Wake up call: Not entirely football

We've been all football, all the time for awhile here at Old Gold & Blog, and although there's still plenty of that to cover this morning we're also going to take the opportunity to branch out ever so slightly.

Last night (Monday) was another good practice. My coverage is here, and there's this from the official site.

Dan Collins keeps us updated with his football notebook and this feature on Sam Swank.

One Arizona reporter thinks his Wildcats will be facing Wake Forest in the Emerald Bowl. He had better be wrong.

Lucas Caparelli, best known for being kicked off the team and out of school at Wake for posting threating messages on Facebook, will be playing at Texas Southern.

I promised some non-football news, so here it is. Women's soccer was picked fifth in the preseason ACC poll. Former Demon Deacon Kelly Dolton has arrived in China as a member of America's field hockey team. Finally, the baseball team has picked up a commitment from Philadelphia area shortstop Mark Rhine.
