Every Wednesday Eric Hansen of the South Bend Tribune runs a question and answer session. He probably has more insight into Notre Dame Football than anybody…….
Here is one question, it has been cleaned up a bit, along with Eric’s answer. Every good Irish sports fan should add: http://www.southbendtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?category=NOTREDAME to it’s favorite's list.
Question: Now that spring practice is over, what do the players do until practice resumes in August? Do they work on their own, or is there some kind of "off season " program at the University that they can partake in?
Answer: They are finishing up school and exams now, then will go home for the balance of May. They are free to work as much as they want when they're home. Some, like QB Dayne Crist, already have plans to work with teammates every day. Some, like LB Brian Smith, will stay in South Bend and work out. They'll reconvene June 7 -- which is earlier than usual, and strength coach Paul Longo will have a program to follow all summer. They'll depend on the team's leaders to organize 7-on7 drills and things of that nature until fall camp begins in August.
This is no different than anyother school or program, but it gives a warm and fuzzy feeling concerning the Notre Dame Football program.
