At one point I saw one of the assistants holding what looked like his earpiece in place, I guess they finally taped it to his head

I heard that Drink caught a cleat behind his right ear, hence the bandage.
Wait what? Lol
Yeah, he got taken out on the sideline at the end of a play. Headphones came off, visor went flying. Happened right in front of me. Thankfully not hurt worse.

The train was almost as bad as the chicken at USC, but overall, I appreciate how hard GaSt worked to have a Gameday environment. Imagine if App had the resources GaSt had. I don't mind piped in music, as long as it's blended in well with a traditional band. They even played a lot of Lecrae/Mineo which is good CLEAN hip hop that my kids can repeat.

Blew my mind how they couldn't bring more fans for a Top 25 visitor at a good venue right in the city and basically giving away tickets. I'd probably go to every game if I lived locally.
We went from one extreme (A lot of band and tradition, with very little piped in music) to a Piped in Dance Party. I enjoyed both environments (although, I prefer the More Band in Boone). Georgia State's PA announcer is awesome.
That may be their environment every game, but I almost felt like they cranked the music at every opportunity so we couldn't get a good App State chant going and take over their stadium.
The Train Horn was obnoxious and used too often. But, hey, their fans had to live with it as well.
As good as the environment was, I would suggest that they move their students to the sideline nearest the band. They have plenty of seats near the 10 and 20, and can still sell reserved seats around the rest of the stadium.

As far as fans:
1. Most people from Georgia are Georgia Fans. There is a small contingent that is Ga. Tech fans (mostly graduates) and although they are having a losing season, their attendance was not good for a 3:30 kickoff 3 miles from Georgia State at Bobby Dodd against Virginia Tech.
2. Atlanta is not a great sports town. They have a ton of transplants and really only support teams when they are winning.
3. Georgia State is a historically commuter school (much more so than Charlotte). They are trying to transform to a "traditional" university, but it's going to take some time.

Kind of the same talk we got from UNCC folks early on. Something about being in a big city makes them think players will just flock to them. I guess they never really stop to look at the locations of Alabama, Clemson, LSU etc. it’s not about the location, it’s about building a tradition of excellence.

Georgia State is striving to even show up on the Atlanta sports radar. But you don't build a tradition with 1 good season. I liked the big wide concourses but that building still needs a lot of very expensive work to feel like a real football stadium. Kinda reminds me of that Jerry Moore quote "how much are you willing to give up? How much are you REALLY willing to give up?" Georgia State has invested in football. Now how much are they REALLY willing to invest in football?

A couple of glaring things I noticed regarding the stadium... they’ve done some nice window dressing and the facility has great bones, but already I am seeing a big drop off in maintenance. If they are not willing/able to drop a significant amount of money on upkeep, that place will turn into a s**t hole in a short amount of time. The seat next to mine was missing the actual seat, cupholders were broken off, etc.

I never saw an usher anywhere. No one to help you find your section. Ticket takers didn’t know where anything was. Poor signage for parking lots, one lot was dark as hell. I wouldn’t have parked there for free. Concessions were basic. No candy at all. But at least they have Coke products. They have us beat on that score . Some of these are little things but they add up.

That's one thing I was thinking about last night. Since, they didn't tear anything down, they have a huge facility to maintain. Power is still running all the way around the stadium and they have a ton of bathrooms, and concessions mothballed. The good news is that, if a seat is broken, you can just move to the next one. They also have a ton of spares, they could swap seats from.
In fairness, our upper East Deck is filthy. It needs to be power washed. During the warm games this season, patrons were sweating and gaining a black stripe across the back of their clothes. The walkways and ramps are black, instead of silver.

I'm not sure when the last time KBS was given a good cleaning. It is pretty dirty.

I lost 10db worth of hearing last night from that damn train whistle on 3rd down and when they scored.

Any chance others would be interested in a class action lawsuit against Georgia State University Athletics for hearing loss?

Agreed. Not sure a class action is the way to go (trust me). I suggest an email to the AD, who we should all remember, Charlie Cobb. Some emails would likely accomplish more than a lawsuit.

That thing was so loud, it could well be one thing that is keeping GaSt students away (there are probably others). I left feeling surprised that some little kid's momma had not already complained & gotten it turned WAY down. Otherwise, I thought their stadium was GREAT, and their announcer was good too. I had a gyro sub in the stadium that was really, really good. But, I saw NO GaSt students, except their band. I did see some App students there.

I love Brian, but Corey is in a whole different class. Brian relied alot on his physical gifts, Corey has the same gifts but adds a tactician element.

Quick was an inch taller and maybe a little faster straight away speed, but Corey’s route running, lateral quickness and hands are better.

Watch Noah manhandle the linebacker to the sidelines and right into Drinkwitz. That's how Drink got the head wound.

If it had happened at South Carolina, we would have been flagged for an illegal chop block

I'm pretty sure their students were sitting on the bleachers in the end zone beside their band.

That’s right. There were 24 of them.
