  1. The folks that seem to give the most to athletics seem to be the Armstrong's all I could find from 2019 was the following and I don't know if it is the same guy. "Independent geologist Bill Armstrong and his small Denver exploration company may have found the third largest hydrocarbon field ever discovered in the US, on Alaska’s North Slope."
  2. Donors at SMU took care of the Pony Express, now donors have told SMU join the ACC with no payout and we got you. SMU has been dying to be relevant again and now they have the means and conference to do so. They may not be able to get the recruits that BIG and SEC get but they could buy being a contender in the ACC for the yearly playoff automatic bid. Please provide more detail as to how comparing desire and money spent in the 80's to win games is different from desire and money spent on NIL to win games in 2024. It was cheating then? So what everyone spent less. Now it is just more expensive? If your answer is the second it leads back to my original point, it will not be a problem. https://www.smu.edu/AboutSMU/annual-report/2021-2022-principal-and-major-donors
  3. Were you around in the early 80's to see that SMU does not struggle for money or influence when it thinks it can actually win something.
  4. I read somewhere the PAC still owns (maybe has an agreement) the Rosebowl so a merger may be the better deal to keep the rights and still play someone from the BIG 10.
  5. Power 5?
  6. Midweek home games for Standford and Cal should be at SMU for Volleyball and Baseball and weekend games can be at home. Does SMU have the real estate to build a HUB athletic building full of dorms? Maybe the money can come from there over the next 9 years.
  7. They are gone in 2036 for sure. ESPN allowed the smaller schools to secure money through 2036 as long as they have 15 members. So can the ACC just let UNC, Clemnson and Florida State out of the GOR with some kind of nice fat settlement. That leaves the remaining schools sitting pretty with lots of extra money in their pocket to distribute on top of the ESPN TV money they are getting today. They are going to be left out in the cold come 2031 or 2036 so why not do it next year?
  8. It would not surprise me if they start spending enough NIL money to become relevant again.
  9. Maybe Gerry was right and it was all going to come down to distance once LSU was eliminated. I still think this one will be decided based on the outcome of the regular season between Texas and aggy.
  10. Reaction to the coaches telling mom about Austin Texas
  11. Quick someone let Crow know the game is digitized and people can view it all over the world.
  12. Nebraska fans Rhule vs Frost in close game
  13. They lost yardage but they got it back.
  14. Whoop, there it is
  15. We give refs shit but that guy got it right and it was close in real time
  16. Lets hope Steve figures it out this year and no longer looks lost in some games.
  17. New QB? Didn't he have a ton of interceptions at Wisconsin.
  18. With all the cord cutting they adopted this strategy.
  19. Obligatory with that name
  20. I only experienced one aborted landing and it was at DFW when coming in from DC. Everything was smooth as could be and we are about to touch down when the pilot guns it straight up. No explanation or nothing. After one loop we approach and land. I always assumed someone started to cross the runway.
  21. Please tell me someone has a screenshot of that fearsome bunch from Nebraska especially number 57.
  22. I read this and it looks like a certain pattern is expected.
  23. I rather see Murphy play so well he can't afford to stay.
  24. Georgia - Because of their schedule and talent. LSU - Because I want to play the SEC on the way to the final. Texas - Cause if Steve does not fuck it up with his lack of adjustments during games everything is in place for us to be there. Michigan - That rivalry always seems to go on long streaks My dream scenario is beating Alabama, LSU and Georgia on the way to a championship and see who in the media dares ask if we are ready for the SEC. We know aggy will still ask and assert it even under my dream scenario.
