We're in good company. Nebraska did it earlier this year.

I hope they at least cited the original using correct APA format!

That literally makes me ill. Between the stolen audio and the clips of empty stadiums... does ODU marketing run entirely on student employees? Im not even kidding. I envision it as if theres one overworked adult probably working 70 hours a week overseeing half a dozen students each working 10 hours a week to come up with this stuff. We're a national university playing FBS football... for goodness sakes, act like it.

We are. We're acting like Ohio State.

That's good

You think that's bad, I heard that the band had to scrap its halftime show that ends with a sousaphone player dotting the I in ODU.

I think it's a Russian hack. No one from ODU would be that stupid.....right?

Then again, like they say in show biz, any publicity is better than none, or something like that.

I've used StubHub and SeatGeek multiple times. Seatgeek is prettier but I had an issue once where I didn't get a link to the ticket until the the morning of the game. (when I bought 2 months in advance and was staying at a hotel without a public printer. Had to go to Kinkos)

The last FB game I went to in Norfolk I bought my ticket I bought my ticket from StubHub at the very top of section 104. The people with the neighboring seats had never seen that seat sold before.

So its been brought to my attention that athletics marketing had nothing to do with the creation or release of the hype video in question. So my frustration was aimed at the wrong folks. My mistake.

So who is responsible for it?

It was for the recruiting handle on twitter. I would guess a GA or position coach.

There is (was? ) an new recruiting guy from UTenn. He's most likely responsible for the account.

Here's your guy. He has an ODU header, but can't be bothered to find a new photo that doesn't scream allegiance to UT.

Foreman field needs to be packed against Rice. Im not talking about an "ODU Sellout". I mean 20,000 loud and proud for the whole game!

The easiest way to do this is to close the terrace and let all the liquor hounds bring their cocktails to their assigned seats. Not judging, I go at halftime for a beer but am back in my seat for the 2nd half kickoff.

Then they will probably spill liquor on us!

The printed story in the paper today lists the game time as 3:30pm...
Since the actual game time is 2:00pm, I wonder how many people will shoe up an hour and 1/2 late...
Nice work.
