Re: Gloria getting her audience with OSU / WSU

I would love our TV deal to have a streaming component. Not just for live games, but also have a replay library. I'm not sure how much money it would make. I have no idea what the numbers look like how many would subscribe nor do I know what production costs might be. But let's do some guessing. Let...

Re: Iowa journalist doesn’t respect Utah State

Re: Reminder on rule changes this year

Anyone know if there a rule about substitutions and timing? Like, after a sub on offense, the defense gets X amount of time to sub? When the ref stands over the center preventing a snap after the offense subs, sometimes it causes a timeout or delay of game. I've often wondered if there is a rule abo...

Re: POLL: Level of excitement

I think USU has been better at promoting excitement in the past. These coaches and AD staff only care about the football.
If they aren't going to put in any effort to sell the team, they better be incredible on the field or they'll be playing to empty seats.
