Arky at LSU this week. Geaux Tigers!

Relatively few make money. Most of D-I loses money. It’s marketing for the schools, so they look at it as an operating expense.

I get your point, but I think vandy's capacity is 41k, MSST is 61k, ole Miss is 64k...

Same here. I like Ian's stuff and I like reading Alex on OB. This place was good and it got a lot better when Jeff showed up.

It never gets an easier. I have made it probably 4-5 times in the last ten months and ended up with a cracked windshield twice.

Yes,

UA laser timed? @CJ Vogel

That stretch of I-35 has to be one of the worst in the country

Is it over 30 mm?

It makes a lot of sense because there are probably a couple dozen or so schools that are even profitable. Most break even or operate in the red.

When 61K is your stadium capacity it tells you a whole lot more about the conference than the school.

Added the D1 poll to OP.... With them remaining No. 1, that means you'll still see #1 Texas on the score when watching the game on TV. Certain fanbases will cry about this 😉

Steele used to be in the Blake Gideon territory, but that has since been moved to the Keynodo Hudson umbrella as I mentioned previously.

Hugo holds 27 offers, Texas not among the bunch. has been committed to Arizona State since April 10.

It’s interesting (to me) because Iowa State football has the top attendance of the historical Big 12 schools (post Texas, OU departures), and is second to only BYU when the new entrants are considered. I completely understand the TV market perspective on ISU being the #2 school in a small farm state with no major TV local market, but it’s a shame for the fans who turn out to support a competitive school that they’ll soon be relegated out of big time college football. If ISU were in the Big 10 West, they’d be competitive peers with ALL the other schools in that division (Iowa, Minn, Ill, Wiscy, Neb, NW, etc.)

RB Jonathan Hatton Jr. has always been a favorite of mine. He has a frame that mirrors a multi-year college back. Steele lists him at 6-1 and 215 pounds and he is every bit of that 215 pounds. The one time Oklahoma pledge is currently committed to Texas A&M. Texas will be familiar with the Steele product over the next few years.

I am a sucker for lengthy cornerbacks and Steele has one with CB Michael "Trey" Johnson. 6-foot-3 and moved very well for a rising junior. Saw time on both sides of the ball as well. This is a D1 cat at some level.

I tell ya, I never enjoy the drive from Austin to San Antonio down i35. I never do. But, the trip was made once again this morning so I could go check out Cibolo Steele HS during one of their spring practices. The objective of the trip was to go check on 2027 DB Eli Johnson and where the Longhorns sat in that recruitment. Johnson, a 6-foot-3-inch defensive back has been one of the quickest risers in the next class of defensive backs. He recently clocked a 4.49 40-yard dash at the Under Armour Elite Series camp in April. Texas nickels coach Keynodo Hudson stopped by Steele Friday morning to get a look at Johnson and the rest of the roster. Today, coaches from Oklahoma State and TCU were in attendance as well. The Longhorns have yet to extend an offer, but one coming in the near future would not be too surprising. The Steele staff raved about Johnson and of course the comparison to former Longhorn Caden Sterns was made. Right now, Texas is keeping tabs on the 2027 prospect.

That's the real problem....

Hopefully the pitching bounces back, but I am more concerned about hitting. Rylan (.325) and Kimble (.323) are the only hitters batting over .300 in conference (not counting Jonah yet) and three starters are batting under .250 (Flores, Farmer, and Borba). Flores is batting .192 in conference.
