Football at USA

Totally agree on Post 79!

It was a pretty well known fact that the game was never going to be a morning slot. Those are just excuses. And in my view, too damn many excuses are made with the current leadership of the alumni association.

I can assure you that the leadership of the association had no idea that the game would not be played in the morning. Exactly what excuses are you referring too and BTW do you know who the leadership of the association is and how long they have been in that position?

I’m very familiar with them. In fact, I’ve reached out on several occasions to try and highlight the chapters of Houston / metro plex / Atlanta / New Orleans on the podcast multiple times. I’ve even emailed you twice, looking for some way to get the word out or help promote the cause. I was told you’d email me back with some names but never got that follow up.

Regardless of all that, we have serious issues within the entirety of the alumni association mission. An alumni base this large, in these cities, with this much exciting news happening over the last decade across all of athletics, with THIS coach and THIS AD, we should be doing so much more. The RCAF initiative that was discussed right before Covid about the smaller cells of outreach; did that ever happen? I volunteered to help out. I’ve never been contacted further than the initial conversation.

We should be bringing in 5x the money and 10x the participation than what we’re doing now and over the last 15 years. I understand the challenges and I certainly get the staffing issues but I find it extremely hard to believe that Bryan Maggard wouldn’t be open to focusing some attention and maybe even resources to help heal what ails the AA.

IIRC, all credits remain 'active' for 10 years, so if it's within that time frame you can still build on those 90 hours. Might be worth looking into...90 hours is a lot to go to waste.

Also, whenever you re-take a course, the highest grades are the only ones that count towards your GPA. So if you first got a D then an A the 2nd time around the A is the only one that counts. I learned that myself, lol.

It would be a waste of time, plus it’s been over 10 years. It wouldn’t help me in my profession.

Never got an email from you

You responded to the email. Said you were leaving for vacation but would call me when you got back.

Nope.

Since no busses, where is my buddy that has the trolley service? Maybe we can get a trolley full of paying customers to Mobile?

I have known WestUCajun for a while and talk with him a few times a week. He is a first class guy who is a Cajun thru and thru. I am not sure if he would want but might be worth asking him to join a pod one day? Just a thought.
