[The Athletic on DFW Football recruiting]

Just make P5 professional (paid) and G5 amature...once you've signed a P5 contract you ain't going back to G5. Consequences for your actions....just a thought.

 

[Nothing is off the table per new AAC commish]

First year in 20+ that I'm hesitant to pull the trigger on renewing my 4 season football tickets. 

Tired of never "winning the big game", tired of "it's about me", and "show me the money". Very little or no loyalty to "the team or school".

Maybe I'm too old to be a college football/basketball fan.....

[Season Ticket Change]

So this affects only those whose Season Tickets were in the sections being changed to seat back configuration?

[Our Prissy Little Sister School SMU fires Coach Rob Lanier after two seasons.]

Let's see who they can resurrect. At some point money doesn't buy the glory you seek.

Just curious if anyone from the university posts on here and could enlighten us on what is actually scheduled at the Super Pit over the weekend.    Anyone know?

I would venture there are several people who are asking the same question.

I always thought the main function of "The Super Pit" was Basketball. Guess I was wrong. But you would THINK that after the last couple of years the Administration or whoever runs the facility would blank out the last week or two after BB season in case of post season play. But once again I'm wrong.

[Worst call of all time? Yes.]

Dale Hansen when talking about UT football would play that clip. If I'm not mistaken UT finally asked him not to show it when referencing UT Football.

Everybody in the State of Texas knows the refs gave that game to UT.

[2024 Mean Green Football Predictions]

I'm thinking because of NIL and "The Portal" for many G5"s it might be a couple of games into the season before you see where a team is headed. 

I'll say again...6 wins is a must for Eric or NT didn't move forward.

 

[When Morris rejoins his dad who is our starter?]

Thought the JMU SBCPOY was headed to TSU with all his baggage..lol

[(3/6/2024) Texas FBS Power Poll: UNT #10]

After #1......the rest is conjecture.

[Defense]

I hope Spring Training changes my outlook on this team...

[QB commit - Chandler Morris - transfer from TCU]

Eric Morris has got to hit 6 with or without Chandler. Other wise we DID regress. 

[Dartmouth hoops could vote to become first labor union for NCAA athletes]

Double edge sword...lol. Talk about screwing yourself.....

[Mustangs Fall At North Texas 68-66]

You can't post positive BB stuff on here..makes the football thread look bad!

[NIL DEVIL!]

The NCAA didn’t do this. The U.S. Supreme Court did by unanimous ruling (IMHO correctly) that education related benefit caps the NCAA imposed on student athletes are in violation is U.S. anti-trust laws. 

The NCAA passes regulations voted on by member institutions. 
 

The NCAA isn’t an evil overlord. 

 

You are correct...its your opinion. My opinion is the state of college athletics is directly related to the bad decisions made by the NCAA and the incompetence of their legal team. But hey...its all good! It will be good entertainment watching college athletics as we know it implode. 

[NIL DEVIL!]

NIL sucks. All the NCAA has done is create a Semi-Pro league with no accountability to the University, NCAA, or for the individual athlete. The Holy 'Buck' now rules! . No loyalty to the school or fans. It's all about "SHOW ME THE MONEY"!

Lol

PS..THE PORTAL SUCKS TOO!

 

 

[Seth Littrell Sighting]

Is Seth jinked when it comes to bowl wins?

[AAC Bowls]

Best Bought G5 in the country and can't finish it....

[Prayers for Jason Bean]

Bean wanted to play but Seth had other ideas....mistake?

Chandler was brought here to play but Eric  had other ideas....mistake?

There is more to these story's that the fans aren't privy to....

[Major recruiting class jump from ‘23 to ‘24]

Next year's class looks great. Unfortunately, those who excel will hit the portal. It seems if your in the G7 league and star..the P3's will be knockin on your door with that bag of cash. You'll re-boot every year. That's just the semi-pro league reality..

KD entered the transfer portal in 2022 but then backed out and returned. Should we have let the door hit him on the way out?

He never verbally committed to any other school. He visited several but I can't find where he "Verbally Committed". Plus I believe he received his Bachelors Degree and would of been a Graduate Transfer. I have no problem if you graduated and are wanting into a Graduate Program elsewhere.

Please correct if I'm wrong. But it's MY opinion...I don't like the fricking Portal and damn sure don't like the NIL.

KD Davis?  

Did KD commit then back out before signing...

[Have any commits flipped?]

Why would you want someone back after he has shown you he has NO loyalty to you, your team or school.

As for all who left thru the portal...

Don't let the door hit you in your ass on the way out.

IMO...Loyalty plays a huge part in success of any endeavor.

[The Future of Bowl Games]

I like bowl games.

 I could care less if there are 10 or 100000 in attendance. 

 

[Concerns leading up to Wednesday]

A single male with no apparent write offs would make the IRS and Uncle Joe happy. Wonder if any of the benefits are taxed?

I know of a local (ish) QB who got an offer from a low tier P5 school late, redshirted his first year, and then had a *decent year as a RS FR, he entered the portal and got 400k + a house on campus with all expenses paid for a year from another P5. This guy was not even on Rodgers level and he got that much. We need a T Boone Pickens to come along for us to compete now 🤷‍♂️

 

[JayDee is saying keep the faith]

When your at the bottom it's easy to look up.
