How much more likely would you attend a spring game if it was against a live opponent?...

[dawgstudent]

I would be much more likely if it was even against a SWAC school.

 

[8dog]

It would be impossible not to be more likely than zero.

 

[patdog]

Nope. I'd actually rather watch a scrimmage than a live game vs a SWAC school.

 

[mdm3045]

Definitely more in favor of an exhibition game as opposed to a scrimmage

 

[thekimmer]

10% chance versus 0.

 

[dorndawg]

I think it'd be a good time to loop in prominent alumni. Make the Spring game honorary coaches like Dak versus Chris Jones, or Smoot vs Wayne Madkin. Maybe even have them do a live draft leading up to the game.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

A lot more

Or maybe our oldest living football alum, Austin Williams, can be an honorary coach.

Exhibitions are scrimmages...

(and if you'd said against an undead opponent that's still a no...)

 

[Dawgg]

I would have liked it a lot more if it was while Abram was still playing. I would much rather he knock out a tight-end from Delta State than on his own damn team.

 

[The Peeper]

A practice is a practice. If its not gameday, sorry I'm not interested

 

[Perd Hapley]

I’d be in favor of SEC teams being paired together for a spring game exhibition each year. Same rules as scrimmage would apply….red jerseys and no contact for QB’s, no blitzing, early whistles for ends of plays, etc. And I’m sure schools would still hold out their key players and wouldn’t treat it as a Super Bowl or anything. But it would be far more interesting than a scrimmage, and probably draw TV ratings on par (or better) with SEC basketball.

Alternate teams and home / away every year with every team, and on away years teams can still do a normal scrimmage on their big spring gathering weekends (SBW, DoubleDecker, A-day, etc.).

 

[NukeDogg]

I couldn't care less now, and that wouldn't change if we played a practice/scrimmage/exhibition against some other team either. Real football doesn't start until late August so whatever happens in April, who cares.

 

[Ranchdawg]

I would be much more likely if it was even against a SWAC school.

I would if we were playing someone like UAB, Southern Miss or ULM. Playing a SWAC team is just a waste of time. We get a better workout in the Maroon and White game.

 

[DAWGSANDSAINTS]

More likely than less likely.

 

[GloryDawg]

I would be there especially if the proceed went to a charity.

 

[Dawg1976]

Zero.

 

[horshack.sixpack]

I would be much more likely if it was even against a SWAC school.

Unlikely. This time of the year, early season yardwork seems to take most of my Saturdays.

 

[MaroonSadness99]

I would 100% be there if it were against another school. I haven’t been to a spring game in around 10 years

 

[onewoof]

100% likely if it is a dead opponent. Zombies don't quit.

 

[AstroDog]

I would be all for playing a mid major at the end of spring training for both teams. And.....let it count in the fall standings. A real game included in the home season ticket package. Say, someone like Ark.State, SELA, ULM, TennTech, MTSU, etc. Would give us 9 home games and in most years 8 home games.

 

[Maroon13]

To answer your Q, zero if the game was v a swac school. I'd rather see us line up good on good and see all the talent.

the best thing the school can do to encourage attendance is exactly what they are doing this year, a nice outdoor concert

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Have we been playing dead opponents? Where the hell have I been to not hear that

 

[Villagedawg]

I would be much more likely if it was even against a SWAC school.

0% vs. 0%

 

[BoDawg.sixpack]

I'd be for playing am SEC opponent in a spring game. Give me some meat on that bone.
