Don't even get into budgets. Facts are facts and I can only speak for us and your numbers look right but you're missing one key factor.
Tech and the like have had 20 plus years enjoying the fat paychecks that come with BCS and now P5 status.
Don't act like they all came in from the cold with budgets, fanbases, and facilities that big.
yea lets not let facts get in the way of excuse making
Good Lord Todge are that dense that you overlooked that I agreed your numbers were right but you're overlooking the bigger picture?
(09-27-2016 05:24 PM)TodgeRodge Wrote: and what are you are ignorant of is the fact that the only ones that put your program into the cold are your fans and your program and your administration
At what point did I dispute that (or even bring that up)? Stay on task buddy I know you like to rant but come on......
(09-27-2016 05:24 PM)TodgeRodge Wrote: it was not the fault of any other team or program that your university refused to improve facilities, invest in your program, let basket ball die a quick and lasting death, fans did not show up to games, no alumni donations and on and on
Again when did I say this? You just started spouting off budget numbers
(that again I agreed were correct) My point because your hatred blinds you so much that I have to dumb it down for you is......
Those schools would not have those budgets outside of the BCS/P5.
(09-27-2016 05:24 PM)TodgeRodge Wrote: you pretend a though there has always been some massive discrepancy in earnings between teams or the fact that one team gets more money from the conference somehow prevents YOUR FANS from showing up
Man you get tunnel vision like nobody's business. Did I say that for the third time?

Agreed 1000%, If you took the time to read and checked your emotions and blind hatred you would see what I have said this much time and time again. It's why we started
putting up about a decade ago in preparation for such a move.

You just continue to display your bias and hatred here I'll stop pointing out that I never went there you did.....
(09-27-2016 05:24 PM)TodgeRodge Wrote: you ended up right where you belonged in the CUSA with a bunch of other teams that were content to not spend a lot, not ask a lot of their fans, not expect a lot of their program and that would react slowly and way too late to change and instead would plod along getting the leftover spots and then jumping up and down and demanding more once you have a winning season or two in your new leftover spot
I agree we did nothing to deserve to get into the B12 (but neither did Tech or Baylor other than having strong political ties at the right time). We stopped this line of thinking over a decade ago people like you just refuse to accept that we changed. We aren't UH 1995.
(09-27-2016 05:24 PM)TodgeRodge Wrote: try being a bit proactive instead of reactive and here is another clue try living in the real world for where your programs stands now and in the immediate past instead of in the fantasy world of excuses
Why don't you take a second from the ignorance to do a simple Google search and spend 5 minutes of research. That is exactly what we did some time ago!
(09-27-2016 05:24 PM)TodgeRodge Wrote: I mean how pathetic is it that after you take away 100% of the Big 12 money AND 100% of the academic and student side money from Big 12 programs and show them to have larger budgets still the only answer back is another excuse pretending as though somehow those Big 12 programs just lucked into a position to still have a larger budget with no conference money and no academic/student money than programs that are having all of that counted in their budget
You're looking at this after 20 years of growth and steady income. To again dumb it down for you its like telling Tech when they joined the B12 why don't they have an unsubsidized 80+ million dollar budget on day one......
(09-27-2016 05:24 PM)TodgeRodge Wrote: how pathetic is it after a comparison like that someone can't look at that and realize that it was their program, fans and administration that failed it was not other programs being "lucky" or "having all the breaks"
He dumb@$$........... I never said any of that I am not the one ignoring the bigger picture! You have a deep hatred for UH and take pleasure in trolling all things UH. We are UH 1995 and will never or should ever be more.
We should just be happy to exist in your world.
(09-27-2016 05:24 PM)TodgeRodge Wrote: this is why these programs STILL should not be P5 programs because their fans suck
Todge it's your opinion which you are entitled to but this is far from Fact!
