I tuned into ESPN today around 1:00 & they were showing the Bama annual Spring scrimmage/game and it looked like a real game (officials, full camera crew, etc.). I thought that we were football enthusiasts and our Spring game was well attended but I could not believe what I saw. I estimated that their stadium was about 75% filled (could not see in the 123 skyboxes) which based on a total capacity of 92,138 is approximately 70,000. Man, we don’t hold a candle to them! But, if we promoted this differently and charged $5 – $10 a ticket it would bring in an extra $350,000 – $700,000 for the program.

What do you think?

We have 3+ months so take your time; why not recruit some help so you can cover the different units…many minds make light/less work.

Thanks

Things have been a little crazy this week for both of us. I will find some time today to sit down and write a little about what goes on in the “down time.”

What do you need from all of us in order to pull this off? Just name your price!

There is never a lock on the film room. Coach Mendenhall would let you live in the film room if you wanted.

I would by NCAA 09 on XBox and just play BYU v OU all summer!

Come to think of it. I always had a tradition since high school of playing the team we were going to play that week in NCAA football. In our high school unis looked just like USC so I was always SC and then I would pick a college team that look like our opponent. At BYU it was easier because I knew exactly who to pick.

I would be memorizing every single play OU ran last year like it was Madden 09.

Thanks…would you please, along with Quinn and others, give us a glimpse of what happens with the team during this next 3.5 months of Blackout (please refer to my specific questions in an a-mail to Quinn and you)? We all to be an a football IV until August.

I think it is a safe bet to say that BYU will have some wrinkles in the offense. McKay and Covey would be great guys to run the wildcat. Most likely Covey. From the comments Max has been making, I think he may be carrying the ball a little more this year which is a good thing. Sometimes when you are in trouble yo0u have to tuck and run.

I think you are on the right track here. Down the road Chambers may develop into a greta return man, but he is not quite there yet. I got the feel last season that he was surprised when he couldn’t run by people in college like he was probably used to doing in high school. On KOR you also have to either break 1 tackle or make 1 guy miss. The first guy got him every time. McKay is awesome! he has vision, speed and quickness and you can almost be certain he will be back there this year. Having Covey back there would be quite interesting. Could be a good thing for him. I see Ashworth and Chambers as being identical.
