I was able to attend the PLF luncheon. Random comments.
Rather than having the weekly press conference at WRJ, and then have the luncheon, they essentially combined the two. Each of the fall coaches had an opening statement and then answered questions from KTRE. After he was done, it was open to anyone to ask questions.
Nothing really new from soccer, volleyball, or cross country. CC coach did say the guys were up to about 80-90 miles a week.
Carthel was not there. He and Sarah were in the delivery room. Power and Storm were there in his place. They certainly are not the dynamic speaker that Carthel is. Relative to the Tarleton game, Self will be great, but he has to keep his feet on the ground. He gets happy feet. Ward had a breakout game at RB. Defensively, the explosive plays must be eliminated. Power said it was all correctable. Inexperience is a big reason for kids not properly adjusting, being out of position, etc.
They are still breaking down SUU film. They have identified about 100 formations. Lots of motion offense. That could be a challenge for our inexperienced guys.
That is all from memory. Let me know if you have a question.
I think this may affect attendance at games, IMHO. I will def have to factor that in with my giving & season ticket costs. Wish we knew how much parking is going to be. I have handicap parking so mine might be more bc it is in the higher level but just speculating.
