The Athletic Department now says it will not be a real scrimmage, but a spring football "exhibition," (my word), will take place on April 20th at 6pm.

Hard Truths
Head Coach Pete Mangurian is truly embracing the new social media technologies and he was quite prolific over the holiday weekend with his Twitter feed.
One Tweet obviously stood out for its candor:
"Hope everyone enjoyed their Easter. Week 3 of spring practice coming up, improving, but still to many players with personal agendas."
I don't expect Mangurian to name any names of course, but this is rare straight talk from a coach, especially at the Ivy level.
And while I feel for some of the players who may see themselves as being maligned at such an early stage, I still feel grateful for the openness and raw emotion Mangurian is giving us right now.
Most long-term Lion fans are used to anything but candor from our head coaches.
We can't say we haven't been "warned!"

How do we access the tweets from Coach M? On another note, one rising senior told me that he believes the team has totally bought in to Coach M, that they have adjusted to the tough schediule, etc.
