On Saturday, September 7, 2024, the view from 331 was….
Fabulous.
What a day! I think we all knew it could happen, but did any of us think we’d be completely dominant? Have some miscues, and find enough gut to hold on in the end? Not me.
I think the biggest thing missing from teams of recent years past, is false starts. I can’t even remember 1 right now, but fair to say it’s a small fraction to what we’ve been used to. Hallelujah.
Could not attend the Quad Walk but glad to see a good turnout even in bad weather.
Had a nice chat with our old seat neighbors that moved with the new seating. Seems everyone is all very behind HCFMFB.
The students section upstairs was not even close to the capacity, unlike last week. Though the country music concert goers seemed to have stumbled into a football game again this week. Unbelievable how many times our usher had to come up and tell random fans they couldn’t sit in those seats. Why don’t people just use the tickets they have?
Speaking of the crowd, I feel like it was thinner than last week, even though official attendance was about 2000 more. No state fair, no leaves, no excuses!!
Fist bumped Macky MacPherson in the hall. That’s it. That’s the whole story.
Let’s talk coffee. Was not an issue for me yesterday, but it is for 3:30 games as I NEED it around 4-5pm. There is no coffee on the 2nd floor. I suggest either adding it to one of the upper stands or add canned or bottled cold brew/starbucks/Dunkin type stuff that you can buy at the stores, into the grab and go coolers.
The kid and the bass drum… I’m all for these type of things getting the young fans involved, but this one makes no sense. At least they gave her a beater this time. There is no structure, no ability to rev up the crowd. If they had them do the “let’s go orange” rythym it would make more sense and not be so cringey. No one knows what to do or how to react.
Hey guess what? Sound was bad.
Loving the interaction I saw yesterday between the players and the students after scores. It looks like the move is allowing a little more of that.
Loving the HCFMFB era so far. Watching his fiery passion on the sidelines is so refreshing. At the end of the game when he headed to the band for the Alma mater with the team, he was yelling, and waving his arms to the students trying to fire everyone up. Really cool.
Enjoy the week off.
