    I always thought 'bama could swing with the best of them, dollar-wise.  Am I mistaken?

    UT and TAMU have WAY more money than Bamer.  They get some type of oil fund here in the state that no other college gets a piece of.  Bama has to recruit students from out of state and gets mainly kids that can't get into UT and TAMU.  Quite frankly Bama is a crappy academic school in a very crappy state.

  2. I am pretty sure I ran into him at the Hill tailgating area a couple of years ago and he was kind enough to offer my wife a drink as it was so damn hot on that day.  Not surprisingly he had a cooler full of ice cold diet cokes that he offered us and I remember her being extremely grateful for it.

    The ACC is in all liklihood going to lose Clemson, FSU (and probably UNC and Miami) here soon.  ESPN owns the ACC network and if it means strengthening the SEC they'll gladly cut a check to make sure their bell cow conference has the ammunition it needs to stay on top.

    The ACC is the next one to go boom...

    As much as it pains me to admit it I agree with you 100% on this.  You SMU grads are smart fellers 😉

    Todd Dodge insisted on bring his high school staff as a requirement for his employment. It was a huge mistake to allow him to do so. Rick took a gamble and it didn't pay off."

    Coach Russell, defense side, told me that rv didn't allow Dodge to retain the defensive coaches after he pleaded with rv to do so. We saw at OU the outcome immediately of rv's decision!

    That is BS.  We didn't have the budget to atract a top assistant so RV rolled the dice with Dodge.  Dodge did want his assistants to stay but RV could have easily said no.  RV didn't have the money to hire big name assistants and allowed Dodge to keep Ron Mendoza and the rest.  That is the truth.  It was in many ways a marriage of convenience.

    Toddling off to bed and at this moment my outcome rankings from most to least likely.

    1. B1G adds two more, some mix of Stanford, Oregon, Washington, the Arizona schools or Colorado. I think most likely is Oregon and either Stanford or Washington. PAC-8 makes a hard play to get 8 of the Big XII to defect. If unsuccessful congratulations SDSU, Boise, UNLV and if BYU says no, probably Hawaii.

    2. B1G holds at 16, PAC-10 probably isn’t looking to join Big XII and vice versa unless someone gets panicky. If no panic, SDSU and Boise probably get the nod.

    3. B1G adds four more. PAC-6 is reeling and Big XII probably just absorbs them unless there’s a big measure of regret in Big XII over expansion.

    Why does Cal seem to be the odd man out?  I was impressed with them whence we played them.

    We still don't have ATM money. If ATM threw real money 💰 at him he'd be in maroon next year. They didn't. No one did. And based solely on KD's "clothing line", this was a decision based on looking for money bags. No real bag fell in his lap, so he chose to stay so he'd at least be a full time starter. 

    What if it was a combination of all the known variables?  KD’s paperwork was not yet finalized with the NCAA waiver; North Texas was already offering KD an undisclosed sum.  A couple of other teams let primarily by ex UNT coach Marty Biagi threw there hat in the ring by offering a little more than what UNT would pay IF KD met certain playing requirement and received his waiver from the NCAA.  UNT realizing that they might lose the heart of their defense and throw a couple more dollars at him.  Maybe KD just looked at the players he would be competing against and thought he had a better chance to pad his stats here in a defense where he would get tons of playing time and tons of tackles.  KD realized if you can play the NFL will find you no matter where you are.
