They were notorious for wearing like Halloween masks and stuff on the sideline and getting people pumped up. Think what the ULL sideline did to us when they came to town. Jake is intense but in a GREAT way. 3. I’ve never understood where it came from either. At my new position they PREACH following branding guidelines. Seems interesting they’re leaning into non-trademark things.

I agree, I know we probably don't have the means to get new turf, but at the very least we could get facilities out their to lay down some new paint. I understand it is a bandaid for now, but that bandaid will really make the Bobcat green POP on television. 2. I'm sick of all the rah rah "shtick" crap, cowboy hats included. A cowboy hat won't get you very far against a Tampa 2. And when I say Tampa 2, I'm not talking about my 1984 prom date. 3. I think the jury is still out on the whole "Go Bobbies", better than "Roll Cats" I'll say that much Back to Top .

The field looked like it had long term after effects of covid. This is pretty new turf too. Sickly. Anyone check its blood oxygen levels?

I mean they have CGIed advertising logos for some games. Why not an Attack Cat? We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

I think the jury is still out on the whole "Go Bobbies", better than "Roll Cats" I'll say that much Believe it or not, that rah rah shtick helps in recruiting. You’re correct in thinking you shouldn’t need it to win, get hyped up, etc… But everything from what’s/what’s not posted on social media, videos, game day atmosphere (sidelines and stands), etc they’re looking at it all. That’s why at your larger schools you have a whole staff dedicated to just that stuff.

A couple of times they panned down during a replay and it looked like the crossbar could use a new paint job. It seemed a little shabby. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by.

There is a reason hockey is the #1 sport in Canada, and it's not because it's cold 13 months out of the year up there. My suggestion is we stop looking north and head to the recruiting hotbeds of the deep south.

I think there must be a Canuck among us -- given the length of US football fields is 100 yards, not including end zones.
