcome to watch under McCallum, Majerus, Hunsaker. Whit is pretty cool about having folks in there now as well. Most of those guys know a Gym Rat when they see one and trust/know that what you see there stays there. never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. Winter comes and asks how you spent your summer..... The game loves and rewards those who love and reward the game Back to Top OU_Country General User Member Since: 12/6/2005 Location: On the road between Athens and Madison County Post Count: 8,320 Status: Offline     RE: Watching practice    Posted: 8/10/2017 10:01:25 AM  bornacatfan wrote: OU_Country wrote: I don't know, but like you, I'd be curious to know the official policy.

It was on a football gameday. ;-) Back to Top NewAthenian General User Member Since: 4/6/2017 Post Count: 42 Status: Offline     RE: Watching practice    Posted: 8/10/2017 12:34:24 PM  Coach Phillips comes and talks to a group (of which I am a member) each year before the season starts. In his talk either last season, or the one before, he invited us to come watch practice anytime. He gave us pretty detailed information about their practice schedule, sufficient to seem like he was making a genuine invitation. So, the possibility for attending certainly exists. I cannot say if the invitation is still good, or if he makes such offers to all who would be interested. For what it's worth, his talk was not a part of any sponsorship-seeking activities, as our group does not sponsor OU Athletics monetarily - other than to say a number of members hold season tickets.

You'll have a good story either way. "Hey, I been watching practices...." or "Hey, I got kicked out of practice..." Can somebody hit a pull up jumper for me?.....
