Indeed. A saavy guy could come away with some real deals in this NIL environment. The desperation anong the stragglers during the last 3 days will be palpable.

Steak is the one thing I always like better in restaurants. The cut has a lot to do with it I am sure. I'm not cooking Snake River Farms Wagyu at home vs what you get at a steakhouse.

From AI search:

Tunmise Adeleye faced criminal charges following his arrest on February 21, 2024, at Texas State University. The charges included unlawfully carrying a weapon, evading arrest with a vehicle, reckless driving, and failure to identify. Of these, evading arrest was the only felony charge, while the others were misdemeanors. He pleaded not guilty to the failure to identify charge. There are no publicly available updates confirming the final resolution of these charges, such as convictions, dismissals, or plea agreements, as of the latest information from early 2025.

We can circle back once this game gets closer, for sure.

There are several places worth going to around the stadium which is good, better than the UH stadium.

I have heard good things about B&B, but have never been. Dating a Vegetarian usually means I don't go to steakhouses much anymore, and I feel like I can do steak better at home anyway. However, Steak 48 is probably my favorite place that I have been to. It is a bit more upscale though.

There are some good places for tacos, but not many "taco stands" that aren't like a food truck. Most are sit down restaurants. But I know of one or two that are good.

Put a picture of our rosters on the check-in counters of each Hotel. Add a 25 cent room tax to compensate the players. This equals $ 12 million NIL funds.

Yeah we will see on this one. There is a reason he played for these nothing schools and was a bench player at that for two years. And the other schools recruiting him now didn't indicate a player who made a huge leap. I think he did well in an awful conference and he will be a bench player here. Or maybe a bench player who is forced into starting because that is where we are at now with NIL.

Collusion, get enough politicians to support it and what are casinos going to say in their attack ads? Politician X wanted casinos to pay more in taxes? Support this politician instead who wants to keep casino taxes nice and low? The vast majority of voters won't shed any tears for casinos having to pay more in taxes.

Don’t take the quote literally, it’s a compliment to Adeleye. It’s similar to Romanowski on the 49ers, Broncos, Raiders. Brings a certain element, edge that can’t be taught.

Do they cross the line sometimes? Yes, but they also make your opponents pucker up and keep their heads on a swivel.

I am going to have to get your recommendations for food out there. What is worth my time? Looking primarily for Texas Steaks and a half decent taco shop.

He would know better than me but I can tell you that the steakhouse we went to B&B Butchers was awesome and relatively reasonably priced for a steakhouse. Not Capital Grille or Ruth Chris prices a notch below but tasted just as good.

H.S Ball in Louisville - second team all state. Played two years at Illinois State - bench player getting minutes in most games. Transferred to Winthrop - appears he redshirted for medical ( Ankle and Hip ) . Transferred to Texas Rio Grande - breakout year playing well averaging 12 pts 6 rebounds. Up and down three point shooter But average 42% last year. If he continues to play like last year he could be a piece for CJP. At least he's experienced but he'll be up against way more talented players.

Initially I thought the decision to stay in MWC was a mistake

But more and more I think spending 10 million dollars to leave the MWC to make possibly only 3 million more in media money would be fiscally irresponsible with more realingment on the horizon.

First three to four years you aren't making a dime you're just paying down debt.

Go dominate the MWC (hopefully) invest into the program and see how it shakes out in another 4 or 5 years

Either you're attractive enough to a power conference or whatever mega league that gets formed or you aren't. Being in the PAC won't change that.
