Dear Mean Green Fans:

I would like to thank everyone from the Mean Green family for all the phone calls, prayers and overwhelming acts of thoughtfulness during my hospital stay. I appreciate all of your concern for my health and the Mean Green football team during my tough time!

My procedure was a success, and my recovery time should be short. I’m looking forward to getting back on the field to prepare your Mean Green for a successful 2006 season. Once again thank you very much for all your thoughts and prayers during my recent procedures!

Go Mean Green,

Darrell Dickey

I wish Darrell the best, and a speedy recovery. I just wish he had said our Mean Green instead of "your"

I, for one, appreciate his message and wish him a speedy recovery.

Regarding the "your" Mean Green, I think that the pronoun was appropriate. By using your he acknowledges that the fans are a (necessary) part of the program. Had he used "our", someone would have interpreted it to mean the coaches and the team only; bringing us right back to the us vs. them mentality.

seriously I guess it is impossible to have an entirely positive thread without over-analyzing or complaining about something... dry.gif

Hope you get well quick, DD. Thanks for the message!

he really should post here, that would be fun I think.

That would not be a good idea....if he sends a msg to Harry to publish now and then to the meangreen nation addressing concerns we have is one thing but he doesn't need the worry or frustration of reading the negative stuff some of the members post about him. Coaches have enough to worry about and they need to stay positive because nagativity and frustration from the Heach Coach will affect the team and can cause seasons to go right down the drain.

Glad to hear you are doing well and recovering Coach Dickey. Hey, I may not agree with you on the 3 and 21 draw play call from our own 19 yard line, but your health is what is most important. smile.gif

Cut me a little slack, I'm not that dumb. I know he has better things to do then chat with us about running a 3-4 defense.

I'm glad DD is doing well.

Does this mean an end to the Diet Coke guy? What will he do? Where will he go? The questions abound.

As far as posting here. I'm torn. I think he should answer to fans, but this is not the forum. We should show up at his coaches show if we're that concerned. Or at least they should take phone calls on the show.

BTW I feel the same about RV posting here, but then again he doesn't have a radio show to appear at.

GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!!!

His board name is "Glad to be Green"

Awsome program when your AD keeps the Students and Alums advised of what's going on by posting here. This is the time of year where most AD's are more worried about the snow at Crested Bute, Colorado...

No question...We're lucky to have RV!!!

      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.
