FAU/ULL vs UNC/UVA game tonight.

[FirefightnRick]

Another pillow fight on ESPN but the difference is conference...ONLY!

And did you see the UVA fans doing that RIP OFF, arms folded over the the shoulders of the person next you and swaying side to side bit like Texas A&M? What a RIP OFF tradition! I can't believe they would copy something like that from Texas A&M! RIP OFF COPY CATer's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, YEAH!!!!!!!!! I bet they have a bonfire too. What a great turnout we had with that this year, people enjoying themselves, kids having fun and all that. We should get rid of it as well. DAMN RIP OFF TRADITIONS!

Someone's getting touchy - would this be a bad time to mention my high school had a cannon too?

Don't forget, Al Groh got the kids to start wearing matching t-shirts to games instead of dress wear a few years ago. That's a rip off that you can include in your next rant

I do think we need some traditions and anything that fans and families embrace is good - I just get frustrated when we hold these up as the end/all be all. Like all parts of the program, we are still a long way off from being big time, but that doesn't mean forsake who we are. And if a fan wants to support two schools - even Texas - thats okay - we need everyone willing to come in our gate.

It's a green bias. Not Mean Green, dollar green. The Southland takes a portion of their revenue from the NCAA tournament and underwrites the cost of TV appearances. The presidents and chancellors of the Sun Belt have taken the position that they will not pay for exposure.

The good news is that our contract expires after the 07 football season and 08 basketball season, at a time when Fox, CBS/CSTV, and Comcast are all looking to add inventory. I think there will be at least three or four bids submitted for Sun Belt coverage starting in 08.

With all the scandals going on it's about time someone took a stand. After all, isn't this illegal in most states anyway?

Surely I didn't hide my sarcasm that well?
