The Concordia University practiced under a gloomy sky but spirits were high as the bulldogs hit day 7 of the 2008 fall camp. The Bulldogs had a special visitor to camp today; Bill Lafluer. Lafluer was the University of Nebraska's starting punter in 1998 before moving on to the NFL, splitting time between the San Diego Chargers and San Francisco 49ers. Lafluer spent the majority of the day working with the Bulldog Punters and Kickers. The rest of the Bulldogs prepared for the first scrimmage of the season that will take place tomorrow, Friday, August 22.
