Was anyone able to go? How was it? How was the turnout?

Is the powerhouse slogan to signify the energy capital of the world or are we just calling ourselves powerhouse? Just curious.

Yes

I love it.

The layout was cool, the rock band I heard them play for 30 minutes and they were quite good. Good setups of stuff around. Saw the locker room for the first time. We need new one… turnout was good I think considering all the students were everywhere. I think this was a good event.

Edit: reread the post and it was horrible but my phone is cracked and I’m tired lol so apologies in advance.

Band played 2 hours and were very fun. The Techno Geeks I think. Great fun cheering the girls on in the football throw into 3 barrels.
Looked like about 3 full section of mostly students when they moved everybody to one side for the pep rally. Matt Thomas was master of ceremonies. CDH said a few good words, king encouraged everybody to come to every game. Dane Roy lead a birthday sing-a-long for King. Whomp Whomp brought everybody to their feet singing and waving! I had fun.
#GoCoogs!

There were really two events. one was outside with the students, games, concerts and such. The other event was in the club and was by invitation only.

Players from all 17 varsity sports signed autographs for fans. Tight end Shane Creamer and wide receiver Bryson Jackson traded football helmet for cowboy hats.

I went and took a tour of the stadium’s FB Locker Room for the 1st time.

They had the Ed O’s Outland Trophy and Andre Ware’s Heisman Trophy on display.

They played the intro video. It was set to “What up danger” (it was used in the Spider-Man multiverse movie). It’s not O Fortuna but it looks good.

I did not know there was a tour of the locker rooms…I missed that.

My pal, Roland Jimenez, told me about the locker room (self-guided) tour.

We asked John Noud of Coog Pride and he said locker room was open to the Cage Rage crowd–to just go down to the field and then up the home team tunnel. So we did. Bet they’ll do it again next year.

I don’t know why we don’t bring back O Fortuna, those were some amazing intros

I agree. It is timeless and just works. One issue I have with the new ones is that it just has no love for the past. What I liked about the Briles era O Fortuna is that it had clips from the past. The video tied the past and present. I recall that first two seasons those videos gave me chills of excitement. They could not fe found on YouTube at the time and so you had to be in your seats to catch it. It was magical, the new videos are just filler.
