I think they know LIV can't fund out like it is forever and that the reason LIV happened is because of the monopoly the PGA has with little room for player input. GMG

Are there "DJ's" at KNTU? I just thought it was all computer programmed, because I rarely hear humans other than promos. I recall the days when there were different genres of music during the week. There may be a reggae block for a few hours on Sunday, new wave (George Gimarc, for instance), etc. Lots of jazz but other things, and humans with personalities and musical tastes they knew something about when they programmed the shows. Why not do that? GMG

Carlos Ortiz finished fourth in this weekend's LIV Golf stop, at Bedminster. Payday: 1,050,000. He led his team, captained by Sergio Garcia, to a third place finish. I couldn't find what the team payouts were but Carlos likely made in the range of 1,250,000 for the three day tournament. He has played in two LIV tournaments, finishing 2nd in his Portland debut.

I was sitting next to a TTU alum last night at a wedding reception. He told me one of the alumni foundations (may be the only one...I didn't ask for detail) raised money to provide $25,000 to every player on the TTU football team, including walk ons, and the women's basketball team. He said they were trying to raise money for athletes in all other sports also. We got interrupted so I was unable to clarify if men's basketball was considered an other sport in Lubbock. One time payment that they allegedly will try to fund each year. GMG

I will be starting a half marathon in West Virginia at kickoff, half and state #34. For the first 33, I have listened to a podcast of Dennis Mitchell’s Breakfast with the Beatles. For this one, I will be listening to MeanGreen football. Give me a bit of adrenaline Mean Green, and I may just get a PR. GMG

KNTU has been my go to sleep music. That’s probably not a complement but I find listening to music I am not invested in allows me to enjoy, then drift away like listening to a good bedtime story. If it becomes true pirate, college radio, something I always wished it would become, I’ll listen when I am in discovery mode. GMG

I'll pray for rain and cold. GMG

upgrade....and local. GMG

Vito: Stop the presses! Re-write the Football 2022 insert! GMG

Uhm, can't wait for softball season (reason #37) GMG

Aloft downtown (Marriott property). It's in a refurbished old building. Lots of good food near by. GMG

FFR, I salute you. GMG

Heard the Saudis are funding their own league. GMG

Just a great team to watch. Met the Rainey's, proud parents of the CUSA tournament MVP. Man, did they have a lot to celebrate. And so did everyone else at the Lace. Congrats, ladies! GMG

Final with the run rule, 11-1 in 5. GMG

Lexi Cobb over .400 now. All-around studette. GMG

From my Memphis alum friend (donor/perennial season ticket holder): They didn’t want him to leave, but we had a freshman that ended up playing last year when Gunnell was hurt. Gunnel is big time. GMG

After a double bye, NT starts the CUSA tournament it is hosting Thursday at noon. #BeatCharlotte

Cosmopolitan if you are with someone you love. Its a Marriott property, if you're a points whore like me. Venetian rooms are massive if you need space. I also am a fan of the downtown area. The last time we played UNLV in Vegas, my dad used his comps at Binions to get me a limo to/from the game. First stadium I knew to serve adult beverages. GMG

Late inning heroics from the mound and the plate. Fun team to follow. GMG

Both were elbow injuries. Apparently happened on the same day. GMG

Texas, A&M, Ohio State, Michigan, Georgia, Penn State, Alabama, Oklahoma, Florida, LSU, Wisconsin, Florida State, Auburn, Iowa, Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina, Michigan State, Louisville, and Arkansas The money those teams brings in correlates well with the investment most of these program put into football, and to a lesser extent, athletics in general. That investment started a long, long time ago when a handful of college administrators recognized the potential value that big and fast fellas running with and throwing a ball could bring to their university. They innovated, invested, branded, even cheated, all in the realization that winning a game brings more publicity and money to a school than just about any academic accomplishment. They beat teams from nearby military bases and less visionary, underfunded schools, and they developed rivalries with the other visionaries. And their brands grew, bringing pride to their alums, and people from all across the country became fans of some of those teams, whether they went to school there or not. Very few underfunded, underinvested and less visionary schools move up to the elite level. But they can continue to play the sport's elites. And fans of those schools that didn't jump in fairly early pay, admittedly a lot less, to watch and care and dream. GMG

And 4-2 today. Another series win. GMG

Putting together my work/play travel calendar and ran into a big whole in our schedule, per https://fbschedules.com/2022-north-texas-football-schedule/ Shows no So Miss or Marshall in October. Both schools show Sun Belt opponents those weeks. Mean Green Sports and ESPN continue to reflect these schools on our October calendar. I understand this is still being fought out but missed the schedule change thread. Any updates? Does NT have a back up plan to fill the schedule gap from Oct 1 to Oct 29? GMG
