Is the Mean Green practicing now ?

[greenjoe]

Since the presumption is that NT will go to a bowl game somewhere, is the football team continuing to practice ? And what level of practice ? I read of a number of bowl games speaking kindly of the Mean Green but if they're practicing now, will practice continue until a bowl game or cease if, perish the thought, NT sits home for bowl season ?

I've got my bags packed or my toll tag paid up if we go to the Heart of Dallas Bowl.

Beat whoever

GO MEAN GREEN

NCAA probably doesn't allow practices until the team has been invited somewhere.

That's the only thing that makes any sense.

Seeing as the NCAA only allows for about 2 weeks worth of extra practice, I highly doubt UNT is using that time right now when bowl games are so far out.

From what I understand they are off this week, in theory to prep for finals. Next week will be finals so I would guess that there will not be a lot of full on practice next week (they are student athletes after all) I think they will have film, conditioning and weight room sessions this week and next week with practice for the Bowl game starting in earnest on or about the 14th. There is not limit on how may weeks of practice in the NCAA rules, however, the hours per week are limited as they are for every week of the season.

Interesting. So last year, when it was all but a done deal that LaTech was going to a bowl, did they have practices? And when it turned out that they weren't going, what did they do? Were they penalized?

[BillySee58]

Yeah. They're practicing.

^{After the UTSA game, I think they couold use some cold weather practice. The cold really seemed to hurt the offense.}
