If you're a soldier of war, a foxhole isn't the worst place to be. On the whole, when faced with a torrent of enemy fire, being underground beats lallygagging on the ground any day. And if you're a football player at a major program, recovering from one of your program's most disappointing losses of the century, your team's monolithic training and performance center isn't too bad a place to be either.
Although in theory the whole point of higher education is to break down walls and expand horizons, that objective pretty much flies out the window when it's time to bunker down against the escalating number of player haters out there.
