Not that I was able to watch it but common sense would say this is just PR for the fans to feel close to the team for those who chose se to attend not for tv ratings!! I got my updates on Twitter.. sounded pretty good for a fan practice!

I get that but if you are gonna televise it you need to do a better job.

Same deal as last year. You would think a professionally run team would have a better setup and plan for how these things are run and shown on tv. 

Same thing with the coverage at Back Together at Wofford. Quit watching after about 10 minutes

They just opened a Bojangles here in San Antonio for the first time and it’s a goddamn tragedy. They don’t even sell chicken. Just Supremes. And the don’t have Cajun pintos or mashed potatoes. And they want 54 dollars for 20 freaking Supremes. Absolutely shameful. 

Screenshot 2023-08-01 at 16.27.49.jpeg

I was waiting to finally see this.  Bojangles got acquired by a private equity firm a few years ago and their CEO recently said something about "wanting to get out of the chicken business" and "into the experience business".  I had read an article somewhere that they were going to start opening restaurants without bone-in chicken.  So there we go.

It's so stupid.  Bojangles had a simple formula: you go into some dingy dimly lit restaurant with wood paneling everywhere and you sit at a rickety table and eat greasy fried chicken and biscuits and drink sweet tea and then you go home and irradiate your toilet.  I guess there aren't enough business press buzzwords that can be affixed to that so somebody had to go fug it up.

I mean if you want to irradiate your toilet just go to KFC. Buy some chicken and MD: Sweet Lightning. 
I swear Sweet Lightning glows.

This production is terrible. How many times are they going to say Bryce made a great throw and then not show it. 

I stopped watching midway through. The interviews that I don't give a poo about, and the lack of consistently following the actual plays was too much. Catering to the casual fan way too much.

I’m aware not everyone is able to attend in person but fan fest is and always has been an in-person experience.

It’s also a pretty boring couple hours altogether so I can only imagine the torture of trying to stream it.

I will say last night was one of the better run and more exciting ones I’ve ever attended. Weather was perfect and the fireworks show at the end was top notch.

I turned it on for about 5 minutes.  It was pointless to televise that.   Just put the interviews online.  A zoomed in view of the QB and then the announcers having to tell you everything that happened off screen is just dumb.

They did that after the 2015 season. Fireworks are always the best.

 

You should come to a Durham Bulls game on a Friday or Saturday if you love fireworks. It's legit 15-20 minutes long of ridiculous fireworks.

Little Q&A going on

 

Well we got some damn dawgs in the secondary so its not that surprising that our rookie QB isnt exactly slicing and dicing them right now.  Its good that Bryce gets to go up against them everyday though.

      What's wrong with Damien Lewis? He played pretty well last year.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Icege · Posted

      Official NFL Cuts Tracker Deadline for roster cuts is Tuesday, August 26th. At this moment (Friday, August 22nd) the only interesting names I see are... K Caden Davis (BUF) RB Ameer Abdullah (SF) WR Equanimeous St. Brown (SF) WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (NO) LB Khaleke Hudson (TEN) Abdullah, St. Brown, Peoples-Jones I don't exactly think we should cut anybody for but it was just interesting seeing those names. Khaleke Hudson was on the Panthers' practice squad last year I believe and might have even gotten called up? And of course, Caden Davis just because of the question mark at kicker this season for the team.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I'll say 6/10. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole. For all the hype surrounding Sanders/Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
