Serious question. Aside from games we play in, how many games have you seen involving Northern Illinois, Kent State, Louisiana, Western Kentucky, Miami of Ohio, Central Michigan, Fresno State, Utah State, Georgia, State, Texas State, Old Dominion, San Jose State, Western Michigan...
Unless MEMPHIS STATE is playing --I don't watch any games unless I am somewhere where it is on---that includes any of the so-called power 5------if I have a bet on ANY GAME power 5 or not ---I may tune in late if the bet is in question ----I hope that answers your question
This is a great post on so many levels.
From the point of view of competitiveness, you are admitting that you know nothing, literally nothing about which teams are good and bad, which are deserving or undeserving. You don't see any of them play.
From the point of view of being a consumer, you aren't one. NCAA football generates $5 billion in revenue; none of it generated by you. You barely go to games, you don't want to spend more than a few dollars on tickets and you don't watch any of the games on tv. People that pay the money, whether they are part of the networks or fans, should have some say in it. You aren't a college football fan.
Last but not least, You won't even watch any of the playoff games if we aren't involved, and only then, will you watch only the game(s) we play in. If we aren't involved you won't watch.
So the bottom line, is that you are free to think and post what you want, but on a scale of 1-10 with a 10 being someone who spends a lot of money on tickets, and watches all of the games on tv, including those that they aren't a fan of, you are a 1. You probably spend less than $100/year and don't watch any games on tv.
I am a 1 on 10 when it comes to horse racing. I'll usually watch the Kentucky Derby and might watch the last leg if the same horse has won the first 3. I would feel stupid if I was ever in a position where I felt somehow entitled to tell people how it should be run, and I would feel ridiculous if I felt entitled to anything in any way.
Without doing it on purpose, you explained to everyone in black and white, that your opinion is worth zero. That isn't me saying it, it is you saying it about yourself.
Like I have repeatedly stated to you --I have had season tickets for years regardless of price---if I am someplace/somewhere and they have a game on I watch it --if I have a bet on a game I sometimes tune in--------as far as college football/basketball/sports is concerned I am getting less and less interested every year---the system is rigged/skewed against the LIL OLE MEMPHIS' of the world----not to mention their liberal woke agenda--as far as the so-called power 5 or sec is concerned ---unless I have $$ riding--I couldn't care less
As far as my knowledge or credibility of sports --I knew Tubby Smith didn't contact the university first--I knew who the back-up QB was--I knew we were not #2 on everybodys list--I knew we would not build an OCS---I knew the big12 didn't tell us to build an OCS--I knew we would have a 50K+ seat stadium to play in ..and I knew as soon as the announcement was made that no OCS--that the same ones that said we needed one to get in the BIG12--would flipflop and now say we are now in because of the new rebuilt stadium ..etc etc on and on-------very very few TIGER games I have missed since 1975----how about you ? how many have you attended ? ----when it comes to all things tigers ----Highland 100 for years/Rebounders for years/Press for years ----my predictions haven't missed--what about yours ? There may be some out there that know more about the TIGERS or sports than I do ---but you are not one of them -----
In regards to your posts---even though you are rarely correct on anything TIGERS --like I have repeatedly stated--I enjoy your posts--you put a lot of time and effort in them--I enjoy reading your opinions ---I actually bet opposite if I can find a line--BTW who do you think is gonna win the Met/Giant game tonight
As for my opinion--admittedly -that and 3$ might get you a cup of coffee
Skate all you want and make up whatever fantasy you want on the fly to cover up not knowing anything and constantly being wrong.
Aside from all that, everyone involved in this has stated variations on 38,000 - 44,000 and they used Colorado State as the model at 41,000. It is all there documented in articles and videos.
There isn't $300 million to build a stadium that you are the only person on the planet to describe as Mickey Mouse and rinky dink. Nobody else involved has built a 50,000 seat stadium, including Baylor. Baylor was selling out their old 45,000 seat stadium and still stayed at 45,000 for the new one, which is anything but Mickey Mouse and rinky dink.
You are entitled to have your opinion, but YOU describe yourself as someone who spends no money, doesn't want to spend more money, and doesn't watch any games not involving us. There is a reason you and most of us have never seen Northern Illinois, Kent State, Louisiana, Western Kentucky, Miami of Ohio, Central Michigan, Fresno State, Utah State, Georgia, State, Texas State, Old Dominion, San Jose State, or Western Michigan play...even though all of their games are televised somewhere.
Mediocre to awful teams that you and most others have never seen in their lives and have no intention of ever seeing in their lives, belong in the playoff? 4 teams from G5 conferences "deserve" to be in but only 1 team from the ACC and PAC 12 most seasons? That is hilarious.
