Practice and stuff.

[1st&TennBison]

So now that school is out what are the football players doing around campus.
1. Are the football players all moved to one dorm area during winter/x-mas break, or are they scattered all around campus? My past experience in college football for bowl games is that the colleges move any students staying at school to one central building/ dorm for security reasons.
2. What is the practice schedule like during the weeks before the NC game? Where do they practice, the dome or outside? Is the team allowed to practice more than what the NCAA normally allows, I could see doing that because school is out so they do not have study concerns and to keep the players busy and out of trouble. If I was a player I would think that even in my off time I would seek out other players to meet up or get together with on on my own to practice/talk about plays with or just hang out.
3. Do the players have any time like even a 2-3 days to go visit family for X-Mas? I have read on Bisonville that last year Sam Houston sent it's players home for up to a week and the NDSU did not and stayed and practiced a couple extra days. If that is true, does anyone know if it was 100% coaches idea or did they ask the players about it and take a vote kind of thing?
4. Are there family's or boosters that hold dinners or invite players to events to keep the kids spirits up when away from family during the holidays. I heard last year that #4 Ryan Smith had some players visit his family in the Whapeton ND area, so they must get at least a day or two off for X-Mas.

I dont know but looking at the dome schedule there is a major need for an indoor practice facility

You have a 3 day wrestling tournament, globetrotters, and of course Christmas
Practicing outdoors?

Marcus Williams mentioned on the Mike Max show that he was staying in Fargo over the break and one of the families was having people over. It is my understanding that they had the option to go for a couple days.

Coach Bohl said they were getting some days off for Christmas.

Most players do not live in dorms on campus, so they would continue to live wherever they live.

No doubt there will be some days practicing outside.

A friend of mine lives below M. Will and R. Smith in an apartment, so I would assume unless they're freshmen, they stay where they are. I also know that Tim P. is in Wisc. and that Sam Ojuri is home in Illinois. No idea when they have to be back, but the coaching staff has a formula that works so no worries here of them pulling a Fritz-fumbles-the-championship moment.

NCAA rules also have some bearing on this issue as you are only allowed so many practices leading up to the bowl game.
