You mean you don’t want to see our punter kneel down a snap 14 yards behind the LOS?

Yeah, we could've done without that. Just a bit, lol... Though if Crimmins was Blake Hayes he would've just scooped that up and run for a first down.

And we didn’t spend that… crazy. How many games is a good kicker worth? lol. That’s crazy!

Like 4 schools would spend that kind of money on a kicker.....

I’d much rather spend money on an elite kicker than a backup DB or OL. Like why even mess around with iffy kickers. How many games is Christian Martin worth? Literally none.

Wasn't the big Edge guy from FSU visiting today?

No I think it’s the guy from UT Martin

Let's hope we have interest here. Coach B would have to bring a couple of more bags, Or just back the truck up.

I was told $300k is what Olano left for.

OMG! Look who's #1! Can we be ranked ahead of Indiana when this is all said and done? I know rankings don't necessarily translate to on field success, but can we just beat Indiana in the rankings at least?

I know zero about this dude but a long of 41 yards seems rather unimpressive.

agree

you gotta hit them up to 50yds

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

for a specific player at a position of need, I do not think we have to worry about the bank account

that said , there is a structure they are trying to adhere to . players talk

Looking at last year the transfer portal rankings were a decent indicator of a team being good. 10 of the CFP teams were in the top 25

Really need an NIL equivalent of Football Game Manager to help us understand this new world. Let that guy spend 400k on a kicker and see the rest of the roster

How many wins is a backup OL lineman from Colorado state worth in Vegas? Legit nothing. An elite kicker? At least .5 wins if not more. Easily worth 400K +.

Knowing A&M though they might’ve spent a million

I hope the kid got a big ol ... I really do!!!

 

[kmunt09]

This is certainly a year in which I would LOVE to attend a spring game. Lots to learn. Preparing myself for disappointment based on last year, but it doesn't hurt to dream!

 

[joeybcrazy13]

Simple math if I got a 100 guys and I pay them 100thousand each ...I've spent 10mil

 

[zentrails]

No mention of Houser in their list of "Top 20".
He must be under the radar.

It sounds like Mizzou was Blind sided by this decision by Wilson.
