Green with Envy

Almost

could be wrong but i think it still follows the Official Visit policies.

ZEE -ROH

EM better be saying that same thing to them, on the daily. 'trust the process' is so overused but in this case.....trust the process.

And his Twitter was confusing. Spent all of his UM tweets trying to hock UM merch.

underrated

man, i remember that 88 season. i was a senior in HS and UNT bound.

haha. easy there, Silver.

Yep, cuz these kids are thinking about graduating. 🙄 Gimme the bag now, I’ll worry about a degree later.

How is that to better? Replace or replace, no?

That’s deep…..but I like it. Commemorative FFR Armadillo plush toy for kids under 12. Free Kathy Ireland kicking lessons for men over 45.

I’m sure there is some population that feels that way. But I think the bigger issue to lack of funds is our alumni culture and lack of success. very much generalizing here, but so many of our alumni are musicians and/or teachers. Probably weren’t ’all-in’ on athletics when they were students and if they were, probably don’t have endless funds to donate back to the program today. The quantity of deep pocket donors we have has to be short. If you had deep pockets and your favorite program performed like this, year after year after year, would you curb your donations at some point? Or would you continue to throw good money after bad? How do we get out of this, no clue. Just how I see things shaking down from the outside.

I think you answered your own question…..twice. That’s where we and most G5 programs are. Especially the middle-of-the-pack G5s. They’ve probably reached their mountaintop. The upper G5 programs better enjoys it as long as they are there.

Your school doesn’t care if you’re pissed. Your school cares about winning because winning leads to money. 95% of the fans would agree and a portion of those would sell their soul for a top program annually. Sometimes you have to do things that you don’t want to do in order to get to places that you want to get. And for the record, I don’t oppose your view. Just trying to take an open-eyed look at the other side.

Absolutely. And that’s not a shot at Porter.

For sure. If the curtain gets pulled back for a look behind, might as well rip that MF off the wall.

They are selling naming rights to Head Coach signing announcements now. Why not?

I’m sure the OP was directly referring to us but don’t you think FAU or Tulsa would have paid $500K for a 6-6 record? That’s a great ROI, no? And regarding us, did that $500K (or whatever) keep us at 6-6, would we have been worse or could we have done it without CM? I don’t know the answer to that and if you ask 3 people you’d probably get 3 different answers.

We need a camera crew following one of these guys at the end of the season and documenting how all of this goes down. How they notified the coaches, discussions with their fresh out of college NIL agents, phone/email traffic from interested coaches and ultimately signing on the dotted line. 30for30 - ‘The Anatomy of the NIL Deal’

Days like today make it a lot easier to decide ‘tee time’ over ‘game time’ on Saturdays in September.

This.

Your best players are often the ones leaving. Your best players typically give you a better chance at winning a bowl game. A bowl game victory is better for recruiting and program image. A bowl victory picks up another $35K for coach and is another skin on the wall.

I don't even think they have to match. Your last ride playing for your dad. Very hard to put a price on that. We'd all love that opportunity and some of us would probably pay for it ourselves. CM is likely to enter the coaching ranks and probably has a pretty good nest egg already setup. Money doesn't always have to be a driver. That said, SWT could be backing up the Brinks truck, WTF do I know?
