Very happy the kid is coming back, but not gonna lie... he should've pocketed that cash and suited up for UGA next year.

UGA, Auburn, tOSU, Bama. TxAM

you know it was 2 of these cheaters. NCAA has a big time storm of sh-t on their hands.

Then there's this:

The Bahamas Bowl (Miami- Ohio v. UAB): attendance- 12,172

The Cure Bowl (UTSA v. Troy): attendance- 11,911

The Las Vegas Bowl (Florida v. Oregon St): attendance- 29,750

 

 

I was just out to dinner and one of the TVs had a bowl game on with Toledo vs Liberty and I swear there wasn’t 500 people in the stands. Bowl games like this shouldn’t exist.

I’m just uneducated on how another school can offer a kid money.  This NIL thing is fugged up…I need to read up on it

Bowl games aren’t about attendance unless it’s a NY6 or a CFP bowl, it’s all about TV ratings and somehow, these shitty bowls still pull in good ratings.

For example, ESPN Events owns the RoofClaim.com Boca Raton Bowl that featured Toledo and Liberty. RoofClaim.com is the titling sponsor but it’s owned and operated by ESPN Events. Surprisingly, this game was the highest rated show (original) on TV for Tuesday. Does ESPN care that it looked like there was only 2,000 people in the stands? Absolutely not, their network was responsible for the highest rated show on television on Tuesday and that’s all that matters to them.

I have this Houston bowl game on in the background while I get poo done around the house and I'm not exaggerating when I say there might be a few dozen fans in attendance. They just showed a wide shot of the stands and now I know why it seemed like they had been avoiding doing that. The sea of aluminum was blinding.

Who's gonna freeze their ass off in freakishly cold weather in Shreveport watching a pair of 6-6 and 7-5 G5 teams?  It's a 3 hour drive if you're a ULL fan.

    • We could quibble about was that an answer to what I asked but I  don’t see it as being one. Look, he agreed to this Evero thing. Up front. Apparently anyway. Took the job with those conditions in place. I buy that and will work off of it.  This play calling issue isn’t the same thing. I am not in the mood to delve into Canales’ shortcomings and get out the pitchforks at the moment. I will abstain from that topic and stick to the quandary the dissenters who want to usurp his play calling power, find themselves in. As far as that goes I am still on the fence and think the play calling is Bryce centric and the play selection/playbook is affected. That does not mean I know that if the playbook was open he would be great play caller. Just that he is hampered right now.  Inserting an OC not of Canales’ approval changes the original parameters of the assumed agreement.  Unless you think Tepper placed a contractual prescription to allow Tepper to dictate that he can insert a play caller of his choosing after a time period if he is not satisfied with Canales’ work.  Which, do you really think that is in play?  I do not.    Unless it is, Canales has the option to yea or nay. As I said, it could be forced on him. But they only do that if they want him out.  And as of now his stock is up, I would have to say I don’t own any but I think it is up. He had the stadium rocking, the team in the playoffs, and has that sorry lil draft pick trending upward. Even at this very low rate.  I think he has ‘hand’ right now as they say on Seinfeld. This is something that may get play in the 2026 season, not now. IMO.     
    • Canes now have 19 losses on the year. Here is the truly alarming stat. 13 of those were multiple goal loses. 9 of those were 3 goal plus losses. This team is getting blown out more than any other year under Rod.     why?  Blue line is a total mess. It’s just no good with their combinations.  It pains me to say this, but they were mikes better with Burns and Orlov. They need Slavin so bad.  Health.  Size. The team is too small and has no physical play. Most forwards do not forecheck.  Worst under Rod.  Goalie play. Pretty average to sub par. PK is downright bad. It’s allowing a little over a goal a game. Worst under Rod.    Team will not win a playoff round under its current group of players. It’s not constructed to do so against heavy teams.      solutions.  Must get physical size by the trade deadline. Rod and Tulsky know this. That probably has to come with the 2C.  KKs size but a better scorer and meaner.  The need another physical winger.  Goalie. Either go all in on a top guy on a bad team or get average. Lastly, better defense. Need a Right shot heavy defenseman.  Yes that could mean someone’s favorite dman could sit. Looking at you Boom.    thats 3-4 new guys that must be brought in for them to have a chance at a cup.  And it’s all players that are different and better than what they have.  They have the cap. KK is gone. Add 4 mill back.    And then hope it’s jells unlike Mikko.
