FUBeAR went to the Hartness’ house one time on “Feed the Paladins” day. But it must not have been this branch of the Hartnesses or they just hadn’t cashed in yet. It was nice, but not future luxury hotel nice. Maybe that’s where the skill Players like Standiford Jenkins got to go eat.

Why is media day not in Asheville? Not complaining it is in Greenville, just curious.
No reason to have it in Asheville. Only connection between Asheville and the SoCon is the basketball tourney. Recent ones have been in Spartanburg where the SoCon office is.FurmanFan23 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 26, 2023 10:17 amWhy is media day not in Asheville? Not complaining it is in Greenville, just curious.

Interested to hear the interviews with Coach Hatcher discuss the team this fall where there's no roster posted and most of the new players are transfers.
Samford’s 2023 Football Roster can be found here - > https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/sid ... t_Book.pdfThe Jackal wrote: ↑Wed Jul 26, 2023 11:36 amInterested to hear the interviews with Coach Hatcher discuss the team this fall where there's no roster posted and most of the new players are transfers.
30 of their 47 (63.8%) new Players are transfers of some variety (JUCO, Grad, ‘Regular,’ Prep School - any Player that did not come to Samford directly from a ‘traditional’ High School / High School Football program.)

Hopefully we will find out the TV for this year. Anything besides espn+? Havent decided to go to Atlanta or not. Since KSU is playing as an FCS independant this year there may be no tv for that game.
5 minutes into Media Day and it's virtually unwatchable. Like its officiating, SoCon production is apparently 3rd-rate as well. First minute Yannity was talking but all you could hear was the SoCon background music. Went the new commissioner was interviewed, nobody's mics were picking up. Eventually they had to share a wired microphone, but it was hardly adequate considering they are doing the interview in a room FULL OF TALKING PEOPLE. They can't figure out how to filter out ambient noise or use a lapel mic? Hopefully by the time CCH is on they will have figured something out.
Things I did manage to decipher:
-New Commish vows to visit every campus to understand their challenges
-A new promotional campaign is on the way "SoCon Saturdays" to promote attendance and viewing in our region
-He's OK wilth NIL but sees it having a negative impact on recruiting at present

wonder if the media day was run by the white hat from the Samford game.
