2016 CFB News & Notes (National)
- Thread starter Shldr2Shldr
- Start date
The ACC announced that they will play their championship game in Orlando on Dec. 3rd. For those who missed it, they announced 2 weeks ago that they are moving the game out of Charlotte for this season.
That's a huge advantage for either Miami or FSU if they get there.
On ESPN's college football talk before Countdown comes on, they played part of a Les Miles interview and a couple of their analysts were talking about his next steps. They seemed certain that he wants to keep coaching. Their opinion was that with the way he wants to play football (pound it with 3 yards and a cloud of dust), the Big Ten is the best fit and that Penn State (if they fire Franklin) would be the perfect fit.
Makes a lot of sense, actually.

Saw that. They also said Franklin's buyout was $12.5 million...Yikes!

Saw that as well. Big 10 makes some sense for him.

Barnett thinks he's found a loophole that will allow him to play after game 4 next fa), and that's why he's leaving now.
Doesn't Alabama start a run first quarterback? Man that seems like a salty move on his part, he could have ended up being they starter for the playoffs if something happened.

Interesting NY Times article about how others are rethinking in-stadium experience. If it gets students in seats I'm all for it. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/02/s...on=inside-nyt-region&WT.nav=inside-nyt-region
This is way better than the pre-game and halftime routines we see today. CU needs to look at these ideas.
CU has a DJ, has brought in local & better concessions and has student section seating at the 40 yard line.
There's nothing in there that CU isn't doing to some level. Can it be improved or taken up a notch? Sure. But it's not like CU or RG have been stuck in some 1970s mindset of how to put on a college football game.

Who is CU's DJ?
Also, Sound system quality is a very underrated aspect of the game experience, IMO.
What can we do about the halftime show? I wasn't at the Idaho State game, but last year, you could have video taped a segment from a 1940's game and there would not have been much difference.
Last year they had that DJ Bedz guy. He did the Spring Game this year. Don't know if he's doing the actual games for football & basketball in 2016-17.

Absolutely recognize RG has started to change the way things are done, but I think its important to recognize how student attendance is an arms race like facilities is. The craziest thing to me was Clemson students don't pay for football tickets (not that CU student tickets are expensive). A first hit is free idea.
Make every student pay a fee (which would be much less than student ticket prices by spreading across all students), then I have no problem with not charging students to attend games. But if CU did something like that, I'd want some sort of thing going on where there was a small fee to join C-Unit that makes them eligible for t-shirts et al and a preferred line for entering Folsom or Coors.
Concessions are a joke.
No need to get huffy! Good! I hope they go broke. Sort of.
Cone on DBT, you're a scientist? Know your numbers man!

Speaking of income revenue, Rick must be kicking himself for signing the Nike contract renewal if we start to really take off. I'm guessing a winning season would have meant a better contract. But maybe he has some provisions based on jersey sales or network coverage...
