The teaser didn't use the #makeanimpact term. It only references AppstateSorts.com and the ticket office telephone number.

The original make an impact notice from a month ago was across all sports. The Big News coming soon announcement (soon has left the building) was for football only.

Bet it’s going to be when Black Saturday is going to be. And it may not be a Saturday

That is an interesting first post for a 3 year old account. Maybe Black Saturday will be on a Tuesday.

Re: Big News Coming Soon?
I agree, that’s what it would seem to be, however, if you follow DG on Twitter, he uses the #MakeAnImpact on almost all of his tweets. especially when announcing wins for teams, so that does muddy the waters some.Yosef10 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 9:55 amThen Moose came on here and said #MakeAnImpact.

If black Saturday isn’t on a Saturday, it will be on a Thursday this year with GSU coming to town on Halloween.
Maybe black and orange Thursday...

Re: Big News Coming Soon?
Well, the discussion has been whether we should consider having it on Thursday for the Georgia Southern game. Check out the Black & Gold Podcast if you haven't already. No inside info, just discussion about what Black Saturday means, history, challenges, etc.

Re: Big News Coming Soon?
I would like for the tease to be for a soon to be made announcement of a donation large enough to name and to fund at least 50% of the athletic facilities needs at the 105 South Campus.... (1)T&F (2) Softball. Those two programs are presently in need of a permanent home to boost their recruiting. Their current facilities are both inadequate and are slowing progress of other projects. We need simultaneous development at multiple sites. That requires $$,$$$,$$$.
If it happens to the Apps, it happens to me!

Re: Big News Coming Soon?
It is mind numbingly stupid to tease a big announcement on a Friday morning and not make the announcement by the following Monday afternoon. Instead of creating excitement, you're creating resentment at this point.

Re: Big News Coming Soon?
Exactly.
We obviously have a weakness with whomever is running our social media....
Maybe the big announcement is the return of the AppState Football Twitter account?

Re: Big News Coming Soon?
Such consistently poor handling of teasers and "big announcements" of announcements that aren't so big make me wonder if we have some sort of disconnect inside the athletics department. I'll trust that our entire athletics communication team is smart enough to know the who/what/when/where's of teasers, especially since the advent of social media and the explosion of a 24/7 news cycle, a news cycle where the attention span of the public is equivalent to about the amount of time it takes to eat a potato chip. So, that makes me wonder if something is getting lost in translation somewhere - the COMS team knows something good is coming but the timing and magnitude always make me wonder how much they really know. I trust DG and everyone in the dept. under his guidance but I just can't seem to wrap my head around how bad we botch these things...doesn't make any sense compared to the way we operate the dept. as a whole.HighlandsApp wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 2:07 pmExactly.

Re: Big News Coming Soon?
Jesus fellas nothing other than a donation gets the #makeanimpact hashtag. If it was anything else it would have just said “important announcement coming”

Re: Big News Coming Soon?
Have you ever seen a tweet from Doug Gillin??
Go back and look at his twitter account from the last 30 days. If #makeanimpact is used less than 50 times, it hasn't been used at all. And none of them deal with donations
