    Just build whatever we can for the price we can afford. It will likely be far less glamorous than any rendering to date, but we are about 10 years past this being the most pressing issue we have with athletics, particularly football. Get the thing on campus, 30-40k seats is fine, wood, aluminum, Hardie board, whatever. Paint it green and let's get to work on not being left out again when/if another opportunity arises. What could have been 10+ years ago...... sigh.

    I miss being good at football.

    He could have been going in at halftime, instead he is a practice squad player.

    My bad guys, that was on me. I'm out.

    I just wanna see Bohanon do positive things.

    We just don't have the speed to keep up with all these 25 year old white men.

    Hurry up and kick the extra point.
  8. ArmyBull
    Don't know why I bother to show up to these things.

    More so toward the mid/end of the 2000s.

    Perhaps I projected my own feelings into the original intent of the thread. That being said, I don’t know how a true Bull can be apathetic to central with the history we have. If it was us with the football series lead and headed to the Power 5, I would love to read their distraught takes.
  11. ArmyBull
    I can appreciate your example but it is an extreme oversimplification. From recruits, to academics, to politics, etc., a healthy and thriving central is bad for us. Our administration failed us in that regard. Instead of acknowledging that we were losing an arms race with central (for years) and doing something about it, our administration sat on their hands and just hoped everything would be better. It is all hindsight and spilt milk now. I do agree that the future is what we have to look forward to.

    I guess the way I viewed it was that we have a thread discussing our collective disinterest in that program. But throughout the years the evidence points to the contrary. The contrary is what makes a rival. We have always been interested, We do care, we do compare, we do hope for their demise. I certainly do anyway.
  13. ArmyBull
    If that were true we would not be where we are right now having this conversation, an athletic trophy, constant comparisons throughout the years. CWT literally stating “hell na” when asked if he wanted us to become like central (or something like that), the examples and observational evidence of a rivalry throughout the years are endless. But here we are, talking about its non-existence.

    This is how true rivalries work, blind hatred that can’t be manufactured. This is why our rivalry with Miami never took root… you just can’t make something be. Truth be told we should never have agreed to play them after we left CUSA. I have always been torn on the benefit of having a true rival vs the benefit they received from playing us and the blinders it put on our administration, especially regarding an OCS. They leaped out in front of us regarding facilities and we got stuck in a paralyzing game of “one-upsmanship.” Judy knew what she was doing as far as trying to minimize them. Wish she would have done more on that front.

    Great read. Timmy will need to make a lot of progress to become a legitimate QB 1. However, I remember hating on QF until he was half way through his junior, so what do I know.

    Of all the issues have I have with CJS, this is the biggest. I am in the camp that feels we need stability more than a new coach every three years, but for the life of me I can’t understand why we are not on this list. The playing time opportunity alone should be enough the draw a few top 100 kids our way. Maybe we should think about bringing CWT home. Our focus should be building around Florida. Even last year, we did not nab a single one, Horn was close, but that is it.

    Desperate teams do desperate things. I am okay with the 4th down call.
  18. ArmyBull
    ECU attendance looks awful.
  19. ArmyBull
    Not only do they exist, they would likely be favored over us by 14-21 points.

    Not sure what everyone thought would happen, but this was always the way it was going to work out. IF, and that is a big IF, the reports of us keeping anywhere near 7 million a year in revenue is true, than that is a big time win compared to what we were looking at. Yes, the conference sucks, but in the end nothing changes. It was all about revenue. Further, if the CFP does indeed increase to include the champions of the top six conferences, we (perhaps better said "the conference") have chance at the CFP or perhaps a a NY6 game (if such a thing remains intact). Also, if 7 million a year is true, it should extinguish the already silly independence talk.
  21. ArmyBull
    wow, surprised that c floridas club level is twice as much as ours.
  22. ArmyBull
    So true, but there is a also a bit of bad luck involved. I keep thinking if we had won that 2017 ucf game, which was entirely possible, how different would things be right now? Maybe a lot, maybe not at all.
  23. ArmyBull
    You have come a long way. I am proud of you.
  24. ArmyBull
    Who knows what the future holds. Maybe a whole new structure is created, but I tend to think that the "alliance" has no desire to consolidate the autonomy votes for the SEC to simply have more control. A weaker Big12 is still anti-SEC votes.
  25. ArmyBull
    Because the rest of the gang would have to change bylaws and take it away. That is unlikely to happen because a bad precedent would be set. The PAC 12 is not far in front of, or maybe not at all, the Big 12. Think about it like the complications involved with kicking a single team out of a conference. P5 is a thing created by, well, the P5.
