How is this for an answer....

It's critical?
Everything is about starting one week later?
We have prideful individuals that need to start later?
Starting one week later is part of the process?
Everything is about recruiting?
Our team will be one week older?
The power of one....week later?


I'm sure there's more....

CBJ timed Spring Camp (March 24 - April 25) to begin after Spring Break (March 14-22), and to be done before exam week (April 27 - May 5).

Other schools with later spring breaks, like Arkansas (March 23-27) couldn't get it all in between the two academic milestones, so have to spread spring camp out on either side of the break.

*shrug* I could see some coaches preferring a break in the middle of camp, but I'd be with CBJ -- have a nice, concentrated month so you can really hold the players' focus.

The real head-scratcher is Vandy, who could easily have put spring camp between the break and exams (their spring break is next week, March 2-6), but chose to run a really early spring camp on both sides of the break anyway. And, insult to injury, then got snowed on for the first part of camp.

The ? is. Are you sure about the Vandy dates?They seem very early. :loco:

 

[Slowrunnertn]

Do we know if they broadcast the spring game anywhere?

 

[Other_Guy]

Its a process.

 

[Dave1967]

Do we know if they broadcast the spring game anywhere?

The UTsports.com website carries the Orange and White game and 990 the sports animal in Knoxville does as far as i know also.

 

[VFL-82-JP]

Do we know if they broadcast the spring game anywhere?

Real good chance SEC Network will carry as many of the spring games as they can. This being the first spring with the network, we'll see.

My guess. In Mason's infinite wisdom. He's thinking it somehow gives Vandy an advantage? Ya know, by being done a month earlier than everyone else? So they uh......have an extra month to forget everything before Summer practice?

:crazy:

[CarbonVol]

Because they are prideful individuals

It's all about relationships

It's about the right fit

Blah blah blah

The Tennessean will probably have articles saying Vandy is improved or watch out for Vandy. Then they'll be dumbstruck when Vandy goes 1-11.
