Not to argumentative, but we also decreased seating with our South End Zone changes.........actually a super move because those seats were literally out of the stadium. The trend now is to cannibalize the cheap seats and replace with lux boxes. I think Northwestern has the right idea. Especially if you are a niche market. Personally, I think we should tear out the top 20 rows of the West upper deck. Add a "short sun canopy" that reduces afternoon sun and increases crowd noise. Just another good idea that CDC hasn't asked me about!

Not bad idea. I think if CDC offers a tall blond on a Harley, we may can swing it.

Unless QB is a defensive position that I am not aware of, It's trash comments like this that made me change from the last "service". We no longer have an offensive issue. Once all the receivers execute their allotted 1 dropped ball per game, we roll pretty good. Now if you want to discuss our overall 'bend and then break' defensive philosophy, we may have something to discuss.

I can only assume that you are a younger man than I. Let me bring you up to speed. When Duffy Daugherty was head football coach, MSU football adopted the Nascar Philosophy......"if you ain't cheatin, you ain"t tryin". Lo and behold, football played for a Natty. The entire athletic department then embraced the concept. Here you can insert football, basketball, gymnastics, et. al. It is now cultural. Probably a 3 hour credit course. UM, on the other hand, stayed with low level, under the table stuff. You know, the standard way of doing business in college athletics up until NIL. Just small stuff kept under the table. One final thought: MSU, or course, isn't the only culprit. There are others, but the Spartans seem to be solid in their long-term commitment. Bros?: If you rearrange the initials, you get SMU.................is that weird, or what?

Not a bad idea. That would certainly keep the ball rolling in Waco. I like predictability.

After looking at the list Jerry provided, I must say that I am shocked at the heights for these gals.

Agree. You may also remember that the Baton Rouge Coffee Club wasn't too nice to Big Ed either. I wouldn't count out Jimbo on this deal. He has no conscience or morals, and he truly believes he is an elite football coach. Then throw in A/M paying part of his salary......just sayn.

Technically you are probably correct. But you can never forget that the party is in Louisianna. It will probably have an LSU alum as judge and everyone in the jury wearing purple and gold. This will not be an issue of Spanish law..................this will be LSU law.

I love numbers, but this year's group is so heckle/jeckle. It would probably be interesting to add in a "by-quarter" layer. This year's group tends to start off a bit timid gaining confidence as the contest evolves. I bet the differences between Q1 and Q4 are staggering.

I am not sure whether we are weighing in on coaches (esp. Traylor) or the AlamoDome. I will speak to each. I gave up my DKR seats after 4X years because of Austin traffic before and after games. I replaced my football fix with UTSA. It is 15 minutes from my house to my seat in the AD. Yes, the PA announcer and the noise volumes are horrific. I never leave a game without a headache. As for Traylor, he is an exceptional coach. Whether he can be an exceptional "ring master' at a major university is unknown.

I am picking on you, but most of the folks on this thread just do not understand how the coaching gig works. First, you are an assistant. Then, you are a coordinator. Then, you go to a smaller (ie less well known) school. Then, after you make your mark at these levels, you go for the annuity. If i was Collin, I would take OSU in a heartbeat. But I think they will look for HC experience....... Major would be a good choice there. he is toiling in a cesspool now.

I get the dark humor, but in Woodward's defense, the contract he gave out was the standard head coach deal. In truth everyone in Cajun country, from Monroe to Morgan City was giddy. The real issue here is reality. In this year's hiring rampage of 10 or so "big time coaches", only 1 will be brilliant..........the others will be fiscally irresponsible.

Yes this is super sad. The guys discussed this at length this morning. Frankly, there just are not any really large exclusive viewing areas for these schools. I not sure that the states of Kansas, Colorado or Utah have that many TV's. The MetroPlex is still big for Tech, but UT and Oklahoma generally prevail. In Houston, its Texas, LSU, and TA/M. All I really say for sure, is that Cody is thinking with his heart and not his head.

Far be it from me to extrapolate Dan Neil's thoughts, but I think he is saying we aren't very quick off the ball. And, I agree. We just don't get off the ball quick enough. But I stick with my basic hypothesis, "paralysis by analysis". Once we trust our assignments, the quickness and power will come. Quick big is better that quick small. We do execute in small batches, but then regress. My suggestion for all the offense is just shut your brain down and go play...... easier said than done.

I haven't been a Giants fan since the Willies' left. But I think major league managers are too timid when it comes to addressing how players play the game. MLB players today simply do not execute the fundamentals at a high level. I wonder is a college guy, adding fundamentals to the daily routine, would improve the quality of play. I actually stopped watching the Astros because they were so fundamentally unsound.
