Spring Game

There isn't much to talk about football wise, so the press chose to get their bee in a bonnet over the spring game. So AD needs to talk about things that are very far from decided. If the event is televised and I don't have pressing things to do, I'll check it out and see what is going on. I'm sure they will do some scrimmaging at least.
I heard that talking point that Dannon gave out to the media mentioned a lot this week. If either of those two was worth a damn, then how come they've recruited over both of them with multiple transfers?
It's super weak that a team that hasn't finished even close to the top half of there league since forever and had 10 kicks blocked last year doesn't want to scrimmage four months before the first game because of injury risk.
The program has exuded weakness for a long time. Opted out of bowl game in 2020. Played with finesse for years.
Wait, do you think they don’t want to scrimmage? Where are you getting that idea? Admittedly I haven’t seen much about this, so maybe it’s out there, but that would be crazy. I can see them saying we don’t want to publicize it I guess, but surely they aren’t gonna stop scrimmaging…
Are they going live at ANY time this spring? Yes? Then sell tickets to that. I want to watch football. Period. And more importantly, I want to actually see with my own two eyes things like- they go live practicing punt returns and other things that they struggled with last year.
I enjoy (usually) the pot luck aspect of getting tickets in different parts of the stadium for the Spring Games to see what those sections/sight lines, etc. are like.
I get the entertainment aspect and really don't think there's any more risk for injury than any other practice. But seeing things with your own eyes and trying to get almost anything meaningful out of it as it applies to actual football is futile in my opinion. When one side looks good, the other side, by default, looks bad. Things are always watered down, as they should be in a public display like that. Green jerseys, players sitting out that might otherwise play, etc. Just way too many asterisks by all of it to base anything on. Plus, we're always undefeated after the spring game.
I said the same thing regarding tickets to the public. Too many fans invested, take advantage of it.
You seemed to suggest they were not going to scrimmage at all in spring ball, which is what caught my eye. Unless you saw it talked about somewhere there is no possible way they don’t scrimmage. Why even suggest that? That’s what I took issue with I guess.
