  1. I had never heard that.
  2. The other key, and what I think is THE KEY that made it work for Tech, is everyone has to be in alignment on what it is you are trying to do. In your scenario above you mentioned the possibility that the big NIL donor would want to demand Dana possibly as the coach. That simply won't work. The NIL sources can't hold the institution hostage on their personal wants and desires. What was great at Tech is that the Matador Club (Campbell, Sellers, Cash, tons of other donors) worked with Joey, James Blanchard, Kirby, et al to find out what they needed. Blanchard as GM identified not just talent, but FIT. Priorities were placed on DL first, OL second. Everything down to the last dollar was very strategic and had to fit with what Joey and his coaches identified as what they wanted and needed. Without that, throwing a ton of NIL money at talent isn't going to work.
  3. I'm in the minority...I liked the beveled Double T, always have. Thought it was the upgrade we needed over the old one (happened in the mid-to-late 90's). 1000000% Amen.
  4. Nevermind. Didn’t realize this was a separate tab.
  5. We have something we’ve never had before. A defensive line. These things (DLs) are kind of cool. Who knew that a real DL can make all of the rest of the defense infinitely better?
  6. Does Florida count as a P4 team this year?
  7. Got any lotto numbers or stock tips to share?
  8. What exactly was the unnecessary roughness on that play?
  9. Is Vegas just giving money away these days? What do they know that we don’t?
  10. It doesn’t need to be brought back. That’s the reality for a good number of the frat guys at SMU.
  11. I still get Seneca Wallace PTSD from time-to-time.
  12. This defense may be as bad as any Tech had under Kingsbury.
  13. 0-2 ND still ranked. Ridiculous.
  14. It amazes me how dumb and undisciplined professional players, and coaches for that matter, can be. That last drive by Dallas was ridiculously stupid.
  15. And yet people still sellout that stadium every week. Nothing will ever change until people stop going and Jerry is no longer making obscene profits.
  16. How many total penalties is that on him? I lost count. Two personal fouls, two false starts, but I feel like I’m missing one. Did he get a holding call too?
  17. I love this as a fan of the visiting team.
  18. No they weren’t you ignorant fuck. Their accreditation was delayed because they didn’t fully meet the assessment documentation requirements. It is literally one of the most common deficiencies in the 10-year SACSCOC review. They had it reconciled within a year. They were never in danger of losing accreditation. But please continue to spout bs that shows you have no idea what you’re taking about.
  19. That TT board on Austin 360 had some legendary folks who helped start a couple of the great Tech boards of all-time. Wreck'Em.com was by far the best board in 1999-2002ish. Ended up having a bit of a rivalry with raiderpower, which was started by folks that got their feelings hurt at Wreck'em. Most of the Wreck'em posters migrated to RedRaiderSports.com, which eventually joined the Rivals network and now it's part of the On3 network. Raiderpower never came close to matching the posters or the content at RRS, but RRS went 100% subscription and RP maintained some free boards. But it all started at Austin 360. There are people at RRS and RP who still have their Austin 360 usernames as their names on these boards. And I know a handful who have passed on as well.
  20. I got to work out with him at one of the Leach Fantasy Camps. He is genuinely one of the nicest people you will ever meet. And very, very, very fast.
  21. Iceman = slorch?
  22. I like how they tried to incorporate uniform elements from the different decades, starting with the 1920's:
