I wonder whether the fact that a new Green Brigade director hasn't been named was a factor in not getting a pep band to Las Vegas.  The Green Brigade website still names Daniel Cook as the director. 😞

Dr Cook is still around.

This is why I thought he was gone already:

I would have expected a replacement to have been chosen by now.

Not really. I went back and watched the game and even in crunch time they didn't do much.

Better than nothing though. 

I mean c'mon. They're not actors. Given the scenario, it wasn't bad. Imagine being told to throw on a red shirt and walk into a UNLV game and play and cheer for UNLV.

Yeah it was fine. They played well enough. Like I wrote on the post, however, the vibes are off. They don't care! I don't expect them to, but it is evident once you look. 

 

Now, It isn't a big deal and I'm sure there were other considerations. I think they used some budget to stay at the Vdara -- and give the guys a first class trip. If that means skimping on the band a little? Well, I don't hate the choice they made. Mostly I just wonder if they had put out a donation link to quickly get the trip funded if the greater GMG presence would have made it happen.

Yes, mgn would've forked up. And it's not skimping. It's neglecting altogether.

He will not take his new position until the end if the semester.
