  1. I'd argue that the main entrance to DATCU leaves a lot to be desired. The whole thing looks uneven and not well balanced.
  2. Great halftime adjustments, I just wish we could come out looking ready on the road. Hodge says he told them at half that he wasn't seeing the type of effort we should be having. Floyd needs to drive with confidence and take the shot, got himself into trouble a few times when I felt like he could just shoot. On a side note do we need to do steroid testing at ECU? Why were their guys so jacked? 😂
  3. We're definitely entering some strange new territory. I do prefer this over what's happening right now though. There is just too much nebulous unknown secrecy over NIL that has way too many chances for little things like unpaid payments, broken promises, to bigger things like tax evasion, fraud, money laundering, sports betting, bribes, etc. If we get contracts out of this I'd consider that a win, you can do 1 year, 2 year, or 4 year contracts and if someone wants to take a player you can buy their contract out. It gives us a nice bump to develop these players and some money to actually be able to build up a roster.
  4. I still don't think they become employees, but I do wonder if NIL payment amounts and university total pool money become public knowledge.
  5. Another reference of what a G5 did. it cost App. St. $50M.
  6. I have a feeling that not blocking the view from the AC offices was a factor in not going higher. I hope the explored all of the options you posted as well as the ones above.
  7. Thanks for the response, if they are bent on keeping that for ease of logistics I can see that. But even if you stayed within the driveway's footprint you can get a lot by just going vertical. I did a quick outline on google and this space is roughly 20k sqft. You go up 3 stories and that's 60k sqft to use.
  8. My question is why can't we do a smaller version of what Ok. St. did? Emphasis on the smaller here. Why is there a large gap underneath the expansion in the 2nd phase renderings? The expansion just hangs in the air over nothing. There is a lot of valuable space to the sides, underneath, and vertically that you could take advantage of.
  9. Agree, and by the wording they still need to finalize the design? IIRC the splitting into 2 phases is a recent development. Originally this was supposed to be done in 1 go. I can only guess that they haven't been able to raise the funds, or that delaying caused construction prices to go up. This project has been in limbo for 6 or 7 years now? I'd like to hear anyone else say if they've heard that construction was scheduled to start at the end of the FB season or am I crazy?
  10. On another note wasn't construction supposed to start at the end of this last FB season? Also from the site: So are these renderings not the final design? Under the cost section How is there not a set cost already? I'm really not trying to bash the department, but this just seems very typical of the things we complain about. No clear and defined data or communication of that data, lack of organization and planning. I can't be the only one who thinks this right?
  11. Agree, I've never liked the design they've shown for this side. It looks like a portable you add on to schools. Louisiana Tech did it right for $22M.
  12. I talked about this a while back, but unlike football "Just win" does not work for basketball. The year we won the NIT that team deserved to have a 3/4s full Super Pit for the season. There simply isn't a built in fanbase for basketball, the fans do not exist. The ath. dept. needs to focus on growing those numbers. If football were doing as good as basketball we'd be having 27k a game no problem.
  13. Agree, I see them topping out at maybe $10M per team, and wouldn't be surprised to see $7m-8m. I don't think the extra travel is worth it at that point for Memphis and Tulane.
  14. In 2 years has this staff addressed any of the concerns we've had since the beginning? This year's team was almost a carbon copy of last year's; fast offense and poor defense, vaunted offense sputters out at key times when defense does play well, poor game management by Morris, same undersized lines, same almost could have won that game scenarios, etc. Going into year 3 how do we know any of that will change? We don't, hence the uncertainty.
  15. They are shopping their media rights around, expect them to make moves by summer as they need to have 8 full members to be a conference by 2026. I don't think they get there, but if they can get $12m-$15m per team expect them to make another run at Memphis/Tulane.
  16. Loved the focused, fearless attitude of Wright. He played with a chip on his shoulder, and you could tell the Memphis game lit a fire under him. He needs to come out every game looking like that.
  17. They are a nationally known and respected team, I think they could easily be a Boise st. type. They have a very loyal fan base, and I'd take that over just being in a big metro.
  18. Agree. A poor showing next year and he should get the boot.
  19. You wouldn't be able to have a play without a penalty with a rule like that.
  20. So more uncertainty. Uncertainty for a coach going on his 3rd year. This is kind of the problem.
  21. Agree on JMU, they have a strong brand, fan base, and admin. that makes the right choices. For those same reasons I'd put App. State at #2.
  22. We do alright with the North Texas chant sometimes, we just need to make it a staple and I think people will do it.
  23. You'd need to get the athletic department onboard to get the word out to new students at orientation that this is a thing we are trying to do. Also with a prompt on the jumbo-tron to get people in the stadium to start doing it.
  24. I always thought we should chant "Go Mean Green" on kickoffs. Make noise before the kick: "Ooooooooooooooohhh" *kick* "Go Mean Green!"
  25. If we did the basics right at all levels we wouldn't be in hole we are in today. We lack a good foundation from top to bottom in many areas.
