Brick Newell began his stretch routine with the rest of the team. He was smiling while trying to keep the sun from getting into his eyes. Watching as coach walked past him he noticed he was wearing a smooth pair of aviators. What Brick wouldn't give right now to get those on his face to keep his eyes from feeling like they had some kind of laser being shoved into them. Shaking it off, Brick decided to turn his attention to his teammate in the line next to him, a fellow junior he entered Sentinel State with almost three years ago.

Colin was in some kind of trance it looked like. He wasn't really staring out at anybody and he definitely seemed to not be paying attention to the seniors that were controlling the stretching drills. In fact, he almost seemed like he was one step ahead of them. Letting out a laugh Brick tried getting his attention. “Colin.....hey Colin.......Colin man you there?” He asked with a laugh as he continued with the stretching. This wasn't the first time he had gone and done something similar to this. Colin seemed to always get lost in some kind of day dream. You almost couldn't believe he was a football player with how much he day dreamed to be honest. Though it wasn't hard to know what it was about.

“You thinking about Ivy again man? I know you are cause you only get like this when you think about her man. Don't deny it,” Brick told him in a whisper. Last thing the two of them could afford was for coach or one of the seniors to hear them chatting like this. It usually ended up in unnecessary suicides that made you want to commit suicide in the end. “You got all day after practice today to be with her in real life rather than your dreams there big guy. Gotta stay focused or coach might take that scholarship away you know. At least that's what he always threatens to do.” Brick told Colin as the sun continued beating into his eyes. 

Up in front it sounded like Adam was getting all hyped up again like he always did around this time. He had grown to look at the running back as a leader of the team as well as Rafa. Adam however was much more the loudmouth of the two of them. Brick leaned his head out so he wasn't directly behind the guy in front of him and looked towards Adam up near the front. “Yeah yeah, pick on the freshmen all you want Adam. Once we get to trench drills I'm gonna put you on the ground,” He said as the team's upperclassmen let out a quick chuckle. “Just like I did last year during camp.” The last comment awoke a whole lot of ohs and awes. Brick laughed it off and shook his head. He always liked to start up the competitive juices early in the season like this. Got the young guys in the mood and reminded the more veteran guys that it was business time again. 

Brick gave a quick look to some of the new meat that was coming in and nodded his head in approval. Bustamante seemed like he was gonna be a huge help in coverage situations. Not often you found a six foot six corner out among the crop of football talent. Then again Texas was full of man-children waiting to be discovered. Football had a cult like following down there. And then the country strong kid McKenna was not to far off from him. He was definitely gonna enjoy reaping the benefits of having a linemen tearing apart teams in the trench while he got after some easy tackles. The linebacker looked over to where coach was and gave a quick shout. “How soon til we make the pads start popping coach?! I got a fever! And the only prescription is some good ol' contact!” Brick said as some of the other players started laughing in the middle of the stretching routines. God it felt good to be back on the field again.
