RICHMOND, Virginia --If jest is required to rouse the football team he captains, Austin Gund has no problem playing the fool. The University of Richmond senior center sings at 7 a.m. on Tuesdays.The Spiders practiced on Tuesday morning before last week’s game at Virginia because of high heat that afternoon. Coach Danny Rocco liked the results, and determined Tuesday drills would start at 7 a.m. for the rest of the season.
“Sometimes those morning practices get to be a little dull. Everybody’s still kind of asleep,” said Gund, a captain for three years.
>So he sings, a way to loosen up the Spiders and get them talking, even if they’re talking about how badly Gund sings. Gund believes a wake-up call will not be necessary Saturday evening for UR (1-1) when Hampton (0-2) visits.
