Home Opener against South Carolina State

[rockdog]

Sorry if this is a repost, but I did not see it mentioned. I read earlier that Tech has SCState as the home opener for the cost of $325k.

I knew we'd play an FCS. I was just hoping for an interesting OOC game at the Joe.

SC State, a HBCU school. Going to interesting if they bring their mascot. Folks would think we have two Champs on the field

Look-a-like!

That seems expensive.

Im just happy its a team we usually don't play. I always like to see random, different teams (part of the reason I enjoyed the NIT in basketball, Iona and CMU were different and cool to play).

I got tired of my offseason threads about the need for our own custom mascot. Now we are playing a team with the same mascot. Fun times.

I think we played them in NCAA playoffs back in the day.

Who remembers the 1984 clash of the mascots: our Champ vs SC State's bulldog?

Same mascot and similar colors. Their colors: garnet red and blue.

Has anyone ever mentioned that we need a custom mascot outfit for Champ?

I agree but I don't think I've heard this story before.

It's been mentioned many times on BBB.

We paid Southern $350K last year. Not sure how much we netted.

We paid NSU $150K in 2014. We probably did okay on that one not counting the fire works cost.

$325K for a scrimmage to open 2016 and our only OOC home game.

Fail by our AD.
