Anyone going? I’m thinking about it.

Agree 100% and I also noticed that we are SMU’s season opening game so I expect this to be a big traveling crowd from them as they return a talented and deep team.

Look like all very deserving. Was hoping to see Mason Fine but it may be too soon for that.

What is there to talk about really? A lot of known like Aune and unknowns. Just seems like you need to see what they have before you can really discuss it seriously. Everything beyond that is purely speculative. That said Inam excited to see what this team can do.

Reminds me of the kid from Coppell.

I am very grateful to RV for Al his hard work in putting this NIL together for us. My only question is how can I give to it?

It’s just the absolute best grocery store I’ve ever been to. Great fresh food and vegetables, superior home made brands, reasonable prices, great service like they still bag the groceries with a smile… it’s just a superior business model that has great people behind it.

I think it sounds like from the podcast Rick s a solid choice to lead the collective.

It seems to me that we had several very close to selling out in the past few years. The Army game comes to mind as well as UTEP and UTSA. I am sure there are others. Win and they will come even under Littrell.

Yes it was a great showing indeed.

6-6 will get us to a bowl however and in my mind that probably keep Seth around for another year. I do not think he will get an extension but just get to coach out his last contract year as it expires after 2023.

Absolutely was a blast to watch the game. Just sorry that Bell made the mistake late or I think we would have "shocked" them.

Why did Bell have to do that foul? That seemed so ill timed.

Following USC’s and UCLA’s deal to join the Big Ten, and rumblings that more moves are on the horizon, it’s clear that those in charge of college football don’t understand—or care about—what makes the sport great In The Reckoning, David Halberstam’s 1986 epic about how Japan disrupted the American car industry, there’s a scene in which a young General Motors executive is tasked with traveling abroad to study new European cars. There, he found “a car enthusiast’s dream”: fun, brilliant, well-designed vehicles that he figured would excite car lovers back in Detroit. When he returned and gleefully shared the information, though, he quickly realized that the people running these companies did not love cars. They were not enthusiasts of anything except making bigger cars with bigger accessories and bigger profit margins. “Those who had the most power had the least passion,” Halberstam wrote of the realization. It is not hard, given the theme and title of the book, to guess what happened next. The best thing you can hope for when you are the captive audience of a sport is that the people making decisions like the sport, too; that they understand why people watch it in the first place. This is not unique to one sport—it could be about any (baseball, golf, soccer) that’s facing upheaval in a world of changing television habits, technology, and media economics. But right now, the sentiment best relates to college football, a sport that remains one of the best things in the world despite 100 years of bureaucrats and administrators trying to make it worse. It is not dying—any suggestion that it is should not be taken seriously. And if, somehow, it was dying, Tennessee and Alabama fans would still meet in a grass parking lot every October to figure out how to play something. You cannot kill college football: I know, because the people who run it have tried their best. But the sport is, as of this month, lunging dangerously close to becoming something it is not—and that’s where the trouble starts. There are two quotes you can use as guideposts to college football’s great unraveling. The first is from Paul Finebaum, who said on a WJOX radio show in April that college football “is going to come apart, the NCAA is on its last breath, and I think college football as we know it is on its last breath. And it’s happening with unbelievable speed, supersonic speed that I could not have predicted.” The second is from writer Pete Thamel: “No one is in charge. For all the billions of dollars, millions of fans and boundless passion that surround college football, that has always been its glaring and bizarre flaw. No one is looking out for the greater good of the game. No one is guiding the sport toward long-term prosperity and short-term sensibility. No one is building consensus and channeling all of the ratings, financial success and popularity toward an outcome that is positive for everyone in the sport.” read more: https://www.theringer.com/college-football/2022/7/12/23205250/college-football-realignment-mess-usc-ucla-big-ten-sec

Long live diet coke boy!

The Eagle logo is inside of the lettering.

Very good point. We were ranked 109th in team penalties in 2021. That is terrible!

Interesting that they did not include Grant and JD in this photo shoot.
