dont draw any conclusions there... SD St Jackrabbits are going to end up being really good this year.

LA Tech wonΓÇÖt be fun but at least Frisco is good for the fans.
A great reward for the team , too. You remember, the TEAM. Busted their ars to get to go to FRISCO?

maybe the players would LOVE frisco because more family and friends could catch them in a bowl game? i dont know how so many people ...

we get it. we officially don't need any more people to weigh in on the undesirability of frisco or a sunbelt opponent. this is not a hot take. thank you.

i like to think that the teams doing the midnight madness and/or charity games are like rocky balboa's training approach whereas the secret scrimmagers are like clubber lang.

DJ should be getting 1-2 possessions per game regardless of opponent. It's a good change up. Forces the other team to gameplan for something else. And as great as Hicks has been this year, it's not a bad idea to have him watch the opposing defense with CM on the sideline for one possession each game.

I know we are still months away from national signing day but just curious on people's take with the recruiting numbers. I know some are apples to oranges as some recruits could receive a lot of offers as the day nears but still doesn't look amazing:

you better believe there will be plenty of players in that situation if we let tcu onto our level.

the tcu game is about holding ...

the one thing that i haven't seen come up in this whole debate is the recruiting perspective. first off, i dont think hicks should be benched. but if you ARE advocating to pull him, how on earth do you think that would play in recruiting circles if hicks was at the helm of the "most explosive ...

dont count on it. we had a one-off watch party at a bar for the TCU game (which was well put together, thanks) but there's no designated go-to spot. hopefully that changes soon.

Caddie's was cool when I lived there (2006-08), is it still?

small world... fair to say it was cooler then, for sure ...

recruiting should be higher but everything else seems about right...

i also dont think normal fans care as much about revenue growth as the other criteria.

you think new mexico state, charlotte, and utep fans are really happier about their programs than we are??? i can't imagine...

didnt i just see that MK is on the Detroit summer league team?
