August 5th. The die-hards had the date highlighted, underlined, circled, bedazzled and held up under a spotlight. Football. Is. Here.
With a deft capriole, senior safety Jordan Simone exited the transport tram with his defensive compatriots outside the Kajikawa Practice Fields around 9 a.m. this morning and proclaimed, proudly, that, “the Bird Gang is here!”
And with that, the 2015 Sun Devil Football Team hit the field for the first time this season at the Verde Dickey Dome. Monday’s practice featured only returning student-athletes and marked the first of 20 practices set to take place between now and August 22nd that represent the Fall Camp period of the season.
