Re: Nebraska and Dave aranda

Baylor is a better job than Nebraska in today’s CFB ecosystem. Dave isn’t dumb. I disagree. Big10 is certainly better than the big 12 and will give more money. Although I’m sure you will argue it’ll be easier to win the big 12. Which is a good point. Booster money as well I’d assume isn’t even clos...

Re: Report of the luncheon (LONG)

I'm still focused on the big question. Bonner. I think we aren't even in this situation if Anderson isn't so G-D stubborn. It was clear well before the first half ended that the Aggies needed a QB change. We didn't need to lose the Weber State game and we didn't need to lose our fans. I understand ...
