How's spring football going?

We're just two practices into spring drills for the NSU Demon football team under first-year coach Bradley Dale Peveto, but more people than ever want to know what's going on.

Veteran Demon Sports Network sideline reporter Britt Brittain watched most of the first practice last Wednesday and was entertained. Yes, that's the right word - entertained. As he said afterward, and on the local sports talk radio show "Sports On Call" on 100.7 KZBL FM, it was the most fun football practice he has seen in at least 15 years; which may mean go way, way back because there was a time when Britt was so busy he didn't have a chance to watch football practice!

For an outside/inside perspective, check the story link below from Sunday's Alexandria Town Talk. Jeff Matthews has been covering NSU sports since 1998 and hasn't seen nearly as many practices as Britt, but his account gets across the same message. It's high energy, it's fun, and if you can, you'll want to see for yourself. The first extended scrimmage is Saturday morning.

For now, check the link from Sunday's Town Talk:
