There were a couple of guys on the State side that felt the need to start an “Eric Church sucks” chant each time Luke Combs was on the screen or played. It was pretty self serving as no one really joined them. You would have thought they would have figured this out over time. I guess that can be counted as a con for selling alcohol at games.

Re: Welcome to the Rock
How about Retired Major General of the Army Gil Beck? Mountaineer, all conference center, academic All American...
We don't slide at Appalachian State. It's a sign of weakness.

Re: Welcome to the Rock
While I don’t disagree, I think if people don’t recognize the person, it won’t be as successful or exciting as someone “famous” either a big time one, or an app local celebrity

Re: Welcome to the Rock
I made this suggestion to Doug. The video leading up to the “welcome” should “introduce” the person who will deliver the line. They could use the normal video but sprinkle the person in. If it’s someone the crowd should know just sprinkle in images of that person. For AE or Coach Moore you could just use things like coach being carried off the field at Michigan. For AE I see the dive into the end zone. For lesser know folks you could do a little more. The fans would start to see this and it would actually create a build up to the line being delivered. Anyhow, Im happy it’s happening and look forward to the next presenter.The Rock wrote: ↑Sun Sep 29, 2019 3:03 pmWhile I don’t disagree, I think if people don’t recognize the person, it won’t be as successful or exciting as someone “famous” either a big time one, or an app local celebrity

Re: Welcome to the Rock
They had Armanti’s name on the bottom of the screen. I want the fighter pilot.
His face and below Name class of xx. And those jets that roll thru Ashe across to Linville George I want a flyby.

Re: Welcome to the Rock
Whitney Way Thore? My wife enjoys her show, she lives just down in Greensboro, gets back to campus on occasion, and is a reality TV "star" - pretty sure the students would recognize her as well.

Re: Welcome to the Rock
They need to do an "App Celebrity of the Week" video...(or at least a graphics slide) to feature the person and play it during warm ups so that people know who it is beforehand. With Coach Moore and Armanti, the name is all that was needed but with some folks, a little more information would be good.
