    How can the lines be long when the attendance is pa-bon?

    Yes Jordy Culotta podcast

    The size of the line has nothing to do with the accuracy of scanners.

    The two programs I have the greatest difficulty wrapping my head around are Houston and Memphis.

    Do Texas/Texas A&M and Arkansas siphon off so much oxygen the two pretty exciting cities can never attain success?

    Memphis is a sh!+hole of a city.

    Houston’s population has three major, non congruent parts…natives, transient professionals and ever evolving entry base and above workers with a mix of ethnic backgrounds.

    Turbines point about Baldwin aside, we’re probably just gonna have to disagree on this point.

    IMHO, I think the athletic program was overextended for Napier. Not saying that is good or bad, it’s just what I think.

    Largest G5 assistantant coaches pool, retention of Covid seniors, expansion of stag like we’ve never seen before.

    Yet, CBN wasn’t adept enough to realize somebody needed to do marketing? And if the university was willing to do everything else, why couldn’t he approach them about more marketing for football?

    Again, Saban learn how to dance… Literally.

    We will see if Napier neglected that skill set in two or three years at Florida.

    I think he should’ve done it here, and I think Mike needs to do it as well

    I’m not only being metaphorical when I say Mike needs to learn how to dance.

    And I think it is even more incumbent on him, given that a significant portion of the community might not be comfortable with his hiring.

    I’m telling y’all. Rotate the field 180° after the remodeling of the press box/suites. Our games would look so much more engaging.

    I think the problem with that is press boxes need to be on the camera side. I agree tho that cameras should be facing the “home” side.

    Rotate the field 180°…not the stadium. Basically creating an illusion on TV of a well attended game. Day/Night doesn’t matter.

    How can one be tired of a first year Head Coach. That’s not tired, it’s just not willing to give him a chance . . . be a man and call it what it is . . . it’s hating the hire, not tired of the coach
