Gebbia left the day after being told he lost out to Adrian Martinez. Now we have a former walkon who earned a scholarship and a true freshman walkon as the only QB's on the team.

I heard that list yesterday. Was really surprised to see them over Texas, Alabama, OSU and Michigan. What is it that they have that creates that much value? Texas has the TV contract, OSU/Mich get propped up by the Big10 network and their massive fan bases.

The guy from Mississippi giving linguistics and pronunciation lessons on the Hawaiian language just now on the Paul Finebaum show completely made my day.

It's been widely reported that the Aggies closed the gap with the cross-state rival Longhorns because of a vast increase in contributions. And indeed, from 2014 through the 2016-17 season, the Texas A&M athletic departmentearned $260 million in contributions, nearly double what any other school made in that time.For reference, in those years, Texas had total athletic contributions of $123 million; Florida, which ranks second in the category, totaled contributions of $138 million. Texas A&M, meanwhile, allocated $119 million of its total contributions just to the football team.

Anyone see the Dr Pepper commercial? Dad says Soccer is a gateway sport, first you start watching Soccer and next you'll be watching Lacrosse.

Jeff Thomas is unreal.
Especially considering he has to deal with Rosier as his QB.
