Bleeding Red and Blue
You know your the last in the SMC athletic department staff when you are assigned to oversee the Band and Cheer http://www.smcgaels.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=21400&ATCLID=1506642 [scroll to very bottom - even club sports get higher on the list]Cheer Page... no photos of those current cuties... https://admin.xosn.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=21400&ATCLID=1483268Band..."The first rule for Sports Band is to have fun." [Are we having fun?]https://admin.xosn.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=21400&ATCLID=1483267And the don't even identify AD leadership for the Mascot [the old Mascot, BTW] https://admin.xosn.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=21400&ATCLID=1483270and Gael Force http://www.smcgaels.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=21400&ATCLID=1483263 . We have talked ourselves blue and red in the face over the series of mis-steps, faulters, lack of creativity, failure to get a strong visual identity to a strong Gael lad. We offered bag pippers (chime in Webfoot, Mount Joy, et al), we've offered to commission a SMC tartan [or borrow a good match to our colors], we've offered to pay for and properly assemble a young strapping lad to be in a paid position. We've offered to meet and train Male Yell Leaders.... It just goes on and on and AD Mark Orr won't touch it, identify it, and just f'n ignore until we all die... it's how they have handle the football alumni, too...Perhaps a series of emails to morr@stmarys-ca.edu will at least fill his in box for a day.... [delete, delete, delete is the sound, with an email sent to the lowest staffer to see what can be done.... followed by nothing, yet again.] It's a whole area they are just not even comfortable discussing let alone acting upon. Tragedegy met with indifference. Ironically, even more sad is that a Gael Mascot, SMC tartan should figure prominently as we approach next year's Sesquicentennial - 150th anniversary of the College.Thanks, Freak for freaking me out about such a dismissal and disenchanting topic, yet again... it's been about 6 years now....
