My question to you, PantherNation, is about the pre-game activities. There is a Youth Clinic before the game but in the article it doesn't list an age group. Does anybody know what that age group is?

Re: Spring ball

I'm in. 26 isn't too old, right?

There is also a fair in the Mcleod, I believe.

I like the encouragement to tailgate, the rugby game, etc.

Re: Spring ball

Is practice open to the public? In the Dome or outside?

Re: Spring ball

Practice has always been open. It depends on the day since they move it around from outside to the Dome.

Re: Spring ball

Thanks Alleycat. I've always worked bad hours, so it never mattered.

From the article:

Bill Salmon and Mario Verduzco are the co-offensive coordinators.

Is that somewhat of a demotion for Salmon?

No, its been that way for awhile now.

Its basically a way to get more money for Mario. The more labels a coach has, the more they can justify paying him.

I'm surprised Frost stuck around with the coaching change at Nebraska.

Re: Spring ball

So does anybody know the age group for the youth clinic before the game?

You can bring any aged kid, but I wouldn't bring anyone below six, seven.

Re: Spring ball

I highly suggest going to the rugby game before the football game. I know the women's rugby coach and he is a great guy and has a great team to put on the field. This past weekend the first team beat the Wisconsin Under 23 All Star team and the second team beat the Marquette first team. They are going to nationals, again, and are ranked in the top 10 in the nation.

You might not understand what is going on on the field but there is some great action.
