Appears Sark is overseeing the creation of our own "process" with how things are operating from the recruiting weekend snapshot.  It really is incredible what they have going on.

Wow. Sound like we really have our shit together. This really shows how schools like Texas, USC, Miami, or Ohio State will have a huge leg up in recruiting. Not many other places you can get an experience like this.

One of those cities is not like the other.

True, Miami is pretty tiny. But it has a big-city vibe.

#22907

There are obviously other locations, but they don't have traditionally important football teams.

Cal and Stanford have some advantages being in the Bay Area. 

Arizona State, Vandy, Washington, Northwestern, SMU, Houston, UTSA, BC, Minnesota, UCF, SDSU are all in big metro areas too.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED that you read his post and thought he was talking about Miami, as opposed to Columbus. Because he was fucking talking about Columbus.

Obviously he mean't Miami, Ohio... come on man.

(his initial post was sarcasm, did you have your morning coffee yet? Unless I'm giving the posters sense of humor too much credit)

OK, I gotta admit that things like this make me feel schizophrenic. One side of my brain is ecstatic because I love college football, and the Horns, and totally on board doing what we need to do to be successful. I totally get the money that needs to be sent. The other side of my brain says WTF!!! We're spending how much money on one weekend? And this is just one weekend, for one college. For a game.  Multiply that out and we're talking money that could wipe out probably any world issues you can think of. OK, social awareness over. Go Horns and BTH out of everyone.

I feel like this is a poster with a history of bad takes. And his follow up post after saying Miami was small was talking about big metro areas. So...Feeling pretty good about this one.

I think you're drastically underestimating the cost it takes to "wipe out world issues." You think world hunger goes away with 650k? Those two weekends cost like 5 javelin missiles. Ukraine wants to know why the war isn't over yet.

But multiply it by all college football teams in America. Add other sports as well. And this is just for recruiting. Factor in stadiums, travel, and the list goes on.

Your history of inability to know anything about Miami is the problem, sir. 

Ranked by population:

2. Los Angeles - 3,919,973

11. Austin - 996,147

14. Columbus - 929,492

43. Miami - 450,797

I feel like I shouldn't have to say this on a Texas football website, but you do realize that not all college football teams and programs are created equal, right? Most of them are net even at best or net negative. The other sports are almost entirely net negative, save men's hooops. Factor in stadiums, which are usually privately financed? 

Just stop it. We understood your point, but the way you made it was absurd and inaccurate. Lets not talk about this further, we're going to fuck up the thread. And by We, I mean mostly Me because I'm probably going to keep replying to you.

Many people will do whatever they can to save face. Talking about the advantages of big MSA's as key is hard to ignore. But by all means, lets let him opine about the advantages Northwestern, Rice, Penn and Occidental College have in recruiting.

Miami University is in Oxford, Ohio and it's considerably smaller than 100k. I don't think there's such a place as Miami, Ohio...?

No one believes you. Because otherwise you look even more retarded talking about the advantages of big MSA's, which you're still trying to justify. As you offered forth...check's notes...Minnesota as an example. The other option is that you knew he was talking about Columbus, but then you decided to go off on a completely unrelated tangent that actually counters to OP's point, without explicitly stating it. I mean, both choices are pretty stupid. So, you do you, buddy. We're all just here to enjoy it.

I promise I didn't make that population number up, but I can't find it again so I'll just take the L on that one at the hope of letting my bad joke die.

It's amazing how obtuse you really are. Stating Miami is a small town is clearly a joke. 

I'll explain the joke to you, but I'm still not sure if you'll get it. 

See, Miami has a really tiny population. Only 450,000 . Even though it's known to have a large metro area (over 2MM people).

So, when he said "One of these places are not like the other", he clearly meant Columbus. Everybody knew he meant Columbus, because it's a shithole more likely to have a Burning Couch Supercenter than a 4 Seasons. 

Since Columbus is the obvious choice - so obvious that even YOU were able to glean that - I made the joke that he must mean Miami as the odd one out.

It's the WASP Containment Zone of Ohio colleges. Country club vibe, really pretty girls, but not exactly diverse.

I'm aware Miami is small, sir. Listen, I considered it was a joke. And then I saw your immediate follow up post:

Talking about schools in big MSA's. So you either took the wind out of your own joke by rambling on about that shit, or it wasn't a joke in the first place. Whatever dude, this is exhausting so I'm bowing out. But I do want to legitimately thank you for inadvertently bringing to my attention that Oxford, OH is as explicitly anti-Semitic as I assume the rest of Ohio is, so much obliged.

The joke post was just a joke post.

The follow-up post was separate because it had different context. It was back on track toward the meat of the conversation - which is the big-city advantages some schools have, though it's not enough to just be in a big metro area. Which is why I originally mentioned Texas, USC, Miami and OSU.

The ones mentioned in the followup might someday be able to parlay big metro area advantages to success on the football field, but it's probably unlikely.  

I probably also forgot to mention UCLA, UNC, Cincinnati, and others.

My grandmother was born in Miami, OK.  I can confirm it is small and presents no inherent recruiting advantages.

That and it's actually a net positive for the city. They're spending that money in local businesses, tipping local wait staff. I'd argue there's probably a multiplication factor for Austin not a net negative.

 

I worked at Trulucks back in the Mack era and they did a recruiting dinner there. They paid my rent for 3 months that night
