I'd for the Boulevard, as long as it is like a normal game day as far as the drinking policy.

We were told the spring game is on the 5th of Aprill...it's a little weird that we'll have one week of spring practice, a week of spring break followed by three more weeks of spring practice but whatever floats his boat I guess. This may possibly be the last time we have practices in the afternoon - it seems that Coach Jones is looking towards morning practices say around 0700 or 0800 and having our off-days on Wednesdays instead. Again, this is just what some of us have heard.

I know it won't be like the Bama spring game last year, but I would think that it would be reasonably well attended.


Problem last year as that there was NO announcement to the students to promote the damn game...this from our marketing genius

pony up

Morning practice...huh. That sounds like it might suck for the GPA. Morning practice, class, weights, try to study.

This is a new era at SMU, football player's GPA's are no longer the top concern. It's about time.

I don't recall getting any scoreboard points for superior GPAs anyway.

The swimmers manage to balance morning practices and class.

Umm... the students stopped showing up because we kept losing. Not because of lack of promotion. Many students would rather do other things in lieu of getting a sunburn at a game they are confident we are going to lose.

Pretty bad when they know we'll lose the Red & Blue game. :shock:
