Come on folks. Maybe this was a swing and a miss, but in case you can't tell we are in a DEAD season. God forbid that somebody TRY to create some interest and excitement.
We all acknowledge that they tried. Most of us also acknowledge that it was a weak attempt.

I'm not outraged or even a little upset, lol.
I don't think anyones (hope not at least) outraged. I think only us diehards are even upset because the delay, in conjunction with DGs month long teaser re: a possible large donation, just makes us look a little amateurish.

I think the casual fans probably saw the tease on Friday and then yesterday afternoon and are pumped.

I'm pumped about having Black "Saturday" against GASO again. And looking forward to recreating my last halloween game experience at App (sans the blackout)

Personally, i don't think the tease was necessary.

Also want to say no reason for anyone to apologize (much less the member of this board that tries the hardest not to speculate). THe whole reason this thing exists is for us to speculate.

Here's the Tweet in question from last month.

So.... this tease is over a month old, and still in question... Obviously a big gift, but how much and from who?!
I read this tweet as an announcement that someone gave a large donation and that’s it. I don’t think it meant to be a tease; just some reporting done pertinent information.

I played the video in reverse with the audio slowed down a bit. You can clearly here a constant "hah you loser, here's a big announcement: you are a big fat doodoo head."

I’m excited for Black Thursday. Definitely the right call re: which game gets the “Black” monicre. But MAN. What a let down. This athletic coms team is really out of touch. Maybe they’re still students?
I’ll give them a “D” with red sharpie.

Agreed. It was just very lame. Their social media game has been awful. Gillin needs to get rid of those who have been heading it up and make sure they hire new folks who know how not to get suspended as well.

Here is what a big announcement would be to me.

The GSU game on Halloween will also be the Black Saturday/Thursday game this year.
Luke Combs will be performing at the halftime show while burning Luke Bryant in effigy.

I truly don't think that people are upset or mad. I think that, if anything, they are disappointed with how our marketing team within the Athletic Department doesn't seem to have a firm grasp on how to actually market things. Yes, cool videos and flashy graphics are great, but I generally think that this team is out-of-touch with how to market effectively and efficiently.

As someone who works in marketing, I have to say that there is much to be desired when it comes to the way our marketing team thinks and works. This is not meant to be a knock on them, as I am sure that they are doing it the way that they have always known it, but sometimes it is really great to go back to the drawing board and think something through from beginning to end. What makes fans excited for something? How is that anticipation played out on a timeline? What's the difference between a major announcement and just an announcement? These are just a few examples of our they could tighten things up a bit in the future.

Our marketing is done by Learfield IMG College. I wonder if they assign real pros to our account or newbies fresh out of their internships. This isn't a criticism of those folks, just a question that I have no answer for. IMG College is a growing by leaps and bounds company but it has a ton of high major clients. I just wonder how their HR team assesses and assigns talent.
If it happens to the Apps, it happens to me!

I think the takeaway for our social media team (in case anyone at Athletics or IMG or DG himself happens to read this thread) is that we're listening. You have an audience. The only way to change that is by squandering the excitement by hyping non-stories. (boy+crying-wolf=apathy)

Black Saturday happens every year, so shifting it over a few days just isn't a big deal. It could have been simply announced without the buildup. Beyond that, this game already has so many ingredients: hated rival+Halloween+night game+probably TV. Why not save Black Saturday for a game that could use a dash on intrigue?

For the record, the "big news" teaser is a non-issue for me. The issue that got the Twitter account suspended (Copyright infringement I believe) is a much more significant issue. Someone seriously dropped the ball on that one.

From what I've heard about how wonky Twitter copyright claims are, it's not something App or App marketing people should get in trouble for.

Same reason? Copyright infringement?

At this point, we need to make it a marketing campaign like the Carolina Hurricanes and "Bunch of Jerks".

Not sure how the account was suspended again? It is rather easy to follow the rules on copyright infringement if that is the case. Whoever controls the account and is posting should be reprimanded with this being the second time.
