UAZipster0305 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Thanks to Hilltopper for providing myself and parents with tickets to today's game. Was in from out of town and wanted to see the Info as much as anything. I was really impressed with it and the changes on campus.A few random notes:The band is awesome!Nicely and Wagner are very impressive.Nicely has room to learn (e.g. sliding on the run on third and long that resulted in a fumble and the first interception). This will come with time and (hopefully) good coaching.The play calling on offense is extremely simple and predictable as pointed out by my mother.If the 3-3-5 only slows EMU down, it will never be good enough to win the MAC.Saw Coach Porter with his wife and infant. Very impressed by the overall support among the Athletic Department especially considering the opposite ends of the spectrum. Very classy on Coach Porter's part. I hope he stays after this season.JD can go. While a hardworking gentleman, the facilities investment requires that the team win and fill the stadium. Today's attendance was the only proof necessary that JD has not earned the right to return. It is time for a change, and I wish him the best.I think an Annual Black Friday game could be well attended if both teams were competitive.The MEN's restroom was crowded at halftime in spite of the <2,000 fans. Was this a problem earlier in the season with the large crowds?Good to see that Can't lost today. Can't wait until Sunday for the soccer game against Stanford!

ctmjbowes@sbcglobal.net Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 It's a new era with the Info, one that JD almost ruined, but there's a new staff and scheme to look forward to for next year. I'm glad you mentioned the band because in the last three games I thought the band was pretty much the only big-time positive-energy generator in the stadium. To any bandsters who read these boards, great job this year. You guys have been great. I was especially impressed today as the pathetic cheerleaders were bundled from head to toe and did basically nothing out there while the band rocked, including the baton twirler, who was wearing her normal glitter outfit in the cold wind. Good for her, good for us, thanks to the band for all you did this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fear the brown roo Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 i commented to friends at the game how boring games at the info would be without the band. they do a helluva job and don't get nearly the credit they deserve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bUAkronG Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 The MEN's restroom was crowded at halftime in spite of the <2,000 fans. Was this a problem earlier in the season with the large crowds?no, the only reason so many men were in there was not so they could relieve themselves. Instead, they were in there to thaw out!

fear the brown roo Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 i'm guessing that like the concession stands, not all men's rooms were open. they expected the tiny crowd and figured they shouldn't open everything up like they do for the big crowds. so much for the idea of sending us all 4 tickets 3 days ago to pass out to friends and family.
