Spring Practice Event

[KRAM1]

Just saw this...Open Spring Practice on 2/21 beginning at 9am at Apogee...Seth will talk about the 2018 signing class as well and a free lunch will be provided in the Hub Club Area.  Lunch will be served at 11:15 I believe.  In addition by signing up you are registered for a prize pack drawing (no idea what the prize pack entails).

Yes, I realize it is a 9am event on a workday, and lots of folks will have to work. But, for those who can attend it looks like a fun free look at the team, and a way to hear Coach Littrell talk about his newest class. I posted what I think is the sign up link below. Hope it works for you.

Note: I believe this day is the first day of spring practice. Just FYI.

How in the hell does someone downvote Kram on this?

How does one sign up if you don’t have a Facebook profile?

I would imagine that, as I(and others) have pointed out, the AD continues to have events in the middle of the week during normal working hours. It's still frustrating to say the least, and while I would love to go this, I can't justify taking an entire day of work off to watch spring football practice.

Good for people like Kram, bad for most others. I'm not complaining, just pointing out why someone would have an issue with it.

Just give Athletics a call and they can help you get signed up...I would call John Nitardy or Mike Smith just to be certain.  Their numbers are listed on the Athletic Dept website.

I got my call in on Monday and renewed then. I'm all in, lets go everyone lets go watch the  Mean Green Kick some A-- this  year.

Starting with SMU

I made it to the mid-day event to pick up tickets last August and was bummed that I didn't realize there was a free lunch until a couple days later.  I was sadface Mean Green.  

This one is smack dab in the middle of tax season, so no go. Oh well.  I ain't even mad.  

Related, have they set the date for the spring game yet?  I haven't gone for a couple years. 

 

Edit:  Schedule says spring game is at 7pm on Friday, March 30.  Friday?  Huh.  Unfortunately I made plans for that night months ago.

Is the Athletic Dept going have any area open to get out of the weather?

It's at Apogee, so if it rains, there are seats under the overhang of the club level, and there is an entire concourse for shelter.

My guess would be they open up the club as well for the lunch and to watch practice out of the elements

Would be a great way to try and pitch the idea of fans buying into the club level

[KRAM1]

Club level was open at about 8:45am for all attendees.  Had between 100-125 in attendance at the height during the lunch and Coach Littrell talk.  Some ventured out to watch practice...I did for a SHORT period of time, but the view from inside the club area was excellent enough for me on that day.

Interesting comment from Seth..."I don't have to coach the coaches".  He was speaking to how much faster they could get down to business this season as opposed to last as all coaches remained over from last season and all know the system and what Coach Littrell wants and expects.  Plus, the majority of players know their coaches quite well which makes for a fast start to spring ball.  Thought that was interesting.

Free lunch, which I liked very much, consisted of sausage dogs, hot dogs and chopped BBQ beef sandwiches and potato chips.  Nice!

All in all...good way to kick off spring ball for those fortunate enough to be able to attend.

Saw that.  Unlikely I make that date either.  March is tough for me. It is more feasible than the Friday night date though.

I hope they will continue this next year when I will be retired.
