The Ponies will practice Saturday morning at 8:30 on the Pettus practice field, and will have a scrimmage (45-55 plays, according to head coach June Jones) starting at 10 a.m.
The schedule says there is going to be a second practice Saturday afternoon, although there are differing reports circulating that the second session might not occur. If it does, PonyFans.com will have live updates.

Team is back out on the Pettus practice field — stretching, at the moment.
I'm in the air-conditioned pressbox. I win.

Team is doing the stretching drill in which players are paired up, run toward each other and one lifts the other over his head, getting extension in his arms and driving through the lift with his legs and hips. Just because he can, DE Taylor Thompson lifted DB Ryan Smith over his head ... and then pressed him above his head several times.

WRs working on JUGS machine — sometimes facing oncoming passes, sometimes turning to one side or the other.
LB Youri Yenga just joined in. Looks pretty comfortable catching the ball.

Chris Parham and Torlan Pittman are now catching passes off the JUGS machine — not sure why — but catching pretty well.
