Spring Game 2015

[jjc2009]

With the campus construction project going on, looks like the Spring Game will be moved to Le Bar practice fields. I don't know if it will be televised, but they are going to put in temporary bleachers and its by invitiation only. It was my understanding that they didn't take the game off-campus because of NCAA rules about having recruits visit off-campus events (I'm guessing as an unofficial visit). If so, that's a legitimate excuse, but means we probably won't get to watch it. Its far more important to host recruits than it is to have a big TV production of what is a glorified scrimmage.

I ordinarly think Spring Games are over-rated, both in terms of evaluating talent and gauging prospects for the upcoming season. I think they're at half-speed, despute what coaches may claim, the schemes are vanilla so as to not give away anything, and there is a LOOONG time between Spring and fall for guys to change shape, improve speed and skill, etc. I've never learned much from them. That said, I really miss football. Would be nice to have the diversion.

I hope it will still be on TV. I watch it every year. Especially this year we might have a new starting QB.

They should be able to put the game on TV even if it isn't at the Stadium.

It might not be on tv but should be able to watch in on the Internet.

Oh yeah Loved the Sanford Interview. Man this guy is going to be good for you. It also looks like a set up for Irish next head coach . Kelly is putting a plan in place in case he leave.

I've been out of town all week, busy as hell...didn't see it. I'm curious in more details...

...what did you like about it? Was he boss, what was so impressive? What was said to make you think he's being setup to take BK's gig eventually?

Appreciate it, Purguy!!

I get it, but it disappoints me. Going to the Spring game with my dad and brother has been a tradition. It is cheaper, takes less time, gives us a real taste of football in the spring, and we always win!
