    I haven’t paid any attention to Tascosa since I graduated a couple decades ago. But I’m all in now baby!

    btw, I had 4 ints and 4 rec tds as a senior. Drank a lot of miller lite back then too. Good ole days. 

    When were you there. My brother was QB on the 1990 team.

    Here's the latest from the OregonLive that @Beau Vine and @Post Oak posted earlier:

    Pac-12 Loses "staring contest" with DirectTV

    Excerpts:

    1) Pac 12 has no money to pay coaches competitively next to other Power Five.  Two of the three biggest hires (Kelly and Sumlin) are competitive only because other organizations are paying part of their bill.

    2) Attendance is down due to stupid kick off times and six day windows

    3) The Pac-12 CEO group cares a lot about non-revenue sports championships and that's why the Pac 12 Network is built the way it is.   However, it is only carried in 17.5m homes.

    4) DirectTV couldn't provide different sports packages at the time like cable companies could, so they wouldn't pay the higher rates in the cable contracts.   If Scott discounted DTV to get the homes, he'd have to give the same discount to the cable companies.   They chose rates over eyeballs and lost.

    5) Olympic sport expenses are high, investment in football is low.

    Yes. This is from a four part series from Oregon Live. Required reading. A shit show of self-dealing and insular university presidents.

    Is there something specific about the stadium that makes it awesome for Cowboys football but shitty for college football?  

    No. It is great for CFB. It’s just the Cowboys  production that sucks the life out of it.

    If Mack was brought in to stabilize the program while grooming some up-and-coming coordinator to take over in a few years, this would make some sense. 

    But then again, the HC-in-waiting thing didn't really follow the script the first time around.

    This is exactly what’s happening. Apparently Fedora destroyed the relationships with HS coaches there. Mack is coming to mend fences and groom successor.

    There is a medium between five wide no huddle and run clock without moving the ball. We chose to sit on the lead and nearly lost because of it. That is not in question. It was a huge tactical error. 

    It was the holding penalties on first down deep in our own side that hurt us.
