2019 Spring Practice

[Bisman]

I didn't see Ben Ellefson either on the field or on the sidelines and that concerned me a bit.

Punter struggled, but the place kickers (including the new guy from Ohio) looked very good.

Jasir Cox made a great hit near the end of the scrimmage.

Did Garrett Wagner struggle? Or one of the other punters? Garrett was all-conference last year.

Anyone that went and was able to actually watch the event have any info they'd like to share? As the production was ashit show

Evans and Ogbu look physically intimidating on the DL. Ogbu getting lots of coaching on technique. I'd watch for both of these guys to make an impact this year.

Yeah...don't remember seeing any punts that looked good.

The best part was watching last year's seniors posing for a photo with their rings once practice got going.

That was a waste of time watching. As stated before not sure why they showed the announcers most the show and when they did show plays they just zoomed in on the qb.

Yeah I’m trying to watch it now off of my DVR and have to say I’m struggling with it a bit. I’ve kinda seen more field goal kicks than anything so far and they zoom in on the kicker like he robbed a convenience store and are looking for his identity. Well at least there is Pro Seed!!! Sorry to bring this little rant up after some had already done so but man this is bad.

Now THAT was enjoyable!

2017 Spring game schedule of events (yes, a few changes in 2 yrs)

When I glanced back, 2018 was the first year they did not have an autograph session. They had something for the youth.
2015, 2016, and 2017 they had the Autograph session and many activities. We always enjoyed the Showcase!

I worked that Spring game! I made a couple appearances in the background starting at about 40 seconds. Fun experience I hope to do again.

I asked about the showcase. I was told TM didn’t even know we could tailgate until middle of the week. Basically, marketing needs to step it up.
