First of all, there is no way you can know if it's true or not. It's my opinion and I haven't even said definitively that it's true. It's my observation of what could be happening.

It's just as likely that you don't know what you're talking about and my opinion is correct. Your not being active doesn't lend any credibility to if your opinion is right or not.

And I know the team has meetings and walk throughs the night before. That also doesn't change the fact that having a fireside could take the edge off. These meetings are nothing like the meetings of the Lavell era. Find you nearest past player from the Lavell era and ask him what went on in their meetings and what was said. I will guarantee you that the same things aren't getting said after a fireside. Some of them I wouldn't condone. But it's the attitude. It really isn't possible after the fireside.
