Pavlovs Eagle

Is this at Fenway or DAT-Q? Surely we aren't losing that many seats by switching to seatbacks in the center sections.

It's not even Feb. It feels bad to see us so tired mid Jan.

We look exposed

The cursed black uniforms 😑

Welcome to Football in Denton. We hope that "New to Green" eventually turns into "Long in the tooth and unavoidably jaded yet supportive of the Green" I'm not sure if that will be too many characters for a screen name, though.

"Power Six"? I thought that was something the AAC marketing team made up that included the AAC.

I feel the videoboard inserts that only show the Ryan logo are newish, but other than that, aren't they the same boards I remember from 20+ years ago when I was a student?

The scoreboards at each end of the court are malfunctioning. Quality equipment from the mid-late 1900's.

33 on Temple is eating good and might be 35 years old.

I resemble that remark

You'd consider yourself more of the Gen X'er who waits for the TikToks to be exported to Instagram Reels, or are you more of a Boomer who patiently awaits them to get all the way to Facebook Videos? Because all those TikToks you watch or don't watch on the TikTok app, don't stay just on TikTok for very long (I say this not having TikTok on my phone at all). My favorite part is that the new student doing the MC duties hasn't quite figured out how to speak/annunciate well during the game so that they can actually be understood. I had no idea why there were a bunch of shoes and kids running out to get them. The current MC needs to be connected to some of the more recent MCs that were audible and understandable when doing their bits. The speaker system is what it is at the Pit; there are ways to speak in the mic where the crowd can hear you. Mallory and Ashley Pickle come to mind from a few seasons ago; they were two who were good at their MC duties.

As long as it's not a nasty IPA that someone has to convince me it has enjoyable "complexity" to its flavor and finish.

I'm not sure I'd want to work anywhere where the "retired" person I'm replacing still offices out of the same building. First bad game, you see Saban in the hallway Sunday morning: "It's not the way I would've done it, but I'm sure you had your reasons. You'll get it next time Chief!" That being said, you gotta make hay while the sun shines. Get that bag King! 🤑

Sounds like the 12 year old kid sitting in front of us at the Tulane MBB game on Saturday. He was betting on the game on his phone and showing his mom the bets he was placing. I don't think he was old enough to get into a PG13 movie. Mom was just "okay honey" and didn't say anything to stop him.

I hate the Big10 and it's role in the demise of the PAC12. Hope USC and UCLA freeze to death in Ann Arbor next year in a November game. They started this...

Isn't this the first year it was on a Sunday?

Imagine the concourse exactly as it was before it was closed in portions for two years and you've seen it after the 2 season long construction. No idea what they were doing. I'd guess it was something like sprinkler system upgrades or other mechanical because they didn't repaint or resign anything. But they still can't figure out how to open any entrances facing N Texas Blvd even with the construction done. Love walking all the way up Highland to the A entrance. 🙄

They're attempting to keep the energy up the same way any NBA game would with high tempo, upbeat, and hopefully (but less today) current music. If youve been to a Mavs game in the last two decades it's totally the same. Honestly tonight, vs the LSUS game, the music energy regressed. I made a comment earlier in the thread and got some down votes, but we regressed back to more hits of the 1970's. I'm sorry, but YMCA isn't going to hype anyone born after 1990. At LSUS, the DJ by the Free Frosty sign was getting into it and the energy was good. I know we had a smaller band that game, so maybe they gave him more free reign to play current upbeat music. Today it was average at best, but at least not entirely quiet like it has been at some games in previous seasons. All teams are doing this, it's part of making your arena a challenging place to play. Schools are pumping in music, crowd noise, sound effects, etc. Go read the thread on Sicem365 about the new Baylor basketball arena. People were measuring 120db or more during the first game there. If you want a nice quiet game to listen to the announcers, subscribe to ESPN+ and sit at home. You can always bring noise cancelling headphones or earbuds and listen to the feed in a headset at the game. That's not unheard of.

🤫

Where else can elderly people hear the hits of the 70's as hype music. It's perfect! 🤡

It will go down in infamy that Southern Miss didn't keep him as HC when he was acting as interim before Austin Peay snatched him up.

I'm not even sure if we're talking about FSU or SMU here, but either way if this is real and I was a LP in this fund I would be PISSED. I know PE is having a field day lately finding places to put money, but damn.

Figured I'd comment on this, since I've loudly proclaimed how annoyingly long the construction was taking... but I noticed that the ongoing construction on the Concourse at the Super Pit was done at some point in the past few weeks (yes I missed the last two home games before LSUS). You can now walk all the way around the Pit's concourse again! And they have snack bars open on each side (no crazy lines today like some earlier preseason OOC games). Now, if they'll just open the G or F entrance at the next game for all the Fouts parking people who walk across the Highland St intersection crosswalk.

It is less of an issue when they don't close all the entrances that face Fouts parking. The current two-season-long concourse construction/refresh at the Pit is taking longer than it took to build the entire Pit. Still don't understand what is even being done at this point.

I love that the school sent an email to get fans to buy tickets to the tourney in the past day or two. I hate to say it, but I'm not seeing much that leads me to believe we'll make much of an AAC tourney appearance, if at all.
