You win top comment on the thread already.I hope this isn't April fools.
Somebody better send this to the athletic department so they know.
it usually isI’m assuming this is free and open to all?
Hopefully covid stays on current trajectory downWas hoping the spring game would have been mid to late April. Chance to limit covid issues and gives new coaches more time.
Maybe it will be a good thing and allow coaches more time post-Spring to figure how all the pieces fit.Was hoping the spring game would have been mid to late April. Chance to limit covid issues and gives new coaches more time.

Yeah early April will be right on time to scratch my football itch. No problem for me with that date . Don’t love the 7pm time but can live with it. The sooner the new offense can start to be integrated the better.Maybe it will be a good thing and allow coaches more time post-Spring to figure how all the pieces fit.

It’s because it’s a Friday night
Yeah while I would rather it be Saturday I can make Friday work and have seen the Spring games before. I get Babers doesn't love emm. My son and I will still go and have a good time shooting the breeze and see some of the new players and staff and watch a little football.It’s because it’s a Friday night
My understanding is that while this is not going to be a true football game, it will be much closer to a true scrimmage than the last few spring game 'experiences' the fans have been exposed to.Yup, the out of towners get a bone with it televised but I hope people keep expectations in check, Babers hates the spring game and isn't going to show anything and its going to be a lot of special teams and other stuff like fan fest last year.
Nothing wrong with being optimistic.My understanding is that while this is not going to be a true football game, it will be much closer to a true scrimmage than the last few spring game 'experiences' the fans have been exposed to.
Just the fact it is being televised is going to help here.
I expect one team will have Shrader, one will have Villari and the TV guys will play it up as a battle for the starting job at QB. Regardless of how true this is.
I also expect vanilla play calling but with a new offense being installed, I think we might see the playbook opened more than we are used to. We have a new guy running the offense and he likes to pass it a lot.
Lots of new faces, lots of returning talent. More depth than we have had in years. It should be worth watching.
But I am optimistic. I thought we might enjoy the spring game last year. So my credibility is shot.
