Bull-ogosphere: Fan Fest, Fullbacks and Fun!

Fan Fest was on Saturday

The football team returned from the Vero Beach practice complex for Fan Fest on Saturday. Even though it rained heavily, Taggart had a line a mile long and talked to everyone. TBO.com has a video up, and Taggart says he even signed a baby. TAGGART FOR PRESIDENT 2016!

Football team had an early morning practice last Thursday. So early, it could be counted as late-night.

In one of the last practices at Vero Beach, Taggart had the team up at 3 a.m. on Thursday morning, and the team ran for until sunrise. He says waking them up early is a way to get them "comfortable with being uncomfortable." They then got to get a few Zzz's on the beach.
