I just received an e-mail from Maggie St. Clair (Administrative Assistant to the MMB and basically runs everything) saying that the Spring game "will be four running quarters and there will be two teams competing for the win."
I did a quick five minute search and scanned the previous thread on the spring game and didn't see it, and figured this was pretty big news to not be posted. If it was posted, I apologize.
How awesome would it be if
Thank the lord. This will be

I don't know, it may depend on how they set up the teams. I have really strong confidence in Devin Gardner going into this year
Will there be . . .
Live tackling? If so, I hope to God they wrap Denard in bubble wrap.
Last years team was barely
Last years team was barely capable of tackling the dead, so yeah, live tackling sounds good to me. It is all part of the new tough minded mentality Hoke is looking for. RR basically treated the spring game like it were spring break:)
Look forward to the live tackling gone wild spring edition video. It will be so nice to get to having a tough minded team.
Glad to be done with platitudes such as, "we will beat OSU when we're good enough to beat OSU"

Technically he's not texting. He's taking part in a great mgoblog discussion while his motor vehicle is in motion.

Sweet, this will be really fun to watch. I liked watching RR's spring game, but this seems that it will be even better.
Been hoping for years
that it would be a real game. I go every year, and I remember being mildly frustrated under both LC and RR, as they always said they didn't have enough players for a real game,which never made sense to me. Glad Hoke is doing this, it makes it much more fun to watch.

Assume what?
Despite the "Michigan Man" meme that the MSM are trying to shove down everyone's throat, I haven't seen many posters here who "stupidly assume Hoke = Carr just because he worked for him." What I do see is a lot of people who are in the "wait and see" mode. In other words, they aren't stupidly assuming that Hoke will be a world-beater just because he coached for Carr.
I've posted this thought here often, but I will again because a lot of people apparently don't "get it:"
There is no Hoke vs RR. Period. Nada. Zilch. Nihil.
I live in the South now, and I meet a lot of people who remind me of posts like the OP. They're the ones who call the Civil War "The War of Northern Aggression" and are still fighting it almost 150 years later. In other words, the war is over, and it does Hoke and Michigan no good if people continue to try and fight it.
Hoke will succed or fail on his own merits. If he is as predictable as Carr, it's gonna be a long decade. If he can combine the things that were great about the Bo>Mo>Carr eras with modern football, it will be an exciting decade. I am hoping for the latter.
But I'm not going to assume anything either way. It's all going to have to play out on the field, where it should. And it definitely won't play out in a blog fourm.
Any word on where the
game will be played? Saline HS maybe???

they laid Woody Hayes away.
Yost Ice Arena
They're going to set up padded walls and goal posts Arena Football League style.
I put up a tough front, but deep down I just want to be held.
Didn't they do that for last
Didn't they do that for last year's Illinois game?
special teams
I'm most interested to see how our kickers and punters look spread out between two teams, or maybe if they go with Denard punting or something like that.

They should have Brian and
They should have Brian and TomVH be captains and pick teams dodgeball style.
Keep believing
i was thinking along the same lines
i'm kind of hoping the team picks 4 captains. Each team starts with an O captain and a D captain. Then they pick each team back yard football style in front of the crowd. Screw that first team vs second team BS we saw in the last spring game
Gallon
whoever has Gallon on their team wins. Simple as that.
1. Denard
2. MMartin
3. Jeremy MF'n Gallon

I can't tell if you are serious about Gallon. If I were to pick a team I would not want him returning kicks.

I will be there
and I'm very interested to see the offensive and defensive schemes and philosophy on both sides of the ball. I think we are all eagerly anticipating the fall. Go Blue!
Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it.

I was always under the impression that the time to start was when the sun came up.

Who waits for sunrise?
How awesome would it be if they just played kickball instead that day? Pretty funny.
