No offense.

I like this. The only question mark is what cooled off the new staff at Troy? Measurables look legit.
Perhaps the staff cooled off on him at NT?

non-Power 4s are the athletic equivalent of the GOP. They learn about it after the deal is done. Then vote for it.

I plan to be in Mobile. I'd love to group seat.
Hopefully bringing at least a son or a wife.

Will there be a Denton kickoff function this year?
I don't think they called the Denton program a caravan stop last year so hoping they just haven't announced a date.

So, why wouldn’t the G5 schools try to form their own system? And, I would jack the price for a visit to a P4 stadium up to a $3M minimum that ALL G5 schools hold firm on. If Texas wants to go 12-0 they either have to play the other “big boys” or pay the piper💰
Bingo. But higher.

Dugout is doing the NORTH/TEXAS back and forth with our fans on scoring plays. Love it.

You were correct either way.

Make it 11-0. Still top of the first, still no outs. Six hits, 4 BBs, 3 errors.

Understating "nice start" in Game 2.
The Pinstripes are leading 5-0, no outs in the top of the first. Pitching change.

About once a week…of course, my discount doesn’t hurt
I understand 407 is a good friend to law enforcement. Another reason to support. Also decided pretty quickly they were going to be open for business during COVID times. I felt compelled to splurge and it didn't take much arm twisting.

407 is my choice, but it is a treat for me. Expensive, thus rare. Metzlers will always be in the top 3. Lots of meat options, great sides and most important, shares my deep love for the Mean Green.

@Brett Vito reported it was Mooney intercepted by BJ Allen. Cash threw the second pick 6 to Ridge Texada.

Reading green numbers on black jerseys is tough but I believe Mooney threw the first pick 6. Were official stats every published anywhere?

Sriracha won the Corgi race. And it wasn't even close.
Immediately entered the transfer portal.

More "late inning heroics." This team grinds until the last out.
Everyone is contributing. Proud of this series win.

It is free access. I have gone there a few times over the years, usually when I can only see an inning or two.
You miss so much of the nuance back there, but it is a fun time. Some are grilling or otherwise tailgating.

Great job organizing, Matt. Fun fan time for all. Enjoyed the banter and breadth of topics, as is likely to occur when fellas gather for the talking sport.
There is value, lots of it, when fans coordinate and gather together, especially for away games where there may not be lots of Green in the crowd. The more together we are, the louder we are.
Really appreciated the ladies coming over after the game to thank us for being there. Ladies, thank YOU!

Mikayla is on one this year! Sixth homer already after 9 last year. Hopefully we won't need late game heroics to complete the sweep tomorrow.
We did. And it was awesome.

Proportionately to pay an exit fee of $2 million to leave the WAC is the equivalent of Clemson's battle with the ACC. The struggle is real.

Looking to discuss, or debate: the future of CFB.
in Mean Green Football
Posted
It isn't unusual for the doomsayers to dominate a discussion. Kind of like some are more likely to complain out loud about bad food or service than reflecting it in a tip. That said, the general trend is that CFB is changing, and not for the better. Especially for fans of less esteemed (rich) teams. If it is inevitable that the smaller schools will have to find a way to stay/become relevant, consider this (and by the way, I subscribe to the "there are no original thoughts remaining" so this isn't likely the first time you have seen this):
Adapt a major league baseball, farm system model.
The 50 or so elites can contract with 3 lessers to be their farm teams. Lessers might be considered A, AA, AAA. The current G5s, perhaps not all, could negotiate with the 50 to be their AAA team, hopefully with a regional bias. Current FCS teams might be AA, and whoever is left can negotiate their way into the A spots. Championships could be played at each level.
Each "farm" team would run their programs independent of their Major League team. Clearly the Major would want some influence but their would also be organic back and forth discussions about recruits, and it might even be part of the Major's recruiting strategy. "We really like you but we are stocked at RB and we would like to get you on the field in the Minors for a year, then bring you up. Here is an extra $150k to supplement what the Minor program will offer while you are there." But the Major would be given, for the contracted price, the right to "call up" any player on the farm teams. Players could go up and down in the system. Some Major signees may be sent down if they don't perform to the value of their NIL, some Minor players would move up. The Major could elect to continue to pay the Major NIL price that those sent down signed up for, to keep them in the system or not. Each minor level could offer its own NIL, and some of that funding could come from the revenue generated by its relationship with the Major.
To make it a bit more challenging, the minors could agree to run the same offense and defense as the major. It may be part of the negotiation amongst G5s as to who they may line up with. Even in-season call ups would be more natural if the player is in the same system as the Major team calling him up. Players might get called up for the bowl game when a Major player opts out of its bowl game. UTSA would likely line up with UT, as an example, and adopt similar playing styles.
Free agency would be restricted to certain times, just like the transfer portal is now. And money is going to play a big part in that. But maybe teams might offer more money for a longer commitment to stay, that either player or team could get out of for a price (say part of the NIL payment is escrowed for a period of time to be clawed back if the player opts to leave, or a separation payment is paid by the team to get rid of a kid it no longer wants).
To me, the upside for the minors is their place in the sport has more relevance, and likely more revenue (the two are related) through their relationship to the Major.
There are likely many issues to make this impossible. I'd like to hear them, and there is likely more to add on the positive side.
Flame away, friends.
