But . . . we use the spring game for an off-season tailgate!

This guarantees the weather will be perfect that day.

A. Beni indeed at corner.

B. Kai Black at 241, working some at TE, some at WR.

Questions about every single conceivable injured player, linebackers and tight ends, position changes, the new coach, the NFL draft prospects, the new roster size, his contract…

And not a single one (that I heard) about the hole at corner or the open LT spot. The biggest questions I have about ‘25.

And just one oblique reference to the wideouts—“we’ve recruited to our model”.

Well, they most certainly have!

this isnt about injury. WVU cancelled their spring game because of the spring transfer portal. RROD said why would I showcase my best players so blue bloods can poach them? He said fans will find out who the starting qb is and the starting lineup about 1 minute before kickoff.

We don't need a game to tailgate. I feel like if we get the word out people would show. You could count me in.

No one should be surprised at this.

Tailgating before Cys house of Trivia, could be fun but redundant for the most part. Lots of beers get drank that night.

Fine with me if CMC has no use for a spring game this year or any other year.

I do want coaches to be made available each week so that questions like those posed by Aclone can be asked (and hopefully answered reasonably).

No. What he actually said was that he hadn’t decided yet, that it will depend on what the team needs.

If they need to perform before a live audience, he’ll go with that.

If they need extra reps in private, that’s the choice.

He just hasn’t seen them taking reps yet to know.

Since I won’t be going to Kansas City, I may have a tailgate at my house if we go far in the tournament.

they better have a spring openhouse for tailgating and fundraising

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Underrated line in a movie full of great ones. Makes me laugh every time.

“Unmark your calendars” may be the best article title of the year!

Campbell didn't like spring games before it was popular.
