After the Stadium video finished playing I noticed Rick V staring daggers at the drumline and shaking his head. He looked pissed the rest of the night.

I think they should have announced that the video was playing right before it went on, because it just randomly appeared out of nowhere. A simple "Ladies and gentlemen, please turn your attention to the video board for a special presentation..." would have done the job.

As for the video itself, it looked good! I got some chills when the "camera" rushed through the stadium tunnel and unveiled the field. I'm not sure what Mean Joe had to say but I'm sure it was great (I couldn't hear anything).

When people see this video in the future it should go a long way towards making the new stadium seem more attainable.

I was standing at the same end of the field RV was, and I agree he looked upset.

Like I said. Students will see this on NTTV and 2 more home games before the vote.

I walked through the greek tents, stopped and talked to as many people as I could. Of the 40-50 students I talked to, only one really questioned the need for it and after talking to him for a few minutes he said he would vote for it. Granted, it's a population of football fans but I am very pleased with the feedback I received tonight.

I gotta admit it was sad. No one paid any attention and the stupid drumline was banging so loud no one could hear a word that Fry or Greene was saying. I call it a flop.

If you think that was bad, what till you see the tv broadcast. It was worse than our defense.....truly embarrasing.

This is great news. Not so much that you heard 40-50 students that said yes, but that you were out there campaining - good work!

I'm not too bummed about the game, but I would like to agree about the stadium video.

The following things just scream "SMALL TIME" to me:

1. The drumline playing over the extremely important stadium video

2. All the lights not working on the scoreboard for the home opener...I guess we are now the Mean Gre

3. Fireworks going off after we score a field goal

4. Cheerleaders leading stadium-wide cheers while we're on offense.

Wow.

Flyer, RV should be upset. And he only needs to look in a mirror to see who to blame. Something as big as this stadium, and it appears there has been little planning for the campaign by the athletic department. It should be a much more coordinated effort than what it is. Again, simple planning, what is going to take place (when, where, and by whom). I am for a stadium, WE MUST HAVE IT, but with this laid back group at the athletic department, IT WILL BE A TOUGH ROAD! You, Sir Flyer, have done a great job for your part.

I was like, "Is that Hayden Fry?!?!"

No one was paying attention.

This program has no excuse to not be competitive, and yet at every opportunity and every knock on the door it seems like a higher power just pisses on us. Pieces fall apart, plans don't go as expected.

And I'm emotionally detaching myself until conference and maybe longer. I'm just so exhausted. I can find every reason in the world to continue to be optimistic, and then 3 hours and a game later I'm eating my words. This is not me quitting the game; rather, I'm putting the controller down to watch someone else play.

I'll be there every step of the way with my body and money, but for now I can't be the cheerleader.

Thanks for the brat, Greek. Nice to meet you MeanMag.

Not that I really care, because I think the stadium is the wrong way to invest the money, but there was 'background' music in it that was too loud and made it impossible to tell what Hayden and Mean Joe were saying. I did go and see the model, and thanks to Flyer for that information; sure it would be great, but after I saw what happened on the field, I am sure we have more immediate concerns. We have a lot more going wrong than 'not having the best athletes'.

      Lambert? You mean that guy left his park ranger job to get back into the game? You better call Eric Morris. We are going to need his toughness on defense at LB.

      Any word on Buggs?

      This may be why he is in the portal. Maybe he was encouraged to enter the portal to open up a spot for a better player.

      You've heard of Hook 'em, Gig 'em, Wreck 'em, Sic'em, what about...

      Scrap'em is (or was) a thing. I remember in the late 90s there was some sort of Administration decision that "Scrap'em Eagles" would be our official battle cry. Probably only a few people were ever aware of it, but Talons got the memo.

      SB at Charlotte (5/3-5/24)

      It all comes down to this. The softball ladies are a game behind FAU and Charlotte for first place in the conference. The Mean Green already own the tiebreaker 2-1 with FAU, so winning two of three in Charlotte this weekend would also be huge in that it would give the ladies the tiebreaker over both teams in case there is a three-way tie at 19-8. The biggest reason to try to take two of three in Charlotte is that second and third place in the conference is the difference between having to win just two games in two days to make it to the NCAA Tournament, or four games in four days. We can't finish lower than third. Fourth place Tulsa is 3 games behind UNT, and we swept them earlier in the year. Tulsa plays at FAU this weekend. Charlotte will be a tough out. Last year by way of playing one fewer conference game due to a rainout, they finished with one loss fewer than UNT and won the regular season title. However, we took two of three at home to the 49ers before beating them again in the conference tournament. They still made it to the NCAA Tournament as an at-large. This year, Charlotte has taken 2 of 3 at USF and vs. Wichita State while sweeping the likes of UAB and Tulsa, and are on an 11-game win streak overall. Standings going into the final weekend. The conference tournament is May 8-11 in Wichita. If we make it to the final on Saturday at 11 am, be prepared to drop everything and head up to Kansas to support! SCHOOL CONF CPCT. OVERALL PCT.
