  1. All good points and propositions for sure. The harsh reality we're confronted with in this era is the glaring absence of strongly enforced, impartial rules, and fair-minded regulations. How can anyone know who to recruit or who to trust in this laissez faire wild-west-anything-goes period of college athletics where Big Schools and Big TV make all the decisions? Where's the NCAA...or Marshall Dillon? The only reason Webster still includes the word integrity is to define something we're missing. We're sitting ducks and for now no matter what we cook up, there's a monster waiting out there with big teeth and a big appetite ready to gobble it up. We all yearn for better days and better ways. Let's keep searching. For now,we can share that rarely taken path with legendary coach, Pat Summit who said, "Here's how I'm going to beat you. I'm going to outwork you. That's it. That's all there is to it."
  2. 4 minutes remain in the first half with a score: UNT18 SF21 Forgive me if this question has been previously answered: Are the opponents in tonight's game correctly referenced as "Lady Bulls?"
  3. Damn it. Wish I could relax and just enjoy the game.
  4. Crap. No game on tv in Atlanta... technical difficulties. crap
  5. Cal QB Sam Jackson V: Jackson is searching for his third team after two seasons at TCU and one at Cal. He started three games for the Bears this season before freshman Fernando Mendoza took over. -The Athletic
  6. I agree but, maybe we need to consider the consequences of failing to upgrade the current athletic facilities. It would seem to be a death knell.
  7. Good question/statement. I cannot imagine a world of college athletics without a very close and vital connection to high schools. At the same time it appears that big money is permanently vital to big successful college athletic programs. While we are not known for our collective generosity, the solution may well lie in changing that tradition but, can we do it? I wish I knew the answer.
  8. The Athletic Dec 5, 2023 By the numbers … Day 1 of the winter transfer portal window was record-smashing. To break it all down, I phoned a friend in The Athletic’s portal guru, Max Olson, to share some of the numbers. The total number of portal entries yesterday from FBS, FCS and Division II players was 1,127, a 44 percent increase from a year ago (780). The total number from Division I was 1,049. In FBS, 532 scholarship players entered, a 16 percent increase from last year’s Day 1 total (456). Power 5 transfers made up 57 percent, and 43 percent were from Group of 5 programs. Also in FBS, 28 scholarship quarterbacks entered the portal yesterday. The most crowded position in the portal among FBS scholarship players was wide receiver with 63 Day 1 entries. Next in line were the defensive backs (54), offensive linemen (41), linebackers (34), defensive linemen (33), running backs (32) and tight ends (14). Five special teams players entered on Monday. By team (FBS-only), South Carolina had the most Day 1 entries with 15. NC State, Vanderbilt and Western Michigan had 14 followed by Cincinnati with 13; ECU, Georgia State, Kent State and North Texas with 11; Iowa State and Purdue with 10; and Kansas State and Michigan State with nine.
  9. I'll bet my paycheck that we'll never know.
  10. I don't know about y'all but I most certainly have never seen these two in a room at the same time.
  11. Thanks to all for the updates. It is appreciated!
