You do understand that he will be banned for life from the PGA?  Not good news for UNT in my opinion.

Yes these guys have families and I support them as their window to make the big bucks is short.

That's the American spirit!  Cancel the great (century old?) PGA and support the Middle Eastern Tour.

I will support Ortiz and wish him well, but I don't have to be a fan of that tour.  It is similar to the NBA and the social justice warriors in that league, Lebron, yet they turn a blind eye towards China.

I get the shit that Saudi Arabia does, but do you boycott the other countries that do bad shit as well or is this just your line in the sand?

Every country does "bad shit" but China and Saudi Arabia don't really seem to care.  I wouldn't visit either country.  

I have had direct contact with one of the Saudi royal families at a former job and while some were fine, some also do whatever they want, claim immunity and buy their way out of stuff.  Also, considering they recently murdered and dismembered a member of the press, treat women in their country like dirt, etc., I have trouble justifying supporting that golf tour.  China is also a craphole.

and the usa has not done similar?  bombing innocent villages, wmds that did not exist.  our country does not care either.

 

i understand where you are coming from, but our country is just as bad, we just do not want to see it.  

 

i do not care about the shit that countries do or do not, i care that ortiz is doing what is best for him and making cash.  hell, i would do the same, that probably makes me just as bad as him.  i am not gonna be a holier than thou person that thinks only the others do bad stuff.  america has done plenty wrong, as has china and saudi arabia and myanmar and niger and angola and japan and germany, yet we all have items in our household that we use and love that came from those countries.

So this is more about your dislike of America than the issues with Saudi Arabia. OK

Independent of all the politics talk, Carlos is leading after day 2, tied with Dustin Johnson

Many of you may not have realized, but he is only the second UNT alumn to play on the LIV golf tour. This is already Ian Snymans second event on the tour. He is not doing quite as well as last time, as he is currently tied for 38th. For someone like Snyman who had been playing second level South African and then the Asian tour, even last place is awesome money and more than he made in his whole career prior to 2022.

 

Concerning the tour, I get that there are many issues with it, but it is a fact that it is scaring the bejeezus out of the PGA for a reason. it is the first real challenge to its monopoly in a long time, and this weekends round is sold out, so people are going to see the events. When you have a family to feed, the steep increase in pay and the increase in time off seeing as the season is short, has to look attractive. I honestly don't know yet how this one ends, but given all the money LIV has, this will not be an easy fight for the PGA to win. I see already a whole bunch of pros the PGA watchers are pretty darn familiar with (Dustin Johnson, Kevin Na, Phil Mickelson, Lee Westwood, Louis Oosthuisen, Brooks Koepka,Bryson Dechambeau), only some of them are clearly past their prime. The question I guess is: At what point is it a critical mass that is so big the PGA can't afford to keep all of them out? I think it needs a little more. But in order to get that done LIV might have to change its playing system, because it might need more than 48 spots, or it might need its own proper feeder system below the primary one, and that one would also have to be more lucrative than the PGAs feeder system. How long the scheichs truely want to sink these crazy amounts of money into golf? I have an inkling it is not as long as they pretend, but if they get a serious foothold before, who knows.

      Odom DC??

      It was the highest paid assistant position in all of G5. We're in DFW and its recruiting potential. We'll get looks. I haven't dug into who's available, though. I'm sure NIL budget would play into this, too, but I don't have any insight into that.

      I guess it depends on the DC. The LaTech guy may want to make the jumo to the AAC. Same for the Sam Houston DC. The Rice DC just had their HC fired.

      sure. so maybe it's just semantics, but nothing above equates to "elite" for me. both from the standpoint that "elite" is rarified company and too when we start using language like that the @untbowler's of the board will show up only after every loss to blame our deified coach and the AD that didn't go after Will Wade I guess. just trying to help keep ten toes on the ground for everyone and make sure the basketball conversation stays intelligent and not at all resembling the football forum.

      That just sounds like delusion to me. If the defense breaks into the top 80 next year statically, I will be very surprised. Of available job openings at this level will be low on list. I would much rather join a brand new staff with 2 years of stability guaranteed than come here.

      🤣🤣🤣🤣. Hypocritical yes. Unfair? Because y'all were stupid enough to get caught repeatedly? Give me a break. Without the Penn State scandal this opinion had no basis in the reality of what happened to SMU. I will give y'all credit for trying. But again this thread being posted here is part of the big reason we are a Joke Program and NOT SMU's rival. I have never been more disgusted with our Program and we are waxing poetic about SMU while UTSA laps us. 🙄
