Yeah, I loved those days when we weren't the smallest, slowest FBS teams in America....you know, the teams that finished 2-9, 3-9. 2-10, 1-11, 2-10, 3-9 (I think). Those fast, big dudes....good ol

Yeah, the shit that he says is so dumb. Laughable? Really? I don't get this coaches lingo. Is his ego really this big?

The reason we played well late in games was our use of rotation. We plan on rotating a lot this year. Will have to earn your playing time.

Why do you always have to be so damn negative?

Lol. He was saying that because two of those guys will be back next year when we are going to have to replace at least 3, maybe 4 starting offensive linemen and we aren't really sure what we have behind them.

Temps in the upper 30s. Wind coming out of the north (steady at 13 MPH according to the stat sheet). The game was on TV if I remember correctly, so why go to the game when you can watch it from the warmth of your home.

Whatever,

That's exactly what I was saying. The OL is returning a bunch of starters, and if these guys are pushing them, that is great news for the future of this program.

Nah. Pretty sure he thinks you're a crusty old bastard. :lol:

The fact we lost so many seniors and were picked to win the West is laughable. I guess it's better than being picked last.

Thanks Coach Mac, some of us were getting a little too excited about this year's team.

I think his point wasn't to say that we can't win the West, but that it's weird that others assumed we would after losing so many starters.

Alright, I'm a hell of a lot more comforted by the video than I was with the verbal reports earlier today.

On the way Mac talks about the SMU series and rivalry specifically, I think he's setting up a narrative that looks like this:

"We, collectively have not consistently won at any point against this program BEFORE I got here." The way he talks about it is more like, we WILL win under MY leadership, and consistently at that.

Right, downplaying history while promoting what he has done since he has been here.

Like I said before, it's a motivational message aimed at the players.

But I'm sure there is also absolutely no self-promotion agenda behind that at all...

Naw, it's completely self-promotion; it's not even vaguely disguised.

But I don't really think there's anything wrong with that.

Except when you constantly rewrite history by saying we were the smallest, slowest FBS team in America when you got here.

The hardcore fans know better, but then again that isn't at whom the message is aimed.

      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.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
