August 4th: Practice 1

The Sooners were up bright and early for their first day of preseason practices. And good thing too, the heat in Norman this summer is nearly unbearable. Kansas heat and Texas humidity all rolled in one. Plus, summer classes don't end until Friday, so practices/meetings must work around class schedules until next week.

Of course, I was on Soonersports.com first thing this morning and was rewarded with a photo album that had already been posted! Here are some photos of our Sooner from this morning:

RB Drills

Videos:

For videos I've got 2.

This one isn't necessarily just Marshall. It's the entire team getting all fired up to kick-off their first practice, but I thought it was highly entertaining. (No, I don't see Marshall partaking in the dancing. Must be too embarrassed to show off his "moves.")

Let's get fired up!

The second video is that running back chute drill. We saw this video numerous times in the spring, looks like you can expect more of the same this fall...

RBs hit the chute on Day 1

If you're interested at taking a peek at the new media guide for this season, I highly recommend it! 

Here's the link to the online copy. Once you open it you'll have to flip all the way to pages 114-115. Then, prepare to smile!

Media Guide

I can't believe I'm typing the first update of the 2011 preseason. I know it's completely cliche, but I'll say it anyway...time is flying!!! But I hope all of you know how blessed we feel to have such a strong support system. It is always such a pleasant surprise to see how many people follow Marshall and want to know how he's doing. I can't say it enough. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
