In the early 1970s in Atlanta, I attended what had formerly been an all-white school but had become a black school after integration and white flight.

A lot of people say two-a-days is the time to get them tough. It’s over by then. You better not be getting tough in August. Our whole philosophy in August is to get ready for the first game.
