Y hike is no stroll Print E-mail
Daily Herald   

This is in response to the letter from the sisters about the BYU football team "hiking" the Y on Aug. 2. Did you happen to ask the players when they got up that morning? If you would have asked they would have told you 5 a.m. Did you hike the Y leisurely on your own time enjoying the scenery as you went along? Because they didn't. They have to run the whole time and Coach Mendenhall wants them to beat their time from last year.

And since when is absurd (using your word) to drink water while exercising? Providing water for that many men would take a lot of coolers and 4-wheelers to carry them on. By the way, this is meant to be a mental strengthening exercise, not a "let's see how much we can pamper these boys" kind of thing. I guess you were just concerned about the waste of gas money. I'm sure BYU appreciates that.
