Hey now! Don’t drag the band into this 😂

This scoreboard is too effing loud.

Run. The. Ball.

I can tell we are on different sides of this conversation, so no need to continue it, however I can tell you from first hand knowledge, a lot of players are looking for that kind of tradition and connection. Especially those that understand that they are not going pro.

that's a cynical view. Every away game we see loads of tradition at other schools. The way the players take the field, school chants, coordinated mascot cheers, etc. I think it seems small or insignificant but those things build a tradition and build pride.

It's bigger than the individual players, it fosters a connection with the football team, the school, the band, TRADITION... maybe if these things were addressed and a sense of tradition and connection started they'd be a few less portal transfers. Regardless of all that, you are playing for the school, the football teams are typically the face of the school, show some pride.

A small thing that bothers me, I think the team needs to go to the band with the cheerleaders for the alma matter after a game win or lose.

Blatant missed hold.

Noah Perez started in the ECU win yesterday, went 3/3 on field goals and 3/3 on XPs in a ten point win. Got the game ball too.

Zippy just beat the OU bobcat in a game of rock paper scissors. so, there’s that.

If you suffer from epilepsy do not come to a SC home game.

I don’t want to hear about how loud our speakers are anymore. I can’t talk to the person next to me.

Am I wrong that if we just ran the ball this game would be over??

There’s actually a good crowd too.

Being a MAC head coach has to be exhausting, especially if you are on the bottom trying to claw up. I think coaching in the MAC is a young man's game, it's going to turn into first time coaches that are on the same path as the players. Let me show I can handle the duties reasonably well and then make the jump to coordinator/coach at the next level as soon as I can. It has to be exhausting to think, one phone call and I'm out of here to a OC spot in the power 5. I have no idea why he's hanging here, other than maybe the chance to see his son play on Fridays in November.

Thank you for phrasing it this way...

Does anyone know when Zips Weekly starts up?

Great write up, thank you! Bennett was awarded the number 1 jersey earlier this year, it’s a cool tradition they have with the two number 1 jerseys.

tomorrow.

Agreed, we need one or two more for competition, injury protection and practice. Can't have one guy doing all the practice snaps.

people rarely factor in how difficult it is for some players to be away from home or even out of state. When lifting starts in June local guys can still make it home to see friends and family.

I also would love a MAC/Sunbelt merge but that would depend on how they classify "dead weight" lol.
