Reese is coming home for the weekend, but I doubt he'll know anything, especially since he's not doing Spring football. Anyone know what the schedule is for open spring practices and when the spring game is?

Anyone know what the schedule is for open spring practices and when the spring game is? I hope he is 100% healed by the time football season is here. We really need him healthy for the whole season. He is a difference maker when healthy. |

Reese is coming home for the weekend, but I doubt he'll know anything, especially since he's not doing Spring football. Anyone know what the schedule is for open spring practices and when the spring game is? This is from an email sent out by KP awhile back…. “Spring football begins March 19. We will have 11 practices, one situational competition scrimmage (March 29), and scrimmages on April 5 and April 12 before closing spring ball with the Spring Game on April 19. All of our scrimmages are open to the public.” |

I feel a lot more optimistic about the upcoming season. Got to visit with the coaches and some players and apparently the 20+ new players are going to be quite strong and we will add some more at the next window. The offense should be a great deal more exciting. All this got my excitement level up so while it is still a long time off, the new possibilities are very intriguing.

I'll be particularly interested in who emerges at DE and CB in the spring. Will there be changes in the OL that we aren't expecting? We seem to be so strong at RB, will we throw more to our new receivers or be about even run-pass like last year? Will we get to meet/know our new OC during the spring?

The new OC is very inventive and calls the offense "Air Raid 2.0" but with options of 70-30 running or 70-30 passing. There will be more coming to the line and having options based on the moment. It should be fun to watch. With KP focused on the D that should be very helpful.

Anyone hearing anything out of spring camp? Do we have any players beside Young who are sitting out to heal or otherwise?

Has there ever been less info given out about spring football?

Yes, last year was just as bad. Not a good sign! I will have to decide pretty quickly whether to renew 4 season tickets at the club level. The smattering of things I have heard about next season has been encouraging, but that was true last year preceding a lackluster season. I will need to see more info before I pull the trigger on rather expensive season tix.

Listened to Hodge Pack radio show and learned of two new coaches at ACU. One is Jared Holley most recently the CB coach at James Madison and before that at North Texas. KP coached him at Pitt. Also added is Aaron Fletcher from Missouri, another defensive coach with lots of experience. Neither has been added to coaching roster on acusports nor in the staff directory that I can see.

Both sound like great additions. Fletcher played at Ranger and A&M-Commerce and coached at Austin and Dallas area high schools so would be a boost for our recruiting efforts. Plus, this blurb from his Arizona State bio sounds like he will fit the culture of ACU.
"An active member of his community, Fletcher founded "3 and Out Productions" to enhance community and student relationships through sports camps and clinics in East Austin. Throughout his career, Fletcher has also been involved with Boys and Girls Club, served as youth minister at Disciples of Faith in Commerce and was an active member of The Potter's House, a men's ministry in Dallas."

I'm hoping trackfan's comment reaches upper admin. Building a positive buzz should be seen as an easy and automatic way of retaining your season-ticket base.
We're not just fans. We're funders. You want my money? Show me something.

I'm sad that we didn't hear of these additions from our own Sports Information Department. Patterson seems to be so open to answer questions and share information I'm just confused as to why basic football info doesn't get to us from official ACU info sources.
