I thought those were usually on a weekday closer to finals. I just know I havent been able to attend because of school/work in the past.
Revised forecast. Pretty nice on Thursday and Friday in the low 70's. Suppose to drop to around 50 degrees at noon Saturday with rain.
Please don't rain on Saturday. I just want my football fix without the damn rain. Michigan rescheduled its spring game this Saturday due to the forecasted downpour.

What time does the game start?

Gotta keep an eye out on which RB is ready to take the load as the main workhorse, especially looking forward to seeing the highly touted Nicholas Sims. Obviously QB play will be worth watching also.
Now Friday 7 PM.
66 degrees, cloudy, 7% chance of rain.
Rocket football at night in the Glass Bowl.
Doesn't get much better!04-cheers
Man, I was thinking it was going to be relatively mild, but that northerly wind made it feel like a cold November night. I wasn't dressed for that so I had to go back to the car and get my winter shell and a pair of gloves. I still was not comfortable and my brain is still thawing out, but I can share a few things I noticed.

So, I thought Guadagni and Peters both threw the ball pretty well. Guadagni threw a long beauty downfield right on the money hitting the receiver in stride--and it was into that wind. Caleb Martin had a good number of opportunities, too. Ronnie Jones had a lot of carries, I believe Nicholas Sims did, too. Bryce Mitchell and Rhett Blackman played a lot and I thought they were impressive. The RB's made some plays, but it seemed like the DL kept it from being too easy.

I hope there will be a video of the game on Rocket Vision. I'd like to be able to watch it without the blurred vision from shivering.
No stats from UT. They usually have them for the spring game.

There were some #''s on Football's Twitter.
I meant to mention Koback, but when I got home I was like, "Was that Koback or Kovacs?" Maybe both. Koback has some nice moves. Really smooth with good acceleration. IIRC, McCrimmon had an impressive run on a reception to the outside. He had 1 guy to beat for a big gain but got tripped up. You could tell he was frustrated with getting tripped up when he came off the field.
Smart move going to Friday for the game.04-bow Looking pretty wet and cold in the Glass City.
Broback broke off some nice runs early on. Number 71 (Brock Ruble 6-8 325 transfer from Florida State) is going to be a load for MAC DE’s to get around him. Hope the other bookend tackle, Cam Bell (6-8 340) can hold done his side if he gets the starting job.
Either of the QB’s looked capable, with some nice touch and bullets thrown. Defense, IMO, seemed to dominate... A good crowd on hand, considering the Mudhens and Walleye were playing downtown, and the weather got kind of nasty later on.

Very interesting! Limited stats. No updated depth chart since the end of November, no
Spring Prospectus, etc. And for the Spring game, limited plays for some top playmakers. Not really giving too much away.

For anyone who was at the game, I was interested in freshman RB Nicholas Sims from Alabama. He was very impressive on high school tape, and I was thinking he could be our next great back. No mention of him in any of the post-game stories.

I'm more concerned about Center and Guard play. Who's snapping the FB besides Harris. I've noticed most of the interior OL has lost some weight and the OT's put some on from last Spring's roster. Hopefully the Rockets are better conditioned and a little quicker.
