Dr Z Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 And Spring game ? I haven't seen an official announcement, but from years passed I'll guess April 18th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balsy Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Usually spring practice begins a month before the spring game. Last year the Spring Game was April 18th, Spring Camp started on around March 17th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyzip84 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I had a chance to speak with TB last weekend and I believe he said the team was starting spring practice the week before spring break and taking the week of spring break off. They would then resume practices until the spring game, but I don’t recall if he told me the date of the game or not (I know, I’m a lousy reporter). We may be able to deduce this however with the information at hand:Spring break is from March 23 to March 29.A college is allowed to hold 15 spring practices, including a spring game. Schools are also permitted to have separate days during which activities are limited to required conditioning activities and/or watching film. These 15 practices must be completed within a period of 34 consecutive calendar days. Exceptions to consecutive days are university-sanctioned vacation and examination days, and days with inclement weather, restricting the possibility of practice. Only 12 spring practices may permit physical contact, none earlier than the third practice session. Tackling is allowed in eight of the twelve contact sessions. Up to three of the eight tackling sessions may be devoted to 11-on-11 scrimmages. The optional spring game counts as one of the three scrimmage days.Between Jan. 1 and the first date of preseason practice, a university conducts its offseason conditioning period. An institution designates eight weeks in this period as discretionary time for the student-athlete. The eight weeks must be broken up into segments that contain seven consecutive calendar days. The discretionary time period must be placed on file in the school's athletic department before Jan. 1. Mandatory team conditioning, film review and weight training can also be completed outside of the student-athlete discretionary period. These activities are limited to eight hours per week, with only two hours allowed for film review.Thus, spring practice will start on March 16, but those 1st few days will not have contact. If I recall correctly, they had a similar situation last year (spring break interrupting practice) and I believe they went 1 week before break and 3 weeks after break. Based on this, I think April 18 is the most likely date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipsoutsider Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 From GT on Twitter:"For @ZipsFB fans Terry Bowden on QB this spring (1/2): I think without a doubt with Trayvon Chapman having been ineligible last year... and him being eligible, I believe the position deserves to be wide open."

Spin Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 I wonder if baseball will move their starting time to go after the scrimage. Then the soccer game in the evening. That was a really nice day last year, we wound up watching four sports within a few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 At first blush, I'd say this sounds like bad news but I am sure someone can explain why I'm wrong.Looking at the whole picture, its good news and bad news. Good news in the sense that there is most likely a QB on the roster better than him right now not named Kyle Pohl (hence the transfer). Bad news in the fact that we are losing most likely the best HS recruit under Bowden before they have even played a down for us. Chapman has two years left right? That means Kincade would have had 2 years to start assuming present circumstances. We also just lost a big commitment from a 2016 QB. We were feeling great about the QB position in regards to depth/talent/experience, now all of the sudden long term and even this season is a huge question mark. We all seen first hand last year in college football how QB depth can make or break your season.All we know right now is that Chapman is the best QB on the roster in practice.If Chapman is the starter and the offense has changed, I'd bet my left nut that Woodson is the back up.

a-zip Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 At first blush, I'd say this sounds like bad news but I am sure someone can explain why I'm wrong. I am really bummed about this, I was excited to see Kincaide. My guess is the "style" of QB TB wants did not fit with Chandler. He appeared to be more of a drop back/gunslinger "pro style" quarterback. It appears the direction TB is headed is for more of a mobile/scrambling style quarterback.
