Loved it. "Who wants a piece of Houston's ass?". Greatness.

I watched most of the first half on line. Horrible television directing. When the ball is snapped you are mandated to be on the game camera (high 50 or alternating 35's depending on camera setup). This was routinely missed. My directors get their ass chewed when this happens. I was asked to work the Houston game but was already booked. I hope to work a NT game soon.

GO MEAN GREEN!!!!

Yeah - I get this pisses people off, but I'd be willing to bet that just about any school in the country when sang by the student body, has altered lyrics. Are you guys kidding me with the "off on a tagent" on this? Be EXCITED they actually sang the fight song! This sounds bad, but when Mac looks at Trice and tells him to start the fight song, I was worried he was gonna shrug his shoulders. I was SO impressed he KNOWS it! Nothing at all against Trice, I'm just saying that as little as 10-15 years ago I guarantee nobody on the football team would have known the lyrics to the fight song. Speaks volumes about school pride.

I tended bar down on Fry in the mid to late 90's and would often challenge a random customer to sing our fight song. If they could do it I promised to buy their drinks all night. Never had to buy a single drink for anyone. So your point about FB players not knowing the song 10-15 years ago carries weight with me. Now I bet Id have to buy a few drinks. Things have changed and are changing. We will get to the top of this mountain.

I note that you felt you had to disguise the "eat $3!%!" rather than use the exact word.

That is exactly what I was hoping would occur.

If you have to disguise the language on a fan board because it is inappropriate, don't you also think that same language is inappropriate used as part of student chants........and especially as part of the university fight song?

Exhibiting "class" is timeless - I can curse with the best of 'em, but not at the top of my lungs and not in a public location - and CERTAINLY not while singing the university fight song.

But I guess it is to each his own - but it is pretty classless.

This...exactly this! Very well stated. Everyone who thinks yelling foul language is "cool" should think about just what you posted.

Funny? I'd say stupid and/or disrespectful. Maybe I'm just too old, but I think this is a dumb tradition some of the students have started up and thinking it's funny is on par with 2nd graders giggling on the playground because someone said poo poo. IMO.

Right there with you. Classless and disrespectful to our own school.

Two things stand out to me about this video:

1)It is awesome that the team sang the fight song and knew the words well enough that I could make them out and didn't just hear garbled humming. And who was in the middle of the pack leading them? A guy who transferred from Oklahoma...and has taken it upon himself to show pride in where he IS!! Many students could learn from this.

2)I love that the entire defense runs to the ball. None of this standing around and watching one guy make the tackle, everyone joins in to clean it up!!!

So nobody knows who #43 is in the video? White kid with Mohawk behind Trice. Is he some walk on kicker perhaps?

Patrick Cobbs? Fred Pertile? Just kidding -- no one listed under that number on MGS

I believe that may be Greg Browns "Lil" Brother. Sorry, Can't remember his first name.

      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.
