I'm definitely ready for spring practice to start and the good reports to flow. BTW, I'd put the chance of the starting QB being named after spring practice at 5%.

Yep.

The starting QB will be named sometime during summer/fall camp. No way a true starting QB will be named after spring since the best QB's available will not be practicing during spring.

Maybe our spring practice will officially end at a later date.

Responding to the OP question....could be the coaches want to re-group a little after going all out for 6 to 8 weeks trying to put together this recruiting class. Who could blame them if that was the reason? They also may want to have time to review film and determine what this teams weaknesses and strengths are for the immediate future. Other than that, its obviouisly what Gus wants to do and its his call to make. I dont see the problem. All teams get the same number of practices regardless when they start them or end them.

Yawns.....I get the importance of spring football I guess. I dont get why they dont just cut it out and add two more weeks in August but I will be watching the first round of the NCAA tournament (best event in all of sports) then and watching AU-UA Baseball. Who can tell much from spring practice honestly. They dont show anything.

Memo to Malzahn give us a real game at A-day not the crap Chizik ran. 3 points for an interception nonsense.

Most people are going because of Toomer's trees give us a real game and dont run vanilla offense and defenses.

For reasons you just alluded to...Ive gone to 2 spring scrimmages...the 1st and the last were the same one back in the late 80s. Good Lord it was boring and I swore i would never go back but I think I am going for the final Toomer's Corner thing this year.

Should be a VERY interesting QB battle. Geez, when's the last time we had a settled QB situation going into Spring or even the season? (and no, Cam was not recognized and Mr. Heisman when he first came in).

We finish on or about 4/20, maybe 1 practice day after A Day. But, it doesn't matter when you start, all the teams are allowed the same number of practices. Gus is just concentrating those practices in a shorter time span than the others. There could be several reasons. One reason could be that he wants the team to be more focused on football and his plans for the team. An additional reason could be that he wants the majority of March dedicated to strength and conditioning training with no other distractions.

I doubt it'll ever happen, but id love to hear CGM's opinion on what happened last year after reviewing all the games. I really hope he does watch em all, with a thick notebook and several bic's. Seems like not doing so would be heading in blind, i was just hoping we might get a few thoughts. What happened? How will we correct this to avoid a repeat?

Well thinking about how Gus seems to operate he might not...he seems hell bent on jumping right in and going now.
