Texas A&M Spring game

[Volumnus 2011]

Manziel so far is completely unstoppable against 2nd string defense. Offense (Maroon) leads the defense (white) 26-7.

Edit: ^^ in 2nd quarter

Is it true he played with one arm tied behind his back?

I heard it was both arms

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Watched beginning of it. Their second team defense was strong. Really strong. Those two transfer backs will help them. Two new O-line starters will hurt them. Still a top level team overall.

Watched this bc I was bored ^

We counted after the first quarter.

They said Johnny Manzal 403 times

Just a fun fact.

What was the attendance?

a little over 45,000

Thats less than Kentucky, according to one of the Ky posters in their spring game thread. Not that thats a bad thing, thats probably more than we'll have

Only reason so many UK fans showed up, is because they knew they were going to win.

I chuckled

 

[ToddyHill]

Couple of things...

I think the attendance would have been higher had ESPN not televised the game. That said, I was surprised that many attended.

The record they broke was Dennis Franchione's first spring game, when Aggies everywhere (including myself), thought we'd finally found our coach. hmy:

lol.

I heard that the UofL spring game was yesterday. How was the turnout?

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I know Vandy had theirs yesterday, and I saw the highlights on the local news. There had to be no more than 15,000 there, as the shots I saw one entire side of the stadium was empty, as was most of the endzone.

I saw these figures posted elsewhere for other spring game attendance, don't shoot me if they're incorrect.

attendance figures so far:
Kentucky: 50,831
Texas A&M: 45,212
Georgia: 45,113
South Carolina: 30,000+
Mississippi: 28,000
Florida: <15,000
Vanderbilt: 14,000
April 20th games: Tennessee, Missouri, Alabama, Auburn, Arkansas, LSU, Miss State

45K is a great turnout for practice, no matter how you slice it.

We talkin' 'bout PRACTICE!

That's really surprising that Florida's game had that few show up, though didn't they barely have enough for a game?

I thought I heard it was more of a glorified practice than a scrimmage. That would make sense as to why their numbers are so low.

Only 15,000 show up in gaynessville..... I reckon Muschamps crazy stare ran them off lol.

It was more Lousville fans at the sugar bowl than it was Florida fans.

3* on Rivals...will never amount to anything. ;-)

I don't take much pride in hating James Franklin but it made my heart glow when I saw the attendance figure at his spring game. He was all over the radio (midday 180 interview is a must listen if you haven't yet) and after all the press, player access, secondary events and other incentives he couldn't even draw 15k says a lot about that program.

Obligatory....Its Vandy......

I remember last year early in college fantasy football picking this guy named Manziel, whom nobody had picked. Needless to say he was soon a really valuable player. Can't wait to see him and the Aggies this year.
