I bought The Sporting News b-ball magazine. They pick us to win the SBC....and be a #14 seed.

Also out are Lindy's and Athlon's. I looked at one of those (don't remember which one)....anyway they picked us as well. And they picked George O as Player of the Year.

While i wouldn't necessarily be happy with a 14, I'd be pleased enough. At least at that stage the games are a bit more winnable.

I was wondering the other day how long it would take to get something better than a 15. I was more than a little irritated when we got that last year.

We had a couple of poor loses (Boise State and FIU leap readily to mind) plus the conference RPI was the worst I can recall...in large part to some soft schedules around the conference (including ours) and New Orleans being on the verge of dropping to D3.

ULM will probably hurt the RPI this season...but as a whole it should be considerably better. I felt we were under-seeded as well, but based on RPIs, SOS and quality wins it was tough to argue with the committee.

Just wish we could've been the 15 seed matched up with Nova...would've run through them like Corey Fisher ran through Scottie Reynolds' girlfriend.

But what is fandom if it's not blindly complaining when things don't go how you want them to? It's much more fun to think everyone is out to get you than it is to think rationally about something.

Sure. The place for that is the football forum.

      Is the Portal out of control?

      Because it is a bullshit system. I don’t need some kid running a podcast that gives him the attitude that he is all knowing to tell me that his opinion on the system is better than mine. It is what it is. I don’t like it. I see kids chasing dollars hoping to secure their future and probably forgoing their education. Do you really think Chandler Morris is worth the reported $1 million dollars Okie St is throwing at him? Do you think Ohio State’s $200 million payroll provided a solid return? It is not a sustainable system and is not being administered as intended. These collectives are paying kids a salary to just be on the team. It has nothing to do with marketing their likeness, their name or their image. It has turned our program into nothing more than a prep program for the P4 teams. We, UNT, spend time and money developing kids for what? For them to move along to the highest bidder and we get $0 in return. It is not a sustainable system. Why do “G5” donors want to throw money at these kids that have zero loyalty to us? What is the return? Hopefully 9 or 10 wins, a conference title and some BS bowl game only to watch our best players walk prior to the bowl game/playoffs? Sorry but the dialogue and “talking points” haven’t changed. It is nothing more than a game of greed. This is college sports with misplaced priorities that are ruining the game, in my humble opinion. That satisfy you?

      Bowl Tailgating

      If it helps any, this is where our group has been tailgating for years whenever we played SMU. Never had one problem with setting up the BBQ grill, TV, etc.

      Just how out of whack is college football?

      Speaking of out of whack, I saw this story today. Might be old news or old data, but it was new to me. https://www.heartlandcollegesports.com/2024/12/11/where-do-big-12-college-football-teams-rank-in-nil-spending/ It included links to estimates for most of the NIL collectives. https://nil-ncaa.com/collectives/
