If I had the cash, I'd become a major donor to the University of Tulsa, completely redo the stadium, make them change the nickname and mascot, invest in NIL like SMU style, and pay a damn good coach a bunch of money to make them regular winners of the AAC and maybe participants in the new playoffs. I bet I could get them close to the 30,000 capacity for a bunch of games a year. They've tried all sorts of campaigns that don't really pan out, I'd invest enough money to make it work.

Played summer league basketball with a guy who was being recruited pretty heavily. Not a top 100 guy or anything like that, but he had offers from half of the SWC. Smart too, and most of thought he would end up at Rice or an Ivy. He took a visit to Pepperdine and shut it down.

November 2, 20232 yr He was dressed exactly the same way when Charlotte came to play SMU in Dallas. Also, Biff Poggi can't be his real name can it? That's gotta be the most made up Star Wars fan fiction name ever.

Nah, I'm sure it's the former hedge fund manager who told personal stories about his family to unite the offensive coaching staff. Quote He’s a guy even the most die-hard fans probably wouldn’t recognize. His name is Biff. He’s 62, and he may be the most interesting man in coaching right now.

November 2, 20232 yr Biff can have Charlotte and you can have Tulsa. I'd take my billions and restart the Pepperdine program. Now that is a campus to rule. TSRH ^^ I used to know a guy who attended Pepperdine for two semesters. The dorms are quite literally within easy walking distance of Malibu beach and if you didn't get up early to surf everyone else banging their boards on the hallway walls would wake your ass up. Kinda like TCU (if TCU was in Malibu and not south FW) in the females to males ratio as well, and even wealthier parents.
November 2, 20232 yr Also, Biff Poggi can't be his real name can it? That's gotta be the most made up Star Wars fan fiction name ever. Francis Xavier "Biff" PoggiMakes $500k/yr and gives it all back so his assistants can make more money.

I'm kind of surprised Pepperdine has never really been able to recapture it's basketball success from the 80s/90s. Talent-rich location, decent conference and probably the best campus in the country. Feel like they could roll with the right coach.

That considered: Actually I am greatly enjoying this thread and hope it gets back on track. And really, after the Farentz kid got fired, Poggi has the best potential for lulz in the coming weeks. His story is just so strange and endearing and weird and obnoxious, all wrapped into one (fat) package.
November 2, 20232 yr Wunna my all-time favorite occasional Champagne BrunchTM ladies was a Pepperdine grad. Yes, her family was filthy rich. Yes, she put it on her Daddy's card.
November 5, 20232 yr I should trademark the phrase "Poggi Style" in case this dude becomes the next Saban.

I think Sam Houston would be a good school to try this out on, but apparently Charlotte already has taken the bait and we just need to convince them that we could do it better. I think in the world of NIL there is gold in them thar hills. If you are a billionare who can't buy a major league franchise it seems like this kind of thing would be an awesome and amazing ego boost. I feel like a 50M investment could have Sam Houston kicking UH ass in 5 years or something if the right people did it. God damn i love surly
November 17, 20232 yr Author Biff and Charlotte took Memphis to OT and lost this past weekend. They stand at 3-7 and play Rice (4-6) and South Florida (5-5) to close out the season. Two teams fighting for bowl eligibility and Biff stands in their way. Rice has to beat the fighting Biff Poggis and then the flaming Tom Hermans to get to 6-6.
November 17, 20232 yr Author Biff Poggi at ATM would be too much for me to take. I think I would bust a blood vessel from laughter.

November 17, 20232 yr https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Moglia he is not the first rich guy to do this Joe Moglia formerly of TD Ameritrade did it in the other Carolina at The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers and was pretty damn good especially for a program that was moving to D1-A he was 10-2 in their first D1-A season, but had some health issues and had to step down....he came back after a year, but in a rare situation put his ego aside and stepped down, flipped them $15 million for a practice facility and Jamey Chadwell took over and did really well too

November 29, 20232 yr Holy Shit... Spoiler After resigning from Deion Sanders staff at Colorado earlier this week, sources tell FootballScoop that Tim Brewster is expected to land a new coaching opportunity. Over the ensuing last few days the 63-year old college coaching veteran Tim Brewster weighed a few different options to stay in coaching, and sources share that he has decided to join the staff in Charlotte with Biff Poggi.
