Sorry for the lack of information. We are 3 days into being honest about who we are, and deciding wether we are willing to do what is needed to change. We are leading a little more of a “spartan lifestyle” from a football perspective, 20 straight 6:00am mornings. It will get tougher now that pads are on. Character will reveal itself, there will be some surprises, there already have been. Nine more days, we will have a spring “something” depending upon how healthy we are on April 20th at 6:00pm.Right now the tough work to reshape who we are is taking place, it’s not glamorous, it’s a painful process that can’t be avoided. We are on schedule.

Mangurian Gives Brief Update
The message below just appeared on Head Coach Pete Mangurian's personal website. It seems to hint that the spring game may not be a real scrimmage, but it confirms that the event will be at 6pm on April 20th.

I am uncertain whether there are enough offensive linemen to have two full teams for April 20. Larger schools (some Big 10 and SEC)have in the past few years had a year or two where the "game" was offense vs defense. It actually was more informative as the talent was not split and the first team offense went against the first team defense and so on. One wasn't watching an all-league going against a 2 and looking like an all-american.
Quarterbacks were off limits, and in Brackett's case he could run but when "tagged" is down.
If this turns out to be the case, I am all for it as there is an opportunity to see who is on the field and what we are running on both sides. I would not be surprised however given Coach Mangurian's background and the coaches he has worked with that he may decide to show very little to this year's opponents. I think he is seeing what he wants to see in practice, and really doesn't owe we fans a game.
Whatever the "something" is, I will be at Baker at 6pm on April 20.
Is there any news at all about who is doing well, making a good impression, etc.?
