I have a stupid question

TheColonyEagle · August 31, 2005

The team was supposed to get the equipment ready, fly to Baton Rouge, play the season opener, fly back, get in late, etc.

That's gone now.

Why not split up the team up and have a green and white game Saturday night?

A full 4 quarters. Give the coaches a chance to call real game situations, play a full game on the new fouts turf, stay sharp (as sharp as they can anyway given the situation)

It may sound like a lot of trouble but it can't be more trouble than flying out of town, etc.

Get the thing as close to game situations as possible? Get plays in to Meager, let him run the offense, etc. Mix in some MTSU plays, something. I'm not talking about a big advertised major event here. That may be seen in poor taste considering the tragedy that is still ongoing, but football wise, it may help.

Anything would help. The major downside of course would be risking injury.

But would that help or be a waste of time?

I think that I heard that they are going to have something on Saturday. Now if it's a practice or a scrimmage I'm not sure.

No matter what we do, i dont think it will be looked on as distastful becuase of whats going on, its not like all of college football is shutting down because of this thing, just those few colleges that were greatly affected by the storm.

I agree with the Vet...having a scrimmage or practise in know way is in poor taste...btw if there is a scrimmage someone please post the date and time.

PLEASE
