Never understood folks who thought it was so important to come to watch practice.
Nothing better to do type people

Exactly. Some folks have time on their hands and just look at is as something to do.

If that is your situation one day then call or email a coach or the SID and ask if you can. That is up to them to welcome you and if they say no then let it go and be understanding. If I am in town I might swing by or call before pulling in and ask but I won't be butt hurt if they tell me that I can't watch practice or it is not a good day to come to the building. The NFL doesn't even show up randomly. They reach out and ask permission and they truly have working reasons to come.

I get that for sure. It just sounded from a post that some folks were really upset about not getting in.

That’s supposition from someone that has “heard” that and decided that it’s truth. Folks that want to ask to attend practice don’t ask the coach, they ask the administration that they contribute their money too.

There’s a lot of people that heard things in the past they presented as truths.

Some folks have asked coaches. I am pretty sure the SID, AD, and coaches probably prefer we don't go all the time because it takes them out of their routine and is inconvenient. Only a jock sniffer would want to be there every day anyway. I would honestly feel like a loser going to App or my high school every day to watch practice. We should be supporting the program to give back and not just because we want to feel special and be on the field every day. We all contribute money but unless your name is on the stadium they should have the right say whether you can come that day or not.

I would suggest that having to deal with one or more random people (and I mean people not required to be there to add value) at practice along with any time spent answering YES or NO is not DLo’s top priority right now. I want him focused on player development, recruiting, opponents etc. Any of this other stuff is a distraction right now.

So I am with most of you , stop wasting his time .
