i get the merit of having a spring game. i definitely understand it. I just think that it's not necessary. i agree, it could happen at anytime, however; you increase the chances of freak accidents happen when you play these "skirmish" games. Obviously no one would want this to happen to anyone, but if it has to happen i'd much rather it happen in an actual game where his injury wouldn't be in vain. just my 0.02
