I had a great time on my trip to Mt.A. Although the results of the game weren't ideal. The team did play much better in game 2 and injuries did play a factor. It was cool to see CIS action first hand and to see how the players prepare in practice and the weight room.
It is a shame that at that level the coaching staff were not as open as I would have liked in regards to the strength. I'm sure they're mood will change when Nick suits up and is so much faster and stronger than the other receiver's on the team.
I also forgot what University life can be like, difficult meal schedule because of class/practice/and dining hall hours. Also the social aspects, parties,etc. I think the hardest thing is going to be the un-motivated players, Nick's strength is his constant drive to be great. Not having too many players that share that same motivation is going to be difficult. He is going to be left on his own to train. I know he can do it though. I also think playing is going to help that. He is a game changer like Gary Ross, and pressure is surely going to follow but again he can handle it.
I'm not going to lie I am a little disappointed that I won't get to see Nick play his first snap of CIS ball and see the look on the DB's face...SCARED! But the game at Laval will come fast enough.
Nick remember when you get in the end-zone (and you will) point West....I'll be pointing back!!!
