Fan Engagement

[Y.A.G Si Ye Nots]

Numerous schools across the country have weekly shows which allow fans to get to know players and coaches off of the field, see a day in the life of a player/coach, see things behind the scenes, see highlights, get info for the upcoming game, and even get a small segment on another sport. Does Marshall have anything like this?

It isn't just big schools that do this. Below, you can find an SEC school, a Sun Belt school, and an FCS school that produce these shows weekly throughout the football season.

MU actually did this a feed years ago following Yurachek for a day in the life. Would be good to do on consistent basis with other sports emphasized.
Email Chuck McGill he would be one who would coordinate.

The Yurachek one was a short, one-time thing. There are a ton of G5 and FCS schools who have weekly, 30 minute shows that provide so much more for their fans.

Goodness this would just increase the work load of those in the Shewey Building to put together something for Herd fans to watch on television. LOL

Hell, we can't even get a injury report.

Heck, Y.A.G., it would even be a marked improvement if, on his weekly football TV show, our head coach could give more than his routine 8 to 10 simple sentence responses to the same 5 or 6 basic softball questions posed by his program sidekick!

Yep I agree, we really do not use social media very well. It would be great if they put together a weekly video even. I know Ohio University has done that and it was nice with their radio play by play doing it.

Ole Miss' biggest audience from their weekly videos comes from Facebook. They also put it on YouTube. They don't put it on their website.

The other three schools put their videos on their official websites and YouTube. I know at least one of them gets their most views, by far, from people going to the athletic department page to watch these videos. They have an entire collection of athletic department videos.

Weekly coaches shows are as useless as tits on a boar and as exciting as a 5 lb bag of fertilizer.

Tell it like it is GreenDuke.

Watch it on television?!?!? Man, this is C-USA! It'd be on Facebook!

Weekly coaches shows are as useless as tits on a boar and as exciting as a 5 lb bag of fertilizer.

Even more when your arrogant coach thinks he is better and smarter than everyone there and gives “Bill Belichick answers”
