It's about 75:25 Mason. It's well worth ten minutes to listen to. I said this about Rome's interview with Littrell a few weeks ago and I'll say it again: I'm not a Rome fan but these have been great interviews. Rome does his homework and asks great questions.

I'd take the under. I don't think UAB will score enough to reach the over.

Done. So far it appears the Marshall fans are voting early and often.

I just caught the last 5 seconds of the interview. That part sounded great. I hope the rest did as well. 🙂

Your logic confuses me. So if a kid sacks a quarterback and tea bags him, is that ok? After every first down should the offense be able to run some choreographed dance? If you allow kids to do whatever, they will do whatever. It can easily get out of control. "Penalize the prepared and justify the lucky." What does luck have to do with on field celebrations?

I agree. There's a difference between spontaneous celebrations and choreographed celebrations.

This!

It was right to be penalized. It broke two of the three core values of the team: it was neither selfless nor disciplined. Also, if you're going to have a celebration move, do something that doesn't make you look like a couple of 5 year girls doing ballerina.

Talking contract during the season may be a distraction neither side wants. However, our bye week is coming up so that may be an opportunity to do so.

I think we can all agree that if a P5 conference goes away it will be the Big 12. Texas could go independent or join the Pac 12 or the Big 10. Kansas would probably go Big 10. Oklahoma would go somewhere and probably not be required to bring along Okie State this time. The remaining seven Big 12 teams become the top "G6" conference and we would want to be with them. However, I would not be surprised if the Big 12 does not go away and we stay with five power conferences. If Texas wants to stay then they are powerful enough to hold the Big 12 conference together. The negative for us in that situation is I never see them wanting to add a Dallas area team. ***DISCLAIMIER: THE ABOVE IS COMPLETELY OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE MY MIND AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE ***

I don't think Seth needs help weeding out schools he's not interested in. No matter what the buyout is it won't stop any team he would be interested in. More money for him and his staff ... larger buyout for us ... sounds good to me.

UAB is a running game with a suspect passing attack. I think our defense matches up very well as long as we don't give up big plays (like last year). Offensively, I think it may be like last week where it may take some time but we will eventually break through. UNT - 30 UAB - 13

Keep up those growth percentages every year and they quickly get to respectable levels.

I agree. In reality, there isn't 6 Power Conferences today. Instead, there's maybe 30 "Power teams" and then a bunch of other school who are really G5's but through luck and/or fortune are in a P6 conference. The real fun is if the eventual P4 Conferences start kicking out schools for more prosperous schools.

Great article! That Kansas fan who visited us a few days ago won't like it, though.
