  1. If the Florida AG is correct and the ACC GOR gives ESPN an out in 2027, we need to expect that FSU and Clemson will force their hand with ESPN and get themselves out of that conference, possibly with other players like UNC and NC State. At that point, USF, Memphis, and probably Tulane (provided they continue with a decent football showing the next two seasons) will move to the ACC just because they hate us. If we aren't already high-tailing it out of the AAC, mark my words: We will be playing Sam Houston and Tarleton State. What's left of the AAC will probably combine with C-USA or even look at a three-way combined super conference with the leftovers of the MWC + AAC + CUSA (Because B10 and SEC will be up to near 20 members each). Without the three teams from the Carolinas and FSU, the ACC will be a shadow of its former self, but if they manage to keep everyone else in it, it may still retain its perception of a "Power" conference.
  2. It was probably more sustainable, inclusive, equitable, neurodivergent, diverse, and pansexual friendly than our antiquated PC (Pre-Covid) parade. Our students won't stand for anything less... and also won't stand at sporting events either!
  3. Boxers or bikini briefs?
  4. $75 a ticket. I assume $25 was something behind the baskets or in the corners.
  5. I'm sure the Master's programs that UNT is seeing enrollment drops in are the university's top profit center. Their student population probably uses the least amount of on-campus resources during the program compared to undergrads and PhDs, and they're probably overpaying or seeing less student aid usage to be in the programs. The flip side of the coin is that it's entirely possible that people are starting to realize that employers don't really care about Master's level paper as much as they did 20+ years ago. As the state of the world is going this week, if there is a prolonged economic downturn and a depressed hiring market for undergrads, most universities generally see an uptick in kids graduating and keeping on with it into a Master's program. I would advise undergrads that they're lighting money on fire, but if you can't find a job or start paying on loans, it can seem like a real option to keep learning. Will it result in a higher level of pay once they first time enter the workforce? Probably not, especially in today's world of AI threatening lower entry-level jobs, and H-1Bs threatening the rest. But the average Gen X parents will still push University degrees as a solution to all their unemployed kids' problems, just like the Boomer parents did before them.
  6. Great bar environment and even better seafood restaurant next door. If you want a killer Italian Meat sandwich, arrive early enough to get one from Enzo's next door. Points if you sneak it into the Wilfred. 😅 Kudos to getting them to change the door pincode. I think it had been set to the year of Woodstock since the Wilfred opened.
  7. Is it lateral if: TX State goes to the PAC-Reboot with one other AAC Team that isn't us Memphis and USF go to the ACC UTEP is in Mountain West We're suddenly playing Sam Houston and Tarleton State in a combined AAC-USA? That's nightmare fuel for me, and seems entirely possible if Mosley keeps on Mosleying along with status quo.
  8. I love that one game at the AAC Tourney costs 80% of what season tickets cost behind the bench at The Pit. I know I ignored this email, but if I had bought the full tourney ticket, would it only have cost 1.5x the price of one game's ticket?
  9. Hub Club was not $240. I did start with a two though... and you get a "free" parking pass!
  10. Shouldn't UNT have a pipeline of people to hire from and intern for peanuts from its Sports Entertainment Marketing program at the Ryan Biz School? They should be doing class projects for free for the sports marketing group in the Athletic Dept. The students are green, and their ideas may not be honed, but they're closest to the problem of student engagement. Why not give them free experience with a business case, and the Athletic Department free consulting on the solution to student attendance. I always complained to those who would listen at UNT that they didn't do a great job connecting any of us in my program with the hundreds upon thousands of employers in the DFW area. Meanwhile, other U's in Texas had pipelines of employers ready to snap up a new grad and pay them pennies just to get their foot in the door. Unsurprisingly, the biz school can't even connect with the people across the freeway in the Athletic Center.
  11. If Charles keeps talking like that he might find his statue outside Jordan-Hare "relocated" to the Auburn trash compactor.
  12. My wife did not seem as excited about seven home games as I was. I then explained that if you break down the ticket price per game, it was an absolute bargain, which led to her asking how much they cost. I then faked a medical emergency not to answer the question. 😁
  13. How many people still respond to this guy's tweets trying to correct him cracks me up. The bit has been going on for years. I think the guy running the account wrote a book about it. The whole schtick is that he's wrong. But SMU is Clearance Rack Baylor, so he's right about that one.
