sorry i misread the date. I'm really just looking for insight on who's coming. what players are leaving and if anyone knows if we're losing more of our staff.

Spring game is scheduled for 4/27, according to the PSC emailing I received today:

Panthers have hired a new offensive line coach.

He is Ryan Clanton...a young coach from Ventura, CA. He played for Oregon when they were competing for national titles and was in a couple of NFL camps.

Most recently was OL coach and OC for Ventura College. The Panthers had been recruiting a QB from that school who signed with Weber State. Wonder if we got to know him thru that recruiting.

My guess would be the Scott Frost connection.

[clenz]

Yup.

Frost planting a guy for a couple years to prove himself and then end up at Nebraska.

If that plans lands us a couple real good coaches I'll take it

Same weekend as PSC fundraiser. Always fun to watch. I usually focus on the defense.

Yes - different weekend this year, you are correct.

I believe there is a concert in the McLeod Center on the normal weekend, and looking at the map online there are plenty of good seats available. Woof.

That was same situation with the Brad Paisley concert, plenty of seats available and he didn't sell out. Don't think Justin Moore will sell out either, despite having cheaper tickets. I think that doesn't speak well of the Cedar Valley when a big name artist can't sell out the McLeod Center. I know UNI or the McLeod center took a loss with Paisley. Might be a while before we see other big name acts in the Dome or McLeod.

The financial loss on Paisley was split between GBPAC and an outside promoter. Athletics had nothing to do with it, thank goodness. I have no idea where the risk is on Justin Moore but the cost to bring him in wouldn't have been anywhere near what Paisley was.

They've done well with the various country acts they've had in the Dome the last few years but obviously didn't book one this year. The problem becomes that if you want to make the buildings decent concert venues, you have to hire an outside management company to run the builidings full time and I'm not sure that there would be a company willing to do that in an area this size or that we'd be willing to give up the control.

Why would an outside company have to run the buildings full time just to bring in one or two concerts a year?

Agreed. Makes no sense especially since UNI already has a full time building services department. Also, I have met this person in charge of this as I interviewed for a job in that department last summer. Even though i did not get the job, I feel they are doing a great job with the budgetary restrictions they face.

The concert world is totally different. Many 'artists' have exclusive deals where they only perform in buildings that are run by certain management companies. That's what makes it hard when you're trying to do one or two per year. You really limit who you can get for what you can pay and still make money on the back end.

I certainly don't think they should look at an outside company, I'm just saying if they ever wanted to get serious about concerts, they'd almost have to.
