Everyone on the team already knew that some players were making tons, whether at GT or at other places. I take all the reported numbers with a grain of salt and I assume most of the top performers are getting taken care of already, so if anything it should just reduce the incentive to transfer...

Yeah, sorry, big run-on sentence there. But yeah make it like a bar or tailgate environment; ideally find a spot with windows in the new AA building or some future South EZ development so you feel “at the game” still. But then you don’t hurt the view on TV and don’t waste those prime seats.

Sell the air conditioned areas separately from the great seats so people spend money to be in the seats themselves while others spend money for AC.

Hamilton, since I don’t really remember they much of my parents watching the 1990 season

It’s tough, though. Netflix, Hulu, etc already bundle with various levels of cell phone plans. I haven’t been in a position to see the numbers in a few year, but it was not a terribly big channel in the past. The plans that can afford to bundle are high-margin top-tier ones and those aren’t...

I think the way the bundling plays out is going to be very interesting. I think some level of bundling will stick around too - even Netflix/hulu/etc are bundles of a sort, you aren’t paying by the show. That’s probably too small a level - nobody wants to juggle four+ subscriptions. But $100...

ESPN’s long term problem is going to be picking up subscribers through any distribution method over the next 15-20 years from kids increasingly growing up on free stuff on their own schedule on TikTok, YouTube, and video games. We’ve gone from cable/satellite as a default, to linear tv being...

A GOR to 2036 but a unilateral option past 2027 for ESPN does seem fairly clownshoes, could it be that FSU’s strategy is to get wheels turning now for a challenge to GOR assuming the contract doesn’t last past 2027? With bonus seeding of bad PR to make it less likely ESPN extends?

The ACCCG against Wake was not the WORST weather but it was a quite miserable overall game experience IMO and always the game I think about when I think about sitting in the rain angry at a game.

Where from? As previously discussed at length, it’s not getting premium ad rates or high viewership numbers, and they’re paying millions to the league. If it’s a big profit engine that could get even bigger if the programs did better then all the “they’re trying to promote the SEC for $$” seems...

I’m skeptical about growth potential for SEC content. Who’s going to start watching Bama or UGA games that isn’t already after their recent runs? IMO I think the bigger concern is they ACC viewership could shrink/collapse and would not be shocked if ESPN cared but acted opposite what we’d do -...

The ACC is a high probability still-high impact risk IMO.

The SEC contract may be larger but it's also safer in some ways - larger fanbases, more established regional powers. The ACC contract, on the other hand, is longer* and full of underperformers with fading relevance. That's the ESPN asset that needs a boost. Problem was, FSU looked kinda...

The transfer portal will balance out that some I think to make it hard to stockpile even more 4- and 5- star players who think they should be starting sooner. Lower divisions might be hit the hardest? Players transferring up as soon as possible to try to get their big break? I think possibly...

Stanford Stafium is a nice new basic stadium, if not looking for atmosphere then it should be higher I think. Nice new basic > older basic, I think.

FSU leaving the ACC could be FAR more damaging to GT than FSU without Travis getting left out of the CFP was. It’s hard to understand getting upset at the ACC for speaking out against it, especially after complaining about the ACC being too quiet about the CFP.

A bit weird to blame the commissioner for responding to members airing dirty laundry. As far as being a clown conference, though… hard to argue when they signed a ten billion long media deal while other leagues were working on shorter timeframes in a highly inflationary environment. SUPER high...

I’m in 2025 now and the DL roster got real thin but I’ve found switching to a 3-3-5 has helped a lot to compensate. Just beat UGA and now I’ve got a matchup with SMU in the ACC title game. Oh, also both King and Isiah Canion (who I redshirted) are in the heisman race because Canion is a beast...

I went for a two point conversion to take a one point lead with 45 seconds left against UGA after playing from behind all game… and promptly gave up a TD drive. Felt all too real lol
