Dio's Spring Game Review

[tante]

is it just me or did prich seem to be moving awfully well for someone with a severe acl injury?

Amazing news. This means the swelling is gone. Limping is caused by the swelling since you cant get full extension. Hopefully he is a fast healer

[Unleash Hell]

thanks dio, rep for the report. Where was the tailgate? We stopped by the usual spot and nobody was there!

And yes I did manage to see PRich dancing to the jumbotron music on the sideline. Interesting

Sorry we missed you. There was a whole tailgate thread. We were on the east side of 436 near the parking garage.

On the field analysis.
Special teams: One kickoff. No return. No punts. No Will Oliver. Justin Castor kicked 4 for 6. Zack Grossnickle was holding. The defense didn't try to block. The return position was not a focus whatsoever.

I do not come out of retirement lightly. Four punts total, two each O'Neill and Grossnickle. Wilhelm did not punt.

There was nothing going on when we arrived at the stadium around 4pm. Nothing setup for kids, no garage sale (was that being held somewhere else???)

They plan to do the swag sale every other year, per BuffClub. I agree, the bar was set last year for spring game. My kids were so excited to go to play on the inflatables, etc. Btw, those were my kids playing in the long jump sand pit and running the Balch indoor track. Only reason they wanted to stick around till end of game was to meet players and get more autographs; so yes, frustrated that they didn't allow anyone on the field or encourage players to stick around.

I was really disappointed because I got stuck up at work and couldn't get up to the game. I did, however, buy the game on BuffsTV and was able to watch it. I would have left work, or anything else if they had had the garage sale, but yeah, it is every other year. =/ I was thinking that the O-line looked a lot better though, and Ford was awesome to watch =)
One thing though, I"m not sold on Wood. Any one else? I think Hirchman still has a legit shot to take this. I think Wood looked good, but from what i've seen from Nick, he has better arm strength.

Ahhh - thanks for the info on the garage sale. Do you have mostly girls? I think I ran into them walking across the track a few times

The most important event from dio's spring game experience is the "Tofu Dog Intrigue". Did Mrs. Dio eventually locate her vegi dog? Did I accidentally eat the damn thing? Did one of the children pollute his/her system with it? Did sacky refuse to put the thing on his grill? Did Rugged steal it and use it as a prop to entice the incoming freshman coeds?

This was hilarious. My wife the vegetarian eats these terrible things called 'Soy Dogs'. Sacky put the Soy Dog on the grill with the other food. No issues. My wife takes one of my nieces to the bathroom. When she returns, she is ready for her Soy Dog. I ask Sacky if he took it off the grill. He says he did, and we look at the table. Sure enough, it is gone, alone with all the other hot dogs. We look around. No one fesses up to eating it. More likely, no one KNEW they ate it. I figure that must have been the greatest advertisement for soy dogs.

My wife had to walk across to Silvermine to find her lunch. Thanks guys!

Holy ****!!! Thats what i ate? It was me. The soy dog was awful. I had no idea it was some special deal and missed the whole fess up discussion apparently. I think I was playing with the dog.

Tell your wife I'm sorry dio

[dio]

It was fine, she probably preferred Silvermine anyway

[sackman]

Heh - Snow ate the soy dog.

heh.
