"We're ready to play."

Well, if you believe in the validity of the "Bo" rometer, you'll be smiling ear-to-ear for this game. Bo was ultra chipper after practice today, saying that the team has had an entire week of good practices with the kind of tempo he likes to see. He even said something I don't think he's said, certainly not this year: "We're ready to play."

Bo said that they are expecting anywhere from 8 to 10 official visitors in for this weekend. We currently have our tally at seven, but it's never a surprise when the numbers don't quite match up.

Mike Smith is also back and Bo said he expects him to play this weekend.
