ksu sucks Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I just happened to notice that there was a soccer game the Friday before classes start against South Florida. Considering that Friday is the day most kids move into their dorms, what better way could there be to kick of the '09 fall semester? I'm sure it would give the new freshman a cool experience to remember. Not to mention, the games at 7:30, so most kids will be moved in already anyhow.I hope the AK-Rowdies can get the information out through zipmail or something. I don't know when they hold the AK-Rowdies sign ups, but if it's after that Friday, they should definetly send out a University wide email letting kids know about the game. IMO, it would be a huge mistake for them to pass up on such an opportunity, and I hope their new leadership is already planning something. Does anyone have any other ideas as to how they could get the word out before Friday, the 21st? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 A Facebook event would probably be the way to do it. The AK-Rowdies set up a new FB group each year, and it seems to be the main way of communicating, along with emails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as South Florida goes, they are another of the rising powers in collegiate soccer. But, I believe that we shall win. Memorize that line, freshmen, and repeat it on Friday, August 21st starting at 1930 hrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of them may want to go but won't know about it until the last minute. I'm sure they could find out by word of mouth, but if the AK Rowdies really want to get serious(as they said they have) and if they want to capitalize on the growth in students, then some other sort of organized message would do that. As I said, send out university wide email messages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZippyRulz Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 As far as South Florida goes, they are another of the rising powers in collegiate soccer.Yes they are. A couple of years ago they knocked off one of the top-ranked teams in the nation in the first round of the NCAA tourney ... on the road ... in cold weather, out of their element.
