I just wanted to come but for this no way! Ok please explain. It is live football, they will be going full go, blocking, tackling, scoring, etc. It’s live action they just won’t be using some stupid, hard to understand scoring system that many teams use. Are you that concerned that you want to see the blue team win? White team? So many teams do it this way these days. Do what you gotta do but I just don’t get your logic?

I’ve never seen the results of those show up in the standings. And by the way, I am letting him parent how he wants, I’m just asking a question. So it’s not ok to ask him to explain his thinking??

I don't have to explain to you why i don't want to go i already explained this, it's gonna be less than i thought it would be what is it to you? I wanna watch FOOTBALL not a practice i don't care about what other schools are doing i care to what my son school is doing. I stay in Miami if i feel these changes change my mind on spending money to see something i don't want to see i won't come its that simple, We aren't the same i'm use to see a certain type of football you're not. I don't want to pay to travel to watch my son practice i've watched him practice his whole life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t care what you do and I’m not judging what kind of parent you are or aren’t. My point is that what they are doing isn’t that different than a traditional spring game and I was curious why you are so adamant about not going. It has nothing to do with you being a parent or not, it’s a general question for anyone so upset about the format. Seems like a non issue to me. And by the way, what type of football are you used to seeing that I’m not?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My big takeaway of the day was - Finley is accurate. Short and long throws, in traffic, he hits his target. will this game be on tv? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 There now. It's nice to get out in the fresh air and see some football. Perfect day. Nice to see they're still bombarding us with unnecessarily loud music. Oh, and get off my lawn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 I was there for about an hour. Some quick impressions: * As someone mentioned before, Finely is more mobile than I expected. In very simple terms, he runs the ball better than Bullock passes it, so he appears to be the more complete QB. * The offensive line needs work. * The Roggow kid, the freshman QB, was surprisingly composed and effective. * A missed 22 yard field goal? Yikes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 My takeaways (and I’ll add that in my opinion it’s hard to take much from this with so many players rotating in and out): -seems like starting OL was James, Lyons, Williams, Davis, and Blanchard. Did not notice Shor in, but may have missed it. Same with Seymore. - like others have said, Finley seems like he’ll be the starter. Didn’t see anything in terms of bad decisions, and seemed to throw a good, accurate ball. Doesn’t look like Bullock has improved a whole lot. - I see Simmons and Kellom getting bulk of the carries with Williams a more distant #3. -saw some young guys looking like they’re more ready to contribute this year. James as mentioned, also Catrell White and Jean Louis look like they can play. Laing-Taylor had a nice int as others have said and I thought he had a nice hit on Paul Davis as well. - players I noticed not dressed included Phaizon Wilson, Alex Adams, Jarvis Rush, Iesa Jarmon, Kabbash Richards looking forward to reading other takeaways. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 Glad to hear the turnout was good. The University lacks effective marketing at times but a good spring game turnout shows there's some community excitement for the program. I didn't attend so I'll only be adding some random thoughts. - Would be cool if the University live streamed the game on GoZips.com or YouTube. Just set up some cameras, have a student run the switch (or even just have one camera with no angle changes), and let fans who couldn't attend view it. - WVU had Pat White & Pat McAfee coach their spring game. I wonder if we could get Hixon and Blackburn or some other OG Brookhart guys to come back and participate next year. - Can we move Bullock to TE? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
