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.

    • 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.  
    • A 2 year deal for Coker would be terribly short sighted as I pointed out in another thread the other day. T-Mac will be eligible for an extension after 2 more seasons, and while there is still 2 years to go, he's very much looked like the type of player you extend right away, knowing waiting will only cost more money and take longer before the contract becomes a bargain with rising contracts every year. So if we sign Coker to a 2 year extension, that means we either let Coker walk after those 2 years or we don't extend T-Mac when we should, as I can't see signing both in the same off season much of an option, it was terrible for the Bengals this year. I like doing a 1 year deal for Coker to set his market value with a full season as the #2, and then sign him to a 3 or 4 year deal after that, which also separates Coker and T-Mac's contract years to help keep both around instead of having to choose at some point, like the Bengals should have done. I also think coming to an agreement on a multi year deal right now could be tough, the team will want to pay the rate of his actual production so far and his agent will want to be paid on his potential from his few breakout games, everyone might just be too far apart for a multi year deal.
    • I would love Sonny Styles!.   I don’t think he slips that far.   Get the best OT available at 19.  There is a good chance icky will miss next year and then come back and may switch to guard.
