WSSU Ram Ramblings: Football season is getting closer

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina  -  I know when the summer is getting closer to ending because the CIAA is holding its football media day very soon. That will come on Thursday when the coaches get together in Petersburg, Virginia with the contest being which coach can say the least about their team.

The media day is nothing more than a chance for coaches to vote on a preseason poll, but as for actually getting information from the coaches - forget about it. A lot of coaches are still trying to figure out which players will be showing up so it’s hard for them to talk about how well their teams might do.

Practices won’t start for another two weeks or so, and by then coaches will have a better handle on what their team might look like.

With Winston-Salem State coming off the CIAA title and a deep run in the Division II playoffs it will be a shock if the Rams aren’t selected as the favorite to win the conference again. I realize they lost Nic Cooper, Akeem Ward, Dominique Fitzgerald and Alton Keaton but there’s plenty of talent left for coach Connell Maynor.
