    We'll be happy when the Sark threads disappear in a couple of years, too.

    I don't know. I enjoyed winning the Big 12 and making the playoffs 2 straight years. I also don't find Sark to be a detestable person like Herman was. Sark also has a pretty good record against OU and aggy.

    Ok, cool.  Hook 'em.

    Hopefully you can find some other threads here about thinks you like.  Good luck!

    That would be very few threads since he hates pretty much everything.

    The new transfer portal window is only from Jan 2-16. There is no more spring window and it’s the only time undergrads can enter the portal. We should be using our time and resources to secure the best talent in the portal instead of channeling our resources into a bowl game with no championship implications. If a transfer has to be swayed by the outcome of the Cheez-It bowl, we aren’t as solid as we think. 

    I'm going to post this again. aggy's bowl game practices helped them get KC Concepcion when he was debating which school to transfer to. He attended aggy's Las Vegas Bowl practices and watched Marcel Reed throw. He committed shortly after that. aggy isn't playing the playoff without him. So yeah, maybe we can do both.

    But would ticket prices be higher for those G5 teams, or for ND? Would the season ticket package be higher for a schedule that had ND instead of a G5?

    *To be clear, I recognize that the actual difference is small relative to the entire athletic budget, but I have seen essentially no blue blood or other big program take any step that doesn't attempt to squeeze very dime out of the system that it can. 

    I would imagine going forward, the SEC is going to drop the P4 rule. The Big 10 doesn't require it and Indiana is certainly lining up 3 cupcakes at home now. If the SEC does the same, it would make sense that we only schedule teams willing to come to DKR. That way you always have 7 home games versus 6 in years we would normally go to the away leg of a P4. 

  5. Is it though? We sold out the stadium for terrible G5 teams this season. What cash bonanza is the program getting from a Notre Dame series than playing Purdue? I don't think TV networks bump up your pay if you get them a sexy OOC matchup to broadcast. I'm imagine the city of Austin does better than Texas does when a big name matchup happens at DKR. Are we basing this on more expensive tickets for a Notre Dame game than someone else?
