ESPN did a story showing that the Bears were the first to shower a coach (Ditka) with Gatorade in 1984.

My favorite Gatorade bath moments were (1) pouring the liquid over the head of the coach and then the bucket accidently slipping out of the pranksters’ hands and bonking the coach on the head. Gotcha!
(2) The (i think it was) Giantss player who, talking to the coach, would suddenly act like someone was sneaking up behind the coach to shower him, the coach ducking scared… only to find no one was there. Funny.

Just another reason, sports people, of why I will never understand you. If someone poured a barrel of gatorade on me they’d get their jaw broken. But somehow it’s been turned into a tradition.

I remember seeing John Madden use the telestrator to diagram a replay of a coach getting doused – it was brilliant.

I was actually at the game where George Allen was “showered”…I was on the homecoming court. What many don’t know is that it rained all day, and was frigid cold…so he was already cold wet by the time he was doused with Gatorade.

After that, CSULB lost its football team.

I always thought it was hilarious when the players “miss.” You know, getting the coach on the back or around the neck. Come on guys, you’re 200- 300lbs of solid muscle and all you have to do is lift the cooler up and hit your mark. Is it so hard to get the coach on the head? Kinda ruins the Gatorade bath for the tv viewer when the coach only gets a wet torso.
