Not much has been said about Football spring practice this year, what with all the excitement around the women's basketball team, but now that we're nearing April, basketball at Western is done for the season, baseball and softball are in "full swing", and spring football is just getting rolling. I thought it'd be good to start a thread to talk about anything going on.
First off, They had a couple of practices last week and weekend, so here's the upcoming practice schedule as of 3/27:
Tuesday, March 28 – 6:45 pm
Thursday, March 30 – 6:45 pm
Saturday, April 1 – 10:45 am
Tuesday, April 4 – 6:45 pm
Thursday, April 6 – 6:45 pm
Friday, April 7 – 5:30 pm
Tuesday, April 11 – 6:45 pm
Thursday, April 13 – 6:45 pm
Friday, April 14 – 5:30 pm
Tuesday, April 18 – 6:45 pm
Thursday, April 20 – 6:45 pm
Friday, April 21 – 7 pm Bruce Craddock Memorial Spring Game
Also, saw a couple of interesting tweets that I thought I'd point out.
First off, looks like McShane and Fitzpatrick are both doing well on the baseball diamond and working hard on the gridiron.

Coach Fisher brought in former Leatherneck WR (and occasional QB), Frisman Jackson to speak to the guys. In case you haven't heard, Jackson continues to move up the coaching ranks and is currently the WR Coach for the Tennessee Titans

Is the game of football so complicated that a team has to be EITHER a 3-4 OR a 4-3 team, can't mix it up depending on the situation?
Embrace the pace of the race.
