Agreed. I try not to drink 2 Gator cups of coffee before rowing. Almost killed me. Of course, I may have been dehydrated from the night before?

Too much during exercise is not. Too much before is not. But caffeine is helpful to keep or bring back focus and energy when you're exhausted. You should also remain well hydrated while ingesting caffeine.

It will cause dehydration. Some people died after drinking too much redbull.

I just wish the whole episode would be solved between Meyer and Matthews. He says players should discard sweet tea and soft drinks in favor of water. Actually during exercise the caffeine and sugar in both of those would help. While you're not practicing it would be a good idea to use water over the sweet stuff.

Crawford While I don't necessarily agree with Meyer's "you're either a Gator or not" philosophy, I can't help but side with the coach. Because while Matthews or anybody else has the right to voice his opinion, Meyer has the right to keep what he views as negative energy away from his players and assistant coaches. I have no doubt Matthews bleeds orange and blue, having been Spurrier's first All-SEC quarterback. Unfortunately, his job requires an unbiased, honest assessment of the Gators. But Meyer's job, which he seems to do quite well, is to protect his players, former players' feelings be darned ... With spring football kicking into high gear, parents should stay on their players about the importance of hydration. Players need to put down the soft drinks and sweet tea in favor of the good old H2O to lessen the risk of heat related illnesses during what is expected to be a hotter than normal spring season. By the way, I'm not a doctor, I just play one on TV. John L. Crawford's column appears in the News-Leader Wednesdays.
