What would you consider a 'Great Spring Game'

[Jaybird]

Speaking of the Spring Game, have they said what the format is going to be for this years spring game? How the teams are going to be divided, how the clock will run etc?

^ i think the clock will run backwards. they'll start with a high number, and eventually end up at zero.

The Polish Auction approach. Interesting.

Probably the same way as the last 4 under Bo, mix of roster, and running clock in the second half.

A hot sunny day so girls are wearing short shorts and tank tops

 

I agree with this and possibly getting to know the cheerleaders and snagging a phone number or two.

 

If that doesn't happen i'd love to see a game of duck duck goose break out center field. Because I'd love to see the DC's get confused as they try to scheme for it.

That is what I figured, but I had not heard an official announcement as of yet.

I'd just liked to see a balanced effort, and see some pretty good 1 v 1 match ups. It's a practice scrimmage, and a very basic one at that. It's more of a salute to the fans than it is a time for the coaches or players to do anything of value.

I just hope the attendance isn't hurt by the game being televised.

I have read in a couple of places that Taylor and Rex are not getting that much playing time during practice, rather they are putting in the young guys. That was heartening to read. I hope attendance isn't hurt by the game being televised either-I'm thinking it probably won't be hurt because Husker fans are rabid and will use any excuse to get into Memorial Stadium and whoop it up! I would LOVE to see precision during this scrimmage. Clean technique...sort of like this is a 'dress rehearsal' for their first game. I agree that this will be a major recruiting tool so I hope that the place is packed out and that the team really puts on a good show. GBR!

Given it's on tape delay, I think only a small percentage of people will choose to stay at home and see it. If anything this will be great for fans outside of Nebraska who don't have a legitimate chance to ever see them play the spring game each year.

A constant down pour of rain on the verge of a monsoon. Nothing says football like battling the elements

[huskereddie]

An opportunity to look at some of the new and upcoming players AND then hope that their abilities are again showcased this fall. We seem to get a 'glimpse' of a good backup and then they go into hybernation in the fall never to be heard from again.

['SkersRule]

What would I consider to be a great Spring Game? No injuries.

[huskerenner]

Its all about the uniforms,isn't it?

Here's my vision for "The Perfect Spring Game: 2012"

 

The morning starts as a thick mist rolls in over the city. We see montage clips of players waking out of bed, coaches restless from nights without sleep. The backdrop is a hauntingly dramatic tune that keeps rising and rising, in such a way that you don't know the ending to this story. Much like Dante and his inferno, you get the ominous chill down your spine that whatever is about to happen...it will grow to define you. Suddenly the music crescendos and with a mighty blast goes completely silent. What follows is a bird tune, slow but steady...wait, could it be? Yes! The bird is singing the melody of the fight song! Everyone three states around wakes to this foreshadowing omen. Some arise with a simple yet sure statement; "It's back". Others, from lands to the east, offer up the same words with tears rolling down their eyes, soiling their black&yellow pj's.

 

As the hours move on, the horde rolls in. Thousands upon thousands of creatures descend upon the same destination -- a great monolith of brick and mortar -- looking for their lifesource; their reason for existence. As they draw nearer and congregate together, they notice something is different. One entire side of the great Memorial Stadium is draped in a humongous cloth. Finally, as the time has arrived, there is a collective gasp as the mysterious shroud is removed, unveiling a completely finished East Stadium expansion, but this is more than anyone could have believed.

 

"That doesn't look like the pictures!" one fan exclaims.

 

"How is this possible??" gasps another.

 

A number of improvements and amenities have been added to the expansion - the world's largest video board extended 5,000 feet high on a pole and facing straight downwards, a waterfall, a three-story tall playplace for children and unlimited free ice cream and Valentino's for all. In one collective motion, all 92,000 people bow down and worship their Lord, one Mr. Dr. Super Ultra Awesome Old Balls Tom Osborne. With knees bent and arms raised high, MDSUAOBTO himself steps up to his throne sitting atop East Stadium.

 

"Let. It. Begin."
