ETA&M is such a big deal on SMU's schedule that they aren't even mentioned here. Starts with "Week 2".

I am sure its that way for most FBS teams until it turns into a big deal. Most recent was Baylor in 2017 using Liberty (when they were FCS) as a warm up game with a loss and started 0-8.

Also no I am not stating ET A&M has any shot in their two games.

Haha. I said I would take the beating. I have as much chance of taking on a MMA fighter as WT does winning a FBS national championship.

I had the honor of growing up and going to school with Brandon Slay (olympic gold medalist in wrestling from Amarillo) since junior high.

I was on the wrestling team with him for a couple of years and quickly figured out at a very young age that there are certain people you never eff with.

Fair on the name. 🙂

All things being equal, only the power 4 (with very few exceptions) are what matters in college sports.

IF they can get 2 million dollars to get their a$$ kicked then more power to them.

Heck I would take 2 million dollars to take a beating from Canelo Alvarez for 10 rounds.

Actually it’s about $2 million times better.

Maybe it will help y'all draw more than 4,000 per game as well.

This is basically the point 🙂 Hence my original jobber comment.

Yeah, “congrats on being a nobody “ means you disagree with how the system works. You’ve really become a sad dude lately. Carry on though , it’s fun to see how this gets to you. By the way, more people will read the game day tweets for the ET/ SMU and ET/Fla State games then have ever even heard of Mankato and Minnesota State.

The system you speak of, requires nobodies to scoop those paydays. Appreciate your concern over my well being, or your attempt to take a shot at me. This doesn’t get to me. You’re projecting.
Hahahaha. Of course they will! But it won’t have anything to do with ET.

As usual, you have no idea what you speak of relating to ET athletics and funding.

I'm sure I don't. And I still call b.s. on your $2 million number until you can provide a link for that.

[JakeTAMUC]

And in reality, only about the richest programs of P4 are what matters. That's maybe a dozen programs.

As for $2 million, I highly doubt that number. I would guess half of that for the two games. So for now, I'm going to call b.s. on Jake.

Great story. Not trolling them by pointing out the truth. Their role in the current landscape is jobber. And it’s very likely to remain as such.

Edit: Maybe the name part was trolling 🙂

No hate. Just disagreement. Don’t confuse the two.

By your comment its apples to oranges.

South Dakota State probably paid Augustana for their game.

Oklahoma State probably paid South Dakota State for their game.

Minnesota State would most likely glad to be North Dakota State's and Montana State's b!tch for a considerable payday.

You are trolling East Texas A&M for something that most FCS schools would do in a heartbeat.

Our student athletes are getting a better overall experience that is miles and miles better than the D2 life. Things are building in the right direction. But y’all keep on with the hate, it’s very amusing.
