Question - are the limiting attendance this year at all ? In other words are the filling the stadium with no concern of numbers due to Covid mandates ?

I think they are running full steam ahead, and will adapt if necessary as we get closer to the opening date.

Current plan is full capacity, I don't honestly see that happening.

I would bet on 75%

ANNOUNCEMENT: I am taking questions for a mailbag segment to be posted on 4/15. Questions are to be turned in by 4/12.

Will not be talking to any coaches on this as they will not be available (all off campus)

that is one of the stupidest comments ever. WE will have the youngest, or one of the youngest teams in the nation. And you will be disappointed if they don't win more games than the last 2 seasons we've played combined. You are a fool. No I'm sorry, you are a damn fool.


Do you have any concept of what youngest team means in college football. Over half the team are true or redshirt freshman. They will be playing against teams with a significant portion of their players with 3, 4, and 5 years of college weight training. We will be outweighed and out muscled at nearly every position.

You are a clueless fool.

Did you kick your dog after that post?

I would be jumping for joy with 6 wins next season, but that is absolutely not my expectation. 3-4 wins and looking decently competitive in at least most of the rest. Like, I just want to be able to watch ODU football again without it just being ugly.

Thanks for asking. I didn’t have to. Showed him your post and sadly he died laughing!

Set your standards low! I figured you either kicked your dog or slapped your wife after such an angry post.

Pretty stoked about this. Happy to have 4 tickets and that they’re getting more creative with promotions.

Kind of bitter sweet for me this year. First time not getting season tickets. So excited for the season and to see the new team none the less.

I kicked my dog for good measure. It is a discussion board guys, be nice and be friendly. We are entitled to our delirious and hopeful moments. 6 Wins would be amazing and I hope we exceed all expectations and it comes true.

Wood said we'll have "scores of fans in the stands." Will that be 50 score? 100 score? Or 1100 score? Will the team score? Confidence level in all of it is very low.

Did an article on top three in the QB battle- https://fifthquarter.net/g5/c-usa/old-do...-dominion/

Question:
Would you all be interested in a list of high schools that have produced the most Monarchs since going FBS?

I think that data if including walk-ons will show, the Monarchs have a lot of local kids. The most walk-on are from in-state to save tuition cost. I wouldn't mind seeing it, to see if there are pipelines.

They are going forward with the thought the stadium can be 100% full this Fall. I think we all know (and the ODU folks know) that may not be the case but that is the way they are moving until they are told otherwise.

I think a lot will depend on the covid variants that are spreading. As someone said, "save college sports, wear a mask."

Reese great article on the QB’s. I would be interested in your opinion on who the first team WR’s and TE are?

Did I miss it or did Obbi Sanni, Fr running back not get any touches?

Reese- know anything about how this guy looks?

Probably RB5. Wouldnt be surprised to see him redshirt. Looks very raw at practice.
