Ooooof. Kickoff is scheduled right when my brother is getting married. Man this sucks. He'll understand...

We are playing Houston Baptist. If we were playing even a Sun Belt team it would be a different story.

We're offering free White Claws with every purchase.

Boom! 6:30 on ESPN3

My money is on Kason Martin. He may not start the season as the starter but I can see him overtaking Bean & Aune by mid-season. It's worth noting he was the lone QB to not throw an interception last Saturday. He also threw a 60 yd TD and his performance earned praise from coach after the scrimmage. The fact that coach Littrell made a point to mention Kason alongside Bean & Aune to me says this is a real 3-man race for the spot. Apparently Kason has practiced well up to this point and continues to make a good argument for playing time.

It could be worse, it looks like they re-built Fouts.

See all 8,000 of you next Sat at 6:30pm - GMG

I’ll take Jason “Ninja” Pirtle.

ESPN 3? Really

I guess they want to burn up any virus that might be in the stadium. Problem is:

...and even with that overreaction my kid's nanny had to attend a Facebook funeral for her bestfriend who died in Houston of COVID complications in the past week. And my best friend's Aunt-in-law died of COVID in Lewisville. This past Sunday my uncle in Colorado was rushed to the hospital with heart failure and he tested positive for COVID - still alive. Just digits on the 180,000... but luckily it is that low.

Basically they were living check to check. They got sick missed a check and couldn’t pay the bills. Welcome to America for a lot of people.

Has anyone re-selected their seats yet? If so, how did it go? My window is tomorrow morning...GMG

The official home of Mean Green Football

They do have Southern Miss vs USA on a Thursday

Absolutely no one has ever done less with more than the Texas Longhorns. Most money in college athletics...sit in the most fertile recruiting grounds in the country as the premier program in the state...play in a very mediocre conference that they basically own, financially and media-wise... And then go out and lose 4-7 games a year. Since 2010, its one thing to lose to OU(almost every time), LSU, ND, USC, and even Okie State. But they have been owned by TCU and KSU. They have lost games to Iowa State, Baylor, WVU, Maryland (twice), and KANSAS (yes, in football). And there is absolutely nothing about their current coach that makes me believe they have the guy to lead them back to glory...who, come to think of it, might actually be coaching at UNC right now.

Fox, FS1 and FSSW hold no rights to any games being played on the opening weekend and the only to get any rights would have been sub license from ESPN or CBSSN. The question is why isn't CUSA primary partner CBSSN taking any of the three CUSA games that weekend. They aren't even carrying any games and hold no rights to NHL, NBA, MLB or even the US Open Tennis which will dominant ESPN2 that weekend.

The best part was when the Big XII said "We have to ask Texas first, but otherwise we're in" So true...and funny, because OU is the powerhouse in that conference And then there's this...

Simply incredible with all of the sports channels looking for content that won't be filled with NBA or NHL we can't get somewhere else other than ESPN3. What a joke. Maybe whatever weak television rights deal we have in place means we can't just move to FS or CBSSN? ESPNEWS right now is slated to show cornhole at that time!

I mean what do you expect lol SMU TX ST gets the 3:00 ESPN slot, and Memphis Ark St get the primetime ESPN slot

I spoke with the ticket office this morning and they said they are still working on kick times, including for this game. The TV and streaming deals are driving the kick times and with the B1G changes, it’s taking a while for the adjusted TV plans to sort out.

One of my guests for that game (older man) passed out from heat exhaustion in the first quarter. We spent the second half in the hospital. He's an smu grad and we tease that he did it just to get out of watching that ass kicking.

This guy has been doing these types of videos before Scooter came around but they are both awesome.

The post where the P5s leave the AAC behind is kind of a reality slap to our #P6 idiot posters....

Just like Mason, all Hall needs is a chance. I hope he gets that chance, the Saints will be glad they gave it to him.

I missed my selection time and they selected for me. I'm in the same section but about 16 rows up.

Check out this thread

My points must have really sucked. They have put me back in the top corner of the wing zone for this season.

No, I was literally told “I see where you’ve already paid for your tickets. Let me issue you a REFUND” And, it’s the strangest thing but my credit card shows a pending charge from the “record keeping.” My reading comprehension, and ears when I was actually on the phone, are just fine

It could’ve...

Our Television deals are part of Judy's grand plan that so far has failed to materialize. You would think she would be out there pushing for more TV exposure this year. Perhaps she is and HBU just isn't pulling in enough interest. I would think college FB fans just want to watch some football.

Way more options than just ESPN. ESPN2, ESPNU, ABC, Fox, FSSW, FS1, etc... Streaming only is disappointing, but apt I guess, considering we flopped hard last year, lost Mason Fine, and we're playing a FCS school...

This guy is a Scooter Magruder rip off. Scooter did a video capturing us that year we beat Arkansas.

I typically check 247 and have never had any luck posting tweets. Thanks for posting that.

Just had my window - crediting my tickets to next year and giving them the MGSF donation. Tough times, will miss Apogee but more room for the rest of yall. GMG

Someone had posted in a different thread that we may see both on the field, depending on the situation. I can see Aune getting the starting nod, with Bean coming in on certain situations where his running ability can give the opposing teams defense a different look. Short yardage plays maybe?
