Look, I really don't care all that much aside from the points of your post where you turned this argument to saying things about me rather than the concepts being discussed. I just get tired of people pining for old school mentalities and football to rise from the grave. Those tactics were put to the side because they stopped working consistently. We don't need to knock every new thing the coaches try.
They play 12 games, and 6 of those are at ND stadium which isn't exactly a hostile environment. Plus, the whole damn point is to have this conditioning done before you play the games so those things you called lame are the only real options the coaches have to simulate before actual game action.
And my point generally is that drill sergeant tactics don't work as well on millenials and Gen Z. I've managed multi-generational teams for quite a while, and motivators have just changed. Chewing someone out in front of their peer group is more likely to draw a negative response, but not going to go back and forth on that since you "know".
And the fight or flight pet peeve really wasn't my point, but it's a consistently misapplied concept, even if BK is the one who misapplied it. It's an actual physiological response, not an abstract concept. Once you've reached the point of a fight or flight response, you stop accurately processing new information and lash out or flee, both without control. The point of mental preparation is actually to avoid reaching a true fight or flight response scenario. Like I said it's a technical pet peeve, but I understand why it's easy to throw around in these contexts.
