What is going on?! Is my son getting a bat after all?

Outside of the all important in-person interviews with leffew and his handlers, what does the “hard work” look like once the player leaves campus? Is it texting/zoom/FaceTime and a lot of meetings with donors?

Lifeguard insurance will be too expensive after the Crown Reef lawsuits.

Because I believe they had no reason to go soft at the initial point of attack.

That’s different from getting bullied at the point of attack which is our concern.

My concerns are with how they got pushed around in the spring game. Usually defense is ahead early.

The ceiling might be dependent on finding DTs that can stop the run.

I pledged $60. I’ll have to tell my son Dick’s sold out of baseball bats and he’ll have to borrow.

Probably more like receiving votes. Certainly better than we have been but this is just clearing the bar. If making the tournament is all that matters and seed positioning doesn’t factor in to red then so be it, but I’d like to see us gun for protected seeds.

I agree with multicolor, but other than a couple areas we aren’t doing that.

Was there a study that showed blue was easier on the eyes than silver? I think too much is being made of the impact, unless we’re all closet vampires.

To mitigate any spacing issues, guessing that could be an additional fold out between the legs.

I think missing the NCAA tournament 3 consecutive years should make us pretty desperate.

I think it’s likely we’ll face better OLs from at least 4-5 teams. Didn’t someone say the defense is usually ahead of the offense at this point?

Talking about big needs... we need a Perry's ice cream in the upper concourse. I cannot believe in 2024 we still have to go down to the lower concourse if we want ice cream.

Would've been nice if they advertised this.

Better question is - are these seats more comfortable than the portable chairbacks that we used to slide on top of the metal bleachers? And if not, can we still use those portable chairbacks?

Hyperbole… or is it?

That was my one concern - hard to read too much into it though

Kind of like my MIL. Not everything you think or feel needs to be said aloud.

If I get up there at 6 will the west lot still have open spots?

after 10 years of wandering the desert I do not care how we make the tournament next year - just find a way. If that means we borrow from the federal reserve or rob banks to pay these kids just do it.

Will west lot fill up for this game or can we expect to find open spots? How much should we expect to pay?

Kids under 21 allowed?

Then draft the contract with protections and out clauses that both parties are satisfied with.

Will all dome gates be open? If not which ones?

Guy in the green pajamas is my next guess to hit the portal.

There’s only 2 revenue sports. You can figure out which one has been dragging us down.

Me and 50 of my friends donating $100 is not going to move the needle. Need to harpoon the whales.. at least until NY passes the same VA law.

agreed. if we can get kids to sign multi-year contracts, a lot of the angst will go away. The biggest issue isn't them getting paid, it's their total freedom to jump ship for any reason.

Likewise will there be concessions in the dome?

Dangerfield?

Didn’t turn out too well for Mrs Corleone, did it?

this time Fran will make sure it’s retractable and recruit the Amish to build it union-free.

Instead of a rose, you get a bag.

Instead of announcing verbal “commitments” they should say they are officially dating a school. Make it into Hollywood fare with anticipated breakups etc.

let’s hope not. It cost $78M.

I’d expect there to be a loose correlation between program revenue and NIL, by sheer fact that ticket revenue is a good indicator of fan support. And I’d guess SU is underperforming based on that metric.

Having 1 or 2 big donors in the fold can make ALL the difference. See St Johns. What is the current plan to find some more white whales for Red? I would have expected football to have a much harder time with NIL given its futility over the past 20 years... so it's quite depressing to see...

well, yeah, if they go far enough down their list, they'll find a warm body.

If someone paid you $1M, you'd play for the Hoyas, too. let's be real. You can still fly home on weekends.

Problem is, if we stick with that high-and-mighty attitude we'll end up with James Theus.

I hope I'm wrong, but so far all we're doing is speculating. The other poster nailed it: if another team trying to land Leffew hired his coach we'd be screaming bloody murder.

Everyone agrees that it would be stupid. Just because it would be stupid, however, doesn't mean it should be ruled out. Maybe the NIL situation is more dire than they want to admit and they see this as a way to save some money short-term. If that's the case Red is certainly not going to...

I got roasted for saying it was too much of a coincidence.

24 hour ban for referencing the newer films.

So... tailgating in 110 degree heat. What's the plan? Maybe cold cuts?

Then either the basketball-only donors are not as well-to-do as the football-onlies... OR... maybe Red's vision is not pulling them in the way HCFB is. And that would be the bigger issue.

And I was crucified for saying FB will help us with this kid.

How about let’s just enjoy the summer. Once the first game hits… it sure as hell won’t be as tranquil as this one way or another.
