We're waitin', we're waitin', we're waitin' for the report.

Sorry, I had a flashback to my much younger days when we were anxious for the AHS Cardinals to emerge out of their locker room. ;)
Rescheduled for this afternoon. Was going to be yesterday but I was out sick. Apparently sitting around outside in 45-degree weather for 3 hours on a Saturday evening is not conducive to good health.

Maybe the Tennessee Cider had a hand in that? LOL

If anything, I think that helped stave off anything worse. That was some good stuff. I'll have to pick up a bottle...I'm pretty sure my wife would enjoy it too.

I was doing some digging and stuff and noticed that a lot of the things that we were talking about in terms of an incentive program...points for attending sporting events, rewards, etc....is currently already being done with the Purple Platoon app: https://goleathernecks.com/news/2016/6/ ... -fall.aspx

They do need to figure out a way to improve marketing/sign-ups/follow-through with the app though.

2016 is a long time ago. They should know how many students have taken advantage of it since then.

Are you a robot? That is funny. We could use a whole bunch of robots.

I still like my idea of a Rock Hanson twitter account with motivational quotes and game day info. I might have to work on that this week.

We need a really good photo of the statue and maybe the tombstone in the Macomb cemetery. If Coach Mo was in town, he could take care of the cemetery photo since it was on his daily walk route. :lol:

I wake up every day to Jay Bilas's rap tweets. Those damn things are getting old.

Thanks Rocki. As I am typing this, I am watching the statue dedication ceremony. They say Rock always wore bow ties to the games a coach. There is an obvious theme for some athletic event. Rock's Crazy Bowtie contest.
Embrace the pace of the race.
