Should be a fun game. Let's just hope for no injuries. Man, I can't wait for fall.

I doubt there will be many injuries to key players. I think this will be the JV blue and white game. The game will be young guys and no hits on the QB...but man, it will be nice to see some football.

According to the news last night, Bronco said he thot that they had pretty much seen and done every thing they needed to do for the spring. So to preserve the health of the team, almost all starters or even regulars (I think that is how they said it) were not going to be participating. Last year I saw a few names prominently in the BW game that I hardly ever saw during the season like Tervort. I sat behind his family at the game and they told me quite a bit about him, but I never hardly even saw anything of him the rest of the season.

As much as I love football, it won't be quite the same with all subs running the show for the whole scrimmage.

This is certainly speculation, but with the Athletic pubs department asking Cruiser to stop posting at Cougar Legion and the starters not expected to play much at the B&W game, it seems like Bronco's trying to keep information about his team very much under wraps. Having made his intentions and expectations for the BCS very clear, he knows that he's marked his team as a target for everyone they play and handing opponents less information would be a sound strategy. Injury concerns, while valid, are also a great cover for keeping tape from getting to other teams.

Gives me some hope that just maybe we might see some new plays, not to mention significant progress among key players.

Is the promotional football poster the new one for 2008 (Like 2007's Cougars Reloaded: Raise the Bar)?

It's actually a bunch of smaller posters. Some of them highlight one player, another has people doing the haka, one with a picture of the field, another has the team running out at the beginning of the game.

Who's all going to the game (that hasn't left yet)?

I actually don't mind that none of the big names will play, because I'm excited to see players like G Pittman and JJ DiLuigi. Anyone know if Vic So'oto is playing?

Will anyone be posting updates of the game?
