Once again this season the 1500lb Victory Bell was hidden away from sight over behind the stands on the southwest side.

I keep asking why the damn thing cannot be placed behind the endzone on the concrete, out into the open for all to see and hear and I keep getting told it's too heavy to roll over the track. HorseShit!

There was a 12,000lb ambulance sitting on it all night long at the north end of the track and there has been tractors and other equipment rolling over it all summer long while the new turf was being installed. Bring in 4 sheets of plywood to roll over, something, anything to make it happen?

Our alumni step up and bring back a very expensive, long standing tradition after several years of absence and it gets pushed aside. I'm so tired of the excuses.

Wears me out!

the bell rang 3 times that i heard. it rings for scores and things mentioned earlier, plus last season (and I hope it continues for all seasons) fans can follow the bell (tug) vehicle over to the admin building for the lighting of the victory lights and the bell can be rung all thru the denton streets. homecoming parade, drive and ring. it was outside the mean green village for tailgating but I think there should be a more active role of it there as well. ring the players marching out, ring the start of tailgating, ring for the sake of ringing!

you can always ring my bell! biggrin.gif

The bell and the tug are just too cool not to be utilized.

It should ring for the start of the Mean Green March directly preceding the firing of the cannon. It should also ring 30 minutes before kickoff as a reminder to wrap up tailgating and get into the stadium.

...and if you don't pack up and start walking into the stadium the "tug" will run over your stuff............ cool.gif

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol
