Awesome. This should leave plenty of time for golf and general debauchery and mayhem afterwards.

Man, that's not that far away. Really getting excited for this next season!

What I really am looking forward to seeing in spring and fall:
AT with more time as a full time HB or WR
Corey Partridge at 100%
An entire returning phenominal WR corps
An improved LB corps
New OLineman
Tyler Sheehan's improvement after a full year of starting
Andrew Beam, Nate Brown, Bart Tanski, and Aaron Pankratz in action

Any additions to this list?

Also very much looking forward to a "healthy" stable of running backs. Bullock, Ransom, Geter, et al should put up some very "healthy" #'s this year if line gels and we can all stay "healthy". And yes....that is the only thing that will stop this team from finally realizing the MAC championship under Coach B!

What time do we get started Freak?

32 days, 23 hours and 38 minutes til spring game kickoff.

That means we get started in 32 days, 20 hours and 38 minutes tailgating.

GO FOOTBALL

I'm just as excited for the warmer weather as I am for the game!

Only one month away! WOOHOO!

Probably going to have to start getting some concrete plans together. I'll get a list of courses put together. Maybe we should just do a poll on here to determine which course?

I could even call around and see if I can get us any group rates. Sounded like we had 10-15 people that said they'd be interested in the other thread. I'll see what I can do...problem is a lot of the courses may not be open just yet to get ahold of anyone at them.

Can't wait! Next season is definitely going to be one to remember! Hell, I may even try to get enough money together to buy a bigger grill for tailgating with my friends.

I'm sure I'll see all of you at the Spring Game!

Always remember that our grills are your grills, as well

So my dad is a really good craftsman and is really cool, so one of my Christmas gifts was a custom made iron stand for my Weber grill. So ... I think 32 days from now is a really good time to try it out!

Will they be present and playing? are they "grey-shirting" or whatever when they leave high school a semester early and practice with the club?

"Grayshirting" is when they are under implied commitment to the school for a year, but are not under scholarship and pay their own tuition, etc.

The ones that are with the team already have graduated high school and enrolled (I believe?) and are "officially" BG students.

are any of these players officially with the school?

going by name searches at bgsu.edu, Pankratz looks like he is, Brown may be. (There was no "Nate Brown", but a "Nathaniel Brown" was listed.) The other two returned no results.
