SIAP, but when do Spring Practices actually start?

This Sunday

 

[Dark Bohner]

Goosebumps.

The shockwaves from Colorado football are just starting.

Well, since I have to miss out on attending the game because my selfish kid is getting his First Communion and Confirmation, at least I get to DVR it. The Spring Game. On ESPN.

What a world.

I thought you got your confirmation much later than 1st communion. No? Isn't that the one where the bishop slaps you?

Yeah, I don't know wtf they're doing. They changed it all up. I got it when I was 17, so did my older kids. I guess they think that since a lot of kids stop going to church after confirmation, they're going to move it up.

I think they're going to find kids stopping going a lot earlier now.

They don't slap you anymore. My big kids didn't get slapped. Come to think of it, I don't think I got slapped.

Depends on the denomination. Sometimes it comes down to the Congregation or Parish.

 

[JMBuffs]

If Coach Prime told you to jump off a bridge would you do it?

Probably

 

[Duff Man]

Seems like a decent group of recruits coming in for the game.

 

[Big Jim]

Seems like a decent group of recruits coming in for the game.

Hopefully we'll get some Confirmation on that so we can all rejoice in Communion.

Decent. Heh

Probably

Yes

 

[Bread]

If Coach Prime told you to jump off a bridge would you do it?

Probably

I'd ask him if the bridge I had found was high enough

 

[MarkW]

 

[Bear Fiend]

Not sure why they need to besmirch The Ocho.

 

[BuffBronco]

 

[Ringer]

Will there be snacks?

 

[Gary Indiana]

Will there be snacks?

Punch and pie.

 

[Duff Man]

The student number is great to see.

 

[Ringer]

Punch and pie.

I was hoping for the full on craft beer taps inside of Balch.

 

[MtnBuff]

The student number is great to see.

Hope the students turn out and have a great time.

Lots of potential recruits there, a fun atmosphere with lots of energy to give a positive impression..

 

[Darth Snow]

The student number is great to see.

I thought it was automatic but if that many chose to go to the spring game that's about 7.7k more than have ever gone

 

[DBT]

Somewhere between $300k and $400k in revenue, not including concessions and merchandise sales. Sweet!

It’s a drop in the bucket for an AD with a high 8-figure annual budget, but it’s also good to see that they’re capitalizing on the excitement.

Wonder if they're getting anything from ESPN as well

 

[Bread]

they have to be right?

I believe Brian mentioned last week that there is no additional revenue from the spring game and it was part of the contractual agreement with ESPN and the pac 12.

ESPN has a contractual agreement with the Pac 12 to air a Spring Game?

 

[Tatanka™]

ESPN has a contractual agreement with the Pac 12 to air a Spring Game?

I'm guessing it's something like, "ESPN has the rights to air any Pac-12 spring games on ESPN, ESPN 2 or ESPN U if it chooses to." The ones that don't get picked end up on the Pac-12 Network. Probably similar deals with other conferences.
