TU today says we get $150,000 plus travel expenses for Hawai'i, and $350,000 to play Marshall. We got $500,000 to play Baylor.

I agree. I for one have no problem with the team playing two back to back FBS schools.  It'll be a good experience for the team and the program.  This spring ball is important. It'll help all of the new guys acclimate with the existing team culture and there are a bunch of new guys in Spring Ball camp.   Also a few JUCO players won't join the team until they graduate in May.   Pre-season camp should be great.

Spring was good BUT 4 starting O Line were out injured - finishing recoveries from surgery or just injuries.  Gave backups lots of work. The rest willbe back for summer camp.   The safety from Temple has looked great but did not take part in full contact practice the day before the spring game and did  not play in the spring game.

UAlbany site doesn't list it on the schedule yet, but Marshall shows our game Sept. 2 at 6 pm on ESPN+

It is "We Are … Marshall" Day. looks like they're trying to get every local group to fill the stadium for a FCS opponent

-      The 2023 season kicks off with Marshall Athletics bringing the entire community together. In addition to Marshall's Staff and Faculty Appreciation day, Huntington-area youth are also invited to represent their local groups, including sports teams, spirit teams (cheer and dance) and other local youth groups. In accordance with the Marching Thunder, it will also be Band Day where local high school bands are invited to come play with the Marching Thunder. It is the perfect way to kick off the 2023 season!

Bob, do you like small hikes at all?  If so, Manoa Falls is a really easy and pretty hike about 10 min from campus. 

If anyone else is going to this game, I have a host of Oahu and Maui experience, can give advice on some to do's based on activity level / wishes.

From an Instagram posting, the members of the Football Team are to report tomorrow, Tuesday, 07-25-2023.  Based on last week's attendance at the Football's team's function at Moreau Lake State Park most if not all are already here.

A-HOLES. As performances and attendance go down in ALL UA sports; what better way to improve both, raise the commitment from long time supporters??????????😂. AND raising the commitment level in general {in times of declining interest & performance} is a "GREAT" marketing plan--NOT🤑🤑.

ps Does this mean the END off the so called "PRIORITY POINTS PLAN", which has been a mystery anyhow since Justin Brown left???????????

To clarify: you paid a $350.00 donation per season ticket plus your seat price for your seat location as I only paid $275 donation per seat times 2 ($550) for my two seats plus the seat price.  Have you spoken with Nate recently?

[alum73]

The website says all tickets are $100.

Donation for gold is $250.
