It's coordinated with a lot of bands and their schedules. Maybe the concern is that COVID may shut down HS bands as the season wears on so they wanted to get it in early? I'm just glad we're able to have it at all.

I guess it’s not a big deal when Ohio plays Texas State or Hampton, but can understand why it’s unpopular for Syracuse. I don’t think the 110 members are big fans of band day, but most of the participating bands have 110 alums directing them and it’s a huge recruiting tool and help fill seats for the opening game which normally is against an uninteresting opponent.

HS bands traveling a couple hours to Athens for an 8pm game on a school night or on Thanksgiving holiday aren’t likely solutions.

I have a good memory of high school marching band and getting to go to Miami's. Seeing Roethlisberger vs Josh Cribbs for free was cool, but I also remember lots of my classmates who had never been to their campus commenting on how nice it was and how good of a football atmosphere it was back then. I don't think the home opener is the necessary time to do it. There's usually a home conference game in October other than Homecoming and that would be a decent time for an attendance boost. Perhaps since non-conference games are known so far out in advance, it allows for better planning than if it's a conference game?

I'm excited about our interior defensive line depth. It's going to be very hard for the opposing team to wear down a rotation of McCraken/Mathews/Kai/Burks/Daxon/Middlebrook. Hopefully this depth bodes well for our run defense. I've seen crazier things happen.

I can understand them changing it last year with no fans, but wasn’t there some MAC rule about opposing benches not being by the students? I've seen crazier things happen.

Although he has a losing record overall at Syracuse, Dino is 3-0 at G5 teams (UConn 31-24 in 2016, WMU 55-42 in 2018, Liberty 24-0 in 2019), so there's cause for concern. Plus he's familiar with our system from his time at BG, beating us badly twice, so unless Albin does something different you might be right. I think it comes down to our O line controlling the game, our defense pressuring the QB and forcing turnovers, and maybe biggest of all, our kicking game. I doubt we can win a high-scoring game, so keep them under 30 and we should be ok. What I hope the Bobcats dont do is give the ball game away-that is one of the worst feelings, to be competitive but give it away on self-inflicted wounds. When Western Michigan played the Orange a few years back, that is what happened. WMU had all the tools to win that game but a few unforced turnovers really killed them.

The depth chart lists the starters as Houston, Cannon Blauser, and Johnson. These guys got the physical skills, including very good speed, but they are on the inexperienced side. A name like 'Cannon' is a great football name and has to become a household name... What we get from RT is also going to be key. Being the most inexperienced and youngest member of the line, you figure syaracuse will throw some stuff his way to see if he can handle it. Ohio might help him there a bit though with TEs or in other ways. I think TEs Adam and/or Ryan Luehrman are gonna show out vs syracuse, in blocking and pass receptions.

Band Day is traditionally the first home game of the year and you know how colleges love tradition. Back in the day Band Day would guarantee people in the stands and it was usually before the quarter commenced. It is a good recruiting tool for the 110 and the university. Many of these high schoolers have never seen a college band. Think they are impressed by the 110? Those of you that think it's a waste of time are very short sighted and not very deep thinkers in believing Bobcat Football is all about the football. Haters know less about the bands and music than they do football, and that's not much. Look for me screaming and hollering, enjoying every minute of the total football experience, bands, cheerleaders, dance teams and even football, win or lose, for the umpteenth year. I will let the big wheels at OU make the decisions on what they will put in front of me year to year and I will merely watch and enjoy. See you all tomorrow? Probably not. Maybe a few of you will be there. The rest merely complain about everything and support nothing.
