  1. If they have to play on Tuesday and Thursday nights, it is not worth it.
  2. I feel like they sat in a room with a list of free agents and asked who from the list they think would be cheap that fans would recognize their names. Now we have Colon and Lincecum. So excited for this season.
  3. Given how the Rangers not paying for their new stadium and fleecing the city and almost refusing to be competitive, not sure how excited I am to go to a game anyways.
  4. If we can get someone to even get Heisman votes, that would be a tremendous achievement. The is a 0% chance that we ever have someone here win the award. The deck is already stacked.
  5. Doesn't this guy troll CUSA fans on a regular basis? I seem to recall crazy crap coming from ODU a lot and this guy as the author. Maybe I am wrong, but probably worth just ignoring him.
  6. Honestly, I am not sure. My understanding that it is a corruption investigation. I really don't know how the law was broken either, but they have been investigating for awhile, so I assume they have something in mind.
  7. That may be the case for the NCAA, but the FBI may not be so kind.
  8. Yeah, and those signs are missing the entire point. You remember those kinds of signs because they are funny and you decide to remember them. The problem there is, (if were tied to a brand) can you remember the brand or company that placed the sign? Recall is the single most important part of any advertisement. If you cannot associate what you remember with the brand or product, then the ad did not do anything for the company that placed it. The one exception of a group that is focused only on the message and not the product (anti-smoking or something of that nature).
  9. Billboards sounds great and all, but I don't think they move the needle at all for anyone. I would rather see us send folks to college fairs and speak on HS campuses. I honestly cannot say the last time I actually looked at a billboard and I doubt many HS students pay them much mind.
  10. Mostly it says that they stream sports online and more frequently illegally with more of that attributed to 18-24 year olds. Oddly, the younger people with less money don't have subscription TV services. It is a footnote at the bottom that fewer say they follow sports or follow sports that are not the same sports that you do. It says nothing about injuries or time or any reasoning about why that may be. Given how little is said about survey methodology, where the 1,500 people surveyed were from, and some of the exact questions from the survey, I have doubts about the validity of the data. If this is a global study, the higher percent that don't follow sports could be cultural for the part of the world they are from. The other issue here is that it is obviously not a representative sample given that ~1,000 of the 1,500 were "millennials" (that the article does a poor job of defining and using consistently). There are some serious issues with the data presented and how the article treats it. I would call it an interesting directional article, but nothing conclusive was discovered as part of the study and the article doesn't call any of that into question or seek to look critically at the findings.
  11. Really? Do you have any evidence of this?
  12. We have one for me and one for my wife. The frame is metal and they have the logo on them. They are sturdy enough that they have help up well. My only complaint is that the padding on the seat has deflated some with use, but it is pretty minor as they are still comfortable.
  13. The stadium store sells a padded seat with a back that folds to carry easily. Pretty comfortable and only something like $35. Then you can use it for as long as you are able to maintain it.
  14. Constitutional question: would the punishment in question be considered cruel and unusual?
  15. Wow, so FAU wins the NC next year, then the Super Bowl the year after?
  16. Yes, it appears to still exist. http://www.arenafootball.com/
  17. The MGC was always stated as being for scholarships, not general Athletics budget, but it does free up money that would go to scholarships to other things.
  18. No, that seems like a sound decision. It is probably more valuable as an actual basketball.
  19. Those are now vintage, no need to throw them away.
  20. I did notice that he came off the court for a bit and Draper ran the offense. Not sure that is the plan in every game, but I did notice that it was something that was a bit new.
  21. Right, but it takes individual game by game analysis and ain't nobody got time for that.
