Too much mccarney. With his same old act about the school being great and all that. Let someone else get some credit...like...scrappy. He can caw! Caw!

why in the hell would Scrappy caw? He is an eagle, not a crow. I guess the same reason why Bevo wouldn't cluck like a chicken?

Well that's what they teach students from the get-go, so just play along...

all them... they all hate me

-He Hate Me

I am just asking. I personally have only witnessed a few people doing the caw sound. When people grow up and realize being weird gets them no where in life, they will quit being weird just for the sake of it. Flame away you very few freaks:)

Home side looks like it's about a quarter full. The reported attendance was 5k. The home side must hold around 20k.

I know it's hard to gauge attendance when they're not setting up for Tamale Fest or some other city sponsored event. Dedicated football stadiums are a foreign concept But don't give up trying to understand.

Unfortunately you're not paying attention to the students. When I was a student back in the late 1990's a certain individual and his group started the caw movement during games. It caught on and It's now taught to incoming freshman. The Green brigade freaking does it during the fight song!

If a crow caw is taught to incoming freshman, then I stand corrected to so many co-workers that constantly make fun of us. I guess they are right, we should just concentrate on playing the flute and writing poetry. What next, some freak will want to adopt a white squirrel as our alternative mascot?

How stupid can it get? But I have to remind myself sometimes that it took us nearly a decade to pull our heads out of our ass and stop using other schools colors so it doesn't surprise me that we're phucking something like this up too.

Have we all forgotten that the damn athletic department used to play that bird screech sound effect at games? Am I the only one that remembers that piercing sound blasting out of the mono speakers at Fouts, along with the left channel audio grunting of "Thunderstruck" and only the Izzy Stradlin guitar parts of "Welcome to the Jungle"? I'm pretty sure that's what the "CAW!" in the fight song is emulating. Didn't they used to do too when we our defense was on a third down?

Nevermind the fact that THAT is not what a Bald Eagle sounds like. It's a Red-tailed Hawk screech.

Bald Eagles make less, well let's just say, less intimidating sounds.

This topic comes up more often than i would have ever imagined. I like how people bitch about people vocalizing support for the program, and then when they do choose to support it you bitch about HOW they do it. I don't care if people are mooing at their lineman, noise is noise. Support is support.

-Keep Calm and Caw On

      Now 48-18. Honestly, this is about as frustrating as it can be for those of us that think the league deserves more respect. I get worried that the data/committee hangs their hats on these losses, rather than look at all the mid-P5 wins we accumulate. Then, when selection weekend rolls around and one or two of us Americans are on the bubble, we get knocked out of discussion in favor of some 0.500 P5 squad.

      Kinda OT, but can someone talk about what Hodge does from an x-and-os standpoint? Curious on both sides of the court. The past 5 years work has removed me from nerding out on the game as much as I used to. You don't see as many coaches from the Iba/Knight trees anymore, side effect being I don't know how these current coaches think about the game.

      In terms of difficulty, I think this team will be closer to SDSU than it is to St. Bonaventure. This will be tough and would be a good win for us. Likely Q2 but a chance of bring Q1 at a neutral site. They have wins at Minnesota and home against Oregon St. ( Oregon St. just played Oregon to 3pts in a battle down the stretch. By all accounts, we got handled by Oregon.) This will have great test for our guards to stay under control. We have seen stretches where Drake and even Mason have struggled with TOs. We need to handle the pressure. We should have the numbers to stay fresh so they need to stay high focus high intensity when they are on the floor. Hoping Ian is feeling better today. We could use him for sure. The tallest they play is 6’9”(3x players) and have 2x 6’1” guards who play a lot of minutes. Would love to see Mason use his strength and exploit those smaller guards as well as Drake and Ian would also be quite a bit taller than them. Fish, Templin and Gateretse should find opportunities this game and maybe even some time for Isaac Davis to use his strength. I think Akanno might have another good game here as well. We need to have to them struggle against our defense and break out for easy baskets, make the game go our way rather than being bogged down attacking their set defense. Also, I think our bigs run the floor much better than their 6’9” 245lb center and we should be able to find some easy baskets if we break out quick like we like to do. I think it will be tough sledding initially until we can calm down and figure out their defensive pressure, then I think we see us separate mid 2nd half and we take the lead for good.
