    No. It is done by donation history. Well, it could be by donation history AND how many season tix you have.

    Anyhoo, I have 14 points, 2 Best Buy coupons, a button, and a paper clip. Probably won't make the cut.

     

    Yeah the chart Balcones posted lays it out. Lifetime gets you in the game, current level dictates how much you can get if you’re in….

    How many tickets does each team get?  20,000?  I would think that gets gobbled up before the 8000th account gets their chance, no? 

    Each account before 8000 can order up to 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 tickets depending on their current gift.  I know not everyone will want tickets, but it seems like it would go quick. 

    I think you can only order as many seats as you have in DKR, although I’m sure for suite/club folks they relax that….

    They’ll have the 5th most cap space in 2024 at $73M. However, they signed a lot of guys, including many solid contributors, to 1 year contracts so they’ll have to pay up to re-sign or replace. 

    Yep, there are some key pieces (Cashman, Greenard, Fant, possibly Noah Brown and/or Shultz) that would be good to bring back. None of them individually would set the market by any means, but it’ll eat into that. Still enough to bring on at least one and probably two top-tier starters, ideally in the defensive front 7.

    ...one was a very young exec. at ABC I think...Beano Cook came up with the idea to move the 1969 Texas-Arkansas game to the first weekend of December, for a national TV audience.  Colege football on TV was evidently in its formative years and a national TV game was probably very uncommon.  Hey

    Armybrat, is that more or less correct? I was in K.  Both Horns and Hogs held up their end of the deal and we had the game of the century.  

     

    Other man is yet to be named..Is it CDC who decided to schedule Alabama during the 23 season?  Without that victory we are nowhere near the CFP.

    Kudos to whoever gets credit for scheduling 'bama.  Now lets go whoop some Wash.

     

     

     

    Beano was ABCs ‘college football guru’ in 1969 but I don’t think he was an exec. He felt strongly about that happening, and Roone Arledge (the god of sports broadcasting at that time) definitely leaned on him for advice.

    My favorite Beano story: when he was SID at Pittsburgh, he got a call early in August from a woman who wanted “the roster for every Pitt player, even the walkons”. Beano responded that a lot of them were just tackling dummies and wouldn’t she rather wait until September for the final roster? She told no, because she “wanted to sleep with everyone on the Pitt team.”

    Beno’s (alleged) response: “OK then; in alphabetical order, ‘Cook, Beano’”…

    Helm's trajectory at this point is a well-rounded TE that plays for a while in the NFL. I'm not talking elite at anything, or reaching All SEC or the early rounds of the draft, but he looks like a guy that is developing into a quality overall TE. 

    Yeah and whoever that blonde was at the Bama tailgate with her Gunnar button on was total smoke…

    Is this for real? We watch most of the games that are on OTA on OTA at the tailgate. 4k uncompressed. Highest possible quality you can get is from OTA - how do none of you own a $15 thing that is so awesome. 

    you can go get one at Best Buy, Walmart, anywhere that sells tvs really. If you are someone who can’t be bothered to go into a store you can get one from anywhere on the internet.

    seems to only work on desktop. 

    You have to make sure that the TV you buy has an ATSC 3.0 tuner to pick up true 4K OTA. Plenty of new TVs can produce 4K resolution via the HDMI connection, but a lot of them still have ATSC 1.0, so you won’t get any better than 1080p OTA…
