Your coach is a lot more slack than my HS football coach was. If one of our players had so much as a single D, you got benched. Failing a class...you could forget about even coming to practice until that grade came up. Thankfully, that was something I never even came close to worrying about.

Nice horse, Nolan. At only 5'10", I'd still be a shorty.

One of these days, I'll adopt one too.

He's beautiful.
Which one? A cowboy or a horse?

Great looking horse Nolan, Please name him Super Duty, cause he looks like he could tote a load.

Hah! Only in a perfect world is something like that possible. If it were, we'd know for sure God is a woman. I'd have an entire herd.

I like Super Duty for that horse, Super for short.

He'd also make a great Batman. Just sayin.

I think our school had a little more lax policy, but the football coach had a tougher policy specifically for the team. We had very few guys who ever actually had to sit out a game, maybe 2 guys a year for only a game, and nobody ever had to miss practice. Our coach was very disciplined with everything from academics to practice and game play. We had a pretty good team too. I think our regular season record for my 3 years (sophomore-senior) was 25-5, with my junior year being the best at 9-1.

The wrestling team can't afford to bench any one. The last time we had a full line up was when I was a freshman.

I can see how that's a bit of a problem. We never had any shortage of players for the football team. I think part of why we didn't have a grade problem though, was because when I was a freshman, the coach did bench one of the star players for a big game because of grades. It set the standard that the coach wasn't messing around and he'd bench anyone at anytime because of poor grades.
