Coach Neal Brown posted on Twitter a NEED for the students to show up in Mobile. He's not just imploring the students, he's making it happen. He and his wife purchased 100 student tickets to be GIVEN AWAY beginning at 7:30 tomorrow morning. At $45 per, that's not an insignificant action. The relationship he has built with the student body is vital to our success. #OneTROY # RTW

Maybe so, but I haven't heard of it. CNB is doing some really good things at TROY and they aren't all on the field.

That's an awesome gesture on his part. I wonder, though, if he got the $15/ticket student rate for them? I hope so!

Amazing gesture on his part and really says a lot about him and how he wants to build the program and fan base. Those students will hopefully turn in to supportive alumni!

Agreed! Regardless of the $$ amount ... it's great marketing and great way to increase enthusiasm. He and the staff have done a great job getting the student support back (and winning helps! My son says Neal is regularly in SAGA ... Great Job Coach!!

Hopefully we can get some students in the Mobile area to show up. Being so close to Christmas could hurt though.

It went so well that the University itself is adding another 100. They will give them out at 1pm today. The first students in line for Neal this morning arrived at 6:40 to wait.

My wife messaged me the video of Neal shaking the students hands who were waiting in line to get tickets. Class act!!!
