How Lamar's WAC tenure turned into one big mess
edcollopy replied to Jonnyeagle's topic in Mean Green Football
Facts still remain they won't have the money to get any bigger. They get almost no TV revenue. They drew few fans despite being great. They have a ton of apathy all the way around. They also don't have the student body that can supply the fee revenue that you can get at UNT. It will not end well. -

increasing travel costs in leagues that draw flies to games, have no tv deals, and have very little alumni support is a bad recipe. -

I had to look him up on his twitter feed and it's a link in there. -
Damon West tackles tough topics in new book
edcollopy replied to cousin oliver's topic in Mean Green Football
I read his first book and thought it was fantastic. Excellent and very quick read. Every teenager should read it at the very least as a warning. -

I bought a KD Shark shirt this morning. Hope we can all chip in to show that they're supported at UNT. -

This type of player movement will only drive interest in college sports further down. We saw the same thing w/ the one and dones. It sounds like it's such a great idea, but part of the allure of college sports (or sports in general) is watching players grow, earn their time, and become great. You get to KNOW the names of the players on most teams. Other than UNT, how many of you know any players on any other teams anymore. I grew up knowing the starting five for every Big East and ACC team. Ratings and attendance are dwindling across the board! -

wow...he just dropped new gear on his website too....these seems very strange. -
Prob about 50 or so. Nothing too specific other than updates on recruiting changes, nil, need for support for the student athlete. Grant talked a lot about how he only recruits kids willing to put team over self, and how much they all care about academics. All stressed how well the kids are doing as STUDENT athletes. I was fired up enough to commit to buying season tickets for all 3 sports even though I’ll have to donate most of them.

Went to the meeting Houston tonight. Haven’t been to one in a long time. Got me really fired up. Good to see Seth show a lot more life than he does in press conferences. Grant is incredible speaking to groups. He’s a funny ass dude!! If you’re in Austin, make the effort to go. They welcome the support and it’s really well run.

Done!

How they think will be good for the long term success of the sport is beyond me. Funny how they consider a 24-40k a year education nothing.

NIL has deadened my love for college athletics. I didn't think that would be possible, but I don't care nearly as much as I did a few years ago because of the nonstop transfers and the money...it's no longer the same.

50/50 plays are instructed to go to the offense, so it’s got nothing to do with them being Virginia. The lead might have been a bit wide to get the proper angle on the play.

Jace Ruder taking lead so far this spring
edcollopy replied to Dannymacfan's topic in Mean Green Football
Just find someone that can complete a high percentage, keep chains moving, and can be a threat to run! We're not asking for much are we?? -
Definitely some pot shots at the Murphy twins.

I think it's pretty cool Rick is still involved.

Can't believe I have to miss it w/ the game 20 minutes away. I have to ref @ Nicholls State. May try to hit the women's game on Sunday.

As a coach told me while reffing a basketball game, the kids don’t want to be coached anymore…they want to be praised. When I saw Bennet lay into one of them after a personal foul, I instantly thought portal. Sad.
