I'll be there with the wife and another couple. Any tailgating going on?

It's really sad to see so many students so disinterested in football.  Such a stark contrast to when I was a student and everyone I knew went to the games, so many would take road trips for away games, and we willingly did everything we could to get our wristbands for the games. Yes we were in a better conference but still it just sucks to see.  

The whole argument about not wanting to pay for something that you wont use cause you wont be a student anymore is garbage.  THEN COME BACK TO CAMPUS AND USE IT! This is what builds a supportive alumni base and tradition. You want to be a UF or FSU then invest and take pride in your school. A small rise in the athletic fund is nothing compared to the tuition at most other relative schools in the country and is offset because you dont have to pay a cent for any athletic event as a student!!! Stop being cheap!

The Oracle then put out a video on face book where students, who obviously dont care about anything athletics, said there were against it. The video was clearly one sided.

It looks like student gov't is working on their own to see if a stadium is supported by the student body. They are trying to out a vote on the ballot to raise tuition by up to $9 per credit hour for a stadium.

Seriously, where is Wilcox, the guy has a career game last week and is a ghost tonight. He's barely seen the field.

Why aren't they getting Wilcox involved?

ESPN just popped back up for me

Barnett's deep ball is on point!

Ok Barnett looks sharp. Gotta say I like the play calling so far. We didn't start with HB Dive!

I'm here now on the same flight as the softball team traveling to NC

Yep, was able to get it and watching the pregame now

Has anyone been able to find the Identity Tampa Bay channel on their roku to stream the spring game?

Mistakes

Missed fg and xp -4 points

personal foul allowed td rather than fg for C. -4 points. 

fg attempt at end of half -3 points

should be 27-17 at half. Clean it up and keep up the adjustments on D, let Q tuck and run and keep getting the ball to mccants

where is MVS?

why isn't Q running?! He looks scared!

Boise State ranked 25 in CFP poll at 8-2. Wow! There are no top 25 matchups this weekend so it doesn't look like we will be ranked going in to black Friday.  I'm very surprised the committee didn't rank us just to promote the game.  Then again why do any favors a lowly G5 matchup.

Go into the next round of tv negotiations with a figure of 8 million per team.  The AAC has solidified itself as the 6th best conference, no question. We have put a team in the NY6 bowl every year except 1. At some point in every season we have 3 teams ranked. There is no doubt we are above the rest of the G5 and we are due a significant increase in tv revenue because of it.  Put in the contract that negotiations can reopen if the conference expands. After the AAC  contract is solidified go after the following schools for football only:

Boise State, San Diego State, Air Force, and Army.

The MWC will not be able to compete with the AAC in tv revenue as they have not made any strides in competition since the formation of the AAC.  It would be financially irresponsible for them to decline an invite if the AAC schools are making 4 times what the MWC school's are. Now you have solidified yourself with 2 more major markets, all of the service academies and greater competition and strength of schedule.  Each year the AAC will start the season with 3 schools ranked and the committee should view a greater strength of schedule for playoff consideration.  Each team plays 7 division games, 2 crossover conference games, 3 ooc games with 1 cupcake and 2 P5 teams.  

Then renegotiate going in with a figure of 15 million but settling for no less than 12 million.   The AAC will be the only conference with coast to coast viewing from Thursday through late Saturday night.

I feel like this is the only way the AAC even sniffs the playoffs.  This would be a solid conference with great value and an undeniable power 6 especially with the added revenue.

I know we want an undefeated matchup on black Friday but I can't help but cheer against C. 

Sanchez!!!

Complete shut out for the defense. Very proud of those guys, they've come a long way. Doesn't matter how bad the offense is, it's difficult to get a shut out.

C'mon Kean, I want 50!

Very impressed with Auggie tonight. He has been all over the field with sacks, tackles for loss, tipped passes. Very good night for 43!

Any chance the announcers talk about the game actually being played?

The way I see it, last year we would probably be up 49 to 21 with a more high powered offense and a weaker defense. Kind of a push the way the defense is stepping up.

Great catch for int there!
