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.

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.

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.

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.
