Republicans have been upset with the CPD for a long time (at least since 2012), and the Biden campaign was upset by things that happened in the 2020 debates. So when TXST was chosen as a debate site, I thought there was a good chance it wouldn’t happen (for all kinds of reasons) but hoped for...

If it was a joke, then why did you double down with a list of bogus claims tying the decision to a Bobcat alum , the venue, etc.?

WTF are you talking about? None of that was a factor in this decision. But I guess some folks have to find a reason to shit on their own alma mater. It’s almost pathological.

In what way did TXST do anything to “Bobcat this away”?

Based on today’s news, looks like that debate won’t happen now.

I wonder if they’ve considered a video screen at the north end of the stadium. If fans will be on that south end zone deck during the game, you might think they would want something that helps them watch the action on the field. Those two flanking screens won’t be very useful for them. Maybe...

There’s some irony in pointing to Finley’s departure as evidence that the coaching staff can’t bring in and hold on to QBs who could start. Finley left because the coaching staff wanted to bring in a second QB who could compete for a starting job. And when they parted ways with De Laura, they...

For crying out loud. In the cases of Nealy/George, Newton/Tebow, Applewhite/Sims, those were in a very different era in which players rarely transferred in search of a place a place to start. As for Ewers/Manning, surely you’re not suggesting TXST has anywhere near the cachet of a school like UT...

Ummm… You realize a team starts just one QB at a time, right? Under your logic, a staff could have a winning, four-year starter but “whiff” on every other QB they recruit who didn’t earn a start or who decided to move on because they wanted a better opportunity to start elsewhere. How does that...

“Whiffed”? That kind of perjorative rhetoric grates. The reality is this staff has just one season under its belt and got a starting QB who won us a bowl in that first season. Now we have a QB who was conference PoY ready for the second season. Does the fact that the other QBs weren’t/aren’t...

Smart marketing move by UFCU, which has branches on multiple campuses in Texas, including at A&M. Might have happened at some point anyway, but I have to think last season’s bowl run helped make the deal more appealing for them. And as a UFCU member for well over 30 years, I like it even more...

Looks like Baylor lost their QB commit after the QB coach who recruited him took a job at UH. Given that Baylor’s offense (especially at QB) has not performed well the last couple of years, it’s not surprising that they replaced that coach. It says something that Spav couldn’t keep the...

I posted The Athletic’s article about this on a different thread a little while back. There are so many obstacles to this happening, including the greed of Big 10 and SEC schools that are financially set already. Ironically, if the divisions looked like these, then we’d be back to essentially...

Those student fees at JMU. Hard to argue with success, I suppose, but ouch. Question: Where does the funding for “institutional support” come from?

Whether or not this specific plan is what ultimately happens, it seems that the move toward the full professionalization of college football is gaining steam. This plan making the rounds is being proposed by a group of “college presidents, Roger Goodell’s primary lieutenant at NFL and some of...

KD in a Facebook comment a couple of weeks ago said they couldn’t put the new Victory Star on the hilltop complex — it was too late to make the necessary construction change when he had asked about it. But he said they will put it on another building that needed roof work and that has almost the...

The extended break doesn’t worry me much, but the short week does. Glad it’s a home game at least.

Oh, I’m plenty old enough to have enjoyed a lot of what Thursday nights had to offer. Friday classes were often painful for me. But I’m not so worried about whether students will come to a Thursday game against a Big 12 school. The problem will be alums who can’t make it to town midweek...

College football should be played on Saturdays as God intended. I’m 99% sure it’s in the Bible — something about honoring the Sabbath by getting all your weekend drinking and hellraising done at the stadium on Saturday. I’m a perennial complainer to my friends about how TV networks are wrecking...
