Re: Let's pile on Gillin!!!!!
It would be great to either creat something that would become a tradition or bring back what we have abandoned. A tradition does not change every year or so. Seems like we have droped everything. Also put me in the group who feels rollneers is very middleschool. We don't need to copy other schools. We are a brand. Do we want to change that to we USED to be a brand?

Re: Let's pile on Gillin!!!!!
We had the start of something with "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" for awhile, but then they started playing it at random times when there wasn't enough time for the crowd to get into it. It seems like we self implode every time we stumble onto something, but then we try to force other thing that our brain trust comes up with. Fans have been very vocal about the things they want. Just listen to them!

I do wonder if he reads the board. I would absolutely love (not sarcasm) if I had a place where people openly shared their opinions about my workplace. Maybe he just sees us all as overly whiney.

DG reading social media is one thing. Actually being open to new ideas and taking action on them is another.

As someone limited to TV only for watching the games, my focus would be to ask Gillin to increase the quality of the equipment and watchability. I'm an old(er) head and like hearing DJ and Avery. It's like comfort food. But the wide angles and sometimes blurry picture quality is so noticeable compared to even some other G5s on ESPN+, it takes away from the game in a not insignificant way.

Re: Let's pile on Gillin!!!!!
I think this falls more on the Sunbelt. Doug/App has no economic reason to make home games better broadcasts. App/Doug is better off making it so bad that people show up and buy a ticket. That being said, ESPN and the Sunbelt should put standards on each school for the away team to make certain spots in each stadium for cameras. I hate our basketball feed but there is literally no money in it for App to make it better.rbarthle17 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 05, 2025 2:46 pmAs someone limited to TV only for watching the games, my focus would be to ask Gillin to increase the quality of the equipment and watchability.
