The Hillsdale College football team has been back to school for 12 days but this week will feature the return of the other 1300 kids who also make The Dale their home for nine months a year.

It's a good old fashion set of two-a-day padded practices today and then it's move out of camp accommodations day tomorrow for those players not living this year in Simpson. Class registration slated for the end of the week.

Among the transitions back to the academic year, Coach Otterbein and staff will be implementing their game week routine as well. With a Thursday night game next week to kick off the season in California, PA, Hillsdale will scrimmage at 4 PM this week on Thursday with officials. Wednesday will be picture day in the afternoon but then wind up with a night of team activities similar to what they do the night before a real game. The scrimmage is free and open to the public.

Nine days until Hillsdale plays the first College Football game of year at any level.
