I think his players took pity on him because it was cold

When a big fat coach or a big fat old coach or just an old coach keels over when they do that to him....and dies right then and there (not weeks later due to pneumonia like George Allen even though it was the 49'erADE that did indirectly kill him).......that's when the stupid tradition will end. tulsa

Amen to that! If I never see another gatorade shower, that will be just fine with me!

"i did however notice the s.miss. coach was dry after the win."

If you're Southern Miss, do you drench the coach after a 12 point win over Arkansas State?

Former Redskins coach George Allen contracted pneumonia in 1990, and died a few weeks after his Long Beach State players dumped ice water on his head.

Some say that may have contributed to his death, though an autopsy listed the cause as cardiac arrest resulting from an irregular heartbeat.

Coaches can end it with an annoucement before the game...but they don't.

WTF does it matter? It's all in good fun and not showing up the other team. Have any of you played football in your lives outside of Pee-Wee or PAL league?
