"T"
Well you can't stay in 206. That room is taken. But feel free to stop by for some great games of Halo.Quote:

OK HAS ANYONE DECIDED ON GOING THIS WEEKEND . . . MY MANAGER BACKED OUT AND WILL NOT GIVE ME OFF . . . is anyone going this weekend?
I know I am not going to be able to get off for first session but I hope to get off for the later ones. Anyone know when exactly we would be there? I think I remember the groups last year showing up and promoting on thursday but I don't exactly remember because I was also taking summer classes at the time.Quote:

Weird. Cott 206 is my old room. (i think...I cant actually remember if it was 206 or 208, but I'm pretty sure it was 206)... but if you had it for the last 3 years, then you moved in right after I left it. I had it for 3 years, too.Quote:

BTW, just heard from Dane didn't go so hot. He had a view that were interested, but what we really need is a bunch of people painted acting a fool....
JFord
And I might have that room for 3 years after Orges.Quote:

haha . . . well like dane just said this was the honor one
Well that's discrimination
no not like that you know what i mean . . . i am an honors student but a lot of the other honor students would rather be in a book and want nothing to do with sports . . . sorry :/
Don't be sorry. Nothing against honor students, I just think they should all mix in together.
oh yea i think so too but i think he said there was only 3 people who came by and signed up
I just think JFord should paint up. :icon_wink
haha me too . . . come on jford
So we'll have 9 years of Cott 206 on the board. Cool.Quote:

Did you meet Casey Jones, freshman baseball signee from Lakeside High School in Sibley south of Minden if you were at the Thursday orientation session?
Anyone know how it went today?
I heard that there was a list about two pages long of people who wanted to sign up... Slightly better than last week if you ask me.. It looks like this thing is gonna work out. :icon_wink Oh, we're also in the final stages of NPO (FINALLY) and working on sother things as well.... I think that's it for now.
"T"
The NPO is taking a lot longer than we expected. That is great that we got some more people to sign up this time. I should be at the last 2 orientations.Quote:

Great news. I just found out that I have officially gotten off work for July 20th and July 27th.
That is GREAT news... Give Dane a holler, He'll be really happy to hear that!!
"T"
We got 52 today. Yes 52. 4 full pages. Next time we need to bring more signup sheets.
That's great guys! Ya'll better hope paint prices don't go up! :icon_wink
So what is the total signed up so far??? It would be nice to see a bunch painted up!
I am not sure how many they got on the first orientation. I think we had 30 last time. 52 more this time. I say we get 75 on the final orientation.
You've gotten 82 people to sign up for the Blue? Are you freaking kidding me? That's outstanding. We're going to need a ton of paint.
Take some pictures of what ya'll are doing to attract so much attention.
Spa City pal emailed the message from his daughter who is attending Southern Cal on media scholarship. What spirit!
My phone rings at 11:45 PM CST on Tuesday night. I answer it. My daughter is calling me from freshman orientation at USC. She and my wife are at a pep rally. It is a pep rally to teach the incoming freshmen the ropes of being a Trojan. The Trojan Band is there and they are playing " Fight On" and "Tusk". The yell leaders are there. Yes Kin (another Spa city buddy and Aggie), their male cheerleaders are called "yell leaders" just like at Texas A&M. The "Song Girls" are there in those tight white sweaters. Oh mama. AND they are all yelling, "Beat the Razorbacks." I heard it all via their cell phones. My daughter asks me, "How do you get a Bruin off of your doorstep?" "Pay him for the pizza." What am I to do? GO HOGS BEAT USC. FIGHT ON.
thats so awesome!!! I'm sorry I couldn't be there but I have been at the beach all week!! haha but i can't even go next time . . . damn surgery! haha
Yeah, anyone that wants to work an orientation, this is the last chance... It has really been a blast and we have gotten some really good response. The more people we have, the better! And thanks to those who have already helped, you've done a great job!
67 more today.
That's great guys!
149 + whatever ya'll got at the 1st orientation.......more butts in the seats!!!!......and we are gonna need a bigger 1st base dugout! :icon_wink
HOW TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!
Just remember that about 10 - 20 % will be hard core and only about 50 - 75 % will actually join (looking at past examples). However, I am stoked!!!!
We are also a NPO now recognised by the state! Woo Hoo!
We are also looking into a very possible corprate sponsor? (we have been in contact with someone interested)
There are so many things going on right now that my head is spinning...! I'm just praying that this keeps going. This is the legacy that we want to leave!
"T"
I know for a fact one of the guys that signed up today will be hardcore. He was one of my boys back in highschool and chill at the games with me (and tailgate before the games). We got lucky he changed his major at the last minute before school started and is now going to Tech instead of Centenary.Quote:

That would make a great poster.
And would be a good marketing tool for orientation next year.Quote:

I love the idea of a real pep rally at orientation. At my orientation they had recordings of the band and tried to teach us cheers. But I think having a real pep rally at the TAC, with the band, cheerleaders, and dance line. I would think that the blue might could orchestrate it.Quote:
