Spring game

I am going to skip, unless they will be doing some power cleans we can all watch.

Ooohh!! Can't we have a 16th debate here on Allbuffs in 7 different threads about if it's effective or not?

I would love that so much! The place I especially love it is the spring football thread.

I guess the issue is why should anyone outside of the diehards give a **** about CU football right now? There is nothing around the program to even draw casual interest. At some point, switch it up a little bit and stop being so ****ing boring. And no, "just win" is not a valid solution.

I'm personally excited about Davis Webb. What else is there to be excited about this time of year?

Kind of an odd thing for a coach to say, "not going to do much in the spring game..." Being honest I guess.

I don't think his comments were made to down play the game, but to say they weren't going to get too exotic. They are going to run their base stuff and get after it. Have fun as he said.
 
By all accounts, the offense is going to be significantly changed this year with a lot of Texas Tech influences. There is no way that HCMM is going to show that stuff to CSU. Heck, since the Pac-12 network started putting the spring games on TV, opposing teams don't even need to send someone down to Boulder to scout the spring game. I think that the chances of seeing anything interesting are exactly:

This is a football program that has sucked eggs for over ten years. There are damn few opportunities to connect with the few fans they have left. Running a bunch of drills in the stadium in front of a couple thousand people isn't going to help matters. The Spring game is an opportunity to give the fans something to look forward to. What they're doing could be done an hour before the "game" inside the IPF and be open to the public and would have the exact same benefit to the team while actually providing something worthwhile for the fans to watch. I'll stick with my initial assessment: what they're doing is a garbage move.
 
I'd hope for a more game like situation but I'm not close enough to see what the situation is behind closed doors. When it comes down to it, I really don't give a **** about the spring game. What I do care about is what happens this fall, first practice till last game. I'd hope the players will PROVE they wanna take that next step by how they prepare before they even get to practice #1. I do like some of the vibe with recruiting, looks like we are swinging for the fences. I think we'll land a few too.

LOL. So true...but a few hours in the sun at Folsom and watching Ralphie run will be worth the trip from Saudi Aurora.
 
Can't wait for that cellphone-quality fake crowd noise they start up to simulate game situations.
 
Chamber of Commerce day in Colorado. Hopefully today and the Mac 30/30 segment will bode well for the 20 visits today...

Oh...it's next week. Never mind...

If you're not sure about going, think about it as a small thing you can do to help recruiting. Like this weekend, next Saturday will have 10 or more recruits who have CU offers visiting along with some other guys visiting who might get offers. It's a huge recruiting event for the future of the program.

Spending a couple hours at Folsom on a beautiful spring afternoon to check out our football team... not like this is tough duty, guys.
 
The whole family will be on campus for admitted student day for my daughter. I doubt we will bother with the spring drills game.

Good to see that the "the coaches don't want to tip off other teams to their awesomeness" kool aid has started flowing.

It's going to be a new offensive scheme that teams haven't seen CU run before... Not really "kool-aid" to say the coaches don't want to show their new stuff to opponents.

So they are going to run a different offense in the scrimmage? What would be the point?

No, but you do run vanilla. You might even run some stuff that you don't plan to use in the first couple games just to give them something extra to prepare for.
