Spring Game updates?

[Ricky the Bull]

Kdawgy,

Mark your calendar when they announce 'Fan Appreciation Day' toward the end of summer practice.  After watching the last hour or so of practice, the players hang around and give autographs, pose for pictures, etc.

They also have schedule posters there and the players who are on the posters (usually star seniors) are at tables so you can have them sign it.  ET's picture with Coach Leavitt was taken at the last one, if I'm not mistaken.  CJL will stay there until the last person gets something signed, if they want it.

This might be a great roadtrip for your group before the season starts.

It was not Mullins punting, it was a walk on punter named Peters. Mullins was playing safety for the white team.

Thanx for the correction ... saw Mullins back there quite a bit.

I thought Springfield looked good. I saw a few guys bounce off him.  ;D

That was at the last Fan Day Ricky.

Let me say this regarding att. #'s ... I don't see how anyone can fault advertising ... DIE-HARD Fans are on this board and there are many DIE-HARD Fans that don't frequent this board ... It's SAD that we only had these "few" DIE-HARD FANS at today's game.

SAD !!!

Another factor to consider is that the QBs were considered down when touched.  And let me say that the whistles were quick!  As a result, the QBs were forced to make up a ton of yardage due to 'sacks' that could have been easily not been in a real game.

Also, punts were not returned, so the advantage was definately to the team kicking the ball.  As alluded to above, the punts were long and high for the most part, but a few were very returnable and would have set the offense up much better.

Great Points !

... looks like Herron broke his collar bone.

I hope it isn't that serious ... also, did I see T. Jones go off the field with what looked like a sepearated shoulder ?

That's also what it looked like to me. I hope not.

There was a walkon playing alot (#32-- forget the name) for the green team.

That was Anthony Gaines from Miami. I thought he did a pretty good job.

Speaking of RB's...

Clenton Crossley is expected to graduate in August and earn another season of eligibility.
