When Is Spring Practice Scheduled?

[Volfan1000]

Anybody hear any potential dates?

 

[VFL-82-JP]

I looked for a calendar the other day, couldn't find one. Academic calendar, but nothing with spring football schedule.

 

[OL SMOKEY]

Not sure if the start date, but I sure hope we have a full coaching staff in place by then.

 

[VolBricks]

we don't have enough players to fill out the 22 man roster to have practice.

No problem. Looks like we may not have enough coaches to coach them anyway.

They better have a full spring this year. There is no reason not to at this point. Of course we deal with COVId but with what's been learned it should go ahead as planned with a full schedule.

I suspect it will be as late as the academic calendar will allow. I know there's a slight sliver of hope that there could be on-campus visitors for the spring game.

 

[GameTime]

They said they were not sure when they would have spring ball....This was on the radio.

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

I think they are just going to play Madden to get some reps.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Should be mid-March, I say May 5th.

Hate to say it brother but unless something like the super bowl strategy is used there will be none. I'm afraid this pandemic **** is not going away anytime soon. Very likely it stretches into next fall and beyond.

 

[greenbacknative]

only have 20 players and no defensive coaches.

On PlayStation or some other format? That is important.

As slow as the vaccines are coming in, I feel it is being stretched for all it is worth.

Eggzactly, mental reps

Mods suck

Per Jimmy Hyams Source:“You don't have to get a physical rep to get a rep. You can get a leadership rep.” So 2021 should be another covid year while the big money boosters take remedial algebra to determine how much $X McDonald’s bag input is needed to equal 4 wins.

 

[BlinghamptonVol]

They’re gonna have the schedule in place on Monday and announce it Wednesday during the basketball game.

Good thing the groundhog saw his shadow and bought us six more weeks.

Well UT is preparing for a regular fall campus experience. Once everyone has been offered vaccines, we need to accept the (exceedingly low) risk and move on. At this point, we'll be managing small pockets of spread (maybe forever), but as long as the main vaccines are at least 70% effective, we'll be ok to live life normally.

And leadership reps.

I agree the risk is low but the media, government, lawyers, fear mongers and karens of the world will still be scaring the crap out of people. The WSJ just had an article claiming COVId and its mitigation's were here to stay quoting all kinds of authoritative sources. There will still be enough noise to limit attendance, maintain distancing rules and mask nonsense. Like baseball is doing. I hope I'm wrong but I'm just not seeing a full campus experience this fall.

If they had games this past fall, I’d say the SEC will allow spring practice. I could see practices being closed and no spring game but for players to get reps, it’ll be huge.

NO reason not to.
