Again, jealous you would rather support ETSU than UT. I had someone yell "Go Bucs" at me with my ETSU gear on Saturday.

If you were the person that was walking in front of the UT band and heard it, that someone was me!

I come back to the board today and find it has been highjacked by conversation of UT, the possibility of BMS giving turf to ETSU and next year the atmosphere will be great at the football games. What the heck?

The BUCS have a game THIS WEEK, this SEASON is just getting underway. How about supporting the BUCS now. Who cares what the ut crowd says. We will take care of them in Nov. Hopefully BMS will donate the turf and lockers but neither of these subjects have any bearing on the game this week or this years season. What does have a bearing on the future of BUCS sports is the FAN SUPPORT.

IF BUC NATION REALLY WANTS A TOP NOTCH PROGRAM, THEN ITS TIME TO PUT UP OR SHUT UP

I am sorry I will refrain from ever converating again. My bad. please forgive.

You can support both UT and ETSU. I have season tickets to each, and I wear either colors proudly, having graduated from both institutions.

I think the more ETSU alumni sport the colors of blue and gold, the more the region will include the Bucs in their passions. As the original poster stated, it's up to us to take this thing to new heights.

I want to thank all the Bucs Fans that came to the game. The pregame tailgating and Buc Walk was super.

If you don't think fans can make a difference in a game or a program, just take a look at what Jajuan Stinson ( he got an Effort Play award for his td run in the fourth quarter ) had to say.......

Stinson said " the winning mindset for ETSU began to spread among the players during the pregame Buc Walk. We saw how many people showed up and I got it in my head that we had to win the game. We were all very hyped".

Those of you who were at the game, give yourself a well earned pat on the back.

Again..................... Thank YOU BUC FANS, YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE.

The Buc Walk was nice. After the first game last year, there were times when very few people made it out to the Buc Walk. The one at BMS was a better atmosphere.

I have said this before but I believe when they stadium is built this will get worked out better. They can make sure to have the Buc Walk go through spots where most of the tailgaters will be. The way they have to do it at Science Hill makes it tough to get all the tailgaters to come.

IMO a lot of folks are waiting for the the on campus stadium to open to even come to a game!

I predict all Southern Conference home games next year in the new stadium will be sold out.

If they are waiting for for next year, they are not Buc Fans. That is a stupid excuse.
