Spring "game"

Post by AmmonCougar1 »

I ask this every year so I can try and make plans to be in Provo at the right time. Anybody have any info on when the spring 'game' will be and what it will be like? True game? Skellys? etc.

Regardless I sure enjoy coming down with the fam. The past few years have been awesome weather and awesome times.

Go Cougs!!!

I've heard rumors of 6pm start time. I think holding it on a Friday night is less effective than a Saturday morning.

Unless you're looking at it from a player's or coach's perspective. Fifteen practices fits nicely into daily weekday workouts M-F for three weeks. Your scrimmage is considered one of your practices and you don't get any extra time for it--you're taking time away from other things you could be doing in practice. Moving scrimmage to a Saturday disrupts your schedule and essentially takes away an entire Saturday. Friday is easier to make work with your practice and workout regimens.

I'm 100% okay with Friday night....just wish we didn't have Scouts campout that night.

I know this will sound juvenile or even conspiratorial, but I seriously think that this is another of Broncos hate the fans/public tactics. I suspect attendance will be half of normal.
Too bad Bronco keeps estranging himself from the fans. Maybe he's "disciplining" us. ;-)

He doesn't hate all the fans, Cougs_Rule. He just hates you. ;)

But we love you Cougs_Rule, so that counts for something - right?
