More reason to get out of the NCAA. If DIII can run a 40 team football playoff tournament to find a true national champion then so can everyone else. But they won’t. The G5 needs to act now. Rick

Just wait till we start watching Tarletan State winning bowl games in the future. Unlike North Texas they strongly uphold and protect their traditions, not mock, change or trash them. And I just got word yesterday that A&M has green lighted a Physician’s Assistant program to go forward for them, and a full blown medical school is in the very near future. Plus, they have also recieved interest from CUSA and the Mountain West conferences, which I hope they don’t do because FBS is now a fool’s game for everyone other than the 8-12 usual wealthy programs. They need to stay in their lane and take advantage of the FCS, which is what should do also if things don’t change. Of course we’ll never do that, but we should. Rick

Yeah, that defense, which is 47th in yards allowed, came within a whisper of beating the current Big 12 Champion this season, finished with 9 wins and a second bowl championship in a row. And UTSA finished 71st in Yards Allowed Per Game. That’s not a world beater defense but it’s a far cry better than 125th. Maybe that’s why they’re 4-1 vs North Texas the past five years? Rick

What a silly question, even for you. “BOBCATS ARE BACK-TO-BACK FIRST RESPONDER BOWL CHAMPIONS” https://txst.com/news/2025/1/3/football-bobcats-are-back-to-back-first-responder-bowl-champions.aspx Ricck

He sure did. Rick

If I was G.J. I’d be watching the portal for him. Rick

Defense. Rick

He’s a Kyler Murray starter kit and you would think we’d get the most out of him while we have him, which is at QB. But you and I know we can never underestimate North Texas’ ability to F things up. I haven't witnessed overall team speed on a HS team like like I saw on the NC team yesterday since the 1983 Daingerfield Tigers. Westlake beat North Shore twice this year, the second time badly in the semi’s and NC was making it look like child’s play against them yesterday. A very impressive, dominant season by them for sure. Rick

Yup. I’d take 100 more just like him and his attitude he plays the game with any day. Rick

A contract? Rick

No one is mad at the players, we’re mad at the system and the bleak future it holds in front of us as a G5. But you go ahead and waste and throw your money away. To each his own. Rick

No, there can be NIL and transfer portal. There will just be rules set in place for them. Or we can just keep doing the same and sit on our hands and watch this shit show continue. Rick

The court ruling says nothing that prevents from getting out from under the thumb of the mouse and form a new alliance that allows us to invoke rules and contractual obligations like normal business entities run on. Rick

FYI: Not sure I ever posted this or not, but Colorado was also in the script plans, but something happened during filming one day and their team got scrapped. When I wasn’t in the Dillo suit doing my scenes I was working in the costume department for head costumer Dan Moore and his main asstant Barry Kellog, and as the liaison between production and our athletic department. CU sent two trunks full of game-worn uniforms and both were accompanied by an athletic department employee. Nice guy and very helpful. The day he arrived with the trunks(huge lockers on wheels with hinges and keyed locks) we immediately opened them up and sorted them out by positions, and I saw Eric Bienemy’s jersey and gave it to him and told him to hide it, we won’t use it because it would get stolen for sure, so he did. Then a week later before we shot the scenes with those uni’s he was gone? Someone said they had heard he got told to pack up and come home. We never knew why? Rick

Did you see the 109,000 plus at the Texas-Texas A&M game? You think they care? You think Disney/ESPN who line the pockets of the NCAA power brokers with billions care if next years A&M-Texas game only has 105,000? The system is set to keep the same top 15 schools hoarding the money and players every year, and that’s how they want it. Rick
