Green Mean

Rivalries should always happen naturally & organically and to add true and heated rivalries take several years to come to fruition so let's just see what happens.

Hudler is out tonight again with that illness he had before coming back against Minny.

Not to upset that things came up and I couldn't make the trip to SA for this one.

Need to have both. A successful coach typically has to be a jack of all trades. He needs to coach including being strong on all x's & o's, recruit, manage his coaching staff and yet be personable enough to go out there and engage the fanbase/alums etc.

I think quite a few people here on the board make way too much out of UTSA not having their own on campus stadium. It doesn't really where they play...it's practically their stadium and it's these stadiums are just used 6 Saturday's a year so I mean seriously it doesn't really matter. Miami is another one that doesn't have their own stadium and I believe Temple plays at the Linc where the Eagles play. And Tulane played at the Superdome before they built theirs on campus. An on campus stadium is always great and nice to have but I don't really think about it in judging another school/program.

Guess I've been fooled pretty big time then.

These lists are a silly and the article stating Dallas is the city of hate if beyond stupid. It's sort of like the lists of best college to party etc...I mean seriously those are all bogus. Dallas is hardly the city of hate....no different than any other city...has it's share of douches but also offers a ton of diversity, art, culture and so forth. I'll also include DFW as a whole part of this. People are moving here in droves there's certainly reasons for that b/c they're all staying.

Umm...he's a NT guy and a very passionate one at that.

Bowl hopes or not the fact that we're 4-4 through 8 games I'm pretty damn ecstatic. Yes 4-4 isn't amazing but from where we came from last year and where we've pretty much been the last 12 years or so with the exception of one outlier season this has been arguably the worst program in CFB.

I've never heard Houston as a "World Class City" the way Ryan has touted it to be. I've spent countless time in Houston and it's nice...not a whole lot ton different than Dallas in many respects. San Antonio is fine as well....I'm no fan of the Riverwalk but other than that I've found good things to do there too. There isn't a really a proper way to judge cities as it's totally subjective but living in Dallas myself and well traveled globally I can assure you Dallas and the metroplex in general has a ton to offer and is a big boy city with the rest of them. There's good and charm everywhere...sometimes you just gotta go seek it. Cities in the south are just typically so different so so much of it is sprawled out so that is definitely one thing to keep in mind from an outsiders perspective. That said I'm not a huge fan of the Alamodome but I totally respect and value the closed roof and climate controlled atmosphere so at the least there's that.

Streaming is only getting bigger. Several people are cutting the traditional cord and going streaming via apps etc. I'm considering doing that as well because I can watch all my local sports teams via the apps/channels on Roku etc. I don't believe the audience will be slashed unless if the overall product gets bad or people's taste and priorities change and they opt for other viewing entertainment. The money is still there...will it hit a wall at some point? Of course I'm sure it will be the money will probably be really big and lucrative still.

And they have the high TV deals because people are interested in them and want to watch them which the networks have decided and agreed that they want to pay what they want to pay because of the network's benefit. And regardless of the TV money these schools make a boat load of money and are a money making machine across the board. ESPN already streams. They're already preparing themselves and getting ahead of the curve. They'll still have the broadcasting rights etc if they so wish to do so.

If you get into and master data analytics there has to be a place where you can get in. But I don't imagine it'd be super hard getting on the athletics administration side if you're willing start really small like d2 or d3.

Many/most of these coaches are worth it because the revenue these schools generate from athletics far far outweigh what they pay the head coaches. 9 million a year for Michigan and schools alike is nothing. I'm glad we upped our game but even then we're still at 80. The more success we as in UNT has on the field/court the more people will be interested and the more overall money the school will generate from athletics, donations, advertising etc. At that point the value of our coaches increase and therefore warrants more money in hopes of keeping the train going.

Went to Rally House in West Plano few months ago and they had a very nice and large collection right in the middle between of Texas and Texas A&M. I may stop by today and see how it looks and I'll post a pic.

Haven't seen much of Iowa football this season but would that realistically be a winnable game? I know many were disappointed to see UNLV instead of a B10 team but if we get a game that is far far winnable and/or competitive for the full 60 mins even if it's against a G5 school I might prefer that. It also leaves a much sweeter taste in our mouths especially the casual/apathetic NT alums mouths b/c we can still say we won the bowl game.

The ones here are. The ones in the Miami are far far better because they're so full that the chicken is always super hot and fresh and tastes much better IMO. On the whole tho I much much prefer El Pollo Regio's chicken.

Semen possible

I don't think this is about Houston mailing it in or the B12 decision etc. They've been average the last 3 weeks. Lost to Navy, Tulsa hung with them and they got drilled by SMU. Maybe they were just overrated to begin with but I will give where credit is due it's a really good win for the SMU program and Morris.

Initially wasn't planning on going next week but I'm definitely reconsidering and going down to SA.
