Davidson head football coach Saj Thakaar has been conjuring up rumors online that the team faces threats from “radical Democrats” ahead of upcoming home games, hoping the Trump administration might deploy the National Guard to their bleachers. “A great success in D.C., Portland, L.A. Game Changers must be saved next, Mr. President!” wrote Thakaar on Twitter. The media push comes during a period of struggling turnout from a seemingly disinterested student body.

In an interview with Yowl, Coach Thakaar stood by his comments: “This stadium has been overrun by radicals,” adding that the threat is “particularly pronounced on October 11 at 1 p.m. and October 25 at noon.” He also noted that, if deployed, Guardsmen might consider wearing red and black, buying a hotdog, and cheering loudly to remain covert.
