Between the cancellation of spring games and the looming presence of Transferpalooza II, aka the spring transfer portal window, on the horizon, it's clear that spring football -- plus the storylines it used to produce -- just isn't what it used to be. (That's doubly true with the NCAA turning down the prospect of intersquad spring scrimmages.) And with each passing year, it feels like college coaches only become more secretive about position battles and whatnot, meaning we don't see quite the same plot development from key storylines.
But spring football, such as it exists, remains an opportunity to talk about the season ahead.
