2011 Spring Game possibly set
According to the College Football Live episode that just ended. Michigan's spring game is April 15. Has anyone seen that anywhere else?
EDIT: I dont know if these can be right. I have it paused on my screen and it says:
FSU, Georgia, and OU April 8
USC April 9
Michigan April 15
OSU April 22
Oregon and Stanford April 29
Most of these games would be on a Friday if this is true. I guess I'll just wait for university confirmation. Indications below suggest April 16th according to rivals. I wouldn't be shocked if ESPN aired incorrect information.

Actually, I read somewhere it was April 16th (the 15th is on a Friday). I can't remember where but I thought it was rivals.
February 4th, 2011 at 5:34 PM ^
Rivals has said the 16th.

February 4th, 2011 at 5:40 PM ^
Yeah, it's not really that far away at all. Should be interesting.

I can't stop laughing already!!!

The math isn't that hard!!

to the band members I know, April the 16th is when they're supposed to show up for the Spring Game. So another vote for that day.

I want to see Lloyd Brady's toughness.

I'm not necessarily looking for one side of the ball to win, I'm looking for good positioning.
Example: it would satisfy me to see the offense complete a pass if it's Denard throwing it to a spot where only the WR could catch it (and he does, unlike Roundtree the last few games), even though the DB was right on the guys other hip.
I would like to see a pass rush that almost gets to Denard for the 2 hand touch spring game down on QB's, only to have Denard pull some amazing move and break free like only he can (basically a situation where any other opposing QB would have been sacked).
I would like to see LB's tackle guys right at the point of attack. But then, when the o-line opens a nice hole, I would like to see RB's who can move a pile a couple yards.
So, in a way, there's a chance that either side could win and it would still make both sides impressive - unlike Roundtree making a catch with a horribly out-of-place DB unable to find themselves in time to catch him in spite of 90-some yards to work with.
And field goals that are made, lots of that. Oh wait, that's not going to happen because the great hope of kickers will be somewhere getting ready for a prom or something.

Not a great date for the spring game if you work in accounting. My Deloitte buddies will be upset about that.

MGoBlog tailgate for the spring game, assuming April showers haven't flooded the Huron River watershed?

seen a spring game. Are they fun to watch?
February 5th, 2011 at 7:54 AM ^
They're great fun to watch but last year it was pretty cold. There were quite a few recruits there freezing their asses off, not dressed warm enough.
February 5th, 2011 at 8:56 AM ^
I swear, I ALWAYS have a prior engagement when the spring game comes around. I've never been able to attend a spring game, and it's starting to really piss me off.

I don't know if Mott and the Athletic Department will do it again this year, but the best thing I ever did was to make a donation to get the on-field passes for the pre-game. I chose the Iowa game and my daughter and I were on the sidelines. It was more fun than I could have ever imagined and I have a lot of friends who are going to do it this year with me if offered again.
Mott is a great cause and this is a great way to thank folks for their donations.

Prediction
Blue 20 White 18
Oddly enough White has won 26 times and Blue has won 26 times.
