Feels like we’re kinda right back where we were in 2015. But on the down slide.bcoach wrote: ↑Sat Dec 06, 2025 1:20 pmAre you forgetting football coaches?AppGrad78 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 06, 2025 11:59 amI look at where we are today compared to the day Gillin took the job and ask: are we better off? On every metric, I come up with a resounding yes. Sure, there are areas of disappointment (elimination of men’s soccer and failure to complete the North End Zone, to name a couple). But every day I’m grateful we have a capable, dedicated leader atop our athletics department.
Let's pile on Gillin!!!!!

If whining is asking the AD to actually embrace new ideas and try different things to increase revenue generation, then I'm whiney.AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 05, 2025 8:33 pmI actually think he sees some folks online as overly whiney.

Good is the enemy of best. Gillin has been better than Cobb by a mile, but how many opportunities to grow the have been squandered?
And BTW, many of us actually work for others who do observe our work everyday and critique it. The "others" can be customers, company leaders, principals, parents, etc. who expect our best.

But, you’ve gotta pull the video if we are down three scores. It’s pitiful to play in an empty stadium.appstate24 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 05, 2025 10:25 amI do like the “4th Quarter at The Rock” video they do. Good motivational video, just to follow it up with a song that gets the students and players jumping.AppState89 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 05, 2025 9:58 amWe need to come up with something great to start the 4th quarter. What we have now is just boring. Used to be Mountain Music but that is usually the 2nd half song of the game.
GO APPS!!
Also, there needs to be energy, if you are going to ask “Can you feel the energy?”
Boise does a great job with the transition into the 4th quarter.
