Is the spring game a "real" game this year?

[Palatine]

Anyone know the format?

I'll have to find the article but I was just reading a Diaco quote that it would be a "real game" format, minus live kickoffs/kick returns.

ON SPRING GAME FORMAT "It is going to look like a game. It is going to be a game but we are not going to have live kickoffs and live kickoff returns."

That would be great!

Yeah I can live with lack of kickoffs. But I do like something resembling a real game. Just hope I can get a program this year so I can keep track of the players.

Any idea if it is on TV yet? Need to tape it.

Can't wait! I'll be there, firing up the grill at noon. Even talked my wife into coming this year!

Actually going to start planning my menu and going through my gear this weekend. Get it all ready for the season! Can't wait. Acutally seriously considering buying a wi-fi hotspot this season so we can bring along a laptop hooked up to a flat screen TV to stream ESPN and College Gameday in the lot. Anyone tried this at The Rent?

I remember a few on the Michigan fans in the Silva's lot on similar type rigs.

Please, no rain for the spring game. The rain for the last two home games just about did me in.

if we don't look at it or talk about it... maybe it won't notice us, and will not bother us...

Take it easy. We are still hoping he will consider September real games.

Hard to believe its next Saturday. Can't wait to reconnect with our awesome tailgate family and watch the 2015 edition of Huskies playing in my favorite colors.

No rain last year just a boring format.

Weather right now is looking pretty decent for the tailgate (...oh yeah, and the game), 62 and part clouds. Probably will set up the pop-up tent just in case. Flags will be waving at noon, grill fired-up no matter what!
