I'm with you. Spring is when everyone looks like an All American and we're winning a natty. Then someone drops a pass or gets beat on a route and everyone wonders how they even made the roster. lol

My favorite is seeing highlight clips of a frosh WR, getting excited, and then not seeing that WR play again for 3-4 years, or ever.....

One thing I am surprised at thus far, is that most everyone is on the Coan train. I figured we'd have more on the true frosh savior train. I wonder if that changes after Coan throws a ball into the dirt, or god forbid, and INT during the spring game. It'll be hilarious if Hamilton, Griffith, or Clarence Lewis INTs Coan. The board will melt down. Hope the updates are stable in two weeks lol.

Spring game will be on NBC's Peacock service. Not even sure if the sites I use will pick up the game from Peacock

The most pre season press hype of recent years was probably Julian Okwara in 2018. We would have been better off as a fan base without that hype.
But then on the other hand was all the Hamilton hype in 19 and he comes out and delivers the goods.

I know I'm in the minority, but I'm pretty meh that it's closed.

After years of spring games and practices, the only thing that happens, is folks squirt all over a few vids and reports over a few weeks that are often just garnish from the pay sites.

I believe I read BK (and 4 players) will do a presser Saturday, and Rees, Polian, Freeman, and Elston will do other pressers during the week. If ND is smart, they'll drop some highlight vids here and there.

Two kinds of updates come from spring practice, either it’s things like Coan looks great with Sampson/Prister etc speaking for themselves OR the Gug is really positive about Coan so far per Sampson/Prister etc. Not sure A is really a massive loss and we’ll still get B

Mayer putting on 14 pounds is good I guess. But I was hoping he would get faster not bigger.

Looks like no bad weight at least. This photo looks like a NFL player next to a 18 year old, and not cause of any knock on Pyne.

Pyne looks like standard frat kid about to start the fraternal intramural tourney

someone needs to photo shop a beer in his left hand, and a sixer in the other.

Where is that pic from? Odd they are decked out in Nike gear isn't it?

[BeauBenken]

Yea that looks like it's from high school.

[Dale]

My bad. Saw the Mayer post and remembered Mayer’s story from a few hours earlier

[clashmore_mike]

Looking forward to these ones!

We really like Tampa, huh?

Good way to get in front of the Florida recruits

[nsisk157]

Looking forward to these ones!

Still have a pit in my stomach from the game a few years back. Hopped in the car from Jersey and hit Route 80 on a flyer for the game. Wild weather, wild fumble, wild result. Always good to be on the campus tho..

[Irish#1]

Looking forward to these ones!

I better set a reminder on Alexis. Lord knows I won't remember that far in advance. lol
