Are you planning on going to the Spring Game?

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 3/27/2017, 11:40 pm

There is a shit ton of hand wringing amongst some drama queens in our fanbase it seems. So I ask, are you planning on going, and if you are saying no, and it's something you might normally do, please state why not.

Me: I am 85% planning on going because it's a fun day on campus with my son.

If I do not go it would be because the weather will be shitty. Still waiting on forecast as we get closer. Right now I'm hearing 50's, which is totally tolerable.

I will stay that the problems in the football program probably are adding about 10% to my uncertainty. The game last year was April 22nd. April 1st makes the weather a bit dicier. I know they moved everything up this year due to the issues.

Why would they move the game up due to issues?

I don't think I'll be able to make it this year..

last year, as I recall, I earned my Senior Staff Writer/Sideline Reporter credentials by posting live from a couple of EL bars then walking over to the game. My wife was out of town at a conference and my daughter was busy with something.. so I figured I'd walk downtown and see what was going on, logged into tSwill and the rest is in nicely tucked away and documented for the sake of posterity in the compendium of modern message board history.

This year, we have family coming into town.. so I'll be preoccupied with that. Doubtful that I'll be able to document my Saturday with the same journalistic prowess I did last year.

Not this year. I have gone the previous 7 years because it was at the end of April near my dad's birthday. Being on April 1 doesn't appease to me and I don't feel like making two trips to EL in one month.

gotta admit, it would be kinda funny if a gaggle of MSU fans showed up and Hollis was standing at the main entrance of Spartan Stadium gleefully shouting "April Fools"!!!

No. Weather could be gross and I honestly just don't enjoy spring games. I hope everyone that makes the trip has a great time, though.

still 4-5 days out but the weather is looking pretty good (for the first day of April in Michigan).

I'm glad everyone will have decent weather, then. With as crappy as this year has been for MSU, anyone who makes the trip deserves to have a nice day.

I think you're the one that acts like a child. You have been for 20 years.

by **Watch Out Pylon!** 3/28/2017, 8:47 am

If it doesn't rain, yeah. An excuse to hang out with some friends. Their kids are finally old enough to bring to a game. Should be fun.

by **DWags** 3/28/2017, 8:50 am

Pass A Grille Florida for ten days starting Friday. Screw the football. Even my daughter got permission not to be there. We out.

by **Travis of the Cosmos** 3/28/2017, 9:03 am

Nah, never been to one.

Bingo, I'm out for this very reason - the conspiracy theorist in my says they choose that day specifically because damned near every school district in Michigan starts break this week.
I went for a few years when my oldest son was interested in the youth activities, and then he'd want to go in the stands and have a Stadium lunch of a Coke, dog, nachos and a ice cream Sammy. Big shout out to Pete Clifford as my son was assigned to his group back in the day, and Pete was just great with the kids.

nope. simply not worth it on many levels. Fwiw, if hollis wants a another pet project instead of his job, here's where to start

10 days laying drunk on the beach?

St Pete is pretty sweet though

We have a spring game? I thought the entire team is suspended?

Not going.

Too cold.

by Triple Sparty 3/28/2017, 1:22 pm

No. Thought about going to my first one this year but too early.

by **InTenSity** 3/28/2017, 1:54 pm

Not gonna make it. Just not worth it. I don't have the time or money to make it. Kinda busy this weekend.

Dantonio said there are more than three players suspended. So, that tells you how much of a cluster fuck things have turned into

That's what happens when you promote your buddies and lose focus.

by **InTenSity** 3/28/2017, 3:40 pm

I'll be in Michigan over Memorial day weekend. I don't think there will be any practices then.

Sounds like you think this whole mess is on Dantonio, Warner and Barnett. Personally, I blame the black guy with glasses.

To quote your buddy blunch: you simpleton.

Is that your real reason for not going, that it's too early? Really, be honest.

I'd really love to show my support, but unfortunately I'll be stuck a boat floating around the Virgin Islands, I fear I'll have no other recourse but to drink heavily.

I'm comfortable with that. The whole expectation that true fans should go to a scrimmage/practice 5 months before the season starts is sort of weird if you think about it. But that's okay.

I bet you'll just be spending that time watching Dark Knight Rises again instead of supporting your team.

Id sooner spend the whole time punching myself in the dick.

Seriously though why am I expected to support my team in such a manner? I go to all the games. Have season tickets. Why is a random Saturday in April an expectation? It's kinda silly really.
