Jamie Pollard on KXNO today

[drlove]

Ok so do you think him doing the I state permanent logo change is good.
Or moving the students back 8 feet in Hilton or moving the students away from the visiting team & band in football?
Hint every single team in the Big12 besides Texas Tech has the student section behind the visiting team. Only reason Tech doesn’t as of 2023, is due to renovations happening.

FWIW, CU doesn't have the students behind the visiting team.

LOL. Gotta be better than peeing in a big trough like in the old William's Arena in Mpls, aka the Barn. It's maybe just one level above peeing outside on the Gopher campus.

Hey I pissed in that trough with Fran Fraschilla one year. Greatest "celebrity" encounter of my life.

There was an article in the Cedar Rapids Gazette a couple weeks ago where Bowlsby was interviewed at some event in Iowa City. He talked about if these lawsuits go the way it's been going Olympic sports would suffer. Jason Belzer from the Oklahoma NIL said on 365 Sports on December 4th he believed if college athletes were deemed to be employees of the university that sports will be cut and Title IX wouldn't do much to be able to stop it. Loyola Marymount just recently announced the elimination of six Olympic sports (3 men and 3 women). That may just the beginning.

Probably the same event this was recorded at.

At the same time, it is a business. As long as that business relationship is good, nbd. Don't need everyone to be close personal friends with each other.

At one point, Campbell's contract also included a buyout reduction if Pollard was no longer the AD. Not sure if that still is in the contract, but regardless, I feel like that alone shows that Campbell has a lot of respect for Pollard on the business side.

LOL. I only got to pee next Patrick Reusse, the venerable old local sports sage and curmudgeon, at a Gopher Hawkeye game years ago.

I didn’t look at the new teams. That’s good to know.

 

[Cfinnerty16]

I listened to the interview. He is MUCH more toned down compared to his last one. Wendy must’ve told him to knock it off with being a jackass. This interview was actually pretty good.

 

[DesertClone1]

Hilton renovations are absolutely necessary. Hilton from a fan experience sucks. The basketball aspects are great so don’t mess with that but going to a game can be hard because the bathrooms and concessions absolutely suck. That is all ignoring that the bridge things need replaced like 10 years ago. They just aren’t safe.

You’re 100% spot on with this but you’re gonna get killed for it

 

[cyputz]

I love rubbing elbows, while peeing, with men that I've never met before.

Actually had a run in with a Puerto Vallarta local once. To see who could step back the most. It was awesome, I lost … a guy bumped into me because he had to use the stalls.

 

[Mr.G.Spot]

I could be wrong but I believe CyTown is also financed which can't look good on the financials right now. Tons of costs and no revenues in sight.

That is normal for a long-term real estate investment. Proper financing is in place for the long-term aspects of this investment.

 

[Cfinnerty16]

Ok nevermind, I just got to the blocking on Twitter part. He is getting angry & defensive about Andy saying “why don’t you use mute them instead of blocking them. You don’t need to see what they say, but they can see what you can say.”
Jamie, “It’s my decision.”

 

[jcisuclones]

This Pluto person really doesn't seem to like JP.

Dude has been having a full on meltdown this afternoon because Jamie said that in order to go into the rafters, a player must be in the school Hall of Fame, and also took him comparing us to how Kansas retires numbers as how our requirements are.

 

[Mr.G.Spot]

If the NCAA has no bite anymore, why is everyone still complying with Title 9? Or is that not an NCAA thing?

Federal Government. If you take money for research, adhere to Title IX.

 

[Mr.G.Spot]

It’s strictly a business relationship. Not much of a personal relationship between the two I’ve heard.

That is not true. In fact, very far from the truth.

Bathrooms at least on the men’s side have really weird urinals. There also seem to be stuff that is just flat broken in there. View attachment 124679

When it comes to the concessions my biggest complaint is the lack of options. There are like 3 options. You can get a brat, hot dog, or walking taco. Then you couple that with long lines and high prices. I just flat out don’t get anything because the options aren’t good. Depending on the timing of the game it means you either have to eat at weird times or get fast food on your way to Ames.

Eat before or after you get there. Only acceptable concession purchase is a Clone Cone.

Club sports will be the future for all non revenue sports in 15 years. The conferences will just be an umbrella organization for a group of athletics departments to license their events to media partners who consider them to be brand investments. These media partners will realize profit by pimping the brands and events they own the right to show, to the exclusion of the others. Players will need to stop worrying about academics and instead focus on developing their own personal brands. It will be in their best interest to consider transferring for a better deal and playing time each season. They will deservedly get 35-40% of revenues in the sports being watched but over time facilities and fan experience will suffer.

It's going to be different. It's going to be awful.

This is what I normally do but sometimes the schedule doesn't work for that.

On the topic of urinals (better than the last few pages). I was in Australia about 20 years ago, and a couple of us blokes went to the bathroom and saw a urinal like this. We stood on the tile, and pissed over the grate. Some locals walked in, looked at us all weirdly, and proceeded to stand on the grate.

Thus ends the international urinal lesson for the day.

I so hope that you are wrong, but I fear that you are likely correct.

You can disagree all u want to. Your statement is far from the truth.
