April 12, 20179 yr I plan to be there Saturday, but have decided not to tailgate. Went to scrimmage last Saturday, noticed several players missing. The hitting was impressive for a scrimmage, especially #47 playing linebacker.
April 12, 20179 yr I going to try to be there. I think this coming year is going to be big time payback. Looking at you McNeese.
April 12, 20179 yr Hope we can get some good reports from you guys. Will be expecting detailed notes from all of you lol. Unfortunately, this year's spring game falls on the day before Easter when my family has their annual crawfish boil. Still trying to get the boil pushed back a couple hours so I can attend both with no problem. Also I have noticed they have dropped the "Crawfish Bowl" moniker from the spring game. Wonder if that was a Woodard thing or what?
April 12, 20179 yr Spring game has been moved from Saturday to Friday at 11 to avoid potential poor weather. Hope people can still make it. Should be easier for me at least.
April 13, 20179 yr I don't need a good reason to take a day off...especially on a Friday!!! I will be there.
April 13, 20179 yr per kfdm the rain chance Saturday is 0%. Yesterday is was anywhere from 40% to 70% depending on where you looked. Now it's looking like it has moved to Sunday and Monday. Guessing they wanted to make a call with a couple days in advance so people could juggle plans.
April 13, 20179 yr These boys need to learn setx spring weather. You can never plan 3 days out what the weather will be. I don't get off good Friday where I work. Gotta burn a vacation day. :devil:
April 15, 20179 yr So, I couldn't get away on Friday, did they actually have the spring game yet? I looks like it might be Monday??????
April 15, 20179 yr I went to the game. Initially, I thought the defense looked really good. Jaylon Bowden had some really big hits from free safety. It was what I expected from a spring game with a new coaching staff. Offense was about 50/50 run pass. There were some crisp tight pass plays and then some that looked out of sync. Of course th QB's had no contact jerseys. With that said, the qb's ran the ball with read option looking plays. Who knows If those plays would work because nobody is allowed to tackle the QB. Lots of subs ...And then they brought in # 23. I think his name is White. Initially, it looked like he was running slow through the holes, but the defense wasn't tackling him. I mean sometimes I felt like the coaches told the defense not to unload on him. Then at the end of the scrimmage somebody told #23 to go into Earl Campbell mode because he turned into a wrecking ball. Bowden, who had a great scrimmage, tried to put one of this bone jarring hits on White. White delivered and kept on going. The last series White really loooked like a really good running back. Scrimmage lasted about an hour. They hustled and played with intensity. It was warm, but they kept their helmets on all scrimmage. I feel more discipline with this staff.
April 15, 20179 yr Agree with previous assessment, discipline seems to be better. Scrimmage seemed very organized, very little discussion between plays with coaching. Nice crowd for a Friday morning. Btw, Defee was referee - biceps looked in mid-season form.
April 16, 20179 yr James White running behind Coach Powell's OL, oh yeah. Get the playoff tickets ready.
