I really really hope the Athletic Dept is ready for the likely attendance boost for the ISU game due to the “Mega Reunion” going on that weekend. They need to expand concessions, especially around beer sales and Apparel.  This is a chance for a very significant revenue boost, we can’t waste it.    ...

Re: 2023 Season

We have to break the habit of stumbling out of the gate.  Last year, UT Martin and S Utah were both winnable games.  Makes practices in Oct much more energetic if we have a couple Dubs in the bank.
