John’s biased aside, I think a productive discussion can be made amongst this community (perhaps a separate thread) on transparency. On to game day.

[FLAMEfromBAMA]

So is it too much to ask of the ASOR staff to have a full write up after this game giving a good summary of:
Traffic Flow (Vehicles and Foot)
Crowd Size (Student Turnout)
Video Board Use
Wing/Food Quality & Wait Time
Actual Game Play
Sound Quality
New Student Tailgating Behind DeMoss Turnout
Overall Pregame Environment Quality
Etc.

I know that’s more than just the normal game recap but I along with many others would love to see all those addressed in a post rather than just in the forums here!

Just because you prefer transparency doesn’t mean that is the “to God Be The Glory Way” and everything else is a cover up. To begin with, you don’t know if anyone is suspended. Secondly, why do you believe you, as a fan, have an absolute right to know if a player is suspended? Especially if such suspension wasn’t related to anything major and “was no big deal”. Thirdly, what rule is he violating if he is doing what you say he is doing? The Jonathon To God Be The Glory Rule? Finallly, whats the big deal with a little gamesmanship? It’s what coaches do.
I get it. He’s an odd duck. His personality isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. There are ways he handles players that give me pause. But he certainly hasn’t done anything that is immoral as far as I know. If all is as you say, I have 0 problem with the way he handled it. I’m not sure how that compromises his “to God Be The Glory “ approach but then again I’m not looking to fault him for every decision he makes either.

This is why I:

1) Acknowledged my bias on the front end and
2) Posed the original post as a question.

I know my bias clouds my view at times and makes me view things more negatively than they actually are at times. My goal was to start a conversation about transparency and gamesmanship as a Christian organization. I’d had that conversation with others throughout the day yesterday (albeit with many who have the same bias as me) and wanted to bring it here.

Thank you for the actual rational response and not just name calling and questioning fandom.

Oh. You’re also a poopey Head Trump hater who has strayed from LU’s mission and should be ashamed of yourself and return your diploma (sorry I left that out)

Will obviously do the best we can. Be sure to follow a_seaofred on Instagram as we will be updating our story throughout the day. This will focus primarily on the pregame festivities. Will be hard to address some of the items you mention such as concessions. It gets rather busy during the actual game.

[Sly Fox]

I nominate Haize & CJ for the Concessions Report. They seem to be all over this component of the experience.

I’ll be watching from the comfort of my new sofa. But you know when I go to a game I’m going to bring a strong and trustworthy concession report!

Of course

[BJWilliams]

Besides, they won't be using the concessions stand. Theyll be getting fed in the press box.

[soccer7]

Does anyone mind having a tailgate rasher today? I'm heading out the door to make the 2:30 hour drive by myself and would love to hang out/get to know with a few people before the game.

[thepostman]

My arrival will be slightly delayed due to a personal matter but I will be there with the guy I watched many games with as a student which included my first LU football game as a freshman 15 years ago.

Remembering LU football back then helps me remember how far we have come.

[BJWilliams]

Also, I wish I could find that hype video from some years ago that had that Saliva song...itd actually be a fitting choice again for our debut in "the show" today

[FlamesHighontheTide]

It is GAMEDAY FAM. I hope yall enjoy the game today and this first football Saturday. Those of you traveling be safe going to and leaving the game tonight. Let's light up the Monarchs and enjoy this monumental moment in the history of LU football!!

GAMEDAY! FBS FOOTBALL COMES TO LYNCHBURG!

[FLAMEfromBAMA]

Did I see right that their tallest CB is only 6’ tall? If so that should really bode well for AGG unless they just plan to keep him shaded by the safety allowing double coverage.

You know if we're hosting anyone for there official or unofficial visits?

Got my red polo and red tshirt on today because "on Saturdays we wear red" (never thought I'd see myself using a Mean Girls reference to describe my LU fandom...)

[ballcoach15]

Ball coach has arrived at Williams Stadium.

Good parking spot between baseball field and LUPD.

[Cider Jim]

Ballcoach, isn't that a designated TAILGATING lot? Is so, I hope you have a parking pass.

[ballcoach15]

No, only eastern half of lot is tailgating.

No info on the Team Suspension?

[ballah09]

Wow. Just speechless.

Shaa is a stud so I don't think we'll miss King. But Wells, Jackson and Espinoza? Like you can't keep the shenanigans during the off season?
