Does the university still have a journalism department? The Flor-Ala still exists, right? Just hard to believe there aren't at least 1 or 2 folks on campus who would enjoy attending practice and writing up some short summaries. Even if it's a twice a week schedule, or something.
Just another example of how we don't seem to be serious about being a D1 school.

Not exactually sure how that response addresses the lack of coverage of Spring Football? Maybe it's a Dearmon thing? He pushed spring practice up earlier than normal, is giving the players some rest until the spring game. I know he has said in an interview on the radio that his spring practices are more about getting players up to speed more on the playbook and he would rather minimize injuries. Also that the spring game is more about the fans and he would like it to be a fun thing again without injuries. As far as the comment, that's my bad, I was in a hurry when I read it and blocked out the spring ball thing. I thought you was asking about updates on the stadium. In my opinion, we just don't have the reporters in the Times Daily that we used to have. Hopefully, within the next few months, I can kick off my new podcast and will try to incorporate as much of our concerns and report on them as much as possible. |

Brandon, no problem, you have been a valuable resource since the D1 transition. Hate to admit it but really miss the D2 football message board.

I won some pretty good cookies being part of the D2 website. Miss Blazer Lady and some of the others there. Hope that is going strong and they are doing well.

For some reason I never participated too much on the D2 board, but was aware of it and read the discussions there for years. There's some good people there and it was a good time to be a fan. Sometimes I still hate that we've lost that.
The message board interaction that sticks out most to me is when I was in college, 2003 I think? When we were undefeated and was, well, screwed by the NCAA and had to travel to play North Dakota. I went to their board and talked a little too much smack. I was confident we'd win. Oops.
At least I learned not to run my mouth.

Lol Haha yeah I'm still salty about it 20 years later. I'm not sure how the Dakota schools wield as much power with the NCAA as they do, but I thought then and still do that they convinced the NCAA it was "unfair" for us to get all the playoff games at home and then the championship game as well. I'm pretty sure we were a unanimous #1 going into the playoffs, so it was definitely a screwjob. Plus I don't believe we had played on turf that entire season until the game against them. They were obviously a good team, but it makes you wonder how things would've gone if the game were at Braly. |

Lol I was there in 03 as well. Still mad about having the team play up there. Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t President Potts leave UNA and go to North Dakota the next year ? |

The Lions had upset then #1 VSU early in November during the monkey game. |
