Spring Forward: Talking Practice

Photo Gallery: Ohio State at Indiana

Urban Meyer will begin his second spring as Ohio State's head coach on Tuesday.

What are five key items and questions to keep in mind as Ohio State's spring practice kicks off Tuesday? How important is the initial depth chart of spring? We take a look.

    • When do pads first go on?

      I think their second practice after spring break (fourth practice overall).

      So far, all I know is they'll be resuming practice on Tuesday the 19th (after a 1.5-week break from practicing) and will also practice on Thursday the 21st of that week. I bet they have another practice that week as well, but they have not released the entire schedule to us yet. Heck, with as busy as they are, I wouldn't be surprised if the coaches haven't come up with the full schedule quite yet. I think they have the framework down, but some dates are still fluid.

      But to answer your question, definitely the 19th and 21st of that week, and I'll let you know when I get the full schedule if there are any other practices scheduled that week. I would bet they'll scrimmage or do something of that sort on Saturday the 23rd, but that's just a guess.

      Thanks, Dave. I think I may try to go up on the 21st during my spring break. Although, if they scrimmage on Saturday...that's probably better. Thanks again. It's exciting that there will be something to talk about for the next month! I know this is a recruiting web site...but I prefer real football to talk of high school kids. I'm around enough of those!! Haha

    • My question is--why do you root for a Kentucky baseball team?

      Hey, with all due respect to the great Bill Kurelic, we don't want to be labeled as "a recruiting web site." We're comprehensive. Team coverage, the Boarding House, recruiting, a radio show, general debauchery, etc.

    • Dave, do early enrollee's get black stripes during Spring or is that reserved for Fall Camp when the entire new class is in? If they do get them in Spring, do they have an opportunity to have their stripe removed during Spring? Or can they only be removed during Fall Camp by their "big brother?"

    • Dave you should be given credit for the humorous adaptation of Hank Williams Jr. In your opening line!

      Not to mention its accuracy. To us football addicts it is a late winter party.
