Anyone going to the practice at 7:45am and reporting back?

Light rain and mid-50's (for now, supposed to slowly drop all day).

I'm not at practice, but here's my view...

This one's from Brett Taylor's dad:

ok....maybe more like heavy rain.
and thunder.

Looks like they might have gone inside. Rain is one thing, but thunder and lightning...gotta go somewhere safe.

EDIT - as i suspected...

Supposed to rain on and off most of the day until early evening. They've postponed this morning's practice until this evening.

The video boards have been returned to Hanson Field. They were still in Western Hall for last week's WBI game with SIU-Carbondale.

Yup, had them up and were testing them out on Wednesday.

Also, this is a great video...good insight into the kind of guy that Coach Fisher is:

Coach Fisher seems like a hi-energy guy who has the personality to get the most out of this team.

Today would be a perfect day to get in some HIIT (high-intensity interval training) on the campus. A few quick jaunts between Hanson, Mckee, and Boyer with just a little rest at each location to enjoy the action. Yep, today is one of those "left nut" days in Macomb, IL.

True...it's a bit cool to be sitting watching a baseball game, but I did a long run earlier this afternoon and it was perfect. Cool and overcast, sun poking out just a little bit, not much breeze. I ran around the football field, and past the baseball stadium twice. There were a few "porch gatherings" at a few houses just off campus....definitely starting to feel a bit like spring.

Gotta say, I love this feature of daily videos from spring practices. Can't remember if they did much of it in previous years (I don't remember them doing it much).
Day 3, first practice with pads...
