Re: Elon game
Very good idea, social media is a great tool. I sent something to Jamal Jackson on Twitter and he was kind enough to re-tweet it to promote the game. He has over 3K followers, many of whom are ASU students, so maybe that will help some. GoASU has been promoting the games on Twitter but I'd imagine that hearing it from the starting QB on the football team would mean more than from the athletic department.ASUPATCH wrote:Hey mods or whomever it is that controls yosefscabin facebook page.

Let's hope we can get a good turnout for this one!
Re: Elon game
Looking forward to taking a break from moving back in on campus Saturday afternoon. Hoping to recruit some students to be spectators. I'm just excited that we'll get above 1,000 again in attendance. Let's try to keep it there, and improve it.

Re: Elon game
I gave it a push with the App State Central FB and Twitter. It's difficult to reach the students though. Getting a RT from Jamal was a great idea.asumike83 wrote:Very good idea, social media is a great tool.

Re: Elon game
Got a group of 6 plus students, including myself, coming to both of the games tomorrow. I am going to attempt to recruit every student I see on campus to come to the games tomorrow and hopefully I will be successful. Go APPS!! Beat FElon and the Cants!!!

Re: Elon game
By my count we're up to 36 people coming to the game! Capel is making too much of this 3 game win streak and it shows his immaturity as a coach. Don't think it is wise to brag about beating an NAIA team and two D-I teams with a combined record of 9-22.

Re: Elon game
Given what he's had to brag about before now (nothing) I guess I can cut him a little slack. You gotta sell what you've got, and that's about all he's got -- a 3-game win streak, regardless of the circumstances. Try to get a bigger crowd out, get the players in a positive frame of mind, cross his fingers and say a little prayer.

Re: Elon game
What did Capel say about the win streak? All I heard was two of the 'Around the Mountain' segments this week where he said that he's proud of the guys, excited to get back on the court, they've progressed a lot since the beginning of the season, etc. It was just clips though, I have not heard a full interview.
For what it's worth, I do think the kids should be proud of the progress they've made. After starting 1-7, it would have been easy to pack it in. As much as our fans (myself certainly included) have criticized Capel, he didn't lose the team and they've gotten better throughout the year. A month ago, we were wondering if we'd win a DI game this season.

Re: Elon game
I am currently in an apartment across from the HCC, drinking brews and watching the State/Duke game/throwing the pig skin on commercials. It feels like June.AppinVA wrote:It's supposed to be quite warm. Anybody going to tailgate?
Re: Elon game
Brilliant job by Cobb or whoever for scheduling a home game that tips the same time as an NFL division playoff game...

Re: Elon game
Duke/State at noon, UNC at 2:00, Broncos/Ravens at 4:30. In this state, I'd rather compete with the NFL.IGgreer wrote:Brilliant job by Cobb or whoever for scheduling a home game that tips the same time as an NFL division playoff game...
