During Hawks press conference today he said that Hunter is feeling good, no symptoms, and that, although he didn't practice today, they expect him to be available on Saturday.
I'm wondering if we won't know about HR until game time. Not that starting HR or Hastings would really alter Idaho's defensive scheme, but Hawk does like to keep opponents guessing.
of course it was the middle of the night and it was a long day so I’m sure a lot of guys looked out of it. HRs health is paramount and I’m sure he’ll only get back out there if he’s 100% healthy.
I don’t think they’ve announced a concussion for sure yet, but I heard he was pretty out of it on the way home last night. They’ll do more tests, of course, but it wouldn’t surprise me if the staff plays it close to the vest with his status.
WBB scheduled released. Only two out of state games, at Oregon and, of course, at Hawaii. Everything else takes place in California. Looking forward to home games against Wazzu and Gonzaga.
I was wondering about the stampede too. This was for the second years since they didn’t get a chance last year. Next home game will be first years. We have five home games. Why not year three, year four, etc. I’d say running of the alumni but I’m not sure the liability insurance will cover.
You're right, there did seem to be a lack of games (getting your face on the big screen always gets a big cheer). Maybe something that will get better as time goes by. By the way, I also liked the new horse for Maggie (Sugar, I believe it's name is). Didn't seem as fazed by the sound as the first one we had two years ago. And of course Pint got the biggest ovations of the night. Overall, one of the better atmosphere's we've had.
To tell you the truth, the PA announcer didn't even register with me. Looking back I do remember the intro of the team through the tunnel. His call was "anti-climactic" at best. I thought Darius on the sidelines was very good, but I may be a bit biased as my son's girlfriend went to high school with him so we chatted a bit during the game. I thought his personality really came across well while he was trying to hype up the crowd.
I do hope that the members of the current band are able to grow it into something that they enjoy participating in and that they, and all Aggies, can be proud of. Kind of like rebuilding a sports team, it will take time and a lot of energy.
Regarding the new band, dumpster fire is a good description. I actually felt a little bad for the kiddies. They clearly weren’t properly prepared to be in front of 10k fans. Maybe the get a bit better in two weeks but I’m not holding my breath.
