Does anyone have a Practice Schedule for FB practice? Specifically, what are they doing on Saturday (Aug 12) and what time are they doing it.
I am seriously "jonesing" for some Football.

August 12 is the 4th practice and according to the schedule it is Accl, whatever that means. 2 a days start on Monday August 14th. Sorry I do not know what Accl stands for, nor do I know what time practice starts.

However the following Saturday, the 19th, the first scrimage at 4:00.

"Accl" stands for accelerated practice I believe. Which probably means full speed practice, and maybe full contact. Correct me if I'm wrong.

It could mean "acclimation", which in my mind, would imply the shorts and helmet practices that the NCAA requires before full contact.
But I really don't know.
If anyone knows the time of next Sat's practice...please post. I know I'm getting ahead of the game, but I really cant' wait.

You are exactly right, it will be shorts and helmets only. They have to have so many practices before they can strap on the pads, I think it's 8 but not totally sure about that number. ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?

Just received the following from MSU Sports Information:

Bobcats Open Football Drills on August 9

BOZEMAN, Mont. -- Like everyone else close to the Bobcat football
program, Mike Kramer can't wait for next Wednesday (August 9), either.
That day marks the beginning of Montana State's 2006 fall football
camp, and the start of the journey that the Bobcat program takes into its
Post-Lulay Era. For sure, pressing questions reach beyond the quarterback
position, but that's where it starts. Kramer knows that.
"Everyone's eyes will be at quarterback," Kramer says, "at least for
a while."
But Kramer says that the team's success won't hinge solely on who
plays quarterback. "We'll be fine (at quarterback),"MSU's seventh-year head
coach says. "Cory and Jack both have the ability and aptitude to play that
position the way we want it to be played. The first one that demonstrates
the ability to use proper footwork will be the one with the best chance to
win the starting job."
While Kramer knows the quarterback battle will draw attention
throughout camp and into the season, a natural considering the Bobcats
replace one of the Big Sky Conference's all-time most productive
quarterbacks in Travis Lulay, he stops short of calling it job one.
"We need our receivers to rise to the consistent level of play we
expect from the rest of the offense, we need a couple of young offensive
linemen to establish themselves, we need someone to step up behind Elliott
Barnhart at tight end, we need to continue to make progress on defense," he
said. "This is a very typical fall camp for a solid program in that a lot of
questions remain, but we return with a lot of proven performers, as well."
Kramer welcomes 12 returning starters on Monday, seven from the
defensive side of the ball, along with kicker Jeff Hastings. In fact, Kramer
said MSU's kicking game could be formidable. "And how many times can we sit
here at Montana State and say we're looking forward to working on field
goals and PATs, but we have an outstanding kicker returning in Jeff
Hastings. Eric Fisher, a redshirt freshman, also has a chance to be
tremendous in that role down the road, so we feel fortunate about our
place-kicking situation."
MSU's daily practices are held on the team's practice field, south
and east of Brick Breeden Fieldhouse. The team will hold acclimation
practices through Sunday before entering the two-a-day phase on Monday,
August 14.

So does anyone know what time practice will be starting tomorrow? I'll be passing thru Bozeman as well, and wouldn't mind seeing the men in action. Even if it is just walkthrough type stuff. The wife will have no say regarding the unscheduled stop.

The only thing I could find said that practices were at 3:30 through Sunday. Hope that is right, if not, I'm not responsible.
