lets try not to copy other schools

I was waiting for the copycat post. It happens every year. We stole it from Tech after coming from behind and embarrasing them in Lubbuttocks. There is a difference.

Absolutely, it's a War Trophy and I enjoyed hearing some of our fans explaining it to MTSU fans after the game was over. We currently are the only ones left with the tradition by the way.

I hate the tradition. I don't care how it came to the campus. It needs to stop.

Since our seats are miles away from the field, they never cause any problems (penalty wise), but once we have a new stadium, you'll see the administration clamp down on that like...(oh the many many metaphors).

We shouldn't have to worry about that for several decades.

My son loves to gather and throw the tortillas. Once he didn't have a tortilla at the moment but found a curved little nacho chip. He threw it with the curve down and it flew in about a 15 foot wide circle and came right back to him. MT made a big deal the other day about their aeronautical studies program, with their planes flying over, but they don't have anything on our own extensive research in the field of aerodynamics.

Extensive live field studies in Tortilla aerodynamics is beneficial to all mankind, not to mention spirit!!

Let the tortillas fly until the new stadium arrives.

Bring you tortilas if you must. But since they are on the prohibited items list I don't want to see a post bitching about the security guards not letting people take them in. Won't matter that its a posted policy. SOMEONE will get bent out of shape because they were stopped from bringing them in.

Haven't we seen this before with umbrellas, flagpoles, etc?

I'm going to make a pre-emptive bitching post and just get that out of the way. I'm already bent out of shape. (It doesn't help with the ladies.) Accordingly:

DARNATION ON ANYONE WHO IS THINKING ABOUT TRYING TO KEEP ME FROM WADDLING IN WITH 500 TORTILLAS STUFFED IN MY PANTS! I'VE HAD ENOUGH!

Ok Pre-emptive bitching is ok.

But I can see the post game posts now....'How dare the security guards not allow us in with this. We had to leave it at the gate or walk ALL the way back to our car"

Next thing you know we'll have people start bitching about ushers not allowing them to sit anywhere they want and forcing them to sit where they are ticketed.... laugh.gif

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      There are probably 10 levels of donors and fans for a college athletic program. Anyone from a 70-year-alum always a supporter, to businessman only for advertising, to mom & dad only while son is going there, to corporate CEO wanting a name on a building, to t-shirt fans who just like the Flying Worm, etc. At P4 schools when the AD says they need cash, usually someone Big or a lot of smaller someones steps up. At our level I think it's more difficult to predict the donors and level of donations. I think it's also more difficult to find donors willing to give blindly to a non-specific NIL fund than to a specific building fund.

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.
