Any buzz on campus?

For those of you on campus, how was the announcement received?

My guess is "Uh, who? Time to go back to studying for finals."

it was held in a small area and it was full, about half students and half mean green members.  I wish it was louder and longer but the new coach did not say much at all.  I prefer a doer rather a talker

This isn't an indictment on Littrell, it's just the culture until something changes. They likely wouldn't know who it was unless it was Nick Saban or someone like that. The average student during my time there knew A) we have a football team b) they have a coach c) they suck most of the time. Just the reality of the situation. It has gotten better but I fear support will wane if we don't have a quick turn around.

I went to the meet and greet. Decent showing. Scrappy, band, cheerleaders, RV, and police marched Littrell in to a standing ovation. They have rolled the red carpet out for him, that's for sure. RV gave his 2 cents of the hire before introducing him. RV said the same things as in the presser as did Litrrell. Litrell is not a talker.  He says what he thinks he needs to and moves on. RV's cheer squad was on hand in full force. 

Other than that, campus was dead. Finals.

I'll echo what Ben said, but there was a decent line to meet Coach Littrell. He was talking and laughing with a lot of us, so I thought that was pretty cool. He has to be exhausted, though. But man, he is a super approachable guy. I'd love to run into him at a local watering hole and just sit and have a drink with the dude. I could hear him talk X's and O's all day and have a blast.

Don't ask Ric Renner.  That douchebag would find the quietest spot on campus to do his report and sprinkle in questions with stoned dolts on Fry St.
