[Best BBQ in each Texas college football town]

According to whom? I’ve worked for in Austin and lived in the greater Austin area for over 15 years and I have never heard of Interstellar BBQ.

I think Texas Monthly ranked them #2 in Texas last year. You should definitely go try it. It's definitely in my Top 5 I've ever had. They're still pretty new in the BBQ world. I want to say they only opened the storefront in 2019, but I could be wrong.

[Lesser Reasons for Transferring]

I'd add that they see it modeled that you move on when you have a "better opportunity" even if they're only at a school a year or two. It's what their coaches do, it's what the administrators at the schools do, etc. The days of coaches/ADs spending their entire career at just a few schools is pretty much over.

[Season Ticket Change]

But here is someone that questions our ability to accurate count seats in a football stadium.

Not questioning our ability to count seats. I’ve just been around enough construction projects in my career to realize sometimes things just get messed up. I remember there being some club seats they said were on the drawings that ended up just not being there when DATCU opened despite being on all the drawings. There’s a reason home inspectors find things missing or installed incorrectly in new home builds.

[Season Ticket Change]

I'm sure they know how many seats are supposed to be installed, but with construction/renovation you just never know until it's done. Since they're re-seating the area, it makes sense to me to wait until they're installed and you can see and touch them to make sure. Could you imagine if they ran into something unexpected and a row is short a seat yet they already assigned seats for that row?

[Stone Earle deserves to be the starter]

Care to elaborate on why you think he deserves to be the starter?

[SMU People Doing SMU Things]

GMG loves them some SMU threads

[NIL Estimate]

It’s not surprising in the least that our NIL $’s would lag behind the AAC. We are pretty pedestrian in every revenue category (donations, ticket sales, etc.).

Is it though? They hired his dad.

but the reality is that most of the schools in FBS will not be able to compete.

Do we compete with the Ohio States of the world right now? Have we ever?

Honestly, I'm surprised it's just $13 million. 

[East Carolina (1/17/24)]

Some of you need to just learn how to enjoy a hell of a win and finish. Get out of here with the “he pushed off, we got lucky” crap. Any given season, there are breaks that go your way, breaks that go against you, etc. You can if and but your way into anything. Sometimes, you just have to step back and enjoy a gutsy win on the road in conference play.

Why is the NCAA doing this?

They're doing exactly what the "power schools" want them to do.

Hmmmm kind of like their coaches who jump at the first chance at more money/prestige…

Who would’ve guessed that we got a QB commit and we’d have people who didn’t like the move.

Been around here long?

[DeBoer]

If he can run his offense and keep that Bama defense at the high level they have it at, Bama is going to continue to be an elite program.

PS I don’t want a coach anywhere near my program who is scared to take the reins from a legend as some of you are suggesting.

Don't think the NCAA saw this tsunami and failed to have guidelines or rules in place.

This should have led to the entire leadership of the NCAA being replaced.

I keep seeing things like this get posted, but the NCAA is doing exactly what the member schools wanted them to do with all of this stuff (stay out of the way). They take their marching orders directly from the member schools. Always have. That’s not new.

[Be Honest ... How worried (or not) are you about the QB situation?]

I’m honestly not worried about it at all. I think Morris has a track record of finding and developing good quarterbacks. I have no reason to doubt that at the point. I expect him to land a QB that most people will be excited about. I say most because, well, it’s GMG.com.

[Delaware joining CUSA by 2025-26 school year]

Who cares?

[Florida State officially leaving ACC?]

At the end of the day, if this turns into ACC vs. State of Florida, I'm putting my money on the State of Florida. My guess is this thing ends up settling for a lot less than the current buyout. Even Texas basically says you can't sue me. Look at what happened with Texas Tech and Mike Leach.

It's also worth noting that the P5 is history. I'll be surprised if the new "division" includes the likes of SMU. SMU will be right back in the "G5" like the rest of us.

That's the mindset of kid's today...get mine now.  Screw the school, the program, the team...I want mine NOW!

I can’t imagine a lot of people here would have cared much about school, the program, etc. if say Brint Ryan came up to them with a check for $500k each of the next 4 years and said, “this is yours whether you graduate or not.”

Kason talk again? Good grief. He may be a good enough person, but he wasn't an FBS level QB.

So you'd want us to get another Chandler Rogers who will leave after a year?

In today's landscape, I want anyone who makes the team better one year at a time. If that means a transfer QB who is one and done at UNT, so be it.
