    2020 Adidas Swag Thread

    Unfortunately those price points aren’t going to get us what would be considered “high quality”. At a $50 price point for a polo, that’s going to be a wholesale (what adidas sells it to accounts for) price of $25. The days of a wholesale $25 polo from a major brand are LONG gone. We can still...

    2020 Adidas Swag Thread

    I’ve been saying this for a while. And I hear it directly from the companies that make/distribute the gear, even though some people (some of which are here) don’t want to believe me/hear it. Same thing with the gold/navy colored apparel never-ending complaint. We have low numbers in terms of...

    Time to use this title. Pressley Harvin :(

    When I contracted/dealt with COVID, I pestered the hell out of my health care providers and testing facility with questions regarding things like this. For what it’s worth, I was told that with the nasal swab test, false positives were a very low occurrence compared to false negatives, to a...

    The ACC will delay the start of competition for all fall sports until at least Sept. 1

    That particular post was in reference to ADs’ decisions. And yes football factors massively into their decisions. The revenue from football drives almost every decision an AD makes. So what AD at a power 5 conference would vote against football, when losing that revenue could mean massive...

    The ACC will delay the start of competition for all fall sports until at least Sept. 1

    I’m not talking about football. I thought the discussion was on the votes of the ADs. ADs have to deal with all sports, not just football. So what AD in their right mind would vote against their biggest revenue generator? And Iowa has already cut 4 sports due to decreased projected revenues...

    The ACC will delay the start of competition for all fall sports until at least Sept. 1

    Maybe not, but the ADs are also responsible with balancing the finances for all sports programs at a school. We all know football is usually the biggest revenue source by far for an athletic program. So naturally ADs are going to want football and vote for such any way they can. And haven’t...

    Stansbury comments on season tickets

    If not, no big worry. Still not too excited about this season, anyway. If there aren’t acceptable seats when I get to pick, I’ll just roll it to next year and pick my seats for/start looking forward to basketball this year.

    Stansbury comments on season tickets

    I prefer the upper East for views (when comparing to upper West), but the upper East concessions and even restrooms are terrible. West has it beat by far in those regards, if that matters to you.

    The ACC will delay the start of competition for all fall sports until at least Sept. 1

    That’s actually the part that I’ve thought of the most, as position groups are likely to spend a lot of time around each other, and if one in the group tests positive/contracts the virus, it can spread quite easily to the rest/quarantine the entire group. A team couldn’t play without all of...

    It means the front panels of the hat aren’t reinforced/don’t support themselves. The front of the hat (where the logo is) doesn’t hold its own shape. Aka, a slouch hat. The only thing that will hold the front of the hat up is your head itself.

    They are Ultraboosts. Some of the most comfortable shoes ever. I do have them in white and gold (Ultraboost 20 models), but the GT branding would be nice.

    Are we the only Adidas school that they didn’t make these shoes for?

    The ACC will delay the start of competition for all fall sports until at least Sept. 1

    I forget which thread (maybe earlier in this one), but as a former/sometimes still competitive athlete I detailed some of my ongoing experiences with the virus. For me, even though my active infection was beyond what I would call “mild”, it wasn’t anything that I was truly scared of during the...

    The ACC will delay the start of competition for all fall sports until at least Sept. 1

    I can personally attest to what that article discusses as the long term/lingering effects. They suck, and are some days almost debilitating.

    I reached out to my rep to ask about the likelihood of all seats being gone by the time my selection window opens, and in a few more words he confirmed that it’s a very real possibility. So that’s cool...

    The ACC will delay the start of competition for all fall sports until at least Sept. 1

    I think the argument that people make against students being kept off campus while athletes are allowed on campus is "why should football players/student athletes get better treatment/testing/conditions than that of the regular student body?" I've seen some form of this all over Twitter when...

    I had a Stinger Mobile pass for basketball this past season as well. Yes, there was a difference like you stated....for the Stinger Pass, you had to be within X miles of the campus to log in and download your ticket(s), and those did not have a "transfer" option in the app/web page. It was the...

    And/or, they’ve (ACC, SEC, BIG12) are just playing essentially a stall game to hopefully buy more time, hoping for a magic solution to arise.
