I hear what you’re saying but not every swing is going to be a home run. Curious to how long the deal is. Hoping every Datcu is basically a huge advertisement for UNT Athletics. It feels like something that works for now, if we win in the AAC maybe that changes

Boise had the best run any G5 will ever have- won one of the most iconic games in recent CFB history, kept an HOF coach around for ten plus years and had a incredible run of winning football yet.... They're still in the MWC and not the rumored selection for PAC expansion and their upcoming schedule (besides Oregon at home) is pretty much equal to ours. I'd be pissed if I was a Boise fan but just shows winning doesn't change everything. 09/02 - at Washington 09/09 - UCF 09/16 - North Dakota 09/30 - at Memphis 2024 08/31 - at Georgia Southern 09/07 - Oregon State 09/14 - at Oregon 09/21 - Houston 2025 08/30 - at USF 09/06 - Eastern Washington 09/13 - Oregon 09/20 - at Houston 2026 09/05 - at Oregon 09/12 - East Carolina TBA - Memphis 2027 09/11 - USF 09/18 - at Marshall 2028 09/02 - Cincinnati 09/09 - at East Carolina 09/16 - Georgia Southern 2029 09/01 - at Cincinnati 09/08 - at Washington 2030 08/31 - at Memphis 2031 09/13 - Memphis 2032 09/04 - at Rice 09/11 - Washington State 2033 09/10 - at Washington State 2035 09/08 - Rice

Love the breakdown. Little concerned about the level of play and depth at LB. Ready to be pleasantly surprised though.

Still want to know if dannymacfan, jonnyeagle, cousin Oliver and Harry have ever been seen at the same time 🙂

Not in the habit of blocking people. Even people whose opinions I don’t agree with I could probably have a pre game beer with. Lord knows I have some unpopular opinions.

You know they draw better than us, right? Had the fifth pick in the draft? Have been in a better conference than us since…forever? The better comparison to Idaho is us, not Wyoming.

This is the direction it seems like it’s going but something tells it doesn’t go there. If NIL gets reeled in, the playing field tightens up. Or if some of the traditional decent teams but not powers (Iowa, Va Tech and those teams) get passed by less traditional teams who spend big on NIL, there might be enough pushback to keep it from going to super conferences. Or if ratings start to go in the wrong direction, maybe common sense prevails. (Who am I kidding?)

I didn’t hate it but like other things in the RV era, it was taken from somewhere else.

Just goes to show the most successful G5s (ever?) have to use promotions to get butts in seats.

You gotta love how he doesn’t blame Larry Scott, the university presidents, the ADs, etc. It’s the fans’ fault.

I can't say I trust anybody yet. But he has a roomful of QBs to choose from and make it work this year. We get solid QB and decision making this year and that'll go a long way in gaining trust from the fan base.

Why would the Big Ten act now, if it happens UO and UW won't get full shares and if anybody leaves the PAC it only increases the Big Ten leverage. They'd be dumb to offer them until the PAC figures it out. I'd be shocked if any of the schools rumored to be leaving sign a hefty GOR. Why would they? Who wants to be attached that much to a possible sinking ship? The only sense any of this needs to make is it's better to be on solid ground than quicksand and right now the Big 12 is more solid than the PAC. Could that change? Sure, but to use your logic if the PAC already had a good deal with everyone in agreement they would've announced it by now.

No sponsor, just Kettle Corn Stadium.

I’d say it’s 80% they go. But also about 60% the PAC 12 doesn’t exist in five years.

“Relative to expansion, I said coming out of our spring meetings (in West Virginia) that we have a plan. And we have a plan for expansion. And I am not really going to address it today,” Yormark said. “We do have a plan, and hopefully we can execute that plan sooner than later." “But as I have always said, I love the composition of this conference right now..." This ain't over. What was he supposed to say, "Yeah we're going after...."

Pencil me in for the ACC having a down year.

What I want to know is what was the percentage of kids who walked away from football before the portal and now after. I think some who enter the portal never really have the intention (or a much lesser intention) of playing football again.

Booger's hands and arms were underrated.

I think he thought it might go away. Then the school paper reported on more allegations and had more corroboration. Even still, thought he’d only get games suspended, not fired. Going 1-11 last year probably didn’t help. I remember watching the game where they stunned Notre Dame in 95. He’s pretty much been there since.

Not the school I see him leaving for.

I just don’t think recruiting is going to change +- 20% under Morris in the near future which means he’ll have to be successful in the areas that good G5s are- developing quarterbacks, winning close games, effective defense, good special teams and getting the most out of the back end of recruiting classes. Reducing coaching turnover wouldn’t hurt either. Any coach has to be flexible but I would hit high schools on the offensive side and transfers on defense. I’m not expecting miracles from Morris this year but it’s going to be interesting if he sticks to his “play offense to help the defense” take he mentioned earlier in the year. If we’re flinging it around against teams like FIU and La Tech, teams we should run against, not the greatest of signs.

You think Cal fans travel?

All the main players turn into four large conferences only for it all to fall apart ten years later and everybody ends up back where they started.
