I thinks it's obvious that other than a few notable exceptions, spring games have become dull and unnecessary. Maybe it's always been this way and I've just gotten older. I used to enjoy going to them as a kid. They were always on or right around my birthday. shite it's on my birthday this year. Do I have any plans to attend? No.

I just don't see what I'm supposed to get out of it.

Haven't been to one in over 10 years. Just not for me.

Spring games are mostly for the players to just have an fun day after spring practice I don't see why they would get rid of them

I like them just as a bit of a football holdover. In just about every other sport there's some type of televised preseason event, so I don't see how they're a problem or anything.

In your case, I agree.

I wish they would let schools have a scrimmage with another team but then everyone would have to do the same spring schedules.

I'd like to see a situation where schools partner with nearby non-rivals to host a home-and-home scrimmage every spring. I think there was an idea floated at one time that USC and GT could work something out where a scrimmage with all the contact restrictions of the spring game could be held in ATL in even years, and Cola in odd years. I think that would create some more excitement for them.
