I saw that as well, but we seem to be taking a long time with the hire so maybe someone else is in the picture as well.

I'm not counting G5 teams, which really have 0 chance of getting in. Of the p5 teams I think almost every year at least one spot will go to a non-blueblood and maybe even 2 (Iowa was the first one out year 1). Wisconsin and TCU have both been close as well. Years like this one where everyone...

I disagree. I think we're going to see more parity going forward. I believe that at least 1 of the playoff spots most years will be a non-blueblood and we will have a few that will contain more than one.

Meh the playoffs do let non-blueblood schools in, Michigan State and Washington both made the playoffs.

I was just pointing out that we haven't had anywhere near the support for football that we have had for basketball which explains why there is so little thought put into fan engagement or marketing on the football side. The people who are in charge love the bball program but really see the...

The powers that be believe we are a basketball school. Our last AD was hired specifically because he was a basketball guy, he had zero big time FB experience. We put $50million into renovating the pavilion about 10 years ago and we have top notch facilities/gyms for the team. We have also put an...

K. But the locker room isn't for you and you aren't paying for it.

It's being funded by a donor and isn't being paid for by the AA general fund, so that money is earmarked specifically for the locker room.

Texas did just win their first bowl game since 2012 after renovating their locker room...

I'll probably get flamed for this, but I haven't been that impressed by Stewart's blocking. It isn't bad, but he isn't like Cone or Smelter putting guys in the dirt.

Coach Johnson said there's a committee that includes several players so that they have a major say in what to put in. The design is targeting the athletes and what they want. I know @trombone4Christ was joking but I thought I would post this before anyone seriously started arguing about stuff...

Those are also just what is locked in/guaranteed. We can basically "renegotiate" after year 3, and if we're winning conference titles and reeling off 9-10 win seasons then we will have more leverage to get maybe more guaranteed money anyway.

Sounds like we're betting on ourselves with the $$ bump tied to performance.

6'5" 305lbs? He's already the biggest OT on the team. He's got 15lbs on Stick who'll be a Senior this year.

That has literally never happened though

Nah. We went 3-1 vs SEC on Thanksgiving, VT beat WVU, Miami curb stomped Notre Dame, NC State beat Notre Dame. We had a weak bowl record but if Utah didn't win their bowl game the Pac-12 would have been swept. ACC had a down year but the Pac-12 is easily the worst conference in football. Also...

Kicking aside, our coverage and return game was also bad last year. It hasn't always been bad so maybe it was just a down year. Additionally, we are probably never going to be elite at it because we simply don't have crazy depth with 4-5 star guys who can spend most of their practice time on...

The DL coach taking over for Pelton will be the last spot. I considered this the "10th" coach because you need a DL coach but you don't necessarily need two DB coaches.

Not a knock on the guy, but I kind of wish we had gone with a dedicated ST coach for the 10th spot.

That's a very small number of retweets and likes for an account with 50k followers. It should honestly be pinned and they probably shouldn't have announced it the same day as we officially announced the DC. It should have also gone out during the week and not on Saturday. Do we have a social...
