I find myself hoping UTSA wins. I don’t like it, but I can’t root for a team that was left behind to beat a team in our new, supposedly better conference.

We had a "serviceable" QB in Aune last year. Ranked #28 in Team Offense. Ranked #110 in Team Defense. Finished 7-5 and played for a conference championship in the weakest G5 and played in a bowl game.
We had a near record-setting QB in Rogers this year. Ranked #22 in Team Offense. Ranked #131 in Team Defense. Finished 5-7 playing the most difficult conference schedule in the best G5 conference and the season was over in November.
Just for added context.

Wasn't a tougher schedule a natural part of moving to a better conference?
I'd much rather have a tougher schedule with these teams than still being in CUSA or the Sun Belt...
We should focus on elevating our program rather than wishing for an easier schedule.
While I mostly agree with you, that doesn’t mean I want to have the most difficult schedule in the conference since the scheduling is unbalanced.

Their head coach is a successful businessman. I don’t think it’s a coincidence.

If you guy's hated SMU for their NIL program, you better not look at Charlotte. It is shocking, what these guys are doing in the portal.
Smart move to hire a businessman with deep pockets and lots of connections as head coach I guess.

I hope he’s not successful at Cal, but wishing bodily harm on someone? That’s pretty douchbagging low.

Absolutely nothing
Even if I had money to burn, I am not hypocritical enough to contribute to something I think is ruining sports
I agree. If I give to NIL, I’m contributing to the demise of college athletics. Rest assured, there will be unintended negative consequences above and beyond what we are seeing now.

I agree. My son had it on.

With all the talk of NIL etc., I was wondering if anyone else caught what Chris Fowler said during the ceremony. Something to the effect of they were basically professionals. I could have misunderstood what he said, but that was my takeaway.

1. What the original poster put for the 2018 defensive stats.
2. Regression
We’ll have to agree to disagree on #2. No doubt in my mind that this year’s team beats last year’s team.

I saw a car today with "Peter Boulware Toyota" on the back and it made me think about the star college athletes who turn it into fan adulation for decades afterwards. Boulware spent four years at FSU, got his degree, then declared for the NFL draft. The time he spent in Tallahassee forever ties him to the school.
In five years, will any fans of Southern Miss, Blinn, Louisiana-Monroe, North Texas or his final school care that Chandler Rogers played for them? Will former teammates or students care?
These portal players will leave the sport with money but no reason to think their glory days in sport meant any more than that.
I’ve thought along these lines. Doesn’t the legacy of being in a school’s hall of fame, etc. mean anything? I think the days of retired numbers, rings of honor, and hall of fame inductions are over in football and probably basketball.
Additionally, couldn’t a lot of these guys parlay that into money in the future? If you truly earn your NIL money, you should be able to continue making money after the football career is over.
UNT is small scale, but it’s got to mean something to, for example, Brelan Chancellor to come back to UNT and know he was one of the best to ever put on the green and white (and black).

Full rebuild seemed to work for Texas State. Going to their first ever bowl game after cleaning house.
I don’t mean this to diminish anything they accomplished, but most of their wins were against TERRIBLE teams.
Edit: I’ll give you Ga. Southern and S. Alabama as not terrible teams.

No surprise. He went through the Senior day ceremonies. Good player but don't think he is a P5 number one running back. Great backup at that level.
I thought he was pre-injury, but not sure about post-injury.
Loved watching him play.

If I entered the portal, I’d expect to lose the scholarship from my current school.
“Hey honey, I’m leaving you for another woman, but I’m gonna go ahead and keep living here until she’s ready for me to move in.”

How are players coming to a school and graduating in one year? I thought there were a minimum number of hours required at a university to graduate from that university?
I think a lot of it has to do with high school kids entering college as a sophomore or sometimes even a junior. Lots of dual credit classes etc. My friends daughter had her associates degree before she graduated high school.

What other job and/or field of study makes you wait to pursue displaying your talent?
Most of them. I had to have a degree before I could get a job in my profession.

Isn't this what the Mean Green Forum wanted.? The current roster didn't meet your expectations. We are up to 17 in the portal +19 seniors. I had predicted 50 new scholarship players for fall camp. The big challenge now is getting enough in school in the next few weeks to have an effective spring. It’s not as easy as it sounds, especially with limited grad level classes.
The quality of football is sure to suffer because of the portal for a variety of reasons. You just listed one I hadn’t thought about.

Before we start jumping off bridges, we need to check the portal. According to 247, over 500 players entered the portal today.
This.
Oklahoma and Ohio St. lost their starting QB’s to the portal. That’s two of the premier positions in all of college football. Sadly, it’s just the way it is now.

Funny thing is, im convinced that if Georgia would have won, FSU would have gotten in. Once Bama beat Georgia they had to take Texas and they couldn't leave out Bama.
I don’t think there’s any doubt that’s true. As long as there is an SEC team, the games can be played.

I was at the FSU/North Alabama game when Travis' leg broke. I figured the national championship dream was over, but I thought it would be because of a loss. Mike Norvell is a hell of a coach to get them to 13-0.
Spending so much time in Tallahassee has me biased, but Florida State got robbed. The committee kept them out because of how their third-string quarterback played, even though he would not have played a down in one month in the playoffs. Teams have won the natty with backup quarterbacks but now that's viewed as impossible? Norvell would've had a month to prepare Rodemaker.
The undefeated champion of a P5 conference has always gotten in the playoff. FSU won all their games and their defense played out of their minds after Travis went down. Louisville came in humming on offense with three 30-plus point games. FSU held them to 6.
The standard for the playoff should have been about wins and losses, not about a perception of who is going to play better in a month. People keep using TCU as the reason FSU should've been excluded, but TCU showed it belonged by beating Michigan.
It's weird that the ACC is being talked about like the G5 even though it has three national championships the past decade. Will the ACC be the next to die after the PAC-12 as ESPN and the other football powers try to form the Premier League of college football?
Well said.
The ACC is being treated as G5 even though they had a winning record vs the SEC this year. It wouldn't surprise me to see that trend continue in bowl season.
Here's an opinion that most may not agree with: Alabama winning and/or FSU losing doesn't justify the decision to leave FSU out. I feel like Ohio St., Georgia, and Oregon could possibly win the playoff if they were in it. My point being that on any given day, there are about 8-10 teams that could each beat one another.

Seems like the portal will devalue coaches, not from an X's and O's standpoint, but from an intangibles standpoint. It would seem impossible to establish any type of culture when you have so many new players every year.

Then why aren't you arguing that Liberty should be in? I've brought them up in this thread yet nobody has picked their side. Everybody wants to defend the big P5 but nobody is fighting for the 13-0 G5 champion.
I think the issue is more so that FSU was ranked #4 prior to the conference championship games and, despite winning, they were bypassed by the teams ranked #7 and #8.
Plus, and I’ve already addressed this, Liberty is not the normal undefeated G5. Honestly, they may be overranked at #18. Nobody is a bigger proponent of G5’s being given an opportunity to prove themselves more than me, but Liberty just doesn’t have the resume to be able to defend them. You know as well as I do that they were lucky to get the NY6 invite.

Not even in New York. It’s a second rate bowl in a baseball stadium in Boston.
Hahaha. I didn’t catch that. @wardly You’re gonna end up like Kramer: waking up in the Hudson River…in a sack🤣🤣. I’m sure those New Yorkers wouldn’t be happy with you saying Fenway was in NY.

I would imagine KD was playing because that’s what he wanted to do, not out of some sense of owing anyone anything. He was a baller and he wanted to be out there with his teammates one last time.
