After its arrival day on Sunday, the team participated in many army activities including a drill sergeant wake up call, PT and small army leadership training activities and small unit leadership classes taught by 2-87 soldiers. Practice was held in the late afternoon in front of many military personnel and their families. On Tuesday, the focus was football with the Orange holding two practice sessions. Teamwork and leadership have and will be the focus as the week continues.
"The army is also a team," Commanding Major General Milley said. "No general, no captain, no major, no colonel, no sergeant ever has won a battle by themselves. That doesn't happen. The battles are won or lost as a result of the collective effort of the team relative to the collective effort of the enemy. In that regard, we emphasize teamwork all the time."
The schedule for tomorrow includes more PT and small army leadership training activities, with the defense participating in PT and the offense experiencing the small army leadership training. Another session of classes taught by 2-87 soldiers will also be held after SU's afternoon practice session.
"We're fortunate through the administration here we are also working with some people that have been West Point football players," Coach Marrone said. "I think that has been a great experience for our players being able to share that."
The Orange open up the 2012 season at home at the Carrier Dome on Sept. 1st against Northwestern (12 p.m., ESPN2). Season and individual game tickets are available online, in person at the Carrier Dome Box Office (Gate B), or by calling 1-888-DOMETIX. Tickets and travel packages for New York's College Classic against USC at MetLife Stadium on Sept. 8th are available at www.nycollegeclassic.com.
