We are mostly through the Darkness. The Light is near. Love awaits!
As they say in the South, there are four seasons: football, recruiting, spring ball, summer camp.
Nice! Or, put differently, there are just two seasons: football season, and navel-gazing season. We are now emerging from navel-gazing into real football, and it's about time!
I do like the Spring Game, but I actually much prefer the late summer open scrimmages because you have a chance to see the incoming guys for the first time. For example, a few years ago, my son and I saw Bryce Love score two long TDs and leave everyone in the dust by 10 yards - we knew then that he had truly phenomenal speed and would not be redshirting! Last year, Wedington and Parkinson were interesting, and we actually ran the same few plays for them in the first couple games of the season as we ran in the scrimmage.
Probably only 4-6 weeks until the open scrimmages!
