Offseason College Football Thread

[damaniac]

Okay, recruiting season is over. Spring practice is about to begin. September is so far off. I don't believe there is a general off-season thread, so let's get one going. Spring practice reports, arrests, non-qualifiers, scheduling changes, etc.

I'll start. Scheduling: Michigan has gotten Appalachian State for the opener in 2007. Somewhat disappointed (Michigan is sort of one of about 6 schools who has not scheduled a D-IAA school in its present incarnation), but OTOH they are almost certainly better than Eastern Michigan, a DIA team we are playing. Given the teams with open dates, probably just as well, as the only good opponent open was Hawaii, who we were not playing given our secondary + Colt Brennan returning + Notre Dame and Oregon in the non-conference schedule already. They're 2-time defending DIAA champion (maybe?), so they're maybe 60/70th best DIA team (help? yes/no?). Kinda bad b/c we'd get more credit by crushing Mississippi State or whatever, but such is life.

Let us gogogogo.
