Arguably our best unis. Bonus: names on back

@GMG_Dallas, @Censored by Laurie, and @TheColonyEagle for providing me a different perspective on student loan forgiveness. Not sure why the thread was closed as it sure didn’t seem to me to go off the rails. I actually thought most of the thread was a good discussion. Anyway, since I didn’t get a chance to post before the lock, I wanted to specifically thank those I mentioned because they gave me a different lens from which to view the whole situation and gave me something to think about. I’m sure this thread will be locked too, which is fine. I just wanted to publicly say thank you. Also, thanks to @El Paso Eaglefor getting the discussion started.

With a nod to our depth chart and all of the “OR’s”, give me Aune OR Adaway OR Bush.

Only one SR listed on offense and 3 on defense. Nice.

I always thought Cougar High was a shot at academics, not athletics.

MGSF NIL as is stands is possibly the worst thing to ever happen to college sports. Now, get the NIL instituted with some rules and regulations that honor its original intent and this is not even a question because boosters aren’t supposed to be bankrolling “NIL.”

When you say Aunulty, I get the point. but you said McNulty as if SL was the one that started him. Thanks for clarifying.

This was your answer to the question, “If Littrell beat UTEP will you forgive his past sins?” I take that to mean, no, you will not forgive his past sins and that SL starting McNulty sealed the deal for you. So yeah, I guess I missed your point.

Ummmm…McNulty was Lil Mac, not Lil Mumbles.

They should go ahead and use his name and likeness: “At Raisin’ Canes, we don’t raise our chickens to be quitters like Brennan. Our chickens are committed to the job so that you can enjoy a nice meal.”

This is what I’m thinking. A guy who’s been there a month is putting up very similar numbers to a guy who’s been here three years. That being said, just go with the guy that gives us the best chance to win.

Credit where credit is due. SMU fans are great at this.

Since the NCAA makes billions of dollars, alumni from members schools should raise money to pay athletes?

I thought Gunnell’s dad decided that Grant needed to transfer again😬

Is it the same idiot that voted for UTSA?

Just wait until he actually plays a game😁

This is a unique group in that they are all very deserving. Congrats to each of them. Side note: Brelan is maybe my all time favorite. He was fun to watch.

I’m the star QB at UNT. Rudy’s BBQ pays me the going rate to make an appearance and sign autographs. Pretty simple and I believe the original intent of NIL. Since they are amateurs, they shouldn’t think anything of the coach making good money in his chosen profession. Maybe it should inspire them to get their degree so that they can follow in the coaches footsteps. If I’m a high school kid am I mad because I make $12/hr working at a fast food joint while my coach is making over $100,000/year? Extreme example, but as I’ve said before, where does it end?

NIL should be what a kid can get outside of school once they are at a school. It should not be alumni creating “collectives” to pay players and entice them to go to a particular school. Since he was mentioned earlier, let’s talk about Johnny Football. No doubt he should have been able to get paid for signing autographs. Should have also gotten a percentage of every #2 jersey sold. To me, that’s what NIL should be, but it is a far cry from it. And please stop mentioning how much coaches make*. If you’re an FBS head coach, you have a college degree and you’ve paid your dues to get one of only 130 jobs in America. Quit trying to equate that to a 20 year old who is a good college football player, who, I might add, was happy to get a scholarship offer from their school only a couple of years prior. Speaking of that scholarship, a college degree can end generational poverty. I’d say that’s a great incentive colleges are providing to these athletes. *I agree that most head coaches are overpaid

I want spectacular, but after the past two seasons that’s a big ask. A game manager would be a significant upgrade for us.

Not a great cap, but I probably would have gone home with it as I assume it was pretty cheap.

I think of a game manager as a QB who just takes what the defense gives them and doesn’t have to be spectacular. Just make the basic throws and keep the chains moving.

That’s when I stopped reading.
