    For FCS schools, how many people actually care about spring practice unless you live in Montana?

    I see stories on NAIA schools having spring practice and I think, isn't there a spelling bee to cover?

    To expand on what I said earlier, here is our paper's collection of one day's worth of stories on one major-college football program, on April 16.

    And people don't think scrimmage results are going to be devoured?

    Doesn't Langston deserve that type of coverage?

    That was going to be my suggestion. There's no length limit on the web. Write both stories.

    After reading the release and realizing this is something they do every week. You were spot on with what you wrote. No complaints from here.

    Now, the only thing I'm going to mock is your recent failure with the quote function ...
