2008 National Champ

but for Utah, SC’s 2022 complete rebuild worked to perfection.

In truth, the only difference between what Riley and Sanders are doing is their starting point. SC had a talented roster that Riley was able to add to. Colorado had one of, if not the worst P5 roster when Sanders took over.

not to mention that huge % you are referring to is largely made up of people who are offended on behalf of someone else

if both fanbases think he’s a homer for the other school, he’s doing his job right

seems like we just had that experiment a couple of years ago. And every athletic department in the country lost a ton of money

I don’t need to ask the players their favourite type of music, it is as varied as the number of players in room. Always has been, always will be.

At the same time, Disney trying to dictate to their audience is a big reason why they are producing a lot of flops these days. So maybe it’s a good idea to produce a movie that makes ticket buyers…[Read more]

I mean, it meets the requirements for a walk up song. but so do Iron Man and Papa Was a Rolling Stone. After that it comes down to taste.

talent acquisition will always be 75-90% of the success ratio for any program and I don’t know how you do that without some contact. So I don’t think you will ever completely get away from having your staff do in-person meetings and scouting instead of just relying on HUDL’s.

If anything I think the need to properly vet recruits, whether high…[Read more]

not really much of an intro to the song.

The reason Metallica is used in so many places is because of their 1 to 2 minute instrumentals which lend themselves to the anticipation of the team coming onto the field.

I’ve always thought the dueling drummers on this one would be pretty good for the buildup but doubt the lyrics would go…[Read more]

the point of an entrance song is to bring the 55k + to a fever pitch, thus songs that appeal to that demographic

Virginia Tech is really the gold standard and Clemson’s is worth the watch also. They both have the same fan v team demographics so I’m doubtful that the choice was made per a player vote.

different role. If Johnson turns out like people are hoping he’ll be more similar to Blackmon or RJ than Bishop

less TV timeouts, shorter replay breaks

Not to mention the deals he references were partnerships whereby the schools and the networks are incentivized to maximize the short-term revenue while increasing the value of all parties. And at no point did the schools give up anything other than their ability to broadcast their games on their own.

Once people start throwing around words like…[Read more]

This is from a few years ago and is actually better than I was remembering. I thought the stadium naming rights were closer to 1 MM per at the top end.

I don’t think they’ll have a choice

I can’t think of anyone that would pay ~ 50 MM per annum (16 teams @ 3 MM per) to put their name on the conference. More likely they’d do a 10 year deal for that amount which now gets you down to 0.3 MM per team.

the problem is that naming rights packages don’t really move the needle in terms of revenue. they amount to pennies on the dollar when you compare the exposure against what the company actually pays out.

yep. there should be a blanket ban on any Larry Scott ideas

you don’t think borrowing a truck will get the job done?
