When one thinks of his or her childhood, many times a plethora of toys and games come to mind. One popular pastime of our generation was the constructing of Play-Doh creations. Who would have thought that even at the college level playing with Play-Doh could still be so exhilarating. Our coaches had the creative idea that we could lighten up the mood of a pre-game scout with Play-Doh figurines of the opposing players. Our young inventive minds came up with such things as cubes for key players to box-out, miniature cars for important drivers, and bandannas and guns symbolizing those players who get a lot of steals. This enjoyable and still very meaningful activity brought back bittersweet childhood memories that assisted us in remembering the opposition's key personnel. So whether you are a young calf or an old bull, just remember, there is always an opportunity to conjure up the child in you!
