GRN-WHT

Owe him for what??

TV markets don’t matter in college football. It’s really simple-no matter where you’re located, if you put out a product worth watching, people will watch it. The Myrtle Beach bowl was the lowest rated bowl of the season by a long shot. 2 million less viewers than Liberty v Coastal. All of our previous bowl games were also at or near the bottom of TV ratings. The kool aid is strong when people think we’ve actually put out a product that the general public are interested in tuning in to. And the 1982 game that Plumm always likes to talk about the ratings for-it was probably the only game on TV at the time.

And Grant isn’t the highest paid coach in the conference. Both men took over programs that were in the toilet. One is bringing home trophies, while the other still has his program in the toilet. Seeing how Grant was able to turn the basketball program around proves even more what a fraud Littrell is.

Why would a Sun Belt team move to the worst conference in the country? What does CUSA have to offer these schools except for easy wins?

Seriously? Quick schedule check- including games that were canceled- ESPN2, ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, PAC-12 Net, FS1, FS1.

It’s not just AAC and above, it’s any school in a conference that has a relationship with ESPN. Knock the Tuesday games all you want, but because the MAC and Sun Belt have that relationship, when teams from those conferences make the top 25, their games will be broadcast on an ESPN linear network in a reasonable time slot on a Thursday/Friday/Saturday. A top 25 team CUSA team at this point in the season is still likely to be on a web stream, while a meaningless game such as NT/Rice is on NFLN. There’s no flex in the TV schedule. Don’t underestimate how much this media deal hurts in recruiting. It’s a dagger. In the college football world, you have to be in bed with ESPN. Even if it’s on a Tuesday night, because eventually the conference will have a top 25 team and get flexed into Saturday games. The CUSA media deal is by far the worst in FBS.

If momma got butthurt over what was said by this fanbase, she’s going to be in for a rude awakening when she starts hearing from the FSU fans.

Second in the ACC gets you a legitimate broadcast on a linear network every week and an automatic bid to the Orange Bowl. First in CUSA gets most of their games broadcast on an obscure internet stream, likely produced by students and a bid to a bowl nobody cares about.

When was the last time anybody in CUSA had a season worthy of being ranked? There’s no bias against CUSA, the fact is that it’s a piss poor football conference these days. App St. was ranked before they lost last week. It’s a simple formula-win some damn games.

They only sold a small amount of those helmets, not 100. The ones they sold were probably past their lifespan. I believe I heard they would possibly wear them only in night games.

Exactly right. It wasn’t because they are SMU, it was because they won some damn football games. The attention SMU received was no different than what UCF received the last few years. The media love the G5 underdog. TCU (before Big 12), Boise, UCF, Western Michigan a couple years ago, all G5 media darlings. SMU and App St had their chance this year.

The people smoking something are the ones who couldn’t do a simple search to see how tickets sales are doing. Here, I’ll do it for you: https://www.google.com/amp/s/dfw.cbslocal.com/2019/04/23/2020-nhl-winter-classic-cotton-bowl-sold-out/amp/ The damn thing sold out. In minutes.

What window? They have to wait 30 minutes plus a 10 minute warm up to start after the last strike in a 10 mile radius. There’s been constant lightning in the area

Guarantee both teams agreeed to cancel the game. They both have multiple NFL picks and weren’t going to put them back out there on a crappy field and lightning in the area.

He obviously read all the negativity on this message board.

There's great award availability for flights to ABQ on American for those who have AA miles.

The thinking that Army is relevant with the CFB media is very Old Denton. They don’t register. CBS Sports isn’t a major network-not even big enough to rate with Nielsen. Like us, they’re just another team- if they’re good, they’ll get attention, if not, nobody cares. The Army name is meaningless in today’s world of college football.

hahahaha. You expect people to believe RV over Smatresk? That's funny. The snake oil salesman himself. The dude who said we'd have baseball by 2012 or whatever year. The dude that hired Tony Benford and kept him here 4 years. Haha

Did you read the article??

Absolutely. But we can't even get the good Nike shirts made available to us fans.

Pretty sure that’s just an alternate Jersey in addition to the usual greens. Like the football team has added grey, soccer has added neon.

Where will they compete? The snake pit? Super pit? Practice facility? Because they can’t leave the equipment up full time at the competition venue. Unless they are built a combination practice/competition venue. So you’re looking at building at least one new facility for them. At least 2 sets of equipment, because they’re not going to tear down the practice facility equipment and lug it across campus every time there’s a meet. They’re damn sure not going to use whatever crap equipment that has been sitting in storage for years (if there is any.) This is about the worst idea for adding women’s sports I’ve heard. Give me beach volleyball or lacrosse or field hockey.

You do realize the survey asked specific questions about things like the PA and the band right? Of course these things aren’t going to make me stop coming and and I am satisfied with the overall experience. But if somebody asks me a specific question about the PA announcer, I’m going to say he sucks, if they ask me about the band, I’m going to say they look like crap in their shorts. The closest available response to match my thoughts on these specific questions was “very dissatisfied.” Not sure where you came up with the idea that people who express concerns with the PA and the band are ready to drive down Bonnie Brae to light the AD on fire.

Well, he did say he felt sorry for those who voted their dissatisfaction with the PA announcer and band uniforms.

So you think everybody should just mark satisfied on every metric presented no matter how good or bad?
