Coach Danube is old-school, and likes to run his operation on what he calls “Danube Time.”  While the NFL Packers had “Lombardi Time,” Danube has his own special twist.  During “Danube Time” players are forced to sit around at practice and listen to the tale of a skinny kid in junior high who, for one shining moment, became a hero.  The kid was playing tight end, caught a pass over the middle, broke one tackle, and was off to the endzone.  In 1999, the kid ran it in from 75 yards out.  In 2001, it had become 79 yards.  In 2003, it was 86 yards.  “Danube Time” generally occurs once per day, though two-a-days are not unusual during training camp.  And players know better than to even ask about consecutive field goals or field goal percentage.  The legend continues to grow. . .
