Does culture matter anymore?

[WVAPPeer]

Our culture:

Self-reliance and resourcefulness

Appreciation for each other and the area

Supporting each other/team over self

Grounded in traditional family and often religious values

Pretty much the opposite of the direction of CFB today.

I read your list as if I'm not mistaken as general university culture and that is an important baseline. The things that made GameDay so special are what I was addressing. Boone is the epitome of a small town where college football is king. The things that happen in and around Boone and the App campus on GameDay is where traditions are launched and renewed every game day. I was always inspired by the band playing The Olympic Theme for every kickoff, Black in Black, Welcome to The Rock, 3333 Ft. I know many of you could list others. Remember the booming APP .... STATE cheers. Oh well I'm old but not against change. Some things should never change
