Hawks' Opening Practice.

Very cool! Zaza looks like he is about to eat your son for dinner :)

What a cute little boy you have! Sounds like you had a great time.

LOL Yeah.... Who got the other shoe?

Are you the one I kept borrowing the pin from?

This other kid got the shoe.

Yeah, it was a sharpie. I wasn't the one that owned the sharpie, but I was with him.

You know me and my boys were kind of disappointed this year. The practice was short and the regular fans did not get a chance to get autographs. That's the part they look fwd to every year.

I know last year, we had a good time at Woodward Academy. They played like a 30 min game. It seem more down to earth and personal with the fans.

I hear where you are coming from but I think the schedule screwed everything up this year. The practice should have been scheduled for this upcoming weekend instead of last weekend. The team had just come back from a long road trip late Friday night and then the players had to be back at Philips early Saturday morning for the open practice. Those guys haven't really had any time off since training camp started and they had just got back to town. I'm sure Woody wanted to give them a little time off to regroup for the weekend before the game on Monday. If the practice were this coming weekend, they would have been home all week.

I'll give the guys credit, they were very cordial, friendly and accomodating during the autograph session and the game show event even though I am sure they were ready to get home. Still, I know a lot of fans were looking forward to a MUCH longer scrimmage than they provided and the team needs to make sure they are accurate with the info they send out. You don't stop the scrimmage/practice at 3:00 if you say it will last until 4:30. I know some people who traveled long distances who definitely didn't get what they were promised.

Since I wrote a letter to the Hawks fan department. The apologized for the exact same reason. They also advised that they will have a paint the town read next Saturday. So that will be a chance for the "regular fans" to meet the players.
