How To Induce Interest In Sacramento

Sacramento State sports programs would benefit from more interest. Here are some suggestions:

1. Change the nickname from Hornets to something with the letter "X." The letter "X" exudes edginess.

2. Green and gold? Enough already. Time to ramp up the intimidation factor; go black and gold.

3. Cachet is everything. The Big Sky Conference is cachet-free. Forget the recreation/wellness center. Use that money to buy entry into the Pacific-10.

4. Play home basketball games at an even bigger venue, like Sacramento High School's pavilion.

5. Exit Herky the Hornet. Enter Spike.

And that is the reason you have no support. You'll find this attitude all over IAA, and it is the reason IAA has the stigma of small time - media portray it that way. Going IA is always the answer to fan support problems! I mean who wouldn't want to end up like IA powers such as Troy, Buffalo, Temple, and Idaho?

Anyway, the rest of the list gave me a small chuckle, except his jab at the Big Sky and IAA in general.
