A little pre-season practice. And a little change in the color scheme.

All players on FHSU are from Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Iowa. Tallest player is 6'3" and then two are 6'1", one 6'0". Shortest is 5'5".
I know they are in the top 5 of DII, but on paper, this is going to be ugly. But a great experience for the Tigers.

Tame those Tigers! Vanquish Victor! Although this semester [2010] marks the 10th anniversary of Victor E.'s birth, the FHSU mascot has existed in various forms since 1914. There is no conclusive historical record of its creation. Some evidence suggests it may have been the brainchild of President W.A. Lewis, who served from 1913 to 1933 and hailed from Missouri. Through many years there was no officially designated version of the FHSU Tiger, so many varieties came and went, with two or three or more versions of the Tiger sharing the stage in any given year.
In 1999, President Hammond directed the university's Integrated Marketing Committee to develop a high-energy, expressive, confident Tiger. Art Director Mary Ridgway modeled an official new Tiger graphic based on the old Tiger head that was emblazoned at that time on the basketball court. After the new Tiger graphic was tested with students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends of the university -- and a few tweaks made -- President Hammond unveiled the first official mascot in the university's long history in a public ceremony during the spring 2000 semester. A few months later, based on suggestions from students, the new mascot was given his name, Victor E. Tiger. Alumnus Larry Dreiling, who played the role of the FHSU mascot as a student, purchased the first Victor E. Tiger mascot suit for the university. |

Sorry I'll miss this one--and a few more. Football season, you know. And I have a group of fans that I watch football with.
Glad we have YouTube! and the Territory. I'll be reading your posts.

Does anyone know if "all access" games are available recorded or is live streaming the only option?

Soon. Very soon. The wait is almost over. My ticket is downloaded to my phone. I am ready! Some questions may be answered. Although it is an exhibition so not sure if the starting lineup we see tomorrow will be the one we see against
Arkansas.

I'll have technology anxiety until game time rolls around and UC doesn't screw it up. Amazing how often streaming services screw it up. I know, I know. We have a game so shut up grumpy.
