knapplc Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 We had 80,000 at Bo's first Spring Game. I don't think there was as much fan fatigue then as there is today. Also, the belief was that Bo was going to bring gritty, tough defense to the table - the opposite of what Cosgrove was doing - and hope was high. Today, I don't think anyone knows what to expect from Riley. There isn't as much of a "savior" narrative with him because he's so unknown. He's been working so hard on recruiting that the fans have barely gotten to know him. And his Assistants are a complete unknown. I really don't expect a full house for the Spring Game. It'd surprise me. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 What time do you think? I am kind of hoping it is at 2pmI'm hoping not. I just found out my grandma is throwing herself a 90th birthday party on that day, and my father has informed me I will be there. God damned Iowa fans and their terrible planning. I'll PM you some tips on how to fake your own kidnapping without getting the Feds involved. 2 Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Any time other than 2:00 and I will make it happen. If it is 2:00, I still might try to come for the tailgate festivities, get hammered, and make my fiance drive me to Omaha for the birthday party. Training her for marriage, amirite.

QMany Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'll PM you some tips on how to fake your own kidnapping without getting the Feds involved. I would appreciate it. She was down here a few weeks ago staying with me. She was inquiring whether she should wear a pant suit to her party. Her party she's throwing herself. 2.5 months from now. In a womens pant suit.

teachercd Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I am thinking that if it is a nice week and it looks like Saturday will be sunny and in the high 60's or low 70's that NU will end up with 75K Quote Link to comment
cg_8 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 When I was a student that weekend always rocked. There was always a home baseball game that was scheduled after the spring game. It had consistently been beautiful during those years and it was just a day for sports. Football. Baseball. Golf. Last year I took my son who had a blast. I'm looking forward to it already. Even more so to get a look at some new schemes. Albeit they'll be vanilla, but still, that stuff is great for a guy like me. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Michigan's spring game is the week before and it was just announced that it would be on BTN. Ohio State's is the following weekend. I would have to think that puts us in good shape for a BTN broadcast. Quote Link to comment
