The ironic part is we are known as a "Music School" so you would think we'd have a similar set up as either Ohio band. A band with a marching pedigree that went back decades.

It might be song selection. Baton twirling is graceful and artistic, while riffles are about precision and power. If you are playing an intense song it might not fit do baton. The skills themselves might also be different enough to let people choose which one they do, and go with that.

There have been lots of people commenting on the band and PA stepping on each other's toes. It seems like it would be good if they could work something out.

This didn't answer any of my questions.

Voluntarily stepping down to a lower level will have the same disastrous results as when we stepped down to 2A. Everyone talks about that being a huge disaster that killed everything and set us back decades, now people are wanting to repeat the same thing? We are in the AAC. Tulane, Army, Memphis, USF, Navy get national credit when they win, we just have to be a championship level team in this conference to get that same recognition. We need to put an athletic administration that can make the right hires, and raise funds to support the program. Stopping now will undo 30 years of work.

I know this isn't the most important topic, but I was curious as to what others thought. I live across the country so I can't attend games unfortunately, but from watching it on TV is it just me or has the band declined in quality in the last few years? When the camera shows them they look undisciplined/inattentive, some are just wandering around chatting. I see other bands together and ready to play as soon as a play is over. The size seems to have ballooned and now sprawls across 2 sections of the stands, and despite that they sound worse. The director also doesn't seem to know that the purpose of the band is to hype up the team/crowd, and put pressure on the opposing team on 3rd downs. Play something intimidating on 3rd down! When they do play it seems like they just have a bank of songs they go through in order without considering the situation on the field. The selection of music is bad, and it doesn't seem like they have any variety of songs to connect with the crowd, many bands will play classic and modern hits to get the crowd into things. Like I said I don't know if this is true or not since I can only judge on what I see on broadcasts, what's the in-game experience like?

Agree, I would like to see some of these guys get some meaningful minutes just to see what they have. It's hard since we don't see them in practice every day like Hodge does.

Morris has made too many egregious mistakes with game management this year for me to have any belief that he has what it takes to run a program. Poor decisions going for it on 4th and not getting a FG/punt, poor clock management, poor time out management, poor play calling on crucial downs, etc. We are playing like we are in a hail mary situation in the 1st quarter. If you don't have the basics down you aren't ready for the job.

Both the James Madison and Louisiana coaches make about 700k. We could double their salary if we wanted to poach an active head coach.

Those schools actually have expectations and accountability.

EM had a big part in that block. He changed his mind and had to rush the FG unit out. Take the time out!

Announcers mentioned C Morris had a shoulder injury against Tulane, and only felt like he was back to himself for this game. I can only guess that he is still not 100%.

I agree. These risky 4th down plays show you are unwilling to learn and adjust even after being burned multiple times. If you can't game manage effectively you don't deserve to be the HC. Your wasting these player's effort and time with stupid decisions.

Is EM an idiot? He keeps making the same mistake over and over without learning a thing.

😂

I was thinking something more like after UAB.

Fixed.

Is there a reason our band never wears their uniform jackets?

I wonder if they are having trouble with the stream to ESPN+?

Simmons also spoiled us with his guaranteed scoring night after night.

Can we also sell out on recruiting a legit big man? I love Sissoko, and I hope Vice develops into a beast, but I feel like we haven't had a presence down low since Ousmane. We need to have that part of the game available to keep the team steady, and not have to play desperate shooting 3s.

Size on both sides of the line, but that seems to be the most difficult area to recruit.

Only his 2nd season on a 5 year contract. He gets $1M a year, but they are only owing him $1.3M to buy out his contract. Let's hope our admin isn't afraid to make a change if it's necessary next year.
