Let's have one thread breaking down the Spring Game - who stood out, what improvements have you seen, what position battles intrigue you most heading into Fall, what was the best part of your tailgate, etc.
 

I'd give my left arm to be there today, but I couldn't work it out. I hope those who can attend will report on what they see and experience.

Have fun and God bless!
 


Hope everyone has a good time at the spring game today, wish I could be there but I'm still stuck in London for another month or so.

Go Gophers!!
 

The game is on BTN at 7 tonight. Very disappointing that they are not showing it live. Sick of getting treated like crap. Granted we are not as successful as other B1G teams, but this still irritates me. Nebraska has been in the league for 2 years and their game was shown live. I am surprised they didn't show the Rutgers and Maryland spring games this year live instead of ours.

Is CBS sports network picking it up live by chance?

It's live online - Big Ten 2 Go
 


Anybody there yet? Are the lots filling up? I will be there soon.
 

My son is already there. Currently he is watching the Alumni game.

Around the stadium was pretty full but for such a beautiful day it feels like there should be more people here...looks like its just the die hards
 

Campus is buzzing with people. Hopefully some decide to make it over to tcf. What a great day to be back on campus.
 


Cant wait to tune in at 7:00 pm and see how things look. Then again its a scrimmage more concerned if the guys stay healthy and maybe we can get some good verbal commits to those kids who are there to watch the game.
 




hoping for some reports and/or pics sent to this thread.
 

Starting oline looks good. Williams running really well. Hawthorne already missed a 39 yd fg
 

Hinojosa had a sack. Leidner running the ball well but extremely flat throwing the ball
 

Orseske shows up again in practice. Cockran just had a sack were he got off the ball and accidentally hit Leidner
 

Kirkwood 2nd touchdown from a yd out.
 

That catch and run by Maxx Williams was impressive. He looks the part of a future stud at TE.
 

Also, Nelson is perfect so far. 9-9 I believe.
 


Zach Mottla looks a long way away from playing again. Walking with cane. Hoping for a speedy recovery for him between now and the fall.

Ed Olson's ankle doesn't seem to be bothering him walking. No limp at all.
 

So am I correct in understanding that Comcast offers BTN but not BTN2Go? Solid company

Not only that, but they just raised their prices by 9 percent on my bill this month. :banghead:
 

Fun day. Good crowd. Team didn't look bad. Great weather. Best gopher spring game experience I have ever had
 

Nelson and Leidner both looked good at QB. I like what I saw from Maxx Williams. Theiran Cochran had a nice game, so did Jamel Harbison. You can definitely see progress being made in year 3 for Jerry Kill, they are much deeper and athletic than in previous years.
 

I've been to the last 5 spring games and this was the best the team has looked in my opinion. Was Hageman held out just for the safety of himself and others??? Also, don't get me started on the concessions....

C'mon Homer...Give us your confessions on the concessions.

Living in Atlanta, I thought it was a local issue. I can actually watch BTN live on my lap top through Comcastg and I guess my Ipad (I just got it yesterday), but I do not have access to BTN2go. So this is an issue with Comcast. Hmmm! I used to have Direct TV and I could get BTN2go anywhere, even in 3rd world Eastern countries. It actually keeps me somewhat sane when I am on the road in a country whose language I do not speak. Maybe, I have to go back to Direct TV.
