Settle in for fall full of frustration with Saints

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — Who would have thought that three weeks into the Saints season the best news is that basketball practice begins Tuesday?

That’s why we’re back here, two months to the day from when the Saints began their training camp, awaiting the start of the Pelicans one-week version at The Greenbrier, the home away from home for Tom Benson’s two professional sports franchises.

Up here in the mountains, the leaves are turning, the temperatures are cool (low 70s during the day, high 50s at night), and, as was the case when the football team arrived here in late July, hopes are high and all things seem possible.
