Why this petition matters

Started by Rob Totten

Mitch and Company,

Greetings and Salutations!

Please consider having some sort of televised Kentucky Football Spring Game.  
 
The fans are eager to see some actual football.  The logistics of staging a scrimmage without fans should be much less complex than a regular spring game which some of our peers are having.
 
There will be no need for parking, ushers, security, or concessions.
 
There would be no additional social distancing risk, as players and staff would already be in contact during regular non-televised practices.
 
There is no need for an extravagant ESPN style production.   Multiple camera angles are already set up as practices are recorded for review in the film room.
 
It shouldn't be difficult to find three commentators who are chomping at the bit to work on something like this.
 
As the Kroge will be understandably and appropriately occupied with Covid vaccinations, the event can be staged at a practice field.  Or a local high school.  Or a field on a horse farm.  Or someone's back yard.  Or a hermetically sealed bomb shelter.
 
This would bring some normalcy to this roller coaster of a hot twisted dysfunctional vortex of bumbling confusing chaos that the sports world - and the country at large - has been this past year.
 
This would be a great opportunity for the inaugural John Schlarman Memorial Spring Game.  It would  honor the great man and late coach who gave so much to the program.

The players would have a chance to showcase their talents and have some exposure.  The fans will have a better idea of who our guys are, and a chance to discover new personalities on the roster. 

It's also a fantastic opportunity to show appreciation to these fans who have stuck with it through the past tumultuous covid year, and are eager to get back to a regular routine.

Lead the way back to that path!

While there would be new considerations in light of the tragic pandemic affecting us all, this is possible.  We're a week away from 68 teams converging in Indianapolis for a mega sporting event.

If the frequently organizationally challenged NCAA can stage a televised sporting event - Why Not Us?

In the words of an all time, great...

COME SEE ABOUT IT!

Fanatical Regards,

BBN
