At $60/mo, it may be a little steep, but I only subscribe to it during football season. It has just about every sports channel there is with unlimited lifetime DVR. It’s rad.
Looks like I spoke too soon. YouTube TV just put out an email saying Sinclair is pulling out from their coverage effective October 1. So that means all the Fox Sports regionals and Stadium won't be on it anymore. :ugh: Stupid move on Sinclair's part.

From The Athletic's Stewart Mandel:
QuoteSo, does that mean all 41 scheduled bowls be played this season?
“Absolutely,” Football Bowl Association Executive Director Nick Carparelli said Monday. “With all the conferences playing, (the NCAA waiver) is not necessarily to ensure enough teams are available, but just to ensure the conferences can fulfill their agreements without having to worry about which teams are .500 or better.”
And let me tell you something: Having now gone through this exercise for the first time this year, there will be some well-below .500 teams participating. In fact, the SEC and ACC, depending on how many New Year’s Six berths they receive, could send nearly their entire leagues to bowl games. I have 13 SEC teams, and one of the matchups I projected would pit 4-7 Florida State against 2-8 Vanderbilt. I’m not kidding.
All strictly G5-assigned bowls will be maintained, but I would expect absolutely minimum latitude for there to be P5-G5 pairings of any kind this bowl season.

I'm guessing you can watch NFL games as well?
Yep. As well as Red Zone and NFL Network.

Anyone have 2 tickets to the SMU game this weekend?
Looking for alternative seats or a better deal apart from StubHub's options.
Hey @eeeeagle, I have two seats that need to go to a good fan tomorrow. I hate missing, but cannot be avoided.
Section 206 Row 8, $25 each.
DM me!

I still have great memories of Fayetteville.
It was a wonderful place to own for the weekend. Would love to see us play there again. Even got lucky with my old lady the night after the big win. Just a fantastic weekend.

I will never regret how badly sunburnt I was after being there that day. Rolled up and down Dickson Street like we owned the place thereafter.

I'm absolutely loathe to admit SMU doing anything well, but Chris Vannini's recent Athletic article on the Bronco's COVID protocols has caught my attention, particularly this bit:
Quote“We love our students, but is it worth having the equipment students and other managers around?” Crespino says. “You need your most essential personnel, and outside of that, you have to determine if the risk is worth it.”
That lack of bodies is even more evident when practice begins. SMU’s fall roster includes only about 75-80 players. Most walk-ons were told to wait until spring. Only players who have a chance to play are permitted to practice this fall.
With the smaller active roster, there essentially is no scout team. It’s good-on-good in drills. Players go against the same few players on the other side in drills, to make potential contact tracing easier. In some special-teams drills, coaches like defensive coordinator Kevin Kane and safeties coach Trey Haverty join players in running down the field on the kickoff scout team.
“Our roster was going to have 135 players on it. We brought 80 to camp.” Dykes says. “We just limited our interactions. … Everybody has to work extra hard. Everybody has to pick up the workload and do things that they’re not accustomed to doing. But at the end of the day, it’s going to keep our players safe and to allow us to play football.”
To go about their season with that few personnel is surprising.

So um, UTSA looks... competent? This is a surprising development.

The real and likely answer is that Willis' successor will be someone we're likely not aware of or off our radar. Bringing up the past cast of characters in our orbit because that's all we know is inherently limiting.

Shanbour deserves that job.
Saw Shanbour a lot in the huddles last week counseling the offense. I absolutely agree he's got the acumen to do it, but there's got to be some awkwardness of being roughly the same age as one of the players you coach. Or hell, that may actually be more of an advantage.

“Let’s put a “D” on their helmets and Dallas on their jerseys and maybe no one will know we’re SMU and come to our game!”, said their AD.
Part of it is working, they dont know who they are.
I mean hell, they’re really blurring the lines by proxy of The Stars:
They’re trying really hard, ya’ll.

CW, Texas public universities used to have the final enrollment numbers after 10(?) days in class so does UNT have those numbers yet? Just curious.
GMG!
Referred to as our Census date, which was this past Saturday.
We’ll soon have validated numbers not only for enrollment headcount, but more importantly total registered credit hours, the latter of which is crucial in solidifying budget outlooks.

This is fantastic news! I figured enrollment would go down.
Form Provost Cowley last month:
QuoteEnrollment for fall is up Fall: 4.0% Headcount, +3.2% Student Credit Hours (note this is a timing issue and will likely decline later this week). New graduate enrollment in SCH is up 34.4%, FTIC is -8.6%, Transfer is -18.9%. And on a positive note continuing students is up 7.9% - indicating strong retention.FTIC is First Time In College.

••• ANYONE? Did UNT hit 40,000 in this Fall’s enrollment? A friend who knows someone who would know said it would likely happen.
We did exceed 40,000 students this Fall, yes.

Remember Windmill Williams? Don’t jump the gun yet. I picked Bean to lead this team over Aune but he’s still very inexperienced. SMU will give us a much better gauge of the team.

Hops on must have been on an extremely short leash.
Sounds like there was a lot of AD internal incompatibility, particularly after trying to sneak in a transfer accused of violent sexual assault and then attempting to hire Art Briles as OC.
