Yeah, I really miss Thom. We talked nearly everyday. I was a receptive ear for him to talk about his health issues. Plus hours a week about WT. He was my conduit. He knew everybody. He had a way about him. He was able to approach and talk with the young players. Befriend them. Make them feel comfortable. He was good with small talk. I wish I had that knack.

Back is horrible, middle back. Had to cancel our cruise. Should be in Grand Cayman today. I get a sedation MRI next Tuesday. They better put me out good. I can't lay flat. Excrutiating pain. Stupid pain is non stop and varies from a 5 to a 10. 5 weeks now. Hopefully the MRI can find out what's wrong. Gonna need a wheelchair for the first game.

Weird that they said they would be finished on time and they are going to be finished on time...I wonder what % of time that actually happens in major construction projects like this.

Hope you get the back issues squared away and can get some relief. Having back pain/troubles is miserable and mine have never been as bad as you describe.

At least on some of the ones that I finance. Contractors can be on a very different planet and fail to grasp the process.

So from what I can see on the webcam...it looks like they just have to finish the scoreboard and then will need to finish the signage on the press box. Beyond that I bet the rest of the sod is being laid today. Wish I could see the inside of the press box, it looks good from pictures I've seen

Does anyone have a link to the tailgating guidelines? I've scoured both wtamu.edu and gobuffsgo.com, but can't find anything other than a Parking Map.

I will add that just because a kid doesn't return does not mean the coaching staff is to blame. Based on the massive cuts last year and the few sound bites I have heard from Hughes he appears to run a tight program. If that is reality, some of these kids may have done things that caused the team to leave them (behavior/grades/lack of interest). To be clear, I am not trying to blame any one kid for an infraction without proof; just pointing out that you also can't blame the coach without proof for any one student's exit.
Secondly, how many who received decent playing time also left? Just thinking out loud, with so few players remaining I imagine one recruiting pitch was immediate playing time. If a kid signed wanting to play and lost a competition for the rotation that could also facilitate an exit.
I absolutely DO NOT agree with signing so many players. It is NOT in the best interest of the student-athlete. It ONLY serves in the best interest of the HC & his staff. This is why the NFL has a players union. Student-athletes need better rules to look out for what's best for them. It should be a WIN-WIN for both the student-athlete & the program.
I believe all levels of NCAA should have 60-70 active players MAXIMUM, and maybe another 20-25 tops, in reserve (RS), trying to make the team. So never more that 85-95 including RS.
