“I don't worry that much about the players because they're young and healthy and with proper treatment could could be back in playing shape in a short period of time.” - Sorry, I’m not usually a very vocal member of this board, but this is an incredibly irresponsible point of view. Many, many thousands of young people have died from this disease. The fact that any of us would knowingly put these young men in harms way...it’s deplorable y’all.

I’d be beyond shocked if there’s football this fall.

I'm down in Oaxaca for a couple of months and wearing the mean green gear daily. It's a big hit in a country with mutual love for the águila (eagle).

If we are banking on any version of a broadcast tv deal, we’re betting on the wrong horse. ESPN+ may not be the answer, but we’d be smart to lean into streaming platform deals. Like it or not, the cord is already cut for the largest, and only growing, segment of sports watchers. If we get the infrastructure in place early, get the right promotion tools figured out, and start thinking “digital-first” — meaning get clever with all the tools streaming viewers have to interact with us during the game and after — we’ll be in a great position when the old system comes crashing down. IM-very biased-O.

I’ll be there with 13. Three all the way from Brooklyn. #GMG

Are you guys no longer posting the audio to Apple Podcasts?

I’m coming all the way from NYC. The least these dummies could do is drive the 30 minutes from DFW.

Someone go get me a 25-year-old Aussie rules kicker. Let’s get weird.

I will 💯 buy one of these as soon as they’re available.

CUSA TV is so hard to watch. I mean, there's not even a game clock, much less a play clock. Broadcast basics...

Hire this man for a staff job immediately

You're hired, Mr. Orr.

Same here.

Glad to hear it man! And you're right – I totally need to add Eatly to that list. It's a sausage and carbohydrate wonderland. Good luck with the Dallas bagel hunt @meangreenhoops. Holler at me if find anything decent.

I'll be there +14.

I would also highly recommend looking at AirBnB. NY hotels are crazy expensive, and most of the reasonable options are shitholes. There are tens of thousands of great apartments on AirBnB to choose from, usually $100 less/night than a sub par hotel. And don't forget Brooklyn. Neighborhoods like Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Fort Greene, Cobble Hill, Dumbo, etc are beautiful and no more than one or two subway stops from Manhattan. I keep a good Google Doc of stuff to do/see/drink/stuff your face with too. Feel free to have a look here.

Good to know. One more reason to on Rice foosball.

@Travis I didn't have audio either, until about the last 5 min of the first half. Overall, CUSA.tv is a pretty big bummer. I'm used to watching streaming games on ESPN3, but this stream is pretty basic. No audio, the feed stopped entirely for about 25 minutes – there isn't even a score or game clock on the screen. It's honestly a little shocking that they'd even go through the trouble of offering a streaming experience without checking a few of these extremely basic boxes. Yeesh.

Yessir. And I'm bringing another 15-20 folks. Looking forward to getting nautical with you fools.

Don't forget to send website address to relatives and friends.

Will do! Thanks man. Looking forward to some dumpster diving

very sound advice. Thanks @UNT90.

@UNT90 is there beer and/or food to be had around the Alumni Pav?

Does anyone know if there are any official pregame festivities around the stadium. I remember at Fouts there always seemed to be a fenced-off area with beer stands and live music. @UNT90 mentioned at Budweiser tailgate area earlier in the thread, which I imagine is the reincarnation of this at Apogee. I'm actually doing my bachelor party at the game this weekend, and I'm bringing a bunch of folks from New York with me. Including and Aussie and a Canadian who have never been to a college football game. So I at least want to show these idiots a real Denton tailgating experience. Even if the actual game winds up to be a Pillow Fight. Any advice is super welcome. (Also, I sort of can't believe that none of this is listed anywhere on MGS.com. Like, maybe under the "Game Day" tab. Something we should probably add to the To Do List...)
