Would not give much thought to Fall Ball regarding game / scrimmage outcomes. Don't get me wrong, coaches and players want to win but the fall is when coaches try to see what they have. Most freshmen will get and reserve players from previous year will get playing time. If returning starters are dinged up or recovering from injury don't expect to see much of them.

In the fall players should want to show that they worked hard in the off season. Show up in shape, pass their run test, display sharp stick skills, be strong in the weight room etc...

Fall ball is a chance for freshmen and non starters from the previous year to impress the coaching staff.

As for "who looks good????" it really does not matter, lets see who looks good in May.


Oh I see, you joyless know-it-all, the bench and the freshman don't matter for a "team". Clearly who looks good in May matters most, thanks for clearing that up, but no point in having any fun watching and speculating based on Fall Ball. In fact, no point in even playing the games I guess since nothing matters 'till May.

Thank God for a wise lax sage like you to help everyone along. Get over yourself.


Where did it say: "the bench and the freshman don't matter for a "team"." ? Where did it say: "no point in even playing the games I guess since nothing matters 'till May." ? The only point was that the outcomes of games are not indicative of what will happen in the spring. Freshmen and reserves from the prior year will get more opportunities to prove themselves than they will once the spring comes. Coaches know what they have with their returning upper-class starters and if a returning All-American is nursing an injury don't expect to see them on the field. Also, coaches do like to see that their players worked hard in the off season so showing up in-shpe, passing the run test, keeping their stick skills sharp and progressing in their lifts etc... are important.

Why so sensitive?
