Was the spring game cancellation unnecessary?
Enjoy the submarine until August!
I don’t know if it was unnecessary or not, but it is a bummer seeing these big time programs having their spring games on national tv, while UMs is cancelled. Certainly not a huge deal, but it would have been nice to see some Michigan football, even if it was just a glorified practice.
just consider All or Nothing last season a glorified practice
The spring game was effectively canceled the moment it became a "situational scrimmage" - the formal cancellation was just a mercy kill.
It’s not good.
Not enough Gary Oldman spider sex?
4 or 5 episodes in and it is indeed terrible. What a bummer.
Had high for good family show after stranger things.
Looks like we'll just watch football series on amazon
That sucks, I was going to give it a chance after I finished Breaking Bad, Altered Carbon and The Expanse.
Have you guys tried out that new one, Barry? HBO, I believe. A hit man suffering from depression decides to try acting. If it sounds like a flagrant ripoff of Grosse Pointe Blank, you couldn’t be further from . . . Well, that’s not the point, is it ?
Series. Would rather be at the big house but this will be a good consolation watch
So it may seem unnecessary now, but earlier in the week it made perfect sense. The thing I'm a little worried about is how not having a spring game will affect recruiting. We've already seen a bunch of commits to FSU and Clemson today during their spring games, with some others sprinkled in, and I feel like having a spring game for us has a similar effect to that of the Big House BBQ. So I guess we'll see how this weekends visits go minus the spring game
Just drove by the big house, the Jumbotron is showing some highlights, so they must still be recruiting. Maybe blessing in disguise, the coaches are able to spend more time with visitors this weekend?
But I feel like the spring game is one of those key recruting events that hooks recruits and it's an experience that recruits only have a few times when picking a school.
They still had a scrimmage. Some of the visitors or guests were putting up snapchats on the map feature. Looked like McCaffrey was getting some reps with the ones.
... in the Jack Roth Stadium Club. I had an invite, and confirmed. And I promptly blew it off, when I heard about the weather cancellation. Didn't much feel like going out anyway.
What I am wondering, is if they went ahead with the indoor gathering anyway (I don't think that I ever got a true cancellation notice for the tailgate, come to think of it), and when the weather appeared to be okay, they moved the practice that had been relocated to Glick due to weather, back to the Stadium. And thereby gave the tailgate patrons in the Concourse a surprise showing.
As much as I feel wierd and about it and regret having missed it, if in fact Michigan's football team went ahead and played in the rain today, I'd be glad to have that news shoved down Urban Meyer's throat.
It looked like all of the scrimmage was indoors in Glick.
Tailgate was cancelled too....they sent an email confirming that.
Ann Arbor is under a winter weather advisory starting at 8PM. Freezing rain is expected with hazardous driving conditions.

Let's allow Doris Day to answer that question, shall we?
they sure don't make 'em like that anymore
Do you mean movies, or women? Or both??
Thank God
What a fine woman.
Probably a sensible decision based on the forecast available when they had to make the call. Blame the weatherman, not UofM that it didn't actually need to happen after all.
It hasn't rained in A2 at all for the last two hours and was only drizzling here this morning.
Scheduling it as a night event was stupid from the get-go, though.
There's shit weather in other parts of the state. I just saw a picture of 75 by Frankenmuth where it's all ice.
WUT. Sometimes I hate Michigan.

....staee university. FIFY.
is what i see on weather.com. yes it was the right decision to cancel.
Fans travel from all over the state and back so have to take a much broader view that just what's happening in and near AA.
They could at least record some video of some practice for us.
Well, the weather sure sucks 90 miles north here in Bay City. I am missing getting a look at the team though.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/0JIyIuNDjERnIghw1 ...yup, unnecessary
why take a chance of injury. they are still doing it inside.
Did they promise some video?
Canceling an event days in advance in Mich for weather concerns raised by a forecast is dumb.
I could post that today's weather in Michigan proves that global warming doesn't exist.
Without a doubt, my methodology would certainly be WRONG.
Not really
The global warming “joke” is so lame. I want to punch whoever says it in the face every time I hear it.

counseling for your anger issues if that's the case
This caps it. Im moving. Any suggestions?
Ecuador - take some sunscreen. Two summers every year!
Two springs. One summer. I woulda thought you’d suggest Bolivia.
Do you mean Cuenca or Quito? Two vastly different, but both very nice, cities.
I’m told that if you play your cards right, the board has some excellent travel packages to bolivia
Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? No but its sterile and I like the taste
Came into this thread just looking for this post. Wasn’t disappointed.
Yup. The ol’ “WTF, wait, was that funny?” post.
