LETS GO COACH!!!! 

 

Side note: Don’t mean to be negative about our lovely stadium but....The Wing just isn’t good.  Such wasted space and noise.  Wall that thing up and make it loud and imposing PLEASE.  Dollars have plenty of more priorities by now though.

Not a fan of the Wing myself, but Apogee accoustics are fine.  Remember in the stadium’s debut game when UH Coach Kevin Sumlin had to take 2 “too noisy” timeouts?  He even commented about it in the papers as I recall.

So what would you like there? I think it's fine and when it's full, it looks amazing. If we ever get into a bigger and better conference, then the Wing might go.

The side note is odd to me.  You think Gush has some pull on stadium design?

Yes it was odd placement and I had a long day yesterday so forgive me.  I mentioned it because of the image of Apogee in his tweet and my disdain for the Wing just bubbled up.  I had multiple conversations yesterday feeling like I was the only one with a certain position, namely about my not caring for Bill Murray while everyone else on planet earth loves him.  Based on the unpopularity of my post on the Wing I'm adding that particular issue to my pile of isolated opinions as well.

The lower part of the Wing is fully functional end zone seating.

The upper area is just 'overflow seating', kind of like the Wrigley Rooftops or the mountain behind the Sun Bowl.

Unused seats at the upper half of the Wing should never be used as an excuse to not add additional functional seating on the student side of the stadium.

I agree, but good luck changing that vernacular.

I am still not sold on it being "a wing."  Always look like a tail to me.

Great point...if they worked in Shake Ya Tailfeather for fans in that part of the stadium to dance in between quarters I'll bet the name might change.

Not really.  An Eagle's tail is rounded:

Whereas:
Viva la Wingzone!!

I've always thought of it as a tail. You don't find wings at the end of an eagle, likewise you shouldn't call ENDzone seating a wingzone.

My brain just can't equate those MASSIVE wings, with their proportion to the body and one on each side of the body, into the idea that our small single endzone seating are both wings.  That makes the entire facility one weird looking eagle.

It will always be a tail to me lol

It's OK.  We're not a stickler for exactness.  We changed the talon sign from three fingers forward to two fingers.  So far, I haven't seen an eagle with only two front talons.

You're so right.  This is all consistent with an eagle CAW-ing, rather than screeching.

It's all making sense now.  Or rather, perfectly non-sense.

      A 6'6 guard is something NT isnt really accustomed to. We had a bunch of shorties making it rain before this. So this is pretty refreshing. Not hating on the guards of the past, but ya know what I mean lol.

      Naming rights for NIL $?

      I noticed online that UTSA was offering naming rights for donations and it seemed like a good idea. Are we doing anything similar or have we tried this in the past? Be Bold Today SAN ANTONIO – Leave your mark – and your name – on the future of UTSA Athletics by making a gift that will be integral to the continued rise of the program for future generations of student-athletes. UTSA Athletics recently announced that it is investing $57 million in facilities and capital projects thanks to incredible institutional support. Over the next five years, this emphasis will allow UTSA to focus on the construction of a basketball and volleyball training facility, player development centers for both baseball and softball, a nutrition performance center for all student-athletes and a covered football pavilion. While this investment provides a remarkable foundation for the groundbreaking of these much-needed facilities projects, philanthropic support will play a key role in driving these state-of-the-art facilities toward completion. In 2021, UTSA Athletics launched the Bold Champions campaign to increase support for the Roadrunner Athletic Fund, and to enhance and expand athletics facilities, which will ensure that all 17 intercollegiate sports programs remain competitive. We are grateful to the generous donors who have contributed to the Bold Champions campaign to date. To further drive the campaign, UTSA Athletics is pleased to announce that there are additional naming opportunities available in all sports and at all gift levels. These public acknowledgements serve as an inspiration to others in our community and highlight the impact of the athletics program on the entire UTSA and San Antonio communities. Naming opportunities are a great way to honor family members and make your family name a lasting part of the UTSA Athletics legacy. Leadership gifts begin at $25,000 and can be pledged over five years. If you are interested in supporting the Bold Champions campaign, please fill out an information request form to discuss with a member of the UTSA Athletics Development team. Your support of Roadrunner Athletics is essential to our future success.

      Massie is roughly the same frame as Cotton and the incoming Mason. I hope this doesn't further stall their development. Time to figure out what we have in our own recruits
