What is the purpose of media day? Did anyone get any info at all. Questions were lame and the same as have been asked for 6 months. Waste of time in my opinion.

It is positive PR for the WAC and its schools. Of course, all questions asked by WAC personnel will be positive-leaning and try to create excitement. That's their job.
I'll say we were not told about WAC Media Day until last Saturday -- and there were no zoom opportunities for media not in The Woodlands like last year. So not sure how many media were actually at the event given such short notice.

The media questions were pretty short and it didn't seem like much representation by media personnel. I would hope the WAC football media days get better but don't hold my breath for it. Sorry that they didn't give you guys more notice and opportunity. |

What I found most interesting was the ACU helmet. Yeah, maybe strange, but it looked like a newer style with some safety features built in; IF that is actually what will be in use this year. |

That's foolish on the WAC's part for not getting word out for what should be one of their keystone events of the year. Secondly, with so many conference media days overlapping why not just host an FCS media weekend in Frisco headlined by Coach Prime?
The FCS should be using this time to distinguish itself from the FBS, which is swallowing itself whole with all this talk of megaconferences.

As I understand it, the WAC is in between communications people right now so that gives a reason why we weren't told about it.
And to what Outsider pointed out -- I was told the helmet is getting an updated look. I'd assume the one we saw on set will be what ACU's look like this season. |

I'll add that I liked the feedback our players gave about the team coming together already. It may just be media talk, but at least they are recognizing that need to gel and know one another. That has been a key aspect of my predictions for how well we do this Fall. We still have a long way to go between now and sept., but at least it looks like we are consciously working on it.

I am thrilled that we are picked to come in 2nd in the preseason poll. If we can beat SFA at home in the last game of the season, we have a great chance of winning the conference. |

One correction for the article. Stephen Lee was not head coach at UMHB. He was the OC there.

Disheartening to see the listing of conference rankings with only 5 teams still in the conference.... Kudos to Kobe Clark & Reese Moore for their pre-season selections.
I will admit a 5 team WAC football conference is a kick to the crotch. But there is not much we can do about other Universities actions. However, we can control our actions and how we go about our business. For that reason i like KP's mantra and staff recruiting philosophy. Only time will tell if it produces fruit. I guess if i was disheartened about anything, it would be the WAC's preseason prognostication of player talent. ACU's projected list of All Conference players is a real bummer. I know we lost some quality players, but i believe there is talent on this team. The WAC's perceived ACU player talent rankings says a lot about our past coaching regimes recruiting. So it really gets me jazzed for KP & staff that the WAC shows ACU to finish 2nd in the WAC...with least amount of perceived All Conference player talent. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for KP, staff & team success. GO CATS!!!!
Pre-season All Conference
SFA - 14 players Sam - 8 players Tarleton - 5 players
UTEC - 3 players ACU - 2 players
