The Dutch speed skating coach had a few words about our love for football. Dutch speedskating coach Jillert Anema knows how the United States can improve on its Olympic 0-fer on the Sochi ovals -- stop playing sports like football. "You have a lot of attention for foolish sport, like American football," Anema told CNBC on Friday. "You waste a lot of talent, athletic talent, in a sport where it's meant to kill each other, to injure each other. "... (The U.S.) is so narrow-minded, and you waste a lot of good talent in a sport that sucks." Big talk for a country where half its citizens thought the Nah-zee occupation was a great idea!

Is Nicholls State also a high school?

Good God, why do we get both of the crappy Florida teams?

Thanks, this is what I got:

Yes, my reading is that this is a six-year total. The Board Book for this item indicated this: The HUB Club is a 12,000 square foot reception and dining area within Apogee Stadium and the value of the space is approximately$1.9 million. The six year agreement represents 27.5 % of the value of the space.

The Apogee deal was not all cash.

Interesting. UNT is considering refinancing the CP that was used to partially pay for stadium construction into long-term debt. Looks to me that the intent is to extend the Athletic Fee. We talked about this when the bill was passed in Austin, and that the University would have many options to keep the Athletic Fee in place indefinitely. Projects utilizing interim commercial paper that will require long term debt support: Football Stadium at UNT ($27,690,000). The original project budget for the UNT football stadium was set at an amount not to exceed $78 million. At the March 2011 Board of Regents meeting an order was approved to increase the budget to $79,011,000. The University of North Texas System (UNTS) previously issued $48 million in long term debt with the Series 2009A bond issue. The remaining $30 million was financed using commercial paper (CP), of which $27.69 million is currently outstanding. This issuance will refund $27.69 million of CP to RFS fixed rate long term debt. The estimated annual additional debt payment depending on the blend of taxable and non-taxable debt will range from $1.76 million to $1.88 million and will be funded from donations and/or Athletic operations, with debt service for the total project not to exceed 50% from the student Athletic fee.

UNT has negotiated a six-year corporate naming rights sponsorship agreement with HUB International Texas, Inc. for signage and others promotional rights. HUB International will become the exclusive Naming Rights Sponsor of the UNT Apogee Stadium Club Level (the “HUB Club”) for the term of the agreement through August 31, 2019. Over a period of the next six years, $525,000 will be paid in Sponsorship Fees.

Disagree. We should not just quit and leave. Let's see what happens and keep the lawyers on speed dial.

I guess I'll go. The best part about a road trip to San Antonio is leaving.

I blame LSU

If all teams had a chance in the playoffs, the competitiveness of the so-called "Mid-majors" would improve.

I always said if my Dolphins made it to the Super Bowl, I would go to whatever city in which it was played and tailgate until I passed out.
