Spring Is Almost Here

In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind may moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone

I’ve had that stuck in my head for two weeks, because we are in the dark, dark days with absolutely no football. For Vol fans, it looks bleaker still: our developed talent cupboard is barer than Mother Hubbard’s, we have our second untried coach in as many years, and our schedule is brutal.

Yet hold on, football fans. We are just a month away from our first Spring Game; LSU starts practicing at the end of this week, and kicks off the (I presume) Purple and Gold game on March 27th. Things really heat up on the 10th and 17th, with Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Vandy, then Bama Mississippi State, Ole Miss, and UT, playing respectively. We wrap up with Arkansas and Kentucky on the 24th. That’s practically a month of Saturdays just around the corner.

We can last ‘til then, yes?
