so today beth padgett and myself headed out early to the stadium to check out open practice. now we knew that charlie wasn't going to gather the fans to tell us who the starting qb was going to be but i still thought it would be fun to check it out. not to mention i have an obligation to keep nicole posted on what is going on in the bend.
i learned today that armando allen is one VERY fast kid. he is the only new number that i learned today (thanks to the very informed young man sitting in front of me). zibby was fired up and looked like he was having a great time. when he broke through on a practice punt return 
nobody was stopping him from taking it to the end zone. remember how there were 4 qbs at the blue gold game, then zach left, so were down to 3, but at practice today there were 5 guys in red jerseys. couldn't tell much of anything about any of them although the crowd was for sure most interested in mr. clausen (give the people what they want charlie!!). demitrius, evan and jimmy all saw about equal time at different places (but i didn't see jimmy really air anything out). carlson was back and making some great catches and grimes looked good as well. i will say that for me the hightlight of the entire practice was when the defense had 10 players on the field and charlie made them all take a lap that was good for them i am sure, maybe he should do that in game too it would for sure cut down on penalties. you can take a look at the rest of the pictures from today here. so all i really can say for sure about practice today it was a great chance to be in the stadium for free and speculate on the upcoming season just like everybody else.

the first 4 games on tOSU schedule in order are:
Youngstown
Akron
Washington
Northwestern
well that is all from the college football front today, GO IRISH only 21 days and a couple of hours until kickoff!!
ps i just read that dayne christ was at practice today, nothing like keeping the pressure on. (for those who don't know dayne is a rising senior at nd high school in california, he has already committed to the irish and is rumored to be better than jimmy at least that is what my sister says :))
