Nice!
Mayberry!
Is the E8Nation meeting at the IC SJF game this year at butterfield?

Count AUPepBand out of the E8Nation meeting at Butterfield.....Pep will be on the Saxon bandwagon at Merrill Field encouraging the Saxons to humble the Pride.
On Saxon Warriors! On to Victory!

do we need to resched. this meeting?

Mr. Chair- your thoughts?

AUPepBand

No worries here. AUPepBand's allegiance to Saxon Nation, as one might expect, supersedes his involvement with E8Nation. Nevertheless, AUPepBand always happy to put in his two cents either before or after said meeting.

Alabama offers Saban somewhere between 4 and 5 million dollars. How many E8 programs could you run on that? Talk about desparation. But the bottom line is I guess they can get it all back in revenues of different kinds i.e.  stadium, merchandise, tv, alumni donations, etc. What is the typical walk up ticket price for an E8 or LL game? Parking extra?

At AU, parking is free at McLane Center parking lot (where tailgating takes place...but keep it to yourselves)...general admission had been $3 for years (AU students free, $1 other students) but this year it went up to $5 general admission at AUPepBand's recommendation. (a decision with which Pep concurred.) Ironically, attendance actually increased this season over last; price of admission has little or nothing to do with attendance in AUPepBand's humble opinion, so long as it's not outrageous.

Tickets for Stagg Bowl, Pep believes, were $15 at the gate. You'll be hard pressed to find a D3 game that charges more than the Stagg Bowl.

As the national title game, that only makes sense.

With many of the e8 nation not able to get to Butterfield on the day of Fisher/IC, what do we do now Mr. Chair?
Keep the meeting- or move it online?

I think we'll have a quorum for Fisher-IC, especially after last season.  All those that cannot be in attendance will be sorely missed.  Perhaps in subsequent seasons we can move the location to other games (except Norwich, sorry PG04).

Understood Mr. Chair.
Shall be a good time!
Sorry some of you will miss it!

It certainly does make cents. AUPepBand wouldn't cry if they charged more....while he's not attended a Stagg Bowl to date, the Alfred Area "Traveling Sports Fan," who's attended many Super Bowls and who collects sports memorabilia, at Pep's encouragement to check out the Saxons this year, caught the D3 football bug and attended the 2006 Stagg Bowl (Pep would have hitched a ride along had he known he was going) and is well worth the bucks spent.

I forgot to send out my Christmas suggestion from the LL to some of my E8 colleagues:

BOYS!! How the heck are we doing!  Wanted to say happy new year to all!

I can not believe that the last time I looked at the board we were on pages 1030 and 1031.  very very impressive E8ers.  The last time I was on here Jose was still, well, Jose. BUT, NOW!!! Chairman! congrats there viper.

Also, congrats to Kelly Gordon for getting All-American honors.  ONE MORE YEAR! ONE MORE YEAR!  ONE MORE YEAR!  (I promise we will throw the ball to you more than twice a game in 07)  And, with Donovan and Baez coming back, you will beat SJF and C.St. to cap off your career.
