Looks like Townsend got a skiff. Roads appear wet but not snow packed at all.

A pretty decent snowfall. Did it snow around the Townsend area? Could not find any traffic cams for Townsend/ Helena... At least on the site I found,
511mt is the state site. Helena has one cam. Toston cam is the closest to Townsend. They didn't get much of anything. It frickin dumped in Bozeman. I live in Westridge subdivision, six blocks from Reno H Sales stadium. 24" total so far.

Still looking for that slice in the rough. That was quite the snowstorm.

I wish the ncaa would get rid of spring practice. I think most college sports programs are overdoing it with practices and workouts.

Me too, I remember Choate mentioning that he wished they had more time with the players spread out during the off season instead of a set Spring ball schedule. That would make it a little easier on the players.

If this winter keeps up like it's going we might be getting rid of it accidentally.

This weather is probably the best way to get an indoor practice facility. Shines a spotlight on the necessity and importance.

Couple days of sunshine and snow plows they will be back at it. Can you imagine if we still had grass field.

That and one more smoky August/September.

We need to make sure the new indoor facility can handle a large snow load!

Do teams in the South that have to practice in high heat and humidity have indoor facilities. I am sure Alabama and Georgia do, but at FCS level.

Just two for starters.

I realize Furman is a private school, however, their facilities are pretty decent given they're less than ten miles from Clemson.

One that doesn't have a designated area for football, but I'd state another South Carolina school has decent facilities, Citadel.

I'll put Murray State's here simply because Lones Wigger's daughter went to school here.

That's a good question. In Texas, I don't think any FCS school has an indoor, but it seems nearly every high school does, which is being footed by the taxpayers. Some of the high school indoors rival FBS programs.

That’s insane! I know football is big in TX but wow. I should say HS football. FCS not so much. It blows my mind that Sam Houston St could attract great TX athletes and only have a handful of fans show up.

Yeah, there's just too much competition, in regard to fanbases, for the FCS programs. Almost all of them are within 2 hours of multiple P5 programs.

I've seen a few tweets and pictures from Spring ball, and the mic'd up with Housewright, but that's about it. I'm not seeing much in the way of camp reports here on BN, does anyone know if there are reports, position battle writeups, interviews, etc... anywhere else?


Great time to be a BOBCAT!
