Wednesday P.M. update

Missed a story in The Anniston (Ala.) Star this morning. In the college beat roundup, the paper reported that ticket prices at Jacksonville State are rising this season. General admission is up to $12 from $8, and reserved seats are $15, up from $12. Also, AD Jim Fuler told the paper he and JSU President Bill Meehan are open to the idea of getting Alabama A&M back on the schedule. There was bad blood between the sometime-rivals after 2003, when A&M backed out of the last year of a four-year deal. The real kicker - JSU didn't find out about that until January, when the OVC called to say A&M also appeared on the schedule of league foe Tennessee State for the same date. There's since been a change of administration at A&M, leading JSU to ease up on its refusal to play the Bulldogs in any sport.

Here are schools with updates on Wednesday practice as of now:

Jax State donned shoulder pads today for the first time, but stopped short of full contact. The Gamecocks have another video up from practice. This was my first chance to watch one of these. There are clips of players running through various drills set to a catchy little rhytm track. An interesting way to let fans check out what's going on at camp.

Murray State started two-a-days this morning, and has a report up from the morning session. There's also another photo album. Murray and Jax State are leading the way in camp coverage, for sure.

Samford also donned shells for the first time today. The Bulldogs spent the first 30 minutes of practice inside because of lightning in the area. No photos from Birmingham today.
