Spring Ball

[BengalSapper]

Does anyone know when the spring game will be held? We need to get as many people out and make it an event and continue the excitement. In years past you did not find out about the game until the day of or until it was already over. We need to get the students and the community to come watch Orange vs Black. If anyone has some pull with the CEO and can get the game scheduled for first week of April before the 10th it would be awesome as I will be home on leave from Afghanistan and get to attend.

Sapper, the spring game is usually in late April.

Spring ball will be here shortly. There's a lot of excitement around this years team so it begs the question:

Q. What do we need to see from this team this spring to keep the Bengal train rolling right into August - Sept?

For me, I'd say I want to see what the O line looks like and will they be ready to run this high tempo offense. Can they protect our QB or will he be throwing and running for his life?

Agreed - We do need to try to make the spring game a bigger deal. :thumb:

i remember going every year with my dad when they held it at davis field... those games used to always draw a decent crowd. i'd like to see it back there instead of inside the dome.

Rumor has it that spring ball is cancelled and our stud players like Tavoy Moores .7 GPA will be getting some extra class room attention.

The great thing is that Kramer understands his challenges and is facing them head on with an emphasis on discipline... Way to go "Big Human".

A shout out to Benavides sitting in the snow tomorrow morning based on his lack of

Good post Cal Bengal Fan, I have heard the same.

It may end up being a scaled back and conditioning related spring with a focus on academics.

I think kids really want to be lead and I think they all really want discipline. I have heard this from a number of players. Tavoy is a great kid and AB is a great kid--they will be better off for stepping up and answering the challenge.

Kramer will put the ship back together, piece by piece.

'great kid' = .7 gpa...?


care to explain that...?

seems like those two things don't go together...

(obviously the .7 could be wrong - but if it isn't then .7 don't suggest a 'great kid')

Having conquered some adversity of my own through the years, I believe that most 18-23 year old kids can do the same thing. I had some very good interaction with Tavoy when doing his recruiting profile and to be honest, I thought he was a very polite kid with good intentions.

I simply don't believe that the drones of kids that are academically challenged (on the current team) are all bad kids. I am confident that most will step up to the challenge. The kids that bitch and moan and don't embrace change and responsibility will miss the opportunity to compete next season. The slackers, malcontents and the non-committed are the only ones Kramer needs to worry about and those numbers will be few in the end. There will be some, but very few. :twocents:

Why not? I've known some real creeps, assholes even, who were 4.0 gpa guys.
