Glad the spring games are back.

Nice crowd and a fun day.

I know it's still a work early in progress, but it was exciting to see some of the new offense.

I find this very surprising after all the "tempo" rhetoric. I was expecting lots of energy if nothing else.

Spring Game Roll Call

This team is a train wreck offensively and will be fortunate to win 3 games. But the crowd support was stunning (in a good way). At least 5k in stands plus stadium club.

Best part of the day for me was seeing the football and basketball teams coming together at the center of the field.

Plus seeing the attention Yanick got up top after they got recognized. Lots of fans asking to take pictures with him and thanking him for his play.

Having both teams support each other like they do is such a great first step in the right direction.

I had some good conversation with Rick Hart. He was very open about the expansion plans including the IPF. He did say that they wanted to do all the projects at once to save money and that they needed 3 or 4, 25-50 million dollar donors to step up. So now is the time if anyone is ready.

Are they trying to build that indoor track in it? I read somewhere that they wanted a sports science facility along-side and it was making it very expensive.
