I am guessing the coaching staff will be watching.

I was thinking about it. But it's raining now. Maybe it'll stop by 2:30.

Alright, a little update. There is light drizzle going on. Still very humid. The practice field is looking awesome, much better than last year. I am getting pretty excited to see some bodies on there soon.

I doubt you'll see too much on the grass. Most of practice happens on the turf.

COME on. Somebody post something about Practice. I've waited for today to drive away the football withdrawl, and it's not working without info. I wish I could leave work!

Practice just now got over. I've been inside long enough to pee and check my e-mail.
With that being said, BJ, why the heck were you wearing pants and a coat out there? It was like 90 degrees and humid as crap.

Dennis Carter had a decent look at practice today on the 6 o clock news since none of you guys had pictures or anything. I thought someone would post thoughts or pics or something. I need my fix you know!

Dennis Carter stepping up to the plate. Nice. You all need to take back the nasty things you say about him.

Chris pretty much summed up the day there.
Both Todd and Vince were there from Media Relations, as well as a camera man from WSET and a camera person from Liberty's OPP (that's where the shot on the Liberty page came from).
One thing not in the blog that Chris may add tomorrow in his article is that BJ Hayes looked very good, as did Danny Broggin. The Rocco recruits that have been in the program 1-2 years but not appeared much on Saturdays are looking very good.
Every single returning lineman, offensive and defensive, came to camp in shape. That has never happened at Liberty before.

That is AMAZING stuff. That's the kind of stuff I want to hear. Tell me more about Hayes and Broggin if you have more. Was ASA there?

ASA is so big you have to type his name in caps.
