Does this thread exist if LSU is cleaning up in the portal and has their NIL program together?

Probably not.

There are plenty of teams out there that have welcomed and embraced this change. There is no denying we are seeing new levels of parity in the sport due to the portal and NIL.

A lot of these "dudes" aren't trying to build solar farms right away, but instead are trying to get an option to put a solar farm on your land sometime between now and forever. For a very small initial option fee paid to the landowner, the landowner's land is tied up forever. The "dude" then tries to sell a bundle of these farms that he has options on to a bigger investor down the road who may be the one who ultimately puts in a solar farm. The landowner doesn't get real money until a solar farm is built.

Is the land anywhere near a high transmission electric line? If not, there is no way that they won't build a solar farm there for a long time because they have no way to transmit the electricity generated without building high transmission lines (and the associated costs of building and getting right-of-ways).

Any Solar / Wind Lease is going to have an option period of 4 to 5 years. No one is signing an option that is going to tie up their land "forever."

During the option period the landowner has the right to lease their land, farm their land, or do whatever they want with it. They get paid during all of this.

"The landowner doesn't get real money until a solar farm is built." This is correct. They get paid $20-$50 an acre for an option. They get paid money while being able to use their land as normal.

Both the landowner and lease owner want to see the lease go to the operational period. That's when they both make money. It does not benefit any energy company to option to lease land with no plans on using it.

As far as transmission lines, they are being upgraded and added all over the country. They WILL actually build Solar and Wind Farms and run new lines lines to tie into existing transmission lines.

MISO, TVA, PJM, ERCOT, SPP etc all know that transmission is the one thing holding renewables back and are actively taking care of the problems. Transmission lines are the biggest ROW business currently.

Maybe you should ask the players who busted their arse all year(seniors especially) if its meaningless.

My guess is since Damone Clark and Neil Farrell opted out, it shows you how meaningless this game is. Throw in TDP too.

(I support players opting out by the way. There is a reason they don't want to risk injury in meaningless games)

Now ask those seniors and juniors who played in 2019 if this bowl game has any meaning to them?

Apparently, the Rose Bowl will be his last game before retiring. You could see the emotion in him tonight after the game that might suggest that.

Also, agreed. Very good coach.

Check out that podcast. First topic after CFB rankings. Sums it up well.

Posted this in another thread:

99% of these big head coach interviews do not take place in either the interview/interviewee's town. Mainly at neutral sites.

They take place in airports or airport hotels, which have concealed conference rooms for all kinds of meetings (mainly Atlanta, Chicago, and Dallas). Tons of places to keep anonymity.

No way you could get a candidates, president, AD, reps, etc meeting on campus or anywhere near campus without anyone seeing, especially in a small college towns.

Flight tracking is fun, but it's worthless.

They are thinking Jeff Traylor.

He was coaching high school in 2014 and does not have any coordinator experience in college.

He has UTSA 9-0 right now.

so we are just going off that one tweet with no details from one guy?


John Roberts I would say is rock solid.

If he's wrong I will edit or post a new thread.

Going ahead...

Eh, Dennis?

New thread coming soon? Rock solid?

Punishment may not fit the crime, but the point is you all will take any tweet and try to make it fit a narrative.
