Does anybody know how to reach somebody with the ticket office when they're closed for holiday break? My brother bought tickets using this promo but when he completed the order, the 3 promo tickets didn't get added even though he added them on the order screen so now he only has 1 ticket... tried calling both ticket office numbers but they're closed for the holidays. Trying to get people to games but it sucks there's no customer service available to help with issues that arise.

Look, I lurk on both. Some of his basketball points are valid, some aren't, and many are in between. This Roberts take was completely ridiculous. An honorable mention all conference players will get some looks.

I see Mike Ekeler is keeping his eyes on UNT.

We didn't go up with this win. UAB went up 8 spots with their home win against Charlotte who only dropped 1 due to UAB on the road being a Quad 1 game. The value of having several teams in the top 75 is huge. Side note, UMass and Grand Canyon are 11 and 21 spots away from becoming Quad 2 wins for us. I think Grand Canyon can make it if they go on a run in conference play. UMass really doesn't have many opportunities for quality wins in conference play so there's very little room for error.

Good Lord, Abou had a game. Hitting all the bunnies he missed early in the season. If he keeps that soft touch going, he's going to be the force we all believe he can be.

Gotcha. Regardless, the school appears to be making a significant commitment to success unless these guys are all taking less money for a better job title which seems unlikely.

I believe it was @TheReal_jayDwho mentioned in a since-deleted thread that Morris would have a much larger assistant coach salary pool than SL did considering his salary is about $600k less than SL's. If true, it's starting to show.

Read that other comment differently than it appears it was intended. Good point, though.

If our new DC doesn't know a player from hist most recent school, there's a problem.

Stop, this is great. I feel like I'm watching an episode of Cold Case Files.

Are people in the middle west aware there's different kinds of "peppers" and not all are made equally?

Would be a great spot for him. He was a true freshman this past season so he could redshirt this upcoming season while Harris completes his 7th season. McCown would be in a prime position to takeover in 2024.

Hopefully a notch less crazy.

Just answered the questions I was about to submit. Surely he wouldn't put all his time in being OC when he's got an entire team and staff to manage. Sounds like he'll go the Sean McVay route. McVay may have an OC in LA but we know who really pulls the strings.

I'm confused as to why position coaches are being put in place without an OC? Unless there's an OC waiting to be announced who's ok with them? Thinking Joel Filani? Or am I over thinking this?

Will certainly be interesting to see how things play out.

Agree 100% on all points here. Still blows my mind how the NCAA doesn't realize they'd make more money if all programs were on an equal playing field. They alienate half their fan pool by only facilitating select programs to be elite. As it is, many fans, and potential viewership, tune out after their school's bowl game has passed.

Jace Amaro was an All-American TE in 2013 at Texas Tech, Morris' first year coaching there. Amaro had over 1300 receiving yards and 7 TDs. I don't know Morris' direct involvement there but if that's any indication, I think our TEs will have incredible years. Wonder if that was part of his pitch to Gumms to stay.

Yes I understand what the problem is. I just think it's hypocritical of Traylor to make a stink about it considering he'd like do the same if he were at a P5. I say that without knowing him personally so maybe I'm wrong. He's right to complain about it. I just hope if he gets plucked by a P5, he doesn't do the same the G5.

Good for him speaking up. Question is, if he gets a P5 gig will he do the same?

Deion's method will bite him in the rear at the P5 level. Pointing at his son and saying "that's your quarterback" might work at the FCS level but you can't just play your guys because they're "your guys" against the talent they'll be facing. Telling the players to leave and recruits their offers are no longer valid is silliness too. He's not creating an environment that fosters competitiveness and you need that when playing even talent. His talent won't outclass his competition anymore. He's also being a douche in the process. Deion doing it the way he did was impersonal in a field that requires people skills and was frustrating and humiliating to Colorado's players. This guy's stock is going to crash hard. Anyways, Morris > Deion. '“It was hectic,” Mott said. “It was a huge mess. I actually never got contacted by Deion or any of his new (on-field) staff. I got called. They told me that coach Deion didn’t want to honor my commitment and hung up the phone. I was in a group chat with all the other commits and they were all I guess freaking out, too, because a lot of us had our options closed for months now being committed to Colorado. So we hadn’t reached out to any school. It was a whole big deal.”' https://theathletic.com/4005958/2022/12/19/deion-sanders-colorado-commitments/

Deion ain't Morris. Come back to this in a year. He can recruit but coaching is going to be different at the P5 level.

I'm intrigued by all the panic with decommits and transfers. Obviously we need to maintain our top talent that's already here but otherwise, I'm not upset about guys decommiting or backups leaving. It's happened before and it'll happen again. SL took a team from 1-11 to 5-8 in year 1 with much less to work off of and much less to sell. Yes, we're going to a new conference, but there's no reason Eric Morris can't elevate us in year 1 of his tenure. If this turns into a rebuild instead of building on what we have, year 1 will be a failure. I don't see that happening. We'll be fine.
