Kiyan will bring a note to Gerry excusing him from all practices. It will be signed “Kiyan’s Mother/Father”

 

[JRHEETER]

Wow, this is awesome.

This is the kind of stuff I expect from our Athletic Department!!!

This is a very good sign about our new Athletic Director. This helps build the fan base, get them excited AND build revenue.

Amazing

Perhaps Kiyan didn’t develop well because he had a poor HC.

Also it was well noted before Kiyan got here that he wasn’t a day 1 starter and a development piece. Give the kid some time.

Some cuse fans had too high expectations for this kid.

Fans will be expected to show their scrappiness by doing 2 suicides upon entering and exiting.

 

[ScriptCuse]

Claimed my 6! This is great... hopefully encouraging early changes by the new AD understanding the importance of community involvement, etc

Yep but…….good sign here. They’re gonna need a bigger room I bet. Lots of folks wanna go

I have 2 tickets but don’t know who I can talk into going with me. I’ll find someone.

The time is bad. 6:00 would have been better

A part of me feels bad for Autry having to see all this fanfare and hype surrounding GMac at the expense of his firing, especially with this event. But the other part of me doesn't since he knew everything he had to do to avoid it all coming to this, but refused to address any of it.

This is certainly a positive indication for the new AD's tenure. Sow the seeds early for transfer recruiting as to how you'll be treated by the community if you come to Cuse and win.

I was kinda hoping this post wasn't that deep and was just a riff on the running "Signed, Epstein's Mother" joke from Welcome Back, Kotter.

I wasn’t dogging Kiyan, I just used him to make a Welcome Back Kotter joke

Correct!

All good, my bad!

Well in that case, up your nose wit' a rubba hose. And for sure, this is the kind of event and branding that we all want to see out of the Athletic Department. Here's hoping it has traction.
