Re: Playoff Hockey

Defense had a couple of lapses in concentration and left the middle open. I am sure that will be corrected.

Re: 2026 Team Previews

You're welcome! Sorry for believing everyone should be paid commensurate to their talent. I thought that was generally accepted, but I've learned when it comes to sports, it's not. Well I believe that talent must generate a profit in order for the company to pay them. Ours does not. It is just that...

Re: 2026 Team Previews

NIL,NIL,NIL I keep hearing NIL. Do any of our players actually have NIL contracts. All I really see is pay for play. The whole damn thing was started on a false narrative. It was all about that the players should get a share of the HUGE dollars being made by the schools. G5 schools were not and are ...

Re: Luke Combs

Yes, but Division III sends 40 teams to their playoff. I don't know what sport that is but not the one I donated to. I donated to a womens volleyball team. I increased my donation this year after seeing their reaction last year. These are true student athletes. They travel by bus and very rarely ev...

Re: Luke Combs

I don’t think Luke Combs’ comments are killing our program, per se, but he has quite the platform, and the more people share that defeatist viewpoint the more it comes true, because why would you donate if you feel that way. I find it to be a lazy, obtuse, fair weather fan take, probably stemming f...

BTW, Luke just had a concert at Oklahoma that raised $1.5 million for their NIL fund. Same thing at Tennessee earlier in the week.

Re: Roster/Staff Updates

With modern technology you could send out a vote before the game with songs from different genres and different times 80,90,00, today. Let the students choose 1/3rd and the season ticket holders choose 1/3 and the football team choose 1/3 of the songs used. You do understand this is a group that ca...

Re: Roster/Staff Updates

I think you are correct. However, I think there is a large number of fans who simply cannot come to terms with that, myself included. That means that I am much closer to no longer being a fan than to accepting what this has become. It has definitely affected my interest and passion. It’s becoming m...

Re: Roster/Staff Updates

I am not one of those complaining but just feel like those who have complained won't stop until we are Sun Belt East Champions and I do think that would take 10 wins. We are in a new era of college football where old expectations need to be removed. Like it or not, we are a minor league division fo...

Just win games. That is what everyone is being paid for. My personal opinion is 3 yrs max and depending on results maybe 2. I really don't care about personality.

Re: Roster/Staff Updates

It is fine if one wants to express their opinion about the make-up of the coaching staff, the make-up of athletic operations staff, etc Whatever one wants to do. If I am a coach or AD, I am not giving one ounce of consideration to outside the building opinions on those ideas. It is their program an...
