I wasn't asking it in that way at all. You're mind just took it there. Says more about your view of life. Sorry blog masters, the question was asked with the upmost respect. I forgot things aren't put up until Monday.

For the record:  I read no malice in your comment either.  In fact I was wondering as well.  In a sense this was a game and you usually get posts up immediately after a game... of course this was a spring game that wasn't even much of a scrimmage, so I understand...

don't let the MGODBs get you down.

love,

Is there any way to see a video of the full Spring Practice?  This is just what the Big Ten Network showed, which as most know by now that they prematurely ended their broadcast when we were still scrimmaging.   I have no idea how much longer the scrimmage lasted after they went off air, but we were still running plays when they hastily said goodbye on tv.

the weather was better than the past few years. I've learned in the past not to translate all you see at the practice to regular season results. It was just fun to get back in the stadium and watch some football.

I was at the spring game this year and had some questions.  I'm not as knowledgeable about the scheming and what not when it comes to football.  Ive seen comments on here about Jourdan Lewis bumping Countess to the nickel when they go into the nickel defense, but what I saw was Lewis and Taylor as the starting corners and Countess ONLY came on the field in the nickel?  Am I seeing that wrong?  

Also, is there a reason that Darboh didn't touch the field?  Was good seeing Canteen get a lot of reps but it seems strange that Darboh didn't get any reps at all.  Is his injury still an issue or did it put him that far behind.  Sorry if these have been addressed but I haven't seen them anywhere.

Yes, that's exactly the reason. He's running and practicing, but no contact yet. The same thing applies to Pipkins, and one or two others. They just haven't fully recovered from their injuries and surgery sufficiently to go back to contact. We won't really know anything about what they can do until fall practice.

Was wondering about Darboh, too.  I really want to see what he can do---last season was a disappointment from the start, and Darboh's injury seemed to be the first domino that fell the wrong direction for us.

I'm hoping he can be 100% by fall, as it looked like he might be the "next" Junior Hemmingway going into last season.

2 things that were glaring to me:

1. We didnt have a single touchdown in the whole practice ...did we?

2. when did funchess become 6' 4'' from 6' 5 '' - 6''?

They didn't keep score and everytime the team drove down inside the 10 yard line they moved the ball back to the 40 yard line. Scoring was not the goal not sure why though

This was my first Spring Game in person...do they always play RAWK (rap) music during the entire thing? I thought it was odd they didn't censor the N word in one of the Jay Z songs, especially since I (and many others) brought children to the game
