Oh, I know all of this and I know it would take a lot of work. You'd have to give four parties that have never played together a reason to make a lot of changes. Like Silver said, not something we have a history of doing, but I figured rather than dissecting the same crap we read every offseason with snark, I'd throw out something different and see what sticks.

Yup, the train. I know it's not a headline grabber like marching band fanfare, but hear me out. We now have a connection into Dallas and a chance to create an entire experience around it -- IF -- the DCTA, DART, university and athletics all work together. If you could create basically a moving game day experience six times a year (but the home schedule only says 5 right now and is obviously permanent /hits self in balls with mallet), you can bring in the large group of people who see Denton as a pain in the ass and start building a regional connection to this thing. It's a series of small events everywhere. It's a visible coaching staff all off season. It's events to show off the stadium when a football is not inside it. It's showing off our game day experience in as many places as possible -- both in and out of Denton. You can dismiss the train idea if you want, but, if used right, having a train nearby could be a huge asset to connect us to the bigger region. From what I've gathered from the Apogee folks, none of them will be content to let their investment collect dust the majority of the year. There will be updates and I think both sides will push each other to get the most of the sponsorship. All the other stuff in this thread (more ads, people driving around campus, go after the freshman, free tickets, etc.) is done in some form every year. I have no idea what the numbers are on what's effective and isn't, but I imagine they do.

Unless it's an issue with his previous transcripts before he came here. What you did was look up what it means when someone is arrested for murder and then tried to explain that everyone arrested is a murderer. If it is that and we don't have all of those facts (and it appears no one had the facts until right before the season, which would explain the timing of his eligibility), then you are basically yelling at JJ for not knowing what anyone knew. I wish he was playing, but I wouldn't particularly enjoy having MTSU's record for now and finding out none of it will count later because of whatever happened at Grambling.

I see no idea in this thread that hasn't already been done in the last decade, yet here we are. I think one of the biggest expansion opportunities is the train and creating a full experience that starts with killing the hassle of getting to Denton, but it would take a lot of work from a lot of people (and some flexibility that has not been there for all groups) to make it work.

Anything else would be a compamize, and I never compamize.

The Eagle's Nest is on Twitter?

WHEN WILL IOWA STATE GET THEIR SHOT!? That loss just looks worse and worse... damn the Pokes for not taking care of such a crap team.

May your day be as fruitful and productive as an unprotected lottery draft pick -- or Isaac Hines.

\And ZOMG the Ajira flight in lost was Flight 316 too!!1

This thread is the logical next step when you spend years of time entertaining uniform talk. You know all those fears/arguments made about how gay weddings would decay the institution of marriage? Well, replace gay weddings with uniform talk and marriage with a football message board and you'll see exactly how this corruption works above. Don't argue - it's science.

When I grow up, I want to be Wright Waters...or a caterpillar.

Weird that Butler fans would care about a former UNC big man playing for the Mavs... Oh, you meant Hayward. Call me when someone here makes this:

There are refs you like?

Kige Ramsey is PISSED right now on FB because the local affiliate is not preempting The View for live coverage of the firing. I've never been so happy to check someone else's stupid sent FB message then right when I saw that gem.

How dare he downplay our national profile in a national column by praising us. WHAT A DOUCHE!

Yes -- the coaches and players figuring out how to get the ball to Tony consistently is the biggest missing piece of the puzzle. He stays engaged, doesn't take silly fouls and doesn't come back to the bench with that sad, hangdog expression that makes me want to pat his future millionaire head. If we figure this out, the outside shooting will be the next thing to improve.

It was a beautiful day. Good to see the team is no longer stuck in the moment from the UALR game.

This will need a baseball style scouting system. 70 grade embouchure. 70 grade rhythm 60 grade endurance 80 grade musicality 60 grade marching (can be developed thanks to higher rhythm tool) 60 grade sight-reading (can be developed) 80 grade character/loyalty Do you have any idea how well a left-handed euphonium player with these kind of reports projects by his senior year!?

Cuttlefish, sir. It's cuttlefish. I don't deserve the vanilla paste.

We celebrate men's losses now. Keep up.

With THIS marching band? Good luck.

And that's how centipedes are made.

Could we get these sock puppets GMG avatars, names and dedicated operators? If so, I'll volunteer to take one. I think this good be huge. For example, if I had a grudge against a poster or wanted to say something about the AD but didn't want them to know who I was, why not just have Library Larry deliver the vitriol and really preserve my reputation? Also, who wouldn't want an extra set of -1s to hand out to those who wronged you? I think this could be great for the board.

If what is happening in this thread of speculation is true, then I agree. If things are being reworked behind the scenes and a new schedule comes out soon with a few key changes, I'll be happy. The season is 8 months away and there is still a bit of schedule upheaval and hand-wringing across college football. It's very fair to be concerned, but there's just no way this thing stays the way it is on paper now. If we keep this schedule, I'll bring the torches and lube for the raid on the athletic center.
