Has the athletic department ever thought of having a running competition for fraternities/sororities, and other organizations on campus. The more they show up to all home games, the more “points” they get and at the end of the season the school rewards the winners? Idk what that reward would be, but something to get butts in the seats of football and basketball games. Maybe a banquet at Chicks or one of the local restaurants at the end of the season.
On the coaching search, I realize we are spring board for most coaches and I’m okay with that. I just hope that whomever it is instills our winning ethos back so whomever is next has a program to run with.

Jack T hanging out there with his buddies one day.sealhall74 wrote: Mon Nov 22, 2021 1:40 pm Here is another thing I saw missing this year. For some reason, the whole north end of Hanson Field was blocked off for pedestrian traffic except for players, cheerleaders, band, etc. Someone tell me what the logic there is. You go in the northwest entrance and have to walk all the way down around the south end and then walk back north to get to your seat on the east side. North end endzone was a great place to watch the game IMHO. Used to have some portable bleachers there. Close to concession stand. I even saw Jack T hanging out there with his buddies one day.
Jack had buddies?

I heard from a reputable source that there has been lots of interest in our football coach opening! ;)jc
Good. Hopefully we can get someone who will get us back to traditional, smash-mouth, Leatherneck football. The Gateway years were good.Neckfansince71 wrote: Wed Nov 24, 2021 4:15 pm I heard from a reputable source that there has been lots of interest in our football coach opening! ;)jc
I haven’t heard officially if there is an interim. I have heard that the Asst Coaches are still on Campus.meganeck wrote: Mon Nov 29, 2021 10:29 am I'm sorry if I missed this, but did they name an interim coach. Most schools do that to have somebody "in charge" of the program while they are looking for a new coach.
I heard that they had set themselves a deadline of the 2nd week of December to have a Coach in place. Now that regular seasons are over, things will likely pick up. Whether or not we hear anything is a different story. Totally agree about recruiting, but also recruiting our own players to stay. There is still talent on the team that we'd like to keep.rocki wrote: Mon Nov 29, 2021 11:13 am Any "under the radar" scuttlebutt? I realize we want the highest quality we can get, yet we need to think about recruiting.
100% I haven’t seen any big names enter the portal yet but if it takes too long that may become their way out of uncertainty.GV Dad wrote:I heard that they had set themselves a deadline of the 2nd week of December to have a Coach in place.
