Would like to go sometime if it isn't a problem with coaches and stuff. Gotta get my falcon football fix somehow eh? :-\

I think we discussed this last week, there was another thread about it, but I'm too lazy to look it up.

Anyways, in my experience you should have no problem going to practice and watching it. When I was working on harris4heisman.com I tried to take pictures and an assistant told me I couldn't do that. I later e-mailed coach Brandon and let him know why I wanted pics and he said I could take all I wanted.

There are usually a few people out there, and they have never prohibited any fans from going out and watching, so much as I know.

I usually drive by and check them out. When I need that fix, I'll take staium drive aroudn the stadium at about 8-10mph to get a quick fix while I am out running an errand or coming home from work or something. I think I'd actually get kind of bored if I stuck around for a while.

fb,

I asked Coach Brandon in an email if it was OK for the public to watch practice. Not a problem! He informed me practice starts this Sunday at 3 so the Freaklings and I are heading up in the new Ford "Freakstyle">

I hear ya about that fix. I've been watching BG games on tape almost daily the last 2 weeks....even the cruddy games like NIU!

32 days....Almost here!

GO FALCONS!

Freak:

Good to hear! Mrs. 87 has never seen BG, so we're trying to pack in a little side trip while we're in NE Ohio. If Catie will cooperate and stay with my sister-in-law for a day, Noah & I can give Mom the tour and catch a little football at the same time.

Nice! They should be posting the schedule for practice on the main website any day now.

ONE MONTH!!!

Coming down Wooster after work yesterday after exiting the Interstate I noticed some guys playing football in the AZZ tailgate area. So I decided to check it out. Omar and Co. were out running routes and throwing the ball around. And it didn't look like it was just pitch and catch, they were working hard.

Getting pretty pumped now, can't wait for the season to start. Must control enthusiasm or my head may explode.

You guys are killing me with this thread!

WH,
Thanks for that report. My head exploded 3 weeks ago. I watch a Falcon game on tape every night these days. Last night was the 2004 Highlight DVD. Just think...kickoff is only 745 hours away!

Good to hear the guys are attacking!!

BTW, anyone know the name of that jammin' song played at the end of the 2004 DVD? Being out of radio for 5 years now, I'm outta the loop. THAT song rocks! So does Falcon Football.
