Came down to Lincoln or no game. Others said no, or backed out.SFA Jack Fanatic said:
That Lincoln game next week could be double ugly. I wonder how that matchup came about. A brand spankin' new FB program playing us?

Everyone in red was from Diboll from what it sounded like. Not sure how many MVSU fans were actually there.
Our "student section" is awful and an embarrassment.

A complete disaster. The new student section. The Axeperience isn't much.
A ton of guys saw the field last night. The coaches must use a super computer to keep up with everyone.SFAXE93 said:
After 3.
Again with multiple jersey numbers that are the same number, some stats might be off.
Indeed! Also, the redshirt rule that someone can play up to four games without using this as a year of eligibility. This game, plus Lincoln, are great opportunities to get some young guys experience without costing them a year. Must be a heck of a spreadsheet.SFA Jack Fanatic said:A ton of guys saw the field last night. The coaches must use a super computer to keep up with everyone.SFAXE93 said:

I don't have an answer but what they are doing now isn't it. I think there were more alumni in the pods than students in the student section.

To me, it's a little bit of "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink".
I get wanting to sit in the endzone and not the roasting hot sun. Unless we plant some pine trees on the back sides of the hills, that's not going to change for the time being. And we should look for solutions instead of asking kids to fight against nature for 2 hours til it cools down.
But let's take a look at what we do have:
- Students in the south endzone could be a cool tradition. Let's get some tents up, maybe a food truck(the school owns a food truck if I'm not mistaken, but also,plenty around town that could rent spots. Give them a reason to come, party, and stay for the game.
- Students/crowd staying by the ag pond. An easy solution for a partial fix is adding a gate on that side that makes it as easy as possible to enter. Another one is to figure out how to make that a part of the stadium on gameday. The folks in the suites get counted. Why not figure out a way to count the tailgaters?
If you do that, maybe you shorten the fence a little on that side, kinda like UT's Left Field crew at baseball who've built an atmosphere out of it.- General crowd noise. It's not just the students who act like they're in a library, it's everyone. So how do you fix that?
I think you've got 2 potential approaches.
1. Rope off a few rows in front for the loudest, rowdiest fans you can find, and let it spread out from there. Concentrate your noise and hope it spreads out organically.
2. Yell leaders. Don't have to take it to an overall wearing extremes that some did, but you could get 7-10 students, cheerleaders, or particularly loud community members, spread them out on the homeside, and just have them get folks up and yelling on third down, short yardage situations, and field goal attempts. Just to get people on their feet and loud. Remember, we've got to re-teach folks how to do this.
Just a couple options. This isn't something we can build in a day, but we do have to build it.
I agree, and Ivey does want ideas and input. He won't say it, because that is the way he is, but they are grossly understaffed now due largely to the budget issues. The ability to resource implementing ideas and initiatives is tough. In addition to those that recently left, Kara Carpenter, the Associate Athletic Director for Compliance is gone after September 30. She is moving to be closer to family. She is a very significant loss to SFA.Jacks4460 said:
Texan you are a great thinker... I love your ideas... Keep them flowing to Ryan he is listening... Thanks for all your input it is appreciated..
I counted 77 on the participation list. Expect that, or more if they are suited up, this week.SFA Jack Fanatic said:A ton of guys saw the field last night. The coaches must use a super computer to keep up with everyone.SFAXE93 said:

With Lincoln University CA. not being a member of the NAIA or the NCAA, I assume this game will not count on the SFA overall record, nor any stats that are collected during the game.
