Spring Game
Will we have a spring game this year? I'm assuming we never had one under June due to lack of talent on the team?
Pony up!

I don't think it was due to lack of talent, but I would expect to have one this year.

Re: Spring Game
No idea, but I guarantee the interest in spring football at SMU will be unprecedented this year.

I think it cut into JJ's scheduled offseason time in Hawaii. You know everyday between the last game and fall practice the next.

Re: Spring Game
I'd be pretty shocked if we didn't have a spring game this year.
JJ didn't want one because he was too lazy to host it and don't forget our guys weren't allowed to actually hit during practice.

Re: Spring Game
With CM's background in Texas Football this will certainly be revived. June gave a bunch of crap about not wanting to waste practice time. CM understands the value of building a brand and connecting with the community.
Re: Spring Game
The Spring game was always so poorly attended, but with the new coach and system maybe we could get a crowd?

Re: Spring Game
we haven't had one in 5 years - the attendance in 2007 is not really relevant.
Re: Spring Game
The crowd was pretty good in 08 for June's first season.....before we all realized that we weren't actually watching a game

Re: Spring Game
If this was marketed properly and with enough notice, it would have a nice turnout. Especially now that there's beer in the stadium.
