Corn Flakes: Spring, Football, and Acid

Spring is here! This feels like it has been the longest winter ever and I am so happy that it is finally spring. Not only did the season actually start, but it actually felt like spring and spring football started yesterday too! All of these are good and exciting things!

After the first spring practice, Rhule talked to the press. He mentioned some players that have left the team and that Anthony Grant and Tommi Hill were suspended from practice. Now generally I do view a suspension as a bad thing, but if it is because they are not following team rules, I like that the players are being held to a high standard and hope that the basic discipline being implemented pays off in the games.

What do you think of the first news out of spring practice?

On another note, I was in Denver this weekend and went to Meow Woof. That was definitely interesting. The best way that I can describe it is that it is a maze art museum that had to be created by people on acid. It was cool and weird all at once.

Now here are your flakes.
