Was originally just a "media day" set for Saturday, with team photo and group shots.
Originally, the day was set for just internal stuff, photos, video head shots for the jumbo tron and a few other things. The weather threat early in the week was one reason for the hold on an announcement. Weren't sure if it was going to go ahead or not.

I'm afraid the lack of notice is going to be a major factor. I know I won't be able to be there, but, had I been able to plan I probably would have been.

Agreed. This has never been attempted before, but the new staff thought it would be a good idea. Not sure when the decision to make it open to the public was made, but my impression is that it wasn't the original plan. 4:00 on a Sunday is nap time for a lot of folks in Cleveland County.
From what I heard Friday, the Bulldog Club has some ideas for a fall sports event next year that would be similar to what goes on at South Carolina. All the fall teams gathered at the same time. Working around camp schedules might be a challenge.
Student activities did have a nice pep rally for the student body this past week, with a nice turnout from folks on campus. Good to hear and see some excitement building around campus. I would expect a good crowd Saturday night.

I like the idea of gathering all of the fall teams. At Carolina, they introduce all of the teams at the halftime of a game. If it was carefully scheduled and coordinated, parents of players of other programs would want to attend the game and it could make for a really large crowd.

Had a handful for a turnout. Would love to see this planned well for a big community turnout, could be a great thing. Look forward to seeing everyone under the trees Saturday. Hope all have a good trip.

It was kind of cool. There were a few people out there. I can see it being better next year. We are ready for Saturday..
