  1. This is what I did for the Michigan game this year. Hoping it works out. They haven’t announced the cost of the season tickets yet. Not sure what the secondary market is for Vandy games? When I went to college there, games always had lots of empty seats.
  2. We could ask him, but I would be afraid of the length of the answer.
  3. I live a little north of Detroit. Great place to live, lots of fun stuff to do. Some really cool architecture. Things have changed since I moved here in 2009. Some run down parts of town, but no worse than any of the other big cities I’ve lived in. Ann Arbor is a nice college town. I work there periodically, and it’s a fun place to visit. The big house is a great place to watch a game. I take my son to a game every year, and it’s always a good atmosphere. Detroit isn’t particularly close to AA, and the game day traffic can be bad. If you don’t plan to get there really early, 14 can be a tough slog. If you can make it work in AA, I would. If you’re just looking for a cheap place to stay, Ypsilanti is a drab town, but it has a state university, Eastern Michigan. I bet there will be hotels there, and it’s much closer than Detroit. Lansing is about equidistant to AA relative to Detroit. It’s not a town I enjoy visiting, though MSU has a beautiful campus. Another option.
  4. What do you mean? The point was that ISU plays down to teams worse than them every year. ISU was a 9 point favorite, was ranked 23 spots higher in SP+, and had a higher composite recruiting ranking. You stated Memphis had more talent than ISU and the players they have now are better, but all the above disagrees. Teams play up and beat more talented teams all the time.
  5. 5 year composite recruiting rankings don't agree.
  6. Maybe if you build your culture around out-efforting more talented programs, it’s hard to find the effort against the schools with similar or worse talent. Seems like ISU plays shitty against a bad team every year.
  7. Is this Wiltfong helping Elko by putting more pressure on smith, who is trying to keep his visit quiet? <tinfoil hat>
  8. As the father of a 13 year old boy in Michigan, let me assure you that 35 is not the bottom of that outfits temperature limit.
  9. That’s what I thought too. Back spasm.
  10. ABC just said Texas is in with a win or a KSU win or a OSU loss. They also said KSU is eliminated. OU needs OSU to lose or Texas and KSU to lose.
  11. Skidmore is a logical school because of Saratoga Springs.
  12. Good point. I assume the conference doesn’t see it that way, but that’s the way it is worded.
  13. I think the confusion is if the tiebreaker re-ranks when it restarts. If not, then the above scenario holds as Texas has the best record against the number 4 teams. If we start all over and rerank with Oklahoma as 1, then OSU has a better record against the highest common opponent, OU.
  14. I think is the next highest common opponent. I think it comes down to Kansas vs Tech’s ranking order.
  15. Just coming here to say that! So frustrating. And reviewable, as well.
  16. Have we mentioned that Mitchell was clearly being interfered with on the called back TD?
  17. "... the pride of Lake Orion" That's the same Lake Orion (LOHorn) from my handle. Maybe I can get to the bottom of all this. Or maybe I am Conner Stallions myself and this is all part of my reconnaissance for when the Horns play Meat Chicken in the playoffs.
  18. Does the aggy AD realize he could hire an aggy head coach? Then they would have to support the coach, no matter what.
  19. It’s the not recognizing how to be the better team that gets me. We had won everything up to that point. Kick the FG, keep winning. Why give them a chance to have a win? The a blocked fg occurs and now they have a series of wins. Why do that? We aren’t the underdogs that need to take chances.
  20. Fair enough. Will shut up and wait for more screen shots about this week's statement victory over a 2-6 squad.
  21. Tuition billing is a major item, especially post-COVID and campus fees. None of that changes the fact that students have very little power to change the athletic fees, or really any fees. And they don't have to be called athletics fees. My institution has "no fees", just a flat rate for classes. But it transfers several million dollars to the athletic department every year. Most public universities aren't even required openly disclose them, excepting some laws in VA and the Carolinas. You have to make a request. Private institutions are free to do as the wish, though there is some stuff related to receiving federal monies. Still, in general, schools don't need to openly share with students what their fees are, or where they are going. And most schools are not inclined to do so. In some cases students have complained about the athletic fees, passed student congress complaints about the fees and projected raises in them, and the boards have approved them anyway over those complaints. Students must pay what the tuition and fees are, and the universities set those as the wish. Students can raise a fuss, and try to shine a light on it, but the university is under no obligation to answer to those complaints. And, frankly, students should know that their tuition money is already going to the football or basketball player next to them. Be it through "institutional support" for scholarships, athletics dorms or facilities, or food. Probably not at Texas, Michigan, or Alabama, but most everywhere else. It's only a matter of time till someone gets NIL connected.
  22. I can’t fix my post, but coaches cannot directly donate to NIL collectives. I think they could donate to their personal foundation and have that foundation donate to the collective, but I’m not sure. At any rate, “institutional support” will find its way into NIL collectives, if it isn’t already.
