When we say the words “I can’t“. Aren’t we really saying “I don’t want to" or “I don’t feel like it"? OK, If you think you are working hard enough, let me share a story with you about the hardest working College Team in the history of Sports.
1899 The University of the Sewannee Football Squad:
They were undefeated and had 5 games left to play in 6 days against 5 of the top teams in the nation, in 5 different cities. Sewannee defeated Texas University 12-0 in the first game. Then the next day they beat up Texas A&M 32-0. The third game they shut out Tulane 23-0. The fourth day was Sunday, so they took a day off. But the next day they beat undefeated Louisiana State University 34-0. The following day they shut out Mississippi State 12-0.
WOW! 5 games in 6 days and not one team scored a point against them. That is impressive.
Oh I left something out: At that time in 1899, they had to travel each day by horse and wagon. By the way, the team only had 11 players.
