If you haven't been there, find a way to take a trip to training camp. An absolutely incredible experience from the beginning to end. Drove up Saturday morning for the early practice, from the searing heat of the valley, to the gorgeous 80 degree temps of Flagstaff. It is amazing how close you can get the the field, and how accessable the players are. Got to talk to Larry Foster, who was really cool, talked about his time in Detroit a little, Steve Bush was nice too, liked my ASU hat.

Marquise Walker looked intriguing out there, a big target, and looked somewhat polished. Talked to him for a bit, and he was really sincere, and seemed hungry for a spot. All the guys in general were really nice, and the weather couldn't get better. Being at camp really excites you about the team, and the upcoming season. If you are looking for a good place for delicious cheap grub, check out Stromboli's. Excellent Italian food, very reasonably priced.

No one needs to arrange anything for me - I'll be at the scrimmage.

If you can, you should try to get to camp, and scrimmage. Being to camp and scrimmage, I personally thought that camp was better, closer to the action, more player interaction, if possible.....

being in Cali - it's tough to get there outside the Weekend - and most of my weekends right now are pretty booked - so the Scrimmage is the only time I can get up there.
