hope they can get plenty of practice work done on Wed & Thurs

I'm really starting to see Jeff's point about the indoor practice facility. I always think of Dallas having good weather. But a big storm coming through on Tuesday of a short prep week is no good.

You are right about the indoor facility. Maybe some of the local 2a or 3a schools will let us use theirs after they are through with them. How embarassing for a D1 program, especially one whose boosters are supposed to have some deep pockets.

Mail in a check. We can't continue to rely on the same 10 people to donate forever.

Since we are a passing team the rain will affect our practice more than a running team. And we still need to work on our timing in the routes.

Could be worse, we could be Memphis. They have had to use my High Schools stadium any time it rained b/c their field wasn't usable when it stormed.

I haven't kept track, but I hope the folks complaining about the lack of an indoor practice facility aren't the same folks who got pissed when ticket prices went up this year. Gotta pay to play folks!
