Mark, I like you a lot buddy. You are a great guy and a good athletic supporter. :) But, you have to admit this is kind of shady if this is what RV meant by the big concerts at Apogee, lest your bias blinds. And if this is what RV thinks as being adequate as his promised concerts, then we might disagree on what we see as successful. Or what is really a concert.

Not us, I am quite sure.

Well who knows?! I am only in my 30's.... a 101 year old's and a 7 year old's might just be the same.

Clearly we would all prefer 1 and 1 games and all our games to be played in Apogee. Who would be against that?!? But our AD has clearly said that he will whore out the football team for the department to get paid. He isn't moving from that. So this kind of deal is the best case scenario that we can get out of an AD that we have. But, even with that, I know there isn't any way this would happen. We don't have a decent scheduler. We are more content with multiple 5 home game seasons and getting people here at home that no one has ever heard of or cared about. Let's keep going with that strategy!

Correct, Rice not Houston. Sorry but if we are already whoring ourselves out, this kind of deal is the best situation for us. I still think their AD is smarter to negotiate something like this than ours has come up with.

Any time a major P5 team is willing to pay you 3.5 mill for a 2 and 1 it makes no sense not to take it when it means you are only going to play a few miles away from your campus. If Oklahoma came calling for the same deal and we had to play one of those in Arlington? You better believe I would do that in a heart beat. We can buy the smaller teams to come in as we already are to balance the schedule... But this would still be a no brainier. And as of right now, Texas wouldn't hand Houstons ass to them...

Wow I could go for 2-1's like this ANY DAY! Oh to have an AD who gets shit done.

I see what you did there!

agreed!

We won't be 128 out of 128. No way in hell.

Yes. The best word I can think of that describes him in the program was irrelevant. Besides the one fortuitous hit against the MTSU QB.... anything else? Well, besides being too quick to speak?!

My hope is that Littrell can get more out of these guys than the previous boss. Though, Mac said over and over that this team doesn't quit, I think we all know they did. Even if Littrell has slight success, I hope we can use that to continue to take steps forward. My only goal is to see continual, upward momentum. I don't fault him (yet) for this recruiting class. We have quite a hole to dig out of. Hopefully with a modern style and new leadership, we can see us progress. I think the Spring will show us an idea of the direction we are heading.

Of this list, I see about four, MAYBE five, that could have gotten big playing time elsewhere.

Meh. I am not sure he will ever do much at the next level.

Mac couldn't keep anyone from that first class. If SL does that, then it is easy to say he created a better class.

I knew those florida ties would pay off.

They better have a bunch of ties.

This is similar to the question I raised in the initial thread. I would think this is SL area to handle more than it is RV.

Honest question... But is this RV or SL's role to make such calls..

I bet more schools give him a look now that he has been offered by us. He has done some good things in high school and went fairly unnoticed. Reminds me of Johnny Quinn who also did great things in high school but couldn't get much interest. Let's hope he ends up creating a similar legacy here. I can understand everyone's concern when we don't see too much interest. But I bet our two offensive geniuses see something in this guy. I will trust them until otherwise.

Is anyone else getting concerned about all the jucos? Both this year and last...

aTm did give a cease and desist. Then they came to an agreement.

Seahawks had to get permission. They got in trouble when they first did it without consent. Now. The Seahawks pay for it, I believe.

Somehow the news disagrees. My police friends and firefighter friends would equally disagree.

Nothing good ever happens after 2:00 am
