How does the spring game work?
Ok, I never paid a whole lot of attention to recruiting or the spring game; until I started reading this board a bit too religiously for my own good. So I got to thinking - how does the spring game work?
Is it like 1st team O and D vs. 2nd team O and D? Are the offense and defense comprised of elements of 1st team and 2nd team? Seems you'd want to evaluate them as a unit - maybe 1st team offense vs. 1st team defense, and 2nd team O vs. 2nd team D?
Thanks!
EDIT: Hooboy... I googled 'spring game' before I asked and got some generic 'It's a scrimmage.' I also went to wikipedia. I'd imagine every school does something different. So it's not that I didn't look. I was looking for an overarching strategy for the game itself - thought I might get something like that from those of you who had been or seen.
And I'm not looking for a schedule of events - I'm a bit too far away to attend, and I know I could most easily find that. So, well, thanks!
What say you? Delete or Keep?
If he reads the board a little too religiously, I say delete. He can figure it out.
this is easily googled or searched. people seem to be treating the board like their own Free 411. and rather than let the guy get negbanged, i was seeing if this was something people truly did want to find out (aka it's not common knowledge) or if it should be deleted.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST DEMOCRACY?

...delete, but the replies are entertaining and since it hasn't turned nasty (yet). Plus, the innocence of some of these guys is just so damn endearing. I just can't see their enthusiasm getting squashed just because they made a rookie mistake.
It depends if this is for a homework assignment but is trying to get us to give the answer.
i just mean it's getting to a point where for an entire day i could probably go through and just use http://lmgtfy.com
I'm pretty sure the spring game is just Tate Forcier making highlight reel throws while the PA plays Fatboy Slim's Weapon of Choice
break into the Athletic Department a la Boris and Natasha until Lloyd Carr and John Beilein catch them. there's also a lot of gunfire but nobody gets hit a la GI Joe. finally there's an inexplicably hot half woman/half cheetah that uses a whip to capture the villains of UM sports.
a Rocky and Bullwinkle reference? and it's apt even! Freep:Michigan Football::Boris and Natasha:Rosenberg and Snyder is A+ analogically. sign of the times, i reckon.
+1 to that. I'm guessing though, the song could still stay, but you're going to have to add in some Denard (and some Devan)
This is my first Spring game I will be attending and I'm just curious to how everything works. What's the daily schedule look like? I know they are having the locker room tours followed by the alumni flag football game and then the spring game but is there anything following the game itself?
Offense vs Defense in a variety of situations with a weird scoring system made to make the game more competitive. There will also be some kicking and punting work done.
there is no specific set-up. they march out whatever QBs they want at different times, though i don't remember them returning after being taken out. lines change in and out. defenses change out. it's a glorified open practice as currently set up. but it's awesome so we don't care.
Last year each QB did two series at a time. They rotated between Forcier/Cone and then eventually put in Jack Kennedy.
I just booked a hotel room and will be heading up to Ann Arbor on Friday. It's a 3 hour drive from the Dayton, OH area for me.
I was hoping to make the Friday night locker room tour so I don't have to wake my kids up too early Saturday.
Anyone know how crowded it gets for the tours? Long waits?
they only had it sat. morning and it was wrapped around the stadium most of the morning.
So my advice is get there early.
Is it going to be available for download via torrent like last year?
BTN will be airing it, so you could DVR it. Whether it is available via torrent is up to Boyz n da Pahokee or any one else who chooses to upload the torrent.
I hope they do, I don't get BTN where I live.
