Trainer’s Tailgating Corner
You may have seen us hydrating athletes on the field or freshmen in the bars, but now we have graduated and have decided to extend our many talented skills and services to drinking in the Blue Lot and keeping our friends in true Mountaineer form. After all, we are a drinking team with a football problem!
Let us introduce ourselves – Erica Freeman and Nikki Sabatina.
For those of you who are still drowning your sorrows in beers over last week’s loss, let us remind you that we have a bye week this week. However, as our team continues to train, we must not lose our tailgating alcohol tolerance. This week’s calisthenics focuses on upper body endurance to keep us in shape for a full day of 12 oz curls for next Thursday night. Your assignment for this week is circuit training to increase your drinking endurance – night games only mean a marathon on consumption. Your circuit of exercises will include:
-push ups with a 30 pack on your back (you may need a fellow Mountaineer to assist you),
-Keg stands are preferred as they work your upper body and liver, but shot gunning a beer will suffice if you don’t have a keg available,
-and a game of flip cup to improve fine motor skills, agility, tactile senses, and chug-ability.
Repeat these three until the ground is spinning or until you pass out.
Safety first for these exercises. We don’t want any pulled livers before the big game, so always use a spotter. Remember, a spotter is not only someone who gets the next round at the bar, but is also your real vision when your beer goggles have led you that 5’0” 350 pound lady at the end of the bar with a mustache.
Until next week, we will leave on a high note of inspiration:
“Son, when you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose; it's how drunk you get.” – Homer Simpson
