Head Coach Mark Speir

Cullowhee, NC - "I was pleased with the intensity and the progress we made today - as well as the focus we had coming off the break," said Head Football Coach Mark Speir. "We've got three more practice opportunities including our final spring scrimmage on Saturday. These three days and especially what we do on Saturday is what we're going to take into the off-season and fall camp. We've got to continue to improve and continue to push ourselves with every chance we get."

"Saturday is an opportunity to come out and watch some football here in the spring. It's a chance for our fans to see the new schemes, the new systems. But more importantly, it's a chance for us to give back to our fans. We always ask them to support us and this weekend is our opportunity to interact with our fans and get our players around them," said Speir.

He added, "The `Whee is going to be rockin' this Saturday and we want everyone to be here this weekend."
