Practice Has Begun!

Did anyone get a chance to check out practice this weekend? I wanted to poke my head in during the soccer games this weekend but never got around to it. I can't wait to watch the scrimmate at the season ticket holder event this weekend!!!

Not sure if everyone saw the release about the first practice... it's brief but has some good info:

Be sure to check out the photos from the first practice:

Kramer Knutson looks big! I think he's going to be a pleasant surprise. Raivio definitely looks bigger than his brother, but he's got the same baby face!

Also, if you haven't gotten a chance to see the new floor yet... it looks NICE. The dome still hasn't been painted yet, though. I wonder if/when that's going to happen.

Furthermore, has anyone gotten the Blue Ribbon Preview? It's the best preview book by far but I've always been too poor to get it. However, I read on the Saint Mary's board that UP was picked to finish 3rd in it. Whoa! Now I'm SUPER curious to read what it says about UP. So if anyone out there has it... please ellaborate.

Anyway... I haven't heard much lately on the recruiting front... hopefully we'll be hearing some good news soon - we need it!

Excellent! Even though I feel in my gut that it's going to be another tough year, I can still hardly wait for the season to start!

geez,

I even keep forgetting to see the new paint job on the floor. The season's closing in, I gotta pay more attention.

I looked at the pictures. No mistaking which one is Raivio!

I love the picture of hannibal posting up against reveno.
