Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher should’ve just accepted his fate. You win a Bowl Game — You get showered in Gatorade. This is one of the rules of College Football — along with the consistent exploitation of amateur athletes.
But Fisher refused to stand while his players dumped frigid liquid over his back. He paid for it. The coach said he pulled his hamstring while running from the Gatorade bath in an epic chase. (As an aside, I must say: hamstring injuries are the worst. They just never seem to heal. Huge blow to Fisher’s athletic career. I’m not sure how he’ll recover from this.)
Anyway, here’s a look at Fisher’s epic chase from his players and the Gatorade bath, along with the admission that the efforts (which ended with him getting soaked anyway) cost him a hamstring.
"I pulled my hamstring. Somebody in there's gonna pay for that."

A bowl game for a hamstring — it seems like an OK tradeoff for Fisher.
