Spirit Walk...2011?

[untcampbell]

If so, an observation...

As much as I encouraged my kids to take part, I wasn't on board during the Dodge years.

A frowning, stoic coach in sunglasses led a group of 4 or 5, holding hands, none smiling and none interacting.

Followed by a bunch of seemingly uncomfortable players that just didn't appear to want to participate.

The band appeared to be having more fun, for goodness sake.

Contrast that with the walk at UL. Police cars blaring sirens to announce the team's appearance. Fans lined up for better than 1/4 mile. Players high-fiving fans all the way into the stadium, smiles on the faces of players and fans.

Almost appeared mutual: fans thanking the players for giving them their best. Players thanking fans for coming out to see them.

Advice to he who coordinates the pre-game spirit walk:

We, players and fans, are on the same team. Your success is our success. Together, we are better.

"Help me help you."

Dude, let it go.

This is not an anti-previous administration rant....that is too easy.

I pretty much tend to support he who has the job, and he who hired said jobholder (debating whether that is right or wrong is reasonable).

The point is to connect.

And this Coach gets that.

This coach will not let the Spirit Walk be a Death March.

This coach will not let the Spirit Walk be a Death March.

I am very confident of that!

Chuck Beck got it started back in the bowl era and I think he still organizes it. He is the fan with the Mean Green Mad Hatter hat and the green cape.He also usually has a bullhorn

My understanding is the walk will take place and that the team will walk down the walkway/trail behind the student stands at the new stadium. They will walk in when they arrive from the team hotel to the stadium.
