Great point. I think FAU and a couple of others in the conference is streaming on espn3.Would be cool to get this streamed online so people not in the area can watch. Isn't MT supposed to have a good broadcasting department? Seems like a prime opportunity for students to gain some experience.
We have a better chance to win at the spring game.I know at this point not many will care, but the third game of the UAB series next door in Reese Smith field starts at the same time as the spring game. At this point, I'm not sure which one I'm more ambivalent about...

I hope your right. I will believe it when I see it.From some of the coverage I saw, the D is going to be much better. I say that because the mentality is night and day. They seem faster and there's more hustle. I also loved the coverage drills where the DB's and Safeties made contact and went after the ball. They didn't play them back like Nix did. They were more aggressive in their drills.
Shafer's style is a lot like Manny's and even Wes said that very thing during the drills. We are probably missing some key pieces to be truly great but will we improve by a good margin? Yes. I really think so. I know it's early but we have the right DC now. I like the philosophy and the fact that he calls from the booth. I feel like he prepares well and knows how to lead and implement the game plan. The D is already looking sharper. I'm optimistic and there's some good reasons to be.
500 show up and most were friends/family of the players. Pathetic.

It's just sad these guys work their tails off and the fans can't spare a couple of hours to show appreciation. I understand family and other committments. The PR disaster probably had some effect but I think it's apathy. The whipping we took in Hawaii did not help with any momentum.
I'll be there every game.
True, but if you aren't able to improve in the 14 other practice sessions, are maximizing your practice time? At some point, do you not need a test to see where or how you stack up?Meh... Stock said that he wanted all of the players involved and trying to improve than most of them standing on the side watching a scrimmage. I'm fine with that.
Winning games in the fall is what matters - not a spring scrimmage for the hardcore fans
I get the impression we are not in good shape with our backup.I just want to know how #2 QB is doing. IMO, that makes or breaks a 7/8 win season.

This just shows how horrible we have recruited on the DL and big depth concerns on the OL. They can't afford to lose one player in the scrimmage. That is my guess but if so then why not come out and say it? Again I struggle with MT's lack of engaging the fans and expecting higher ticket sales. This is what insanity looks like.
Richie James is pretty solid.
Says who?Richie James can't complete passes to the wide receiver Richie James though
Not so fast my friend. I'd put money on it that he can lolRichie James can't complete passes to the wide receiver Richie James though
