    Glad the man is getting paid and we have him locked up for a bit, but damn I feel old because I remember how big of a deal it was and all the consternation when Oklahoma gave Stoops a 2 million dollar salary in 2001.

    I can only imagine a scenario in which I can go home and tell my wife I got a $5 million raise.

    Yep. I thought I had arrived when I got $25K in 1980.

    Mine wouldn't even hug me. She's immediately head to her little boutiques to buy clothes.

    it is the world we live in. I think it is just not sustainable to keep growing at this rate, but my biggest concern was an 8 or 10 year contract. I feared that more than anything.

    Hah, mine would immediately be calling a contractor to tear down our shed and build her a full sized shop, and fill it with the best wood working equipment money could buy.

    I've said it for 5 or 6 years yet it keeps happening.

    As long as networks are willing to pay obscene amounts of money, it's going to continue.

    I can only imagine a scenario in which I go home and tell my wife I won $500 lottery.

    This isn’t the sort of thing we tell our wives

    If he keeps winning it will be a good ROI. (increased ticket sales, merchandizing, out of state tuition, etc.)

    Now, don't turn into Coacho Ocho and settle for 8 wins a year.

    Yeah, we have been paying Dollar General prices in a Gucci league.

    Phew that’s a lot of money. Remember when we laughed at Alabama for paying a failed NFL coach $4 million a year to cover up their inability to land RichRod? (in fairness, there was some fear behind those laughs)

    But it’s the cost of doing business these days. Glad we’re not on the fully guaranteed train, though I hope he has enough success that it doesn’t matter.
