Around SBN: Now They've Screwed Spurs, UEFA Willing To Review Rule

Tubs has tweetered that TTU will run a full page ad in the Waco Trib. It will congratulate RG3 on his Heisman. Seem a little pointless to you? It does to Tech to!

Here is the full URL: http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/text/genrel/auto_pdf/2011-12/misc_non_event/RG3-AD.pdf

Note the "miscellaneous non event" part. If we all agree on that, then... Why? Not sure what they hope to accomplish.

Might help create some good will in Waco, but seems like the money might be better spent trying to recover some of the good will lost among the Tech fan base.

We have money for tribute, but none for honor and integrity.

$27 an inch

I’m sure it’s $27 an inch to advertise in the waco Tribune so Tubs is out about $800, it’s a nice gesture. RG3 is a stand up dude and represented the big 12 with what we all hope our athletes would hope to be. I’m ok with this

I still think tubs is a weak minded individual and is a terrible motivator

Yes, a nice gesture and I get that.

They don’t just give those away in a happy meal, and that’s the point- winning the Heisman isn’t enough publicity or recognition? The Heisman is all about publicity and recognition. The guy has spectacular grades and is going to the NFL.

Outside of RG3 I suppose I have a very low opinion of Baylor and their athletes, but that’s not what is at work here.
Its a moment of “woohoo” in everybody’s life and then… they go back to what they were doing.

Theres gotta be something else at work here where the impact would be noticed.

Maybe he is trying to telegraph to the world just how much he likes the dual-threat quarterbacks?
Does he think he may be able to hire Art Briles as an OC?

Seems pointless. Congrats to rg3. He is a great player and seems to be a stand up man but what’s the point. Oh well, if that’s what it is I’m ok with it.

Get your kicks, on route 66...

I think everyone is more or less okay with it- just a little confused.

quite a non-traditional maneuver, and the motivations aren’t apparent.

If it were a bad thing there would be lots of yelling and footstomping which really hasn’t happened. (Yet?)

It's great and all... but...
  1. - it’s late, isn’t it? I mean at this point, it’s bigtime old news that RGIII won the Heisman.
  1. - Has any other school ever done this? Why would we? I honestly can’t see that we gain anything from it. So… honest question… WHY?

by battledome on Jan 21, 2012 1:01 PM CST reply actions  

I can't help but wonder....

if Tuberville would purchase a billboard for one of his own players if they received the Heisman.

Yeah, who knows?

Though, rumor has it. he once commissioned a statue in the likeness of his favorite weatherman.

by ForestFlyer on Jan 21, 2012 9:16 PM CST up reply actions  

I think that it would depend on if the player was one of “his” players.
