Re: East Tower

I think all the steps have been repaired/repoured. Also freshly painted bright yellow. I thought it looked good when I was at the OSU game.

On miller Hill, like the regrade idea to get students closer to the action.. and louder when opposing team at that Endzone
It’s already been regraded and brought closer when the track was removed. Maybe it needs to be closer? The visiting team tunnel might hinder that.

Re: Curt Cignetti teams....

He is a Pitt grad. His ego will definitely consider that job heavily if offered. A graduate of Lil brother school gets opportunity at Big Brother school... Right up his ego ... Cig was QB at WVU. I’m guessing he doesn’t care much for Pitt. May care for the city of Pittsburgh since he’s from there, ...

Re: Game day Operations

This will not surprise some of you, but I learned this weekend that someone who did not renew season tickets this year still got their parking permit for their space. I have been an apologist for ticket office and Yosef, but that’s not good, especially if some are not getting parking.

Re: Dick Button Olympic Swimmer

We need an obituary folder to house threads pertaining to deaths of obscure people. Dick Button is not obscure to my generation. He was a great athlete in his time. Nor mine, but he wasn't a swimmer. He was a figure skater who revolutionized the sport landing the first skater to land a double axel ...

Re: If Texas State leaves...

I would think both LaTech and Liberty would be hard no’s by the SunBelt as a whole. A lot of bad blood from old Sun Belt towards LaTech. And no one wants Liberty. Western Kentucky has a legitimate shot, though. I think we’d have to at least offer to ECU. Geographically it works for them, but not su...

Re: Traditions, rivalries, etc.

Was not, is not, never will be a good idea. Was less of an idea than something that was forced to occur because of what money has done to college athletics. ESPN, all television really, is more to blame than we have discussed recently. I don't think it will kill rivalries, as we fans drive that, bu...

Re: A sobering reality we are going to have to face

I don't think the collectives will disappear when players are under contract. They'll just go underground and use the bagman again.

Re: App Transfer Portal 2025 - OUT

I think it's going to get harder and harder to justify many student fees, especially athletic fees as things move forward. Somethings gotta give in the college financial world. These students pay almost more in fees in 4 years then I paid for tuition, room, meal plan, fees and book rental for 2 yea...

Re: App Transfer Portal 2025 - IN

PWO to me means they really want to be in Boone and it's not about the money. Not discounting your thought but I would be willing to bet that we have a bunch of scholarship players who get little to nothing in NIL money. But that’s just a complete guess. Isn’t it interesting that with the money bei...

Re: 12 team playoff

The "post-season" in football is invaluable when it is more rightly considered "pre-season." I will admit it's different now with the portal, but the extra practices for underclassmen go a long way in preparation for the next season. The whole system, however, is going to have to be reconsidered wit...

Re: App Transfer Portal 2025 - OUT

That would kill attendance, terrible idea. The culture would suffer tremendously. Then just keep forcing the entire student body to pay much more than the cost of a season ticket. I do understand finance is not a students major strength. Students are admitted to all sports. How much are fees vs. se...

Re: App Transfer Portal 2025 - OUT

The program operates at be a loss without student fees if I read the numbers correctly. Fees are now an issue , well more of an issue. They will continue to be more of an issue. Student loans are out of control. Virginia took a positive step forward and has capped them. Schools can no longer just c...

I don't trust any reports about us hiring a DC until I see them on campus with a finalized contract. We already "hired" one this offseason.

Re: App Transfer Portal 2025 - OUT

I think all college players on scholarship should have a buyout clause. School transferring to has to pay exit school $100k for each immediate transfer. The buyout expires 1 year after leaving exit school, essentially they’d have to sit a year. It’d slow down the transfers and exit schools would be...

Re: App Transfer Portal 2025 - OU

It's all about the money. Universities are going to take the transfers you think they shouldn't because it's believed they will help them make more money. Most any business out there would do the same, even government run businesses. Free education is not money in hand, it's Potential future earnin...
