Are the rosters for the alumni flag game released in advance?
March 24th, 2011 at 12:44 PM ^
I'm pretty sure last year they had a list of players that were participating but I can't seem to remember if they had the full rosters.

That's what I meant, I don't really care who first string center is going to be as much as just knowing who's gonna be there.
I hope Navarre returns again. He was fun to watch.
Isn't this the third annual alumni flag football game? I seem to remember going to it two years ago with Ricky Leach heading it all, but I may have also lost my mind and thinking one event happened in two different years.
I'm liking the donation prizes? Block M for $20 bucks sounds a lot better to support Mott compared to $20 MSRP for most of the magnetic/sticker block M's that I have seen.
One of the things DB pointed out during Hoke's intro press conference was Coach Hoke may not be the most polished speaker. This stuck out to me as PR is part of my job.
After reading the first two paragraphs of this article, I see Coach Hoke is a coach who can be coached.
"ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan football program will partner with C.S. Mott Children's Hospital for the annual spring game slated for Saturday, April 16, at noon EDT. The spring game is a free, public event, but the athletic department will use the spring game as a fundraising opportunity to assist in the construction of the new C.S. Mott Children's Hospital scheduled to open this fall. The new hospital will feature a one-of-a-kind Michigan Football Experience Room -- an interactive play area for patients at Mott to experience what it's like to be a Wolverine football player.
"There's a great connection between Mott Children's Hospital and our football program," said Michigan head coach Brady Hoke. "We are excited about the opening of the new hospital and the Michigan Football Experience Room where patients will be able to feel what it's like to be a real Wolverine football player. This is a great partnership, and the spring game provides us an opportunity to help assist with the cause of helping children."
Have to admit he got the key points down.
I've never been to one. Can you really sit where ever you want? Should I skip the alumni game and just watch the spring game? Answers are much appreciated.
You can sit anywhere you want. Hopefully it's not as cold as it was last year.

the total attendance doesn't collectively groan one long, anticipating groan when the kickers have their part of the scrimmage this year.

I will also be attending the spring game for the first time this year. What are the details of the locker room tours? Are there tours both friday and saturday? I thought I saw that they were. Do they cost anything and what would one expect from it?
i relly want to see a scrimmage game instead of that scenario bs

Doesn't the $250 level seem the best value? Didn't I read last year someone saying that the pregame was some stectching, and you were ushered off fairly quickly?
For the pregame, are you on the field when they run onto the field?
