Update on construction....

I don't really think that's going to be much of an issue. I've rarely seen even an extra point get much further than the top of that end of the stadium - much less the board. Just to get that far at ground level would be about 55-60 yards if not more and the board is a good 30 to 40 feet further up, so you need to be able to boot about 70 yards to even have a chance at the bottom of the scoreboard.
All good points. Hadn't calculated the distance.

Just annoys me when a kick lands in the stands by going over the net. And I honestly don't know why. 🤣

FOOTBALL Just curious

Did anybody else lose their posting credentials in here the last few days???Every time I tried to login I kept getting this message:

For a minute, I thought I had been banned.😂
I can assure you I’m not banning people lol

Update on construction....

On the scoreboard note, what is the point of the Ascend nets? Thankful for the advertising dollars but they are wayyyy too low and get kicked over nearly every single time.

Zeke is gonna wack the snot out of that new board if they don't adjust how the net pulls up.

FB RECRUITING MTSU adds priority offensive tackle target

Will be a raw group, but this is the best size for the volume of O-line athletes I can practically remember MT having in some time. As some prognosticators point out there's no doubt we lost a lot to the transfer portal last year, along with our entire coaching staff which yields some major concerns for this season. I can get that.
However, still wish to point out last year's line for MT was considered one of the weakest in all of fbs as proven by its 4-8 record. Part of that failure was also from a pretty weak coaching staff as well.
My thoughts are losing all those prior coaches & players are not necessarily a bad thing.
Yes there are concerns early on, but don't be surprised that with better coaching by late fall this line can & will be considerably better than the one we saw in the fall of 2023.
Seeing Marcus Miller take on a leadership role with this unit and be able to play both inside and RT makes me feel better about the line but need the top guys to stay healthy this fall. The position group is definitely headed in the right direction but the staff has to find the pieces to hold over until then imo

New video board at Floyd...

I was listening to Sam Doughton's podcast episode with Chelsea Floyd and she was talking about having more food trucks. When I was looking at colleges two years ago I went to a couple Samford games and they have that whole section behind the end zone cleared out as a hangout place with food trucks, games, etc. I think that would be a really cool thing to do in my humble opinion but I don't know how realistic it would be to take out part of the stadium right now especially with building up top notch facilities. If I can find a good pic of Samford area, I'll send it. Linked below is that podcast episode between Sam and Chelsea...

Imagin a beer garden that could stay open during week and off weekends with an entrance that does not run through stadium. Give the kids something to do when nothing is going on and walk to and from. I toured the University of Miami with my eldest and they have an on-campus sports bar that apparently is busy.

Could be used in the hospitality department like a potential hotel.
