If you're required to check these boxes, shouldn't this board just cease operations? There would be a pretty short list of people left if you need to fall into one of theses categories to speak about and have an opinion about sports. It's just sports, not rocket science or curing cancer.

Don't tell him that. You have to have expertise to have an opinion. Otherwise, you're just a pompous jackass.

The thinking that Army is relevant with the CFB media is very Old Denton. They don’t register. CBS Sports isn’t a major network-not even big enough to rate with Nielsen. Like us, they’re just another team- if they’re good, they’ll get attention, if not, nobody cares. 

The Army name is meaningless in today’s world of college football.

Well I'd hate to know what that makes North Texas.

We have generally had a good casual fan and/or opposing fan turnout for service academies.  Plus we get fly-over pageantry. 

Beating Cal > Army, but I would not say Army is irrelevant.

As a general rule I agree with you. But he's been particularly adamant that he knows best on this issue. Its rinse, repeat over and over. At some point, let it go. You disagree with our AD and coach, fine. Stating your opinion definitively as facts when you have no experience while basically disagreeing and demeaning athletic officials (at every turn on every issue) is old. And you'll notice the previous post he uses to justify this opinion was full of errors. But I get what you're saying.

Sheesh. Woe is me. Get the phuck over it. 

And I don't disagree with a lot of what this athletic admin is doing. In fact, they've been great. But this particular issue irked me though. And when our mishap favors that juco down i35, I'm going to comment on it.

Who did we replace Army with?

It supposedly opened up future games with UH, but Liberty was the immediate filler. Army was on the schedule this year then they weren't, then a home and home was set up with Liberty for 18 & 19. Then a teaser tweet was sent out and AD commented on a bjg time series being announced and a week or so later a home and home with UH was announced for 19 & 20. So take it for what you will I guess. 

*AND FOR THE RECORD, OUTSIDE OF THIS BLIP, THIS ADMIN HAS DONE A GREAT JOB IN SCHEDULING.*

Is it wrong of me to wish that Rhyan England were still on the team for that game? 

Yes it is.

Thats like wishing cheap shot after cheap shot on your neighbor’s dog.  Poor dog, leave him alone!

And that dude does not need to come close to a football field ever again.  Can’t imagine what his son would play like in little league with dad coaching.

      A few HSO's

      1: One big problem with the NIL (aka pay for play) is that the universities are what draw the fans, not the players. People argue that "they deserve a piece of the pie", etc., but the big money comes from rabid fans and alumni of the schools, not from fans wanting to watch certain players. I wish they would form a minor league football and see how much interest there is...wait, we already have that. It's called the XFL, USFL, UFL and the players don't make much money ($5,500/wk) and there aren't many fans at the games. Put the Rengades in Alabama uniforms and the Stallions in Auburn uniforms and you'd sell out AT&T stadium. Why, because the players don't matter, the universities are what matter (as it pertains to attendance). Another example is the NBA D-League. What kind of money are those guys making? (I'll save you the Google search, they make $25K/yr). I have to assume that's peanuts compared to many of the NIL deals players are getting. If you want to get paid, go pro. Nobody is making you go to college to get a free education that will benefit you for the rest of your life. 2: I hate the argument that "coaches make big money and can leave for another job whenever they want to." See the last two sentences of the previous point. If you want to be able to do that, go pro. Make it your career just like the coaches have done. There are a very limited number of head coaching jobs at the college level and these coaches have put in LONG hours and worked their way up to the positions that they are in. Nobody was giving them millions of dollars when they were a GA busting their tail for nothing.

      Those schools you mentioned have already reached out to The Big 12. Also Louisville and Pitt have 100+ year historic rivalries with Cincy and WVU respectively. Keg of Nails and Backyard Brawl will both be owned by the Big 12 soon enough.

      If they wanted to join the ACC, they would have joined with Cal and Stanford. We already tore the Pac 12 apart, the ACC is next.
