    Practices Begin Around The ACC


    The University of Miami officially opened the Randy Shannon era with its first fall practice on Saturday morning. About 500 fans attended the nearly 21/2-hour workout, which officially began at 7:52 a.m. In his effort to create discipline and build camaraderie, he has made a number of changes which have ranged from taking off names on the back of uniforms to having upperclassmen living on campus if their grade-point averages dip under 2.5.

    N.C. State began its first fall practice on Friday. Seems that there is an air of defiance at N.C. State who was picked by the media to repeat its last-place finish in the Atlantic Division.Offensive coordinator Dana Bible told players he had never been picked to finish last in his life.

    Virginia Tech junior cornerback Brandon Flowers, the star of Tech's secondary, pulled himself out of practice early Friday after tweaking his right ankle. He participated in parts of Saturday's practice. Flowers suffered a high ankle sprain last season in the Chick-fil-A Bowl and was limited in spring practices. He said his ankle felt fine during the summer but began to hurt again after the Hokies opened preseason practice Thursday.
