...felt like the training was a little bit ridiculous.” Witt is quick to stress that he didn’t see this as a simple intensification from high school to college football: “the [high school] division I played in, it was very serious stuff. Not to blow it out of proportion, but it’s not like I came here shocked that people lifted weights and ran sprints.” It wasn’t that the training was unbearable; it didn’t, however, match the atmosphere created...

...Still, saving is the real key. Zimmerman has seven children, between the ages of 2 and 19. At a grocery auction in early April, she bought hot dogs, frozen pizzas and an Easter ham, among other items. Zimmerman figures all the stuff she bought would have cost $300 in the grocery store. She paid $100. "The more we save on food, the more we have for all the other bills each month," Zimmerman says. "Our cash flow can stretch out further. These auctions have just been a blessing...
