I wonder why we aren’t being more creative raising funds since we are way behind the curve. The Bearkats lack a large outside collective. Almost all money is generated in-house. A lot of that is being creative with stipends and awards that are allowed within NCAA rules, generating the money to pay for them via avenues like an auction for fans. Barnes spearheaded an event this summer that featured 25 in-demand items, including things like all-access passes to away games. Fans shadowed the team every step of the way during tips to Rice and Texas State; a few thousand dollars raised that can be funneled toward retention.

And of course: a/s/l?

Again, the pAc was not offering AAC schools to pay their full buyout like they did the MWC schools. Why take that deal? So if we knew that was the case then glad we didn’t drag it out. It would have been a no-brainer to pass.

Hey if there is a real relegation system, I could get behind it.

Those four stayed because the PaC didn’t pay the conference buyouts. That’s it.

Yes. 2017, 2018, and a bit of 2022. Lots of wins against teams we should beat and very few (none?) against solid teams and/or big games. So far, we were completely blown out in the most significant game of the year. I certainly hope it doesn’t happen again, but the heart of the schedule - especially versus Army - has that potential. Let’s see if this defense has started to really turn around or if the recent results are due to subpar opponents. The defense, as we all know, will determine the season.

What’s a newspaper?

a/s/l?

Good win, happy for the team. Would not expected this outcome after that terrible start. As the great @MeanGreenWithEnvy said “This is the most un 4-1 team I could imagine for this season. They’re mercurial.” Perfectly sums up how I think about this team. My best guess is that we will beat the weaker teams on the schedule but we make too many mistakes to beat the better teams in the conference. Could easily end up 8-4 and then end up losing a bowl game to a strong opponent. (wait a sec…that sounds really familiar…)

Decouple the score from the stats for a moment. 5 yrds a rush isn’t good defense. Morris was not terribly efficient for half of the game and much of that was due to the OL not protecting him. Running game was not good. Still way too many penalties to be a contender. Not trying to poop on the win but objectivity isn’t a bad thing.

I think we should pull all starters on both sides of the ball. We never do but we should. Not worth the rush at this point.

Because our offense has been inconsistent and the running game was almost nonexistent. That means the defense had to be perfect to keep us in the game. It wasn’t but it got lucky enough with an inferior opponent. ST was a huge help.

No idea why we didn’t apply pressure on that last punt. Ended up with it on the 1.

Hard to argue based on points. More worried about what it means against quality opponents. Tulsa is shit.
