If anyone's still looking for the black "Son of Worm" mini helmet, I found a few of them for sale on eBay. There were still four available at the time of this posting. If eBay's not your thing, then b

I looked at the two mini-helmets I have and they were marked as made in China. There's a lot that has to happen when buying from China. Mode of Transportation plays a huge factor in how long it takes for an order to fulfilled. Boating it across the ocean takes longer whereas flying it is quicker but more expensive. I wonder when the order was sent in. If the order was sent via barge it would take a minimum of several months.

How long has the AD known we were going with the SOW?

Long enough to order regular helmets and get them here, right? Or did we just replace stickers? But then we already have the black helmets, which we know are new

So it takes longer to fill an order for cheap, small, plastic molded helmets with a sticker on the side?

Color me extremely skeptical.

Someone should have gotten with Barnes and Noble and let them know. It seems they did, because there is no lacking of SOW shirts and hats for sale. Maybe they just forgot the sacred Mini helmet.

There have been SOW hats and shirts available for years. It's not like we had the SOW become a new logo this spring.

I'll bet the athletic department might order new helmets in the winter/spring in order to have them in time for summer practices.

You can be skeptical all you want but ordering from China ain't an overnight type of situation. For the company I work for, it takes months to get product manufactured and then shipped across the ocean.

In the retail industry for the toy category, retailers and manufactures are deciding what will be on shelves for Christmas 2015 right now and orders will go out somewhere around January or February 2015, if not before then.

Why are you not making fun of people for talking about kids toys?

One of the new mini helmets is now available at the stadium store. It is the green (the dark green) with the white SOW. The black one has not arrived yet.

I don't think so, it is a Riddell mini. Most probably leftover helmets from the previous design and used the SOW instead of the "NORTH TEXAS" decal. The store also has that mini in stock- same exact color.

      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.
