Thought I would create a new thread for Selection Sunday.  Even without Valpo, it is still one of the most exciting days of the year for me!

From Coach Carlson's football blog:

Spring practice begins on Friday March 18th with our Spring Game scheduled for Saturday, April 16th at 11 AM.  Our practices are open so I encourage our alumni and supporters to stop by.  We practice Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.

Players and coaches are looking forward to our second spring practice together.  The first two days will be in helmets.  The first two Saturdays in April will be scrimmage dates with the final scrimmage as the Spring Game on April 16th.  I really like spring practice as we can spend the time teaching individual technique as well as our offense, defense, and kicking game.  Our team period each day will focus on certain key game day situations. This gives our players a feeling of "being there" when they confront them in a game.  Practice simulations are never exactly like a true game. However, having practiced the last four minutes of the game with a six point lead or the last four plays of the game when down by 6 points is beneficial.  The players can develop the confidence that I have practiced this situation and I am ready to execute and be successful.

Remember, IT'S A NEW ERA FOR CRUSADER FOOTBALL!
