Technically fall camp won't arrive for another nine hours or so, but who's counting? We've already seen Mike Leach take the field during spring practice but fall practice just seems more exciting. We are now 24 practices away from an actual football game.
Leach was named WSU head coach 247 days ago and now we only have to wait 28 more until he coaches his first game. Fundamentally, fall camp won't look much different than spring football did. There will be a few new faces, but as Brain noted in the Google hangout last night, the nuts and bolts of practice will never change.
The Cougs take to Rogers Field at 2:45 p.m. PT today. If you haven't been playing attention, you still have a few hours to catch up on everything you need to know about fall camp.
