When I played high school football and one year of college football Fall camp started the second week of August. School always started after Labor Day We worked out twice a day with a meeting between the two workouts. As all of you know, Nebraska heat and humidity can be miserable in August. Our second workouts were in the early evening. As I recall we had about 3 weeks of two-a-days before school started and then regular practices once a day. The two things remember was that our equipment was wet from sweat until the about middle of September. The second thing was we couldn't drink any water during practice. The thought was it would toughen us up. That idea, thank God, is long gone. We also started hitting on the first day and hit every day until the Thursday before the first game.
