The Lions have a wealth of talent returning from 2004 and have added several talented newcomers who will also take part in Spring workouts.   The Lions will practice on selected dates from March 21 through April 22 and will then close out the Spring session with the Purple-White Game at Braly Stadium on Saturday, April 23 at 10 a.m.
