Sorry, but we're being accused of being low on funds by folks from Northeast Arkansas?

They can't pay A-State because they can't make the payment on a empty football stadium.

I always thought the contractual responsibility was on the exiting coach, we (the hiring school) just effectively reimburse him.

Either I was wrong, or we're coolcool with AkState and they are alright with receiving it from us directly.

We are pretty good at this one and done coaching thing and this is the first time we had trouble getting the buyout. 

 

Ateast we ran to the media on the first day the payment was late to make everyone aware of the situation and allow for some chuckling at the expense of UNT. 

I hope y'all don't cut baseball to pay for it though.

Good point on baseball. Why don't you guys just start a second program and we'll maybe give you some empty wallets and an old hat for it once it's decent?

Umm, that's not funny (it's not even good smack talk, since we also have four of those).  If you're going to come here, you are going to have to do funny.  That's why we allow Red Wolves to post here.

Four what?  And from when?  The 30's?  Pay up or we're coming to repo those and get a few bucks on the ultrium market.

Whoa!   That one wolf on the pinky finger is crying diamonds!   That's an awesome ring, but if you're a champ, why would you be crying?

Ah.   @Mean Green 93-98, It appears @AStateDale is a young'un.

Forgive Dale. 13 years between championships is longer to some than others. 

Oh yeah!  That's when they played in the WPA stadium.  Okay, sorry I forgot.  Now give us the money.

I thought we were paying the hillbillies in jugs of moonshine, 20 pigs, and a toothbrush (for the 3 teeth on the entire AState campus).

TCU fan or NTSU fan first?

You are correct.

Grant violated his contract with Arkansas State by not delivering payment on time which in the worst case would lead to lawsuit judgment, fees, costs, and interest but doesn't involve UNT.

Presumably, UNT's contract with McCasland requires that UNT tender the payment on his behalf. The failure to do so just means he could walk from his contract and be due whatever damages the contract provides for UNT breaching.

That's the whole sum of it.

Accused?

Look I don't care if 8.7 million people drive by your stadium every day if they don't stop and enter when there is a game, and I don't care how wealthy the DFW area is if you don't honor your obligation to your coach and pay up as required by the contract. Maybe you sophisticates think hillbilly jokes show how superior you are but we pay our coaches.

Evidently not enough to stay in Jonesboro for more than a year.

      Keeler to Temple

      Temple was in the AAC championship against Herman and UH the year they had one loss then wiped the floor with FSU in the Peach Bowl.

      I hope we lose to Temple

      This thread has some loser talk that rivals some of the legendary loser-talk threads on this board. I wanted Seth to beat UTSA even if it meant more Seth. I wanted them to win the CUSA title game even if it meant more. Do we want to win or to be right on the internet? I want them to win. I don't like mixing up Seth LIttrell's tenure and Eric Morris'. Morris, the admin, and the roster etc all made a mistake in trying to keep the good from the old and turn what was there into a winning team. Morris said he made that mistake. He had to change the entire roster. That had to wait a year. So we are essentially in year one. I've written a ton that the roster is filled with youth and underclassman. I see a lot of others have made this same point in this thread. It is true. Some of us gave money 15 years ago in the hopes of this or that but that doesn't mean you can turn a handful of freshman into AAC champions. Quinton Hammonds, Brian Nelson, Landon Sides, Wyatt Young, Mercer, even McGill are all contributors. It goes on and on. The dudes making freshman mistakes were well, freshman. The upperclassmen guys we needed to do some leading and carry things? Well Chandler Morris did that and a couple of DLmen, but a lot of others were hurt. Some just didn't produce. The foundations for next year begin in this recruiting cycle. Morris will discuss the signings on Dec 4 -- we'll know if he has some solid incoming guys. We know he can bring in talent. I like that they improved the DL for this season -- it was worse last year -- but they need more. They need more OL, too. They need more playmakers all along the defensive side. I put some of that on the last coaching staff. Seth had missed hard on defense for about 5 years. He rotated through a bunch of dudes with no luck. We had a patchwork defense with which Bennett did the best he could. The defense has been bad. Morris has made a move to change that. Whoever comes in -- I think we'll see a hire fairly quickly these next couple weeks -- will have a summer to find guys to plug in the holes -- DL, Linebacker, rush end. Is that enough? Dunno. Morris will be looking for experienced, play-making WRs I can tell you that. A Damon Ward who doesn't have the yips and can stay on the field.
