I don't do twitter or whatever it is that uses hashtags. As such, I am against anything with a hashtag. Yes, I am admittedly a borderline Luddite.
You must understand that my posting on Crossports is as cutting edge as I get.
To your larger point, too many of these things seem trite and hokey to me while fully acknowledging that my Classmates probably think most of my missives to them are hokey.

The point is, you may hate the hashtags, but as long as the team is going to have a social media presence and put them on Twitter, on their warm-up shirts, or any other gear, it shouldn't be lame. If the hashtag was #letslearnmore or #goodgrades, I wouldn't be a fan of them either. Keep it relevant to the audience, keep it simple, or don't do it at all.

It's not the team(s) coming up #RiseTogether and #WeWill , but rather Pine and the athletic department. You would think they would quit after #RiseTogether gained zero traction, but apparently not.

I may watch and criticize the teams, but it's only for on the field/court issues or successes. Any of this other cursory stuff I know lies squarely on the shoulders of ADNP and co. I doubt anyone on the team woke up and came up with the hash tags. It does align with some posters' criticisms of the department in being somewhat out of touch. Some folks might be encouraged by the ol' college try (pun intended), but i would rather they get it right and "nail it" or not do it at all. It's readily apparent when a 40 year old is trying to create a hashtag.

It's interesting because Maryland's hashtag is #WeWill. Hmmmm.

That sure seems young enough to me! Heck, there's a 70+ year old guy I've read about who does hashtags and seems to work for him. I just don't like them. It seems like a literal emoji.

Boys, it's not about those of us born in the 40s, 50, 60s or 70s. We need to accept and move on. And understand the average age in HC Athletics external oops is about 24.

Prior years data---- 2016= 780 vs 762= +18= + 2 per game Very surprising to see that we typically have more plays per game than our opponents I'm actually not surprised. It's an inexact science, but think back again to the time of possession stat and my response to it. Teams that run successfully (often against HC) will make solid progress down the field, while burning the clock against us. When HC is playing from behind, staying pass-wacky, throwing all over, the clock is stopping for any incompletion or first down. Think of playing behind with 5 yard check downs and receivers running out of bounds too. I think a really eye-opening stat could be time burned per play, or per possession. In that examination, you'd likely find our opponents have a higher number, or greater amount of time occupied per play, due to a couple of factors: -- A better balanced offense would include more running plays, and more successful running plays than HC -- Playing with leads against HC skews the plays more towards selecting the run, and a willing effort to burn the clock/waste time -- Relative to the second bullet point, HC playing from behind would be doing everything possible to run the maximum number of plays and waste the least amount of time (run OOB, call timeouts, hurry-up offense, etc) That's why I love the expression to "control" the clock rather than simply time of possession. It's nuanced, but I think it makes sense. Time per possession YEAR= HC SECONDS PER PLAY/OPPONENTS SECONDS PER PLAY 2012= 24/27 2013= 23/26 2014= 24/27 2015=23/26 2016=25/27 I was not able to incorporate any time from over times as the elapsed time is not recorded for those few periods. So what we have here is total time of possession divided by the number of plays. I rounded to the enarest whole second as to do otherwise would attribute to me a degree of precision that I do not warrant. Conclusion: our opponents definitely eat up more time per play--by about 10%, than we do

I agree 100% ACTP-- I love a punishing ground attack--I was Eddie Houghton's biggest booster. It's great when you have the ball on your own 20 with the lead and 4:00 to play and you can run a dozen running plays to get into the Red Zone and erase all hope for your opponent

Amen KY! Nothing better than a hammer in the backfield.
As a kid me and my friends used to run home from 11:30 am mass every Sunday so we wouldn't miss a second of the great Tyler Rose (Earl Campbell for the young folks) steamrolling every defender on the field.
Boy do I miss the football of those days...

Has anyone seen any practices? Is anyone standing out that came out of nowhere? Are there any disappointments so far? Are any freshman really standing out? Any news on first glance at a depth chart? Thanks in advance.

Those who know the HC staff's strategy could tell us whether or not there are times in the game where the object is to run as many plays as possible in a tight time frame so as to (a) tire the defense out and/or (b) limit the number of substitutions the defense an make.
My point being every possession the objective is not necessarily the same.
