Go Navy!

Why?  I have a son and daughter-in-law both serving as Medical Officers in the Navy and my daughter-in-law's Dad was a retired Master Chief.  It's personal.

Go Navy!

Actually EMU has more 1st downs, more total yards and have held the ball longer. But watching the game ODU seems to be in total control.

Not bad, considering.

No way!! Where were they sitting?? Every time they panned the crowd there were nothing but empty seats.

Many times they count tickets sold.

The Armed Forces bowl had an "attendance" of 41k but there's no way there were that many there.

Did anyone else hear what was said about ODU's football program ? In the eight years since they re-started their football program every home game has been sold out  , remarkable .

I said when we added Old Dominion that they would be the class of the Conference in short order.  Well they are playing in bowl games, selling out their stadium and have the largest athletic budget in the Conference.   They were an excellent addition to our conference.  

 

*Full disclosure their stadium only seats 20k.  Its still impressive though.

Yup that's what happens when you don't build a gigantic stadium.  You can expand when necessary they're probably close to that point.

And, there is a mighty discussion going on at Old Dominion right now regarding increasing the size.  There is a fairly powerful factor that wants to keep capacity small to create "demand" for tickets and to keep the sellouts going.  There is another factor that would like to see capacity increased.  I read about this in the Norfolk paper each year about this time when I visit family in Norfolk/Chesapeake.  It will be interesting to see what the ultimately do as they update the stadium or build a new one.

      Seton Hall star Kadary Richmond enters transfer portal

      Even the "Brand" programs are losing players to the portal. Maybe Ross can sign this guy for us? I heard he likes to play slow offense and lots of defense. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/40025291/seton-hall-star-kadary-richmond-enters-transfer-portal "Seton Hall star Kadary Richmond entered the transfer portal Thursday afternoon, potentially becoming the best player available in the portal. Richmond had long been rumored to be considering a transfer, with Big East and area rival St. John's a potential landing spot for the Brooklyn native."

      G5s Finally Getting Together......Talking About Their Future

      You guys are all delusional. I have a hard time believing that the cut-off will be 30ish teams. Its obvious that's where it is in reality, and dollars (revenue, budgets, etc). But too many of these schools have enough delusional donors who are willing to keep throwing money at it. Why does NIL make that change? I think most of you don't actually talk to any of these big money guys. They aren't jumping out....they are jumping in. And always have. Now it's legal to pay players to win...so anyone with a conscious before when it was illegal doesn't have that hanging over them now. See SMU, Baylor, etc. We're all a bunch of poor schmo's here. Look at the scroll that runs across this very site. That ain't big money scrolling through here. True some of the big donors post on here, but not the Ryans or the 4 billionaire types that fund dirty schmoo.

      A-Scott Projected to OU

      Its in Queens, not Manhattan! I briefly looked at SJU when looking for grad schools, its a very unique university, its not for every student and that includes athletes. I dont know if they have the easiest time recruiting, sure its NYC, but there are plenty of quality programs near NYC. They do have Pitino, but how long is he sticking around?
