Home Opener against South Carolina State

[Houston Techsan]

I don'e care who we play the week after Arkansas. If we get blown out the attendance will be horrible. Probably worse because it's an FCS school no one has heard of.

This game doesn't make sense. If we are going to play a HBCU, might as well pick a team from the SWAC (UAPB, Alcorn, Mississippi Valley, etc). At least they'll bring their band.

Sure. As long as we're paying for it, why not?

It's not meant to be a cover.

Many of the employees in the Athletic Dept are young guns for hire ... mercenaries seeking to advance their careers in collegiate athletics. They maintain allegiance to their own alma mater, and will be on their way as soon as the next offer comes.

(With some notable exceptions, of course.)

I know that and know many of them. I was basically having some fun with my good friend MD.

shouldn't the goal be make a nice profit off the Arkansas game and make a profit/break even off the OOC game as well? Just thinking out loud here. If this is how TMac runs a business then maybe we can see if any of that 2008 Fed bailout money is still around too.

He basically has no respect for our common business sense, if they are willing to say we know we took it in the @ss on this deal, but it's ok because another guy set a money game up a few years ago.

He should just keep southland/swac in rotation.

This isn't rocket science.

True if we aren't going to try and get a local AAC team or MAC team.

This game will be a financial loss but the previous week matchup against Arkansas will more than cover it leaving a healthy overall gain. Need to look at the overall picture.

The overall picture is that this is a terrible deal for Tech. SC State is not worth that amt of money. Maybe half that.

I had wondered if Exes was a shill for the Department.

It doesn't bother me that s/he is. But why not just say you're the ADs spokesperson?

Wait--we let women on this site???

That sounds racist to me.

What does it cost to get a belt team to sign a one and done? If we're paying that much we should be able to secure better opponents. If SLC teams are less than 200K, why would we look anywhere else?

Well, somebody actually has some sense!!!

I still can't fathom why the AD chose a HBCU not from the regional SWAC, but the EAST COAST! Give the guy a map!
