Yes, they do.

I love the fact that UT sports can have synergy with all the sports teams and be able to share in this in some way.
Doesn't basketball and baseball have their weight and locker rooms?

Great stuff Wes +1. Condition the body-train the brain-the conditioned body does what the trained brain tells it to do. Old concept...tremendously more effective methods. I really am impressed.

This scientific approach to conditioning, technique, strength, speed and nutrition may well prove to be our secret weapon. All those who say Dooley is too much into detail should finally understand there are good reasons for it.

I would imagine donors have a chance, but I'd doubt a regular fan getting in there.
I don't know either way, though.

Isn't it pretty much an overblown myth about the Special Forces stuff by fans? From every article I read when he was hired he coached at USF in 2010 and then he was hired here Jan 2011. So he was at his Army job for just a few weeks.

Is it just the camera angle or is the entrance to the weight room from the internal field pretty low? Doesnt look like Mt. McCullers or Tiny can get in without ducking
