Mikey Williams to Sac St

I
I have been in Sac State's gym. It seats 1.012. My HS gym was better, bigger and it was 100 years old.

Apparently they are upgrading. Major additions being made. Including a new scoreboard!!!! LMFAOOOO.

"When not used for games, the courts will remain open for students for use of pickup games and intramural competitions, officials said.

Along with the configured court, the renovated building will include seating, scoreboards, and a video board."

Cignetti had the softest schedule in football and like Barry, got exposed vs talent. Against Notre Dame and Ohio State they got blown out and couldn’t control the LOS at all. Cignetti is 4-3 in Division 1 playoffs, 6-5 in D2 playoffs. 0-1 in CFP. Pretty mid once he goes up against someone with more talent.

But at least Cignetti wins on the regular, usually good for 8-10 wins. Barry is a career .500 coach that’s never beaten a top 25 team, never won a bowl game, 0-3 vs Boise State. A resume of getting exposed in big games.

Again, I thank Purdue for throwing a big bag in front of the Odoms and paid unlv, enabled us to get a better coach. We’re much better off.

But Cignetti did it, soft schedule or not. Luck of the draw? Sure, but it shows it is possible.

We are better off because of Barry. He took a program to heights that no one else could, not even a HOF coach. He at least can be a program builder. Will he take Purdue to the playoffs? Most likely not, will he take them to a competitive middle of the B10, get bowl eligible? I think he will. He did that in a tougher SEC.

You can't point to NDSU's game on ESPN2 and say, see look how many viewers!. When 95% of games on that channel had better ratings all year. ESPN and ESPN2 gets ratings by default. Everyone has it. People surfing football games on a Saturday will tune in just to see what it is on. Sports bars across the country will have it on and leave it on during football season.

I would say if SJSU and UNM was on ESPN2 then yes, it would get similar ratings.

I did mention Sam's second year, saying that they were pretty good last year.

But that doesn't change the fact that they struggled with the transition and even their year last year was in one of the worst conferences in FBS.

True, networks like full stadiums. But they like ratings better. I am sure there would be excitement if they jumped to the MW, but does that stadium stay full if they start to struggle like most teams?

Also no one is saying that UNM or SJSU should be the standard. Their situations stink and should not be the goal post. Being as good or better than the bottom of the conference doesn't mean they are worth adding.

There is a reason that the PAC made a stance to not add any FCS teams, it is because it has a big risk, and high up front cost, and is a bad look for a conference that is trying to be at the top of G5. FCS teams don't join good conferences, they join the bottom and work their way up.m

That's mostly right for ESPN. But there were a few turkeys on ESPN2. Its a broad range. I did awhile ago when I was trying to compile viewing averages based on public data. I could go back and run North Texas too.

Just for quick references, green is ESPN, red is ESPN2

We don’t know if they are as good because they haven’t played. In the long run they both have a chance to be better but game one next season it is unlikely either is as good.

Did Correa play much, I remember Powell, McDuffie and of course Woodard with Correa playing sparingly, that’s why I said just as good.

None of them are that experienced!

Cignetti rode a bunch of JMU players to the playoffs.

Remember Barry also took his fair share of Arkansas players with him to UNLV.

It sucks, but part of business. I am not going to villainize Barry, at least not yet. He is playing the game. He did that here and led us to maybe the best 2 year stretch in history and his success got us Mullen who would not be here if Barry didn't show it was possible here.

Not exactly the same we aren’t in a position to “take” players from Arkansas. They were leaving anyway or they were on the bench going nowhere and we promised them PT. That isn’t the same as Correa.
