Spring Practices

[uofmman1122]

Remember when people actually attended practice and posted information and then we discussed, prognosticated, predicted, and argued about that information?
It’s 19 years later and all we can do is periodically check the team roster for information.

Feel free to go to practice and write up some reports for us. :thumb:

So is Disney better than Ochs, or vice versa? Who will start? We need UPWIMT to weigh in.

the atmosphere is so much more positive than the last several years, with players focused, and ready to go. many are from strong families living in small towns in montana, where only the toughest survive...

Hard telling how many NCs we might have won had Disney won the job.

350 miles away, don’t know any players, coaches, staff or anyone connected. Inside information and on site observations have to come from people in the groups mentioned above. Since Egriz began that has been the formula.

I caught a little bit of yesterdays. Honestly - based on the discussion here, the tough thing for reporting regular practice updates is that for a little while practices have been closed because coaches did not like information such as starting groups and injuries being posted on message boards so they locked down practices somewhat. I’ve enjoyed being able to make it to a handful just to see how the team looks.

From my observation yesterday it definitely seemed like a pretty energetic and spirited practice. It seems to me like this massive group of underclassmen is getting a lot of work to determine who might be a reliable contributor for the next season versus who is still progressing along and needs more time before they break through the 2 deep.

Just like you probably saw from the football Twitter account, it’s good to see guys like Marcus Knight back out there.

The one thing about Hauck spring camps is that there is not a whole lot of live action the fans would really enjoy. It’s a whole lot of individual drills that are usually broken down to position groups. Was there for 90 minutes and near half of what I saw was drills that seemed focused on special teams work. Not that that’s a bad thing - it’s just tough for a fan to see how new starters look, etc.

Going to try to catch a few more next week as well.

Enough of the excuses, Brint. Give us the juice.

As Brint stated, it's not the same as it used to be.

I just find it a little weird whenever people who haven't ever contributed inside info get incredulous and demand other people do it for them.

Same. That said, I want my free inside info, and I want it yesterday. I’ve worked my whole life, and I deserve to have every post be about Xs and Os on this site, which I have absolutely no part in managing.

Thanks Brint. Maybe just go to one early in the week and if it’s the same, then don’t go until next week. No need to waste your time if there’s so little to see, unless it’s something you really like to do. Speaking for myself of course.

Egrizzers are to blame for limited info here. Solid or better posters, with good info had enough criticism here and called it quits. Understandingly so.

Thanks Brint. Anybody know if they might stream the spring game again this year?

 

[I.M.O.#90-C.C.]

Any word on who is running with the 1’s and 2’s on the Oline at the 5 spots?

I think they are rotating it a lot right now but Dreis at LT and Casey at RT are getting long looks with the 1s. Mayginnes at LG and Forbes at C are the mainstays, then at right guard Liam Brown and some others are being looked at at that position. I suspect with the youth the coaches will continue to play around with combos.

Allow me to whet your appetite with a juicy nugget to gnaw on. Ever notice how Louie hardly ever came out of the game? Seriously, dude played like every down.

On the 2deeps, the backup for his spot was usually Mathhews I think (maybe Flink snuck in there too). Who’s going to take over that LB spot?

Here’s a hint: the kid is from Anaconda and he’s a total F’n beast. A move from strong side to weak. More responsibility including more reverses, cut backs, etc.

Thus, the starting LBs for the spring game will be Welnel, Hill, Janacaro (I believe Patty Ice is out temporarily).

way to go out on a limb with the Hill pick. :lol: :lol: :lol: Dude was 1st LB off the bench consistently all season. And with Matthews, Flink, Janacaro and a couple others sitting there, we're stacked at that position for the foreseeable future.

It’s not a “pick”. This is not just me guessing.
I don’t think you understand the positions and rotations and appreciate that this is an actual move with a big leapfrog. Hill rarely, if ever, played Jace’s spot last year, and was not listed on the 2deep there. It is a very different position with almost opposite responsibilities. I think Hill only played the position once in garbage time. They don’t just plug in players where ever (unless it’s a blowout). They usually must practice at that spot all year, and only get in according to the rotation. Welnel and Hill were competing for the same spot, but not now. This might be the biggest move so far in spring ball.
No wonder all the good posters left 20 years ago. Offer a morsel of inside knowledge and get mocked with ridicule by someone 1000 miles away who does not understand/appreciate.

Jesus H. tittyfucking Christ....get your panties out of your vagina. I wasn't "mocking" or "ridiculing" you. It was an attempt at sarcasm. What are you, 12?
