For three consecutive weeks, Toledo players and coaches have been treated to steak dinners on Sunday.It's a tradition second-year head coach Tim Beckman inserted as incentive to win games, and the Rockets are starting to get used to it.
"You only have 13 or 14 opportunities in a year to celebrate if you make it to a championship game and you make it to a bowl game," Beckman said. "So we like to celebrate Sundays. We have cake and ice cream and steak. It's a time for us to celebrate because of all the hard work that they've done to win a game."
Toledo has won three consecutive games -- all on the road -- a feat the Rockets haven't accomplished since 2002. But this past weekend's 31-20 win over Purdue was something special. Not only did it give the Rockets a win over a Big Ten team, it also showed Beckman that his team is starting to buy into his system and understand how to win.
