Like most, if not ALL of us, I ❤️ Doc and the Green Machine, and they are sooo important to the game experience. However, I'm hoping that they BRING IT with some new material. Not a completely new lineup of songs, but it's at least time to update the playlist. The Peppas have brung it with new tracks over the past few years, time for the Green Machine to step it up.

Uh-oh... we might be in trouble here. There's some new GenA slang out there that may not play well nice with GMU...

[A] “Mason,” a derogatory-ish term for an archetypical mischievous White boy who plays baseball, uploads videos of himself pulling pranks, and latches onto internet trends and lingo.

I did notice that Kanye West becoming "problematic" knocked a bunch of songs out of the Green Machine rotation. Would love to see them weave in some new material.

During the game with Alfredo the dance team sat next to the DJ booth. Perhaps, they along with the cheerleaders are gonna make stuff happen in the student section?

I got an email from the College of Engineering and Computing yesterday. They're hosting a pregame reception with food, drinks, and t-shirts before the Jacksonville game on the 18th for their 40th year anniversary. After the reception everyone walks over to the game.

I believe this is the first time I've received any communication from them about anything to do with athletics. I got one of my old coworkers coming out for the event. Hopefully it draws more nerds out (queue the meme).

I got the same email since I did that school for grad school and then the comment from my friend (who is an alum of the engineering school) was that Mason was cheap because they didn't provide tickets included with the event, lol.

I am glad they are having the event. I think School of Business has always done events but I am not sure if it includes tickets. Either way, its good.

Food, drinks, and a t-shirt and they still ask for more. Your buddy sounds like a bum lol

Hopefully they do! I know at least they will have a few rows of students standing up to hopefully help the atmosphere.

But figured cheap a** mason would do it on campus somewhere
They have a big open atrium where they do functions at the Nguyen Engineering Building, so it's a good spot for this. Also, it probably serves as a holding cell for a audience captive who may just come for the freebies and bounce before the game. If they're already on campus they might be more likely to stay for the game. Lastly, I like the idea of visiting the engineering building for nostalgia sake.

Thanks for the heads up. I almost missed the email.
