Do you want me to tell you what is happening? It isn't good currently.

Lol.  Thanks, but I'll live in my blissful ignorance.

ESPN+ is messing up on me.  Hope it straightens up.  I'd like to catch what's left of the game.

Nice!  He's huge already.

Now, that goes way back!

With spring football practice over, JeyQuan Smith returned to the track and ran a 10.52 in the 100m dash.
 

He's a WR with our FB team.  Looks like he was injured but is back in action.  Only 5'10" but fast like that is welcome.

Yes, tickets sold are an important metric.  That is where you get the capacity for a new OCS.  They are not going to build a stadium based on the numbers of people who actually show up.  It is based upon the number of tickets expected to be sold.  I'm no expert but I can't see how it could be any other way.

As soon as (if) we are in a conference with opponents that people want to watch, our stadium will be (way) too small.

so you just want to restrict free trade. got it.

maybe capitalism isn't your thing.

it may not be perfect but it's the best economic system we have.

BTW our basketball team benefited greatly from the ability to get a coach and multiple transfers this year.

The system worked in our favor and now that it has people are complaining that some players are moving on. Guess what? they left their last place to come here.

Capitalism?  Free Trade?  National economic systems?  You set yourself up as the only fair person, laugh at the rest of us hypocrites, and then pivot to national economic philosophy?  We're talking about college football, just as a reminder. 

These are not your best posts.  Put the shovel down.  The hole is just getting deeper.

if it's biting their customers then eventually it will bite them. I find it funny that everyone has a problem with the players trying to get a cut but nobody ever had a problem with coaches,schools or athletic directors etc chasing the dollars.

Actually, a lot of us had a problem with coaches being able to transfer without sitting out a year.  It just never occurred to us to ruin our sports programs over it.  I guess we are the dumb ones.

Sadly. I didnt win the powerball. You all will have to settle for the stadium as is.

I didn't fare any better in my quest, either...

What an inning!

And that is why I didn't turn the game off.  Nice hit to tie it.

Since I started watching in the seventh that has been the case.  Perhaps I missed the good defense part of the game

NOW we start playing good defense at the end of the game.

If we are going to just hurl the ball at the batter, we could use Kesean as a pitcher.

I've had fun before.  It's not the same as watching this game.  Fun is different.
