The thing that people are missing is that the technical population middle of Dallas is Bush/Tollway. This moves right next to that. 80% of season ticket holders live in Dallas/Collin counties. They are going where their folks are. Good move.
The Arizona Coyotes basically died because it’s impossible to get fans to drive 40+ minutes a night for a 41-game season the way fans will suck up driving for 8 NFL games.
Somewhat different situation, but moving this far — even within the market — is very risky
There’s a lot of discourse on this app about TSA. I flew out of DFW (Dallas) yesterday, and CLT (Charlotte) today and both times it took less than three minutes. I hope this adds comfort to other passengers nervous about getting to their airport early.
So the final trade ends up being
Other Teams: Luka, Maxi, Morris, DLo, Hardy, Anthony Davis
for
Mavericks: Middleton, AJ Johnson, Branham, Badgley, Christie, 3 FRP and 3 SRP + conspiracy on Cooper Flagg
Malpractice doesn’t cover what Nico Harrison did
If Cignetti can turn IU around after years of abysmal football in one year, and win the conference title in year 2 — so can Eric Morris at OSU. And we’ve had the history of success, unlike IU.
Hit the portal hard. Use NIL.
Go Pokes.
I have been highly critical of OSU over the last few years (and rightfully so), but this — on paper — is a HOME RUN HIRE. I could not be more excited for the Eric Morris era to begin and I’m extremely bullish on the future of OSU football.
Great work from OSU here. GFP.
If Zac Robinson did not go to Oklahoma State, and you are looking at his resume without the orange tinted glasses — are you that fired up to hire him?
My guess is no.
There are plenty of other highly qualified coaches this cycle (albeit we are behind FL, Penn St, and LSU).
I’m going to choose to stay positive. After the week that OSU, as a whole, had this week, there are a lot of good things to take from this game.
We have all been critical of the administration/football team, me included, but we have turned a new page. Let’s embrace positivity.
You know who would be a great hire in my opinion? The current Memphis Head Coach, Ryan Silverfield. He went 10-3 the last 2 years and seems to be the type of coach I hope OSU would hire.
Keep your eye on him.
I hate that it had to end this way, but THANK YOU, Mike Gundy. Oklahoma State football wouldn’t be where it has gotten to without Mike. As an alum, I want to extend my sincerest gratitude for everything he did for the school and program. Ended poorly, but build the statue.
