Well looks like we had media day......

But not much from it as of now. Maybe they will post some clips from the interviews?

Per WR Coach Dyrell Roberts, we had a scrimmage yesterday. Unlike other Valley schools with pictures and videos on their websites and Twitter, we have nothing. At the end of the day it doesn't effect our team and guess that's what really matters, but seriously would like something as a fan. Sucks that Scott Holland was on vacation last week as that would be our only chance to see any info. Still not sure how much they'd even allow him to discuss players.

Maybe somethings coming, but probably not. OL coach Patterson did share a photo his wife took, so we do have some evidence our team is in fact real, but could be a DEEP FAKE!!!!

I totally agree with you letsgonecks, but its not going to change until we finish the hiring process for a media AD. Lots you can do to market the Necks in the future. jc

Good point, anyone know an update on the hiring process for that and marketing?

We are down a Communications/Media Director, a marketing director and now a foundations director. Michael Jones is moving on the Edward Jones effective at the end of this week.

Good thing we don’t have a game this week 😳

Good to see the Jet Sweep is still in the playbook just in case we have no North-South game. ;)
Embrace the pace of the race.
