I went back 4 pages and saw nothing about it.
Are they going to cancel the game this year?
Hope not.
Sorry if it was discussed.

I think he's referencing the concern that's being tossed around on social media that the Spring Game is an audition for other teams to tamper and snag good players via the portal
Yes need to be wary of K State snagging guys they even have someone on this board monitoring comments
Canceling the spring game would be spitting directly in the face of the fans
Well call Rhule and tell him you’re in . An Athlete of your magnitude can only Help .
I've attended the spring game for many years. Trust me when I say that, as a result of bland play calling, green jerseys, extensive playing time for guys who will never see a snap during the season and mismatches between the red and white teams, any scouts there from other teams are much more likely to fall asleep from boredom than to discover some gems to pursue through the portal.
The bottom line to me is that if they cannot hold a freaking scrimmage four months before the first game, then they must not practice actual football in the fall either. The special teams play certainly looks like they don't practice that. They may never actually go live for anything on special teams from what it looks like to me. And our tackling and lack thereof indicates we aren't going live much either.
I actually love how inconsequential the spring game is. Super cheap to drag everybody that wants to go. We can stay, leave early, whatever. Party atmosphere like a game day and see people I only see there. I look forward to seeing the latest highly touted stud players but the scrimmage is pretty vanilla so my impression good or bad is usually meaningless.
It is the 8th home game.
They have to have it and the Lincoln economy will freak out.

Not sure what they’ll do without 60 walk ons to play the second half
I'd have full on contact spring game, I think it helps in alot of ways..
I'd throw a green jersey on a player if we are real thin there, or if the caliber of the player can't be replaced...

I love it. It’s fun to see young players and transfers for the first time in a scrimmage
Who was it who wouldn't let BTN televise one of the Spring Games? Was that Pelini?
This is why I like the Spring Game. Football fix in April. Have some drinks, hang out and watch a little ball. I would throw in good for recruiting.
If I was you I would pull all your support of Nebraska football if no spring game. No financial support and no message board support.
and if I was you I'd have made much better choices in my youth so I didn't turn into such a soft little bitch in my old age
Meh, I have gone to a few Spring games over the years and had fun, but I would rather have had Blye Hill and Demetrius Bell available for last season than watch a glorified scrimmage.
While I agree about having Bell/Hill, players have also missed the season from injuries sustained in practices in the Spring. Do we do away with spring ball all together? Players get injured in fall camp. They get injured on a Tuesday practice during the season. You're never going to fully prevent injuries.
That’s funny. I would laugh at that even if it had been directed at me. 👍
I could see it turning into a Pro Bowl type deal with skills comps and the like.
