@NCSUguy8@General_Gainey Was about to say the same. Mikey reminded me of when DJ came in vs. Duke, in his first year and had a string of iso plays vs Duke's big guy.
@jwatsonfisher I went last night. Had a good time. But tickets and parking was a giving to me. With what I've been seeing with the increased pricing and fees, the product doesn't match that cost. And that's not a shot at the players or coaches. Its a shot at college sports right now. Over price
@MichaelTracey_ Longterm, yeah it will. Not my first rodeo with our school and investors. Fundraising for a season is the easy part. Matching and exceeding those funds for future seasons is where State will always be State.
@MichaelTracey_ Dude, the fanbase is not even in alignment that this is a good idea. That alone means this will fail quickly. Boosters will get the excitement going for the first year, but after that...business as usual.
@joshwgoodson 4 is the only longterm truth. The other 3 won't be sustained past this upcoming season regardless of what he does. Our donors don't have throw away money and that's the only way any of this is sustainable.
@BudElliott3 Why are people so ready to apply NFL principles to the college game? Paying these players doesn't make them professionals. It just makes them paid amateurs. You still need college coach support. This is lazy hiring.
@joeovies I think this will more like Deion with less national fanfare. But the result will probably be the same. Short term financial backing and interest, quickly followed by declining fan interest due to bad results.
@Anthony_Russo97@LastCallwChrisC Don't care about the results. If he over delivers, the money will steadily decrease to see how much he can sqeeze with limited resources. If he under delivers, money will flat out stop. Our donors don't have throw away $ and that's what you need to compete.
@ILikeDelta9 Because we are not going to support him past this offseason. Also the fanbase is split on whether this is the right decision. A string of bad losses is gonna split us and it will turn toxic quickly. That and his kid is here and that will make it equally as bad.
@murphsturph He'll stay. You will have more money at Duke and the ability to build a program in the dark without overwhelmingly high expectations. He's done the Miami and Texas thing before. He knows. Better jobs are at private schools with resources and low expectations.
@PaperJobs He's definitely not the worst. But the feeling I get going into a game is the same as it was with those other guys you mentioned. His mere presence doesn't move the needle and never has. I know alot of things have to go right around him for him to be successful.
