I've never watched a game where the other team is visibly physically superior in almost ever position but they just kept getting beat. Bad, bad times in Tallahassee. Even their visiting fans were defeated before the game even started. TCU fans were vastly more energized even though the FSU fans tons of WT trashy potential. They were cordial, even.

This is a bananas thread. The DMN coverage isn't based on number of miles from Dallas city limits. SMU is magically getting much better coverage because we're suddenly in a much better conference. We crushed Florida State last night. You crushed Tulsa. When we crushed Tulsa, we got weak coverage. If you somehow win the realignment lottery and join the SEC, if you crush Louisiana State, you'd have better coverage than us.

I saw Texas State is talking to everyone including AAC. If AAC is adding and MWC needs 2 and PAC needs 1, we're going to see complete chaos with CUSA and sunbelt too. I even saw MWC is talking to MAC teams. Insanity.

The system should self-police reasonably well. If you reneg on deals, you are toast either direction. Who wants a player that will sit and demand more? Or a team that can't pay their debts?

Bizarre as CW is national and B12 is heavily shown on ESPN+

It was probably 20-25% BYU. They had a strong showing.

They are both deeply flawed but the way this was all handled is very very strange, and the offense dysfunction is beyond just getting beat. BYU did not seem to be, overall, more talented, at least not significantly. Very strange.

Why would Cal and Stanford take something like an 80% revenue cut to go to a non-P4 league. That's bananas.

UNT possibly headed west? https://x.com/RossDellenger/status/1834204561562624058?t=mRSH8CKhXRTOUsfwCNQkww&s=19

I didn't see anything that could be labeled an offense out of SMU. It was, however, offensive. You should look to pick up Preston Stone in the portal for next year

Without knowing anything about these specific guys, teams do pay for depth/rotators/backups. Obviously not as much as starters.

You're assuming they transferred for play rather than pay. Cashing in to ride the bench and get your degree is not a bad gig

Go steal that guy at ACU. Well over 500 yards against Texas Tech. Also, Houston lost to UNLV. Ouch.

Try or don't try. Some try and can't. Rice however has the money, and rich alumni, to be good. Dont get it. What's the point.

Go read the titles of that guy's other unhinged videos. Pure clickbait, zero info.

People say this kind of thing but put zero thought into how or why these decisions would be made. Why, in a millions years, would SEC ever add Texas Tech? Assuming they needed to add anyone, Tech is not historically great at football. They don't have a bigger following than any average mid tier state school. They have zero media market. They have zero local recruiting. It doesn't add any new territory for any of the above. They wouldn't generate anywhere near the revenue they take out, so they are worse than nothing. What reason are you concluding makes them the choice? Tech is one of the least likely schools to add to SEC from B12.

The conference is pushing for OOC matchups to be no more than 1 total bodybag FCS type tune up and then only P4s for the rest to maximize media returns. Scheduling UNT will not happen for that reason.

Genius

Over UTEP, under UTSA & Rice. Unlikely. I think Rice is dropping way off this year. https://x.com/CFBONFOX/status/1824521512403042564?t=DRcll6tGInzGlB8O68uoTQ&s=19

We do have buildings in City of Dallas so

Recruit blatant criminal thugs other programs are afraid to touch. Mimicking the TCU rebuilding plan I see. But seriously, unless they are in al Qaeda or Chinese, trespassing into a superfund site or infrastructure just seems like harmless exploring. Trespassing into a habitation, but notably not breaking and entering..... Don't know what that would be but doesn't sound like a robbery

The players are also called "students" so everyone takes a little latitude

Great idea. As evidenced by the "Dallas" on our uniforms, SMU alumni are comfortable in urban and inner-city environments. We keep it real.
