2019 Spring Practice

When hardcore fans like me skip out 2 years in a row and forgot it was on TV and never saw a snap, that's the epitome of being disengaged and disinterested. We used to tailgate and never missed it

Same here.

All you missed on tv was the announcers taking. It was pathetic, barely showed any of the plays

I don’t mind the talking just as long as they are showing what is going on on the field. Preferably zoomed out a bit so people can see what’s going on. Nobody cares what the commentators are wearing or look like.

One thing I wish. If they made a fundamental change in marketing/fan engagement, then tell us fans about the change(s) and the why. Then we could better understand.

Swanson went to the foundation and they hired a new person for fan engagement

Well, I would encourage the department to gather input from fans (poll, focus group, whatever), take that information, analyze it, develop recommendations, present results to fans, implement plan. Or maybe they are okay with everything.

Here's my top 3 priorities for them to focus on:

1) Win championships
2) Win championships
3) Win championships

So, you’re saying we should make our own fun?
We should be able to handle that

I think pretty much everybody would be happy if they did the spring "whatever it is" on a Saturday at 4:00 and opened up tailgating from 10;30 until 3;30. And if KVLY would show the plays and have the announcers talk in the background instead of just showing 4 guys talking for and hour and a half. And if the players wanted to throw in an autograph signing for kids under 12 on the morning of, it couldn't hurt. There... I fixed it.

One more step. Tell the athletic department and KVLY.

I think in their minds they are "fixing it" because this is their solution \/\/\/\/\/\/

They might be easing out of the spring game business...

I know the coaches view the spring game as a nuisance and I'm guessing that had a lot to do with how hamstrung KVLY was with showing the on field action (purely a guess on my part). I would also guess that in 5 years there won't be any kind of public scrimmage at the end of spring ball anymore. By making it less and less of an event they'll ease the shock of when they eventually don't have it anymore. This is a surely a foolproof plan and I'm sure there will be little to no bitching on Bisonville about it when/if it does happen.
