We need to hire some bouncers for the UNCC game.

Georgia Southern will need a police escort

And a shelter to block the batteries and full water bottles being thrown. We may also need to be on the look out for wayward goal posts and pizza stompers.

It takes too long to stand in line for that bottle of water just to chuck it away and you must be thinking of Marshall with the batteries. But yes, definitely keep an eye out for a well placed upright.

Batteries is a Georgia Southern thing if I'm not mistaken. Anyways, they will also need to watch out for bird poop.

I thought the NEZ complex would have a small locker room.

It isn't the long term solution. The new end zone facility will house the new App locker rooms and the away team will now be in what has serves at the App locker rooms most recently. The issue lies as to whether or not the new App locker rooms will be ready for the 2020 date they mentioned. Based off an interview with Gillan, it has been reported that only the first and fourth floors will be ready and we may be holding out for more funding before they can completely finish the design of the 2nd and 3rd. I would think the locker room should be on the ground floor so I would imagine it will be ready.

That would be pretty stupid to give the current locker room to the visitors. Have them run down the ramp and across our field to the east side? Who is making decisions up there.

I think they should definitely dig that ramp out into a tunnel, place a cap over it, and have players enter those locker rooms through an underground tunnel/stairs.

That was the plan, right up until they hit bedrock. The building should really be in the South (bank) endzone with seating wrapping the North. That huge scoreboard should be in the North end as well and the back side used as a 24-7-365 electronic billboard for App Athletics.

That’s would have been nice but count me as a much maligned lover of the bank. I’ll sit there anytime it’s above freezing and dry

We took ownership of the Herty Materials Lab several years back. They were one of the labs that participated in the formulation of kevlar as well. I thought it was a great acquisition at the time.

One of my engineering profs in college said the way to become an instant billionaire is to create a better battery. The research still continues.

Saw this on the MMB and thought some of y'all might get a chuckle ...

"I say for Georgia Southern we drag an old double wide onto the dirt construction site at the north end zone. They'll feel right at home. Maybe add a '75 Pinto sitting on blocks."

You drink the water, then pee in the bottle before you throw it. That way, you can avoid a trip to the bathroom.

Not going to say some idiot has never done it at a GS game, but I do recall an incident the same year that bottles were thrown at the band by Appys that there were a batteries few thrown our way as well.

That's all well and good, but try selling a wet piece of cliff to a run of the mill fan for $50.

If it had been the fans who were being abused the plywood would have been in the far left corner, not in front of the team. Y'all can pass it off as "students who care" all you like, but the fact of the matter is the student section needs to be relocated, or the team benches swapped. The players and coaches can take it, but what our support staff and cheerleaders had to endure last year was ridiculous.

There was a hand-written letter that was sent to Southern after the App game last year and it was passed around in laughter. Contained the same accusations here... was that you?
