That.
That.
Is not a safe assumption.
As was discussed here:
"The gray facemasks were the practice set all year, and the helmets won't be reconditioned until after spring practice anyway, so they'll be using whatever is on hand. Which means gray facemasks and numbers. "

Did the practice helmets always have hi-liter colored numbers on them? I thought the old helmets had the oldschool maize numbers. The sugar bowl helmets definitely had the oldschool maize, so if these are the same (which they might be, since they have the BCS stickers), then the numbers at least have definitely been redone since then.

It's the first day of practice, obviously it's not gonna be perfect so don't read too much into that. Now if it continues then yea but come on they haven't played in nearly 3 months.

First practice video.......... and we have a discussion about helmet stickers? Let's talk about the tight spirals Denard was actually throwing or something pertinent to performance come September 1st.

Watched the whole vid with glee. What is it about that winged helmet that makes me smile and makes everything seem alright with the world?

* With the weather, it really _will_ be Spring practice for at least a few days.
* I agree with the above poster that Denard's throws looked pretty good.
* Is it just me, or is Gardner still shot-putting the ball a little bit? I saw only a single throw.

Meh
Meh
On an underneath route like that, a little shotput-ish motion isn't too bad. the jury remains out until we see a full throw.

I thought that video would serve as a welcome relief from the months of not seeing any live football. I was wrong. Like a smoker lighting his first cigarette in a long time, it did nothing but awaken the inner beast who demands MOAR FOOTBALL.
Damn you, MGoBlue.com. Damn you.

Thinkin' bout PRACTICE
Thinkin' bout PRACTICE
Here is how old and out of touch I am (I'm 38, married, 2 kids, (I drive a DODGE STRATUS)).
This morning as I usually do on Saturdays at about 7am I'm out for a run and I'm passing through the UM practice field area. The sun is just coming up and there is a fine mist coming off the railroad tracks and coming across the lacrosse field. Of course I start thinking about the first football practice and wondering how it will go. As I head north on State St. I notice lots of people out and about and some house parties. "Huh" I think, "they must be stoked for the first practice cause I only see this on game days."
It wasn't till I got to Ashley's I realized it was St. Patrick's day. A pointless holiday if you aren't Irish, an alcoholic, or if you are burdened by the twin drudgeries of work and family.

St. Patrick's day is fun but it's just an excuse to get drunk. Just like Cinco De Mayo.

Upon re-reading my eloquence I realized the lacrosse field is NOT next to the tracks but rather the field hockey field. Field hockey, lacrosse.....I'm an old man and can't tell the difference....

Really?
Really?
It's amazing on some folks on here can take a video that last 2.24 of 1st spring practice and make judgment calls-Hilarious some of you. Let them get through the spring and pads and start hitting and then maybe some assumptions can be made. But you know what happens when you assume! Chill Out folks

After the Spring Game last year we lost 1/5 of the readership to hangings and other forms of suicide because of how ugly it was. And none of them lived to see 11-2.

Be free to teach, to serve, to probe the unknown.
Helmet numbers are the bright yellow now, and looks like the grey facemasks are here to stay.
