Wake Forest media day and 2nd practice

Today was the local media day for Wake Forest football, which is great except for the fact that I'm not going to be local media for another two and a half weeks. Information on the event and quotes from Jim Grobe and a handful of players can be seen here on the official site.

As for the actual practice, here are some notes:

• Practice was delayed about a half hour due to some pretty big thunderstorms, and ended with another big thunderstorm.
  

• More team drills today; D.J. Boldin caught a deep ball that would have gone the distance and made a few other nice catches
  

• Alphonso Smith had one of the easiest picks of his career after a ball deflected right at him off a receivers hands. It may not have been the receivers fault though; the throw was high.
  

• Kerry Major is practicing, but there's no contact at practice right now so we'll have to see what he does when there is in a few days.
  

I think things will pick up once the team starts adding pads to the mix; I'm guessing the guys are ready to start hitting each other.
