Shaking the rust off

Well, the first practice is in the books. The awkward questions about the players' weights and builds have been asked and we can get back into our daily routine. Part of my routine includes oatmeal, blueberries, brown sugar and about a gallon of coffee. And what could go better with coffee and oatmeal than links? Just about anything, I'd imagine. But you get links.

The Cougars showed newfound confidence in yesterday's interviews ... Bud Withers says to expect big things from Connor Halliday ... On the blog we have a practice report with additional notes and quotes from day one ... Don't miss our new Drill of the Day feature.

Arizona State practiced as well on Saturday ... Arizona lost a senior safety this weekend ... The Buffaloes are a little more comfortable in year two ... It's going to be hard to miss Brett Hundley this year ... Sad tidings out of Montlake, where a very kind man who I was fortunate to have met  passed away.
