I got spoiled, I admit, the past couple of years with having the Spring Game on TV. If i lived anywhere close, I would surely make the drive to see it in person, but I can't afford to drop a grand or two on a spring game. I was really hoping to get an early look at Mett and several new kids. It just seems ridiculous that so many ACC teams are getting air time while LSU isn't. Anyway, that's my bitching for the day.

We may actually be able to practice something else besides a running back dive through the A gap now.

Since Miles was saving all the plays, right?

I disagree. For those of us who attend it will probably be better this year. Aside from meeting desmond howard or erin andrews this should be better without ESPN.

Last year I spoke with Kragthorp before the game mentioning that I was really excited to see the new offense and excited for him to be in town. His response was basically 'don't be too excited, we can't run any plays on TV'


Edit to OP: Didn't notice you were from Kansas. I wouldn't go either.

By that thinking this should be a better spring game since it is not on TV.

Don't be lazy, just go to the game. I live in south houston and I'm going.

Throughout the first eight games last year, our offense was very balanced and creative.

To be honest the spring game has went to shite since the departure of Richard Murphy. I think the spring game buzz he generated was what got ESPN fired up about broadcasting the LSU spring game in the first place. Now that he has moved on to the NFL I can't really blame the networks for not picking the games up..

Not until after almost surely.

I'm trying to figure out if I will be able to make it back from the black keys concert in NO to catch the spring game... but I doubt it.

Serious. That's how much it would cost someone who lives in Kansas to take his family to Baton Rouge for a couple of days to see the spring game.

That's a HELL of a big "aside from."

I vote for TV coverage, not that anyone cares what I vote for.
