Is the game on ESPN +? I'm there and don't see it listed anywhere.

Who else applied? She could have been the best available. And, the Commissioner is generally hated by the fans of almost every conference. Commissioners don't work for the fans, they follow the instructions of the Presidents. As soon as the Presidents aren't happy, they are gone.

How many markets have more than one FBS school? I know DFW has 3 and Houston has 2. Miami might have 3, but I'm not sure about that. I really don't know. I'm not directly working in the industry anymore, but my friends who are tell me the most important this is "how many subscribers can a school generate," followed closely by "how many total eyeballs." No G5 schools "deliver" a major market, even very few P5 schools can deliver most of any given major market. The question no matter what the conference is how many subs and how many eyeballs is NT actually going to drive?

A win next Saturday certainly wouldn't hurt!

THIS! Dfw is the 4th or 5th TV market (we keeping going back and forth with Philly). We have to show We can deliver enough viewers to make it worth adding us. But, don't discount the value of people willing to pay to stream out games. Every media person I talk to says streaming is the future. That is why CBS, NBC, and now even Disney have created streaming platforms. If NT can prove it will bring enough viewers and butts in seats, then even SMU won't try to block us. The problem is I'm not sure we are quite there yet.

From what I can tell, the Commissioner is the not popular in most conferences not called SEC or B1G.

While I've never lived in Allen, I worked there for from 88 till 2012. Many of my coworkers talked about the decision to limit to only one high school. The reason was civic unity when compared to Plano. The people who lived in Allen looked at how progressively more divided Plano became as more and more high schools were added. Generally, the newer high schools were in the newer and more socio-economically advanced areas which only increased to divisions between the parts of town. I can't remember his name, but a (now former) Principal made a very passioned speech to the school board to never allow a second high school to keep Allen from ever having the extreme divisions Plano had (and still has). Multiple Moms with whom I worked who knew district officials swore it was not about sports but rather community unity. And, on a Friday night Eagle Stadium is going to have a very high percentage of the total number of high school kids and their parents in one place cheering one team. The academics at Allen are among the best in the state. Niche ranks them as #9 out of 1,029 school districts in the state of Texas. When explosive growth slowed in Allen and moved to Frisco, that school board looked at Allen and did NOT want to repeat the giant school strategy. In multiple new articles, they said they felt students in Allen had no individual identites in such a giant school and they wanted to avoid that. Because of the explosive growth, almost ALL of Frisco is upper socio-economic - there are no "bad" parts of town. The school board at the time announced they never wanted any high school to be larger than 4A (which because of classification changes is now 5A). Their system works well, too. Niche ranks them as #7 in the state! Two very different approaches to adding high schools with almost identical results.

Wow. Interesting picture of the ball bouncing out of his hands.

Hey, the threat has worked so far!

While we like the transfer portal today after getting a great QB, the last few weeks we've hated losing what felt like a lot of players. As of Jan 27, 2910 football players has entered the transfer portal. Schools are reserving scholarships for potential transfers that used to go to high school players. The trickle down is hurting the chances of guys like Argyle's C.J. Rogers who won more games in 2020 than any other HS QB in Texas and threw more TD passes than any QB in the Dallas area. Here's the story from today's DMN. https://edition.pagesuite.com/popovers/dynamic_article_popover.aspx?artguid=ed62d298-1ba8-4fa6-b98e-59278de8f762&appid=1125

Can we drop the whole "Seth won't look at Graduate Transfers" thing now.

Hey, someone's going to give him a chance. And in the since he was let go, I've not heard of anything additional happening. Hopefully he's figured out a way to discipline without hitting anyone. I think both Leavitt and Bennet will do fine in their new jobs.

Does a wild bear ... I think someone will give him a chance as a head coach again, punching a kid then telling players and assistant coaches to change their stories to protect him isn't a quality reference. USF and he reached a settlement of $2.5 million on the roughly $7.8 million he was owed. Up to now, he hasn't accepted any head coaching positions assuming one was offered.

No doubt Tennessee would not be talking "integrity" if they weren't being forced to do so. But Freeze is NOT a coach you even interview while the NCAA is still doing an investigation of your program.

Doesn't look like UT will hire Freeze.

You nailed it!

Five, including two that already played a senior year. So really three entered the portal. I don't think of three as a mass exodus.

I'm surprised at Edinburg Junior College/Pan American College/Pan American University/UT Pan Am/UTRGV starting a football program. They have the dubious destination of being kicked out of the Sun Belt Conference for multiple NCAA infractions followed by trying to run a program with a total budget lower than what some Sun Belt schools pay their basketball assistants.

I would think he could at least condemn the actions if not taking responsibility. I could have missed it, but he doesn't appear to think it was bad.

Any defensive linemen in the transfer portal?

I've got one of her cookbooks already. I guess I'll need to get more and show support for our newest athlete.
