Midweek Magic?

Word on the street is that Weis has spent this week whipping our boys into shape. A friend of a friend's former roommate who now lives with someone on the team said a football player described Sunday's practice as "the hardest practice ever," adding that out of the 4 hours (the maximum Sunday practicing time allowed by the NCAA), 3 of them consisted entirely of conditioning and exhausting hitting drills. I guess Charlie wasn't kidding when he said we're going back to training camp; from what I've been hearing, these practices seem more intense than the entire training camp. This should please the writers at Blue-Gray Sky who posted a nice article explaining the need for Weis to be more physical with the team.

In other news, Ronald Talley seems to have been replaced by a new cult figure on the football team: a stout young lineman by the name of Thomas Bemenderfer. Irish Round Table explains why this man is such a beast, but if you don't feel like reading, here's some visual evidence.
