    How does college athletics look in 2 to 5 years?

    At this point, I think I would support congress repealing the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 and allowing the NFL to play televised games on Saturdays during the college football season - if college football wants to be super-greedy and big business, then maybe it should be treated like a true...

    Trev Alberts vote of confidence for HC

    The $80 million is Jimbo Fisher's buyout.

    Coach Rhule really going out in a limb

    The one thing about Riley was you knew that if he was a bust, at least it would be cheap - his buyout was $6.2 million after getting fired after three seasons. IF we have to fire Rhule after three years, the buyout is going to be a lot more painful than that.

    Jimbo gone. 75 million buyout!!

    The Jimbo Fisher hire always seemed questionable to me - Jimbo clearly peaked at Florida State in 2013 - and he was definitely burned-out his last season at Florida State when they went 7-6 overall and 3-5 in the conference.

    Just a reminder that Matt Rhule was…

    I agree. I'm not going to fall for some "Emperor Has No Clothes" con like Frost boosters tried to sell for 4+ years - "He's building something really special - you just can't see it yet". Basically, I hope to see some tangible signs of progress in year two.

    $12 tickets - take your kids to the game!

    Agreed - although consistently super-low prices on the re-sale market should be a somewhat worrying sign to an Athletic Director - a sign that the days of selling out season tickets at full face amount (plus a donation) might be numbered.

    Why did Rhule pick Sims?

    My own impression of the Rhule negotiations was that Nebraska tipped its hand too obviously that they were locking 100% in on Rhule, and Rhule's agent did what any good agent would do in that situation - grabbed Nebraska by the balls and squeezed until it hurt. I'm pretty certain we had no...

    Well.... really hoped I would be eating crow right now.

    Colorado 35 Nebraska 14 (will be happy to eat crow if I'm wrong)

    Just going to throw this out there.

    3 would really suck - that would basically be beating the two payday opponents (Northern Illinois and Louisiana Tech) and probably Northwestern.

    Anyone still drinking the Rhuleaid?

    I'm pretty much in the same boat as I was the day the hire was announced - wait and see. Hope I'm wrong, but this season's pretty much looking like a write off (Minnesota is terrible) - the next two recruiting cycles will tell the tale of Rhule's tenure here.

    This team is cursed

    Agreed - "Cursed" is just a cop-out ne'er do wells tell themselves to disclaim any responsibility for their failures - "Sh*t keeps raining down on me and I don't know why".

    Honest thoughts

    We're paying Rhule $9 million/year. For that kind of money, there had better be a significant talent infusion on the roster within the first three seasons.

    OT-Favorite NFL Team

    Chiefs fan since birth due to my father. Never thought I'd see a dynasty run like they are enjoying now.

    OT: Is Budweiser really losing money?

    Cheap beer has its purposes. There's been many a hot day when I'm doing all day yard work, where I easily downed six cans of ice-cold cheap beer throughout the day.
