You've never gotten a gift and kind of wondered what you were going to do with it?

I honestly think they do not know the exact specific game day role of the new Mustang.

What is so shocking about that?

You guys pretend these people are totally incompetent about gameday presentations,
game day music, game day half times...can't do anything right....but then assume they
have a 100% complete plan for the new Mustang horse that hasn't even been given to them yet.

These wild rescued horses have basically just got out of training....no one really knows
exactly for sure how they will react in a stadium in different possible roles.

If this was all some big master sinister plan with every detail worked out then why did
they not start from game one?

Statler: "If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck --- it's a duck"

So in other words you can not produce any credible verifiable source that says "Peruna will be replaced"?

Just more cheap talk....."someone said"...blah blah blah....as opposed to a letter written by our athletic director.

ps: to all you doom and gloomers about everything...If you guys think we suck so bad...our AD is a liar...our new additional mascot sucks...then what they hell are you doing here? Why spend time and effort on something you have such little faith in? Why not find something you can be excited about? Does that not make sense...it's kind of like people that for years and years and years complain about our their job sucks...well hell....where is the ball and chain around your ankle....if you hate basically everything about the program...why not move on?

Christmas is coming...can you re-gift a formerly wild mustang?

Does Orsini not have any skilled PR people on his staff? He really stepped on his d!ck on this one. That letter looks like it was written by a freshman student who copied a bunch of stuff from wiki.

First, Orsini should have told his football coach to keep his mouth shut until all the details were worked out. Then he should have announced a new partnership between Mrs. Pickens' Foundation and the school that will build awareness of the plight of the wild horses in the U.S.

All that said, I will be in the stands Saturday and will applaud and show my appreciation to Mr. & Mrs. Pickens with class.
