I just drove by one of those Florida high schools today lol. West Orange HS is the old money school in town where they recruit and register kids under fake addresses. Evans HS is in the part of Orlando you wouldn’t even want to visit during the day. Different, but both fit Sac.

don’t tease me with the bonfire! That used to be so much fun. Pies might be hard to schedule the labor at this point. Pizza and cookies are achievable though. For hot beverages the catering department has these industrial brewers that take liquid coffee or chocolate concentrate and can fill about 5 gallons per minute. That was my campus job back in the day, sometimes getting a couple hundred gallons of (not great) coffee cranking in the morning.

one time, we had a bust for an employee appreciation event so we ran to Costco for pizza, churros, and water for 500. They loaded on pallets and forked it into the truck without blinking lol.

if someone ordered 460 pizzas, that is mad rewards points, they’d be eating free themselves for a year lol. Given the cold temps, if they aren’t concerned about concession revenue they could offer free hot chocolate, hot coffee, and DC late nite cookies. Those are all cheap and easy to execute in bulk quantity in the time available.

is this what “…or bust” looks like in the Dr Wood reach-around? Maybe they can secure Jergens and Kleenex as sponsors.

agreed, it shouldn’t be hard to have a functional YouTube press conference. Disappointing to hear stadium audio is still an issue. It’s been pushing 20 years and still not solved?

I looked up the communications team. Most of the team are new within the last year or two. Looking up state pay, idk if the pay is competitive with other universities but it is not competitive with corporate internal/external communications. May be hard to retain talent and no in-house pool to tap since we don’t offer sports admin, marketing, or journalism majors.

maybe someone can spill some peppermint schnapps into the hot chocolate. Festive and warms the soul. It helped in the infamous Eastern Washington fog game.

dude who created pom

I mistakenly read that with an “rn” in it, but I guess POM is a pomegranate juice company?

if we want a dating analogy—it’s like telling your main girl, who might be average looking but sweet and a good cook, that it’s exclusive while Uncle Wingman from down the block is still running your Tinder profile trying to find you some SEC motorboat side action, and then falling for it when the stripper says she loves you.

If someone enters the portal but doesn’t end up transferring, does it cause weird feelings with teammates about commitment or is everyone all in on business is just business?

I wasn’t suggesting anyone specific on our team. More thinking the broader football market.

Not accusing anyone specifically, but would be interesting to run some broad stats on out-for-the-rest of-the-season injuries and transfer portal cash grabs to see if there is a correlation. Kind of like how NFL prospects refuse to play in bowl games.

exactly. If I recall, the premise of the House case was really that if an individual who happened to be an athlete wanted to make YouTube music video, should they be able to monetize it. What we have here is something so far removed from that fundamental question. As per usual, the legislative branch was nowhere to be found, so judges legislated this. The NCAA and universities should be regulated with some cursory guardrails on the greed like power and insurance companies are. Said another way, congress should have slapped Ohio State right on the pp and said this is too corrupt even for politicians.

He’ll worry about that later. He’s currently on hold with American Airlines trying to get a refund on his Nashville tickets.

The committee chair just talked about OOC like Mercer v UC Davis being a “resume enhancer”. So yeah, seems like we got double secret credit for leading a tight game against #6

Looking forward to seeing video of the team watch party! I don’t think this was expected since they were already hawking tickets for next weekend

#8
