Day 1: Short Practice

Monday afternoon the Bearcat football team returned to the turf at Nippert Stadium.  The team practice was supposed to run from 3:00 until 5:00, instead it ended around 4:10.  Because of that, our coverage is not what we had planned.  The Bearcat Sports Page.com  crew arrived to find an empty stadium and one player still doing interviews.  In this case we were lucky it was senior Torry Cornett.  We asked the Columbus native what if it is hard to get back after a week off and what the team will try to accomplish this week.

With snow on the way practice the next few days may be moved to an indoor facility away from campus.  As for off the field preparations for the Orange Bowl, according to Senior Associate Athletic Director Mike Waddell the school has sold 12,500 tickets for the January 1st game. The remaining 4,500 tickets will be available in Clifton until December 23.
