1. Our defense the first ten minutes was fantastic
2. Kerry Rosenboom gone and we have no biceps
3. Yes Coach, we know the crowd makes a difference
4. Have we ever had anybody who could stay w Xavier Johnson?
5. First live game in years, and it was a barnburner
6. A large popcorn is what usta be a medium popcorn
7. Did not see a single face I recognized
8. We shot too many damn floaters
9. I think our dance team was good, but I was focused elsewhere
10. Frankly, I prefer Quick Change

A couple of thoughts:
4. MAYBE Tekele
7. Have you visited a retirement home recently? Worlds largest one is Koch Arena
8. what you really meant was “ missed too many one foot shots”… I watched a 5th grade game earlier with about the same bunny %

Seemed like best crowd since Covid. Idk who said 4,000, but that’s 6 of every 10.5 seats empty. You need to check your eyes.

[shock]

I mean multiple people who were actually there said 7000 seems right. I agree with them too

That’s really good to hear. This team deserves to have 10,500 every night.

Yup. Best crowd this year.

Nope gotta get to the arena to verify yourself!

But I'm 6 hours away. Have a damn heart man!

I have a hard time believing there were 7000 there from what they showed on TV.

Believe it. I thought there were more than that but the upper ends were pretty empty. More students there than usual.

Tekele would have destroyed Johnson. Ronnie could be that for us; he has the instincts but does he have the MTXE?

I have no idea, but the cheer team does have a new coach this year. Could be her maybe?

Nothing against this one, but pretty sure that’s not her. Can’t recall who, but one of our esteemed posters has a daughter on one of the teams; hopefully he’ll chime in.

That was me, my daughter was a cheerleader last 2 years. She decided to focus more on studies this year. Plus she is working 2 jobs as well. Although she is still close with them all.

Only other cheer coach I am aware of is Tatum. She is a former cheerleader who has been an assistant the last 2 years.

This was a picture from last year. But Tatum is the person on the far right not in uniform

If that's not who they are speaking about then perhaps it's a dance coach.

Oh, yeah, pretty sure she was videoing the dance team, so very likely.

Sounds like it then.

OK. You have confirmed WstateU's post to be factual.
Thanks!
