Scrimmage with Cal

I had always wondered about scrimmages between teams and now it's nice to know the rules. Pope is definitely always looking outside the box as honestly, this is the first time I've heard of a Div 1 team doing this. I'm sure they happen, but definitely not common.



I like it. I think it'll show you a whole lot more than an exhibition game where the competition isn't very stiff. I don't like it though that nothing can be reported on the game, but for the sake of the team...well, okay.



It sounded like Pope will use the players who he plans to have starting in the 1st regular game. Does that mean that Yoeli Childs will sit?

I like this better than an open scrimmage against a DIII team.

Many coaches see more value in controlled scrimmages than they do in public exhibition games.



The NFL will probably drop pre-season games in the near future as coaches and players get more out of their scrimmages than the empty pre-season games.



In mens hoops, Gonzaga and Michigan State held a scrimmage in the last couple of weeks.
