The only thing that matters on the field are injuries. All stats, performances, and plays are irrelevant

I might just start telling people I didn't attend the spring game so I don't have to hear them ask "how'd we do" or "how did we look" or "what did you think"

You sound like a Clemson fan. Just whining like a bitch.

Spring games aren't pointless because "on the field injuries" are all that matter. Spring games are pointless because they're somehow interpreted by idiots as something other than a glorified fricking open practice.

I'm one of the bigger UGA fans I know, have lived in Athens for 8 yrs, and have never attended G Day. It's senseless.

Whether or not he wins the job Alabama's spring game will be huge for Blake Sims. I don't think spring games are pointless at all.

This is true but, disney dawgs think Alabama cares so they mimic their care in mindless bliss.

Spring games are to get your players, especially the younger players, on the field to see how they will react in a game situation. They are great teaching tools. Yes injuries happen. Injuries also happen in practice. Should we just do away with practice also?

They're pointless. I used to go to every one but stopped three years ago. It's your own offense against your own defense, so the defense knows all the plays because they go against them constantly, but they can't tackle the quarterback, which removes a large portion of the game itself. Often coaches don't even set them up as 1s vs 1s, but 1s vs 2s instead, which is even more absurd. It's like national party political conventions - senseless red meat for the hardcore fans. Spring games are like jerking off.

The players and fans enjoy them. It's almost 5 months until the start of the season, so I'm glad we get a football fix, albeit "pointless".

Since Saban "revolutionized" spring games, if you want to call it that, that could never be more false especially in Alabama. Great times if you know where to look and what to do. And like the other guys in this thread have previously said, great times with the kids.

No one takes them seriously. Its just a chance to see some football, as well as some younger guys fight for a position.
