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 ...

I am as frustrated as anyone with the current season, but I'm not seeing how the local kid thing plays in as much as y'all seem to be.

We were down to NMSU, UNLV, North Dakota, and other cellar dwellers last year. I’m just s...

Play calling is a legitimate question. They were extremely reserved against UConn and had the same approach today (granted, it wouldn’t have mattered what they called). Problem with how this schedule is set up is that we’re really not going to have a good idea of how to gauge this team until the BY...

Re: Thompkins released by Bucaneers
What does clear waivers mean? Surely, I'm missing out on the nuances of the process, but this is the basic gist. Anyone is free to correct me. He's released on waivers. This means each team (I forget how it is ordered) can claim him, sort of like the draft again, with the Bucs having the last choic...

Personnel is not a concern for me. We didn't get pushed 1-3 yards off the LOS of scrimmage yesterday, we simply didn't fit gaps like we needed to.
