Me that's who. Love the Spring game. Am very interested in seeing Davis who -last year- displayed a great arm, moved really well for a big guy, but showed poor decision making.

Like everyone, want to see what tall the hype is about concerning Peart. Heck, looking forward to seeing an intact OL as well.

I am psyched. What do you want to see (besides a nice day)?

I'm bummed I'm missing it this year but booked a trip to Puerto Rico a month or two ago for a friend's 30th and didn't know the Spring Game was scheduled for that day. D'oh.

However, I really want to see some advancement from the OL -- if they can't take a significant step forward this year, we're going to continue to languish as a mediocre team. We need better blocking, period. I'm hoping Crozier looks great along with the young kid, Peart, and that they continue to push this line to be better.

Agree with the above but I also want to see how GA performs as QB when he's (finally) given the chance to lead the team in real game situations. I'm actually hoping he surprises in a very positive way. We absolutely need viable depth at QB this year.

Am I a bad person if I want to see nothing from any of the backup QBs just so I don't have to listen to people whining for a QB change after every 3 and out on opening day?

Hey Palatine was right about Orlovsky. So there's that.

You're a funny guy! If no one complained (especially the OP) the Boneyard wouldn't be as entertaining as currently orchestrated.

I am already looking forward to the post titled...."Why does Diaco hate Tyler Davis?" ;)

I am hoping to hear that OL was solid and consistent. I am hoping that this year we can evaluate QB play without saying...."Brady wouldn't be successful behind that line".

Hoping to see good battles between the receivers and secondary. OL improvement obviously and how Anderson is used. Oh and Levenberry.
Levenberry is a good call. Very interested to see what he brings to the field.

67 and sunny. Great spring afternoon weather! The guys really do a great job with the fans and kids after the game is over. The Spring Game is always a first class operation (situational Pasqualoni ball aside).

Got my wisdom teeth out yesterday morning. Hoping to recover in time for Saturday. Looking for some new CR updates via corn hole, again.

I haven't missed one in a long time. Having an internal debate as to what to grill up but cannot wait.
The D has always ruled this day. Would love to see the # 1 offense put up 24-28 points. That to me would be progress.

I'll be getting on a cruise...I have little doubt that you good folks will have all the details for me upon my return. I'm sure there will be players that look like Marvel Superheroes and those that look utterly useless (usually the same player). Diaco will be a genius and an idiot.

Goalline offense on UConn's side of the field for 36 minutes running time (read: runs up the middle with a 165 pound back with an offensive line full of matadors), run by a pair of coaches who resents his program's fans ...Oh right. That's what fans were "treated" to in 2013.

First and foremost, nice weather so my entire family can go.

Does anyone know what the set up is going to be like? Quirking scoring systems, a la Edsall? 1s vs. 2s? 1s vs. 1s/2s vs. 2s? If's it's 1s vs. 2s like it was last year, I want to see the 1s dominate. I know they start switching things up in the second half, but for the most part, I want to see those who've earned it to prove it.

On an individual player level, I'm looking for:
1. return to hard running by Ron Johnson.
2. Crisp passes by Bryant Shirreffs.
2a. No drops...period.
3. Size, cohesion, and chemistry.

I'm kind of interested to see what Johnson's burst looks like after a sort of disappointing year. Hope he bounces back! Would like to see how last year's freshman WRs have improved and how Billy Williams looks as a pass catching TE. He and Tommy could make for a great tandem. Beyond that, I'll be looking at the OL and Adams replacement at safety

Is Tommy cleared to play?
