There were a lot of things that made last night work. And, the Chicken was only a part of it.
There was a one sheet distributed in the student section last night. It gave some information about the opponent and its players and orchestrated how to react to certain situations.
For about 18 months, we didn't have a leader in the promotions department. But when UL hired Sam Demuzio, we took a big step forward. (Sam is now the one sitting in the end zone who is playing the music after the last guy quit/was fired.) He's got four others on the staff who do so much getting ready for, and on, gameday. The oldest will be 24 years old this week. They're young and enthusiastic. And, now they have great direction. Sam is still learning about our traditions. But there's no question we've taken a big step forward. And, I think it's just the beginning.
Oh, and shoutout to the men's basketball staff for purchasing the Red Dot tee shirts that the first 100 students got.
