People would be disappointed with 8-4? I would consider that a pleasant surprise.

Not to further downplay the recruiting success, but it's also worth noting for context that one thing boosting our "ranking" is the shear number of players we're bringing in. Our 58 total commits listed on 247 (HS plus portal) are 4th in the nation and 10+ clear of any other Sun Belt team. Our avera...

I would rather have a good recruiting class than not but I want to see recruiting class rankings and next year success on the field for G5 schools. I am not convinced these rankings are all they are cracked up to be. I think our fanbase has been so accustomed to not recruiting at a high level on th...

Mistakes happen, but that's two "oops, we sent that email in error" emails in less than a month.

I was a junior that year, so I’ve been spoiled most of my App life. A couple things I remember (besides Ingle Martin slipping on that wonderful patch of ice): Our team taking the exceptional Jamarcus Russel-led LSU tigers deep into the 4th quarter in Baton Rouge. The absolutely miserable conditions...

I don't know if fans who weren't around then can really conceive of what it felt like to win that first one. Just a couple years later, we had become the Goliath that dominated FCS, and of course all the FBS success that eventually followed. But prior to that year, we were the always-good, never-the...

Good question. Answer depends somewhat on your definition of great, but the larger, sadder point is that we have a lot of football players willing to wear our logo for a few months but not many Mountaineers left. That, of course, goes for pretty much every other school too. I did enjoy David Larkins...

It is my understanding that DG does indeed read social media so maybe he’d getting these suggestions. DG reading social media is one thing. Actually being open to new ideas and taking action on them is another. It would be a tough balance, because you do want your AD to be open to feedback. But soc...

Put me on the side the thinks the people laughing at JMU for this hire are going to be the ones puking up all the crow they will be eating. Not everyone is cut out for being a major college coach, but there are plenty of examples of those same coaches doing well at lower levels. Florida has not bee...

Proof these dudes are just... different. Florida has paid him $10 million of his $21 million buyout, then he's going to get $2.75 million for the next four years. Why, in the name of all that is good, would you go back into coaching immediately?!?!?! Go home! Travel! Play golf! Learn French! Why wo...

My favorite entrance ever was actually Can't Be Touched playing over a hype video. Always got me fired up, anyway.

Back in Black is good too (I actually give the edge to Hell's Bells for entrance music, but I get that it's not as on-theme). The Connery clip never quite landed with me, though.

You never know how the "on the way down" hires will go. Jerry Moore certainly did well here. Lane Kiffin fit that mold at FAU. RichRod at Jacksonville State. Dan Mullen just went 10-2 at UNLV. OTOH, Butch Jones isn't exactly tearing it up at A-State. Terry Bowden never did all that much post-Auburn....

So either they are paying him a BOATLOAD to come coach there or he said, You know what???? I couldn't hack it with the big boys and I got a big paycheck from Florida....I might just go back tot he Sunbelt and ride it out for less money. I wouldn't think he'd have a lot of immediate interest from ot...

Speaking of bleachers, I would suggest that the east side expansion could be a good opportunity to install individual seats throughout the stadium. Or maybe everywhere but the student sections. Would reduce total capacity, but that would be offset by the expansion. And the metal bleachers are becomi...

Fix Miller Hill with Astro turf or seats. Looks horrible with mud and trash all over it. Agreed. Ive been beating this drum for years. It is long past due to bowl in miller hill with seats. Long past due. Move the BOD over there so they can blast the entire stadium and all of campus. Put students o...

While we are doing a complaint thread, let me take a quick break to praise the efficiency of the beer table staff. At least on the east side, they really keep those long lines moving quickly. Makes it easy to pop out for some in-game refreshment without missing much.

I think Mountain Music (while not my personal favorite song) is pretty solid as an in-game selection, like during one of the breaks between quarters. It's one of the few things we have that's at all distinctive to us, and it gets a nice singalong/clapalong going. Agree that it's a bit misplaced as a...

Ditch the generic playlist of stadium music to play in three-second snippets between plays.

Spent many a Sunday lunch at K&W as a kid when I thought it was decidedly average, then as soon as I hit 40 and am ready to go to dinner at 5, they close their doors. The cruel irony of it all.
