appears that way. In our time block, ABC conflicts with the other game, ESPN has men’s basketball, ESPNU has women’s basketball, and ESPN2 has women’s volleyball regional. So we are on ESPN+, unless something gets bumped or time changed.

The production quality was so much better than what we have seen before. Even if we can’t afford to rent cameras of that quality on the regular, hopefully we saved the number for some of those operators.

5pm ET / 2pm PT :wink:

Ok, if anyone from athletics marketing reads this, going to need push harder potentially for Illinois State since most students will be home—

• have the chancellor extend the winter break dorm closure date to Sunday.
• review admission data to see which students came to the most games, then cross reference with their zip codes. If there are clusters within 90 minutes, organize charters and then call them.
• setup a group code for Amtrak. Maybe even pick a train to designate as the Aggie Pride Train. They used to do this for Pajamarino.
• going to need a townie turnout. 2pm is a perfect time, organize a community bike parade from the Farmers Market and promote this week in the elementary schools.
• make nice with the Alumni Band and have them rally the Farmers Market all morning and help out at the game if the kiddie band is thin.
• get the “football this Saturday” message into all the Unitrans electronic signs. They used to do this like 20 years ago.

We have approximately 1 in 62 chance of hosting Illinois State two weekends from now.

There is still a chance. :smile:

This one aged into a fine wine. Cheers, sir.

does Quahog (Family Guy) count?

I think Orr is just Wood’s elf (Hornet?) on a shelf. Doesn’t do much other than get moved from shelf to shelf with a plastic smile and a note pinned to his shirt.

Maybe Ron Gould would work? And then opponents would only need to learn to defend 50 yard field goal attempts.

quite frankly, both Wood brothers are a bad deal for all taxpayers, whether you care about Sac State athletics or not.

The challenge with Dr. Wood is that he has not been hired or retained based on academic merit or administrative performance. He was hired for other reasons, and those other reasons become very litigious when it comes time to plunge the toilet that has overfloweth with crap.

I’d assume that people have been cracking Barnum and Bailey jokes his whole life such that he might avoid clown shows, which this most certainly is.

I just drove by one of those Florida high schools today lol. West Orange HS is the old money school in town where they recruit and register kids under fake addresses. Evans HS is in the part of Orlando you wouldn’t even want to visit during the day. Different, but both fit Sac.

don’t tease me with the bonfire! That used to be so much fun. Pies might be hard to schedule the labor at this point. Pizza and cookies are achievable though. For hot beverages the catering department has these industrial brewers that take liquid coffee or chocolate concentrate and can fill about 5 gallons per minute. That was my campus job back in the day, sometimes getting a couple hundred gallons of (not great) coffee cranking in the morning.

one time, we had a bust for an employee appreciation event so we ran to Costco for pizza, churros, and water for 500. They loaded on pallets and forked it into the truck without blinking lol.

if someone ordered 460 pizzas, that is mad rewards points, they’d be eating free themselves for a year lol. Given the cold temps, if they aren’t concerned about concession revenue they could offer free hot chocolate, hot coffee, and DC late nite cookies. Those are all cheap and easy to execute in bulk quantity in the time available.

is this what “…or bust” looks like in the Dr Wood reach-around? Maybe they can secure Jergens and Kleenex as sponsors.

agreed, it shouldn’t be hard to have a functional YouTube press conference. Disappointing to hear stadium audio is still an issue. It’s been pushing 20 years and still not solved?

I looked up the communications team. Most of the team are new within the last year or two. Looking up state pay, idk if the pay is competitive with other universities but it is not competitive with corporate internal/external communications. May be hard to retain talent and no in-house pool to tap since we don’t offer sports admin, marketing, or journalism majors.

maybe someone can spill some peppermint schnapps into the hot chocolate. Festive and warms the soul. It helped in the infamous Eastern Washington fog game.

dude who created pom

I mistakenly read that with an “rn” in it, but I guess POM is a pomegranate juice company?

if we want a dating analogy—it’s like telling your main girl, who might be average looking but sweet and a good cook, that it’s exclusive while Uncle Wingman from down the block is still running your Tinder profile trying to find you some SEC motorboat side action, and then falling for it when the stripper says she loves you.

If someone enters the portal but doesn’t end up transferring, does it cause weird feelings with teammates about commitment or is everyone all in on business is just business?

I wasn’t suggesting anyone specific on our team. More thinking the broader football market.
