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

WRONG! Two conference championships. True, we blew every playoff opportunity, though most games were close. At least there was excitement in the air after each season…unlike now. But along the way we had some helacious, competitive seasons, including the most famous where we were the #1 ranked team for 7 weeks in ‘88 and beating T Tech, Rice and getting robbed by tU in Austin. We had other seasons where we beat K State, TCU, New Mexico, New Mexico St, Arkansas St and SMU. And we had a lot more positive press in the metroplex than any time we’ve had the past 10 years outside of the Arkansas win. Rick

Sure it can happen but doesn’t seem to at the rate it’s happening at the G5 and FCS players are more easily replaced I would think? Rick

Good to read some of our folks here are finally waking TFU! Its time for the G5 to band together and leave the NCAA to reform a new collegiate alliance or for North Texas to drop down to FCS with a plan to dominate it? Rick

And now maybe the NIL lick bags will understand why? Rick

Since that’s three halves are you admitting you failed college algebra? LOL! Rick

Hell, after nearly three weeks of open portal who knows what we’ll look like? Rick

They finished at 7-5 They not only beat nUTSAck, they routed them 49-10. They have been FBS as long as nUTSAck has been. They lost to the eventual Big12 Champions, Airizona State by 3. Their 5 losses were by an average of 5.4 points per game. They have the 5th best total offense right behind us,…BUT…has the 47th best overall defense. (Uh oh!!!!). So I’ll ask the silly question: What exactly makes you “feel” they are somehow below us? Rick

….risky. Rick
