Ever been to a minor league baseball game? Lots of fun. Maybe it’s the future and we need to embrace it and over that same type of crazy game environment? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Btw, I completely missed this but Darden is now returning kicks for the Seahawks.

Ok

Can’t imagine he wants to stay at the G5 level.

Seriously? Did you see how ineffective all the transfers were this year? Some lost their starting jobs. Do you think freshman all-American centers grow on trees? Geez, something about da Nile not just being a river.

Might be the biggest loss so far.

That was this AD’s decision…

Probably still would not make us competitive.

He was arguably the most reliable receiver. Only viable TE on the roster.

Guess one of our experienced backup QBs will start the bowl game…oh wait…

As I said elsewhere, if they are brining in the new DC now there is great value in this or any bowl game. Cassity can come in and start installing his system, and in doing so evaluate the defensive coaching staff and current players. This will give him a head start on knowing who he needs bring in. Only S&C coaches can work with the players in the period between the end of the season and start of spring practices. If NT does this right, it is a huge opportunity to start improving the defense. Maybe that doesn’t change your mind on attending but it should on why we should play it.

Explains their attendance reporting.

Joe, I seem to recall there were exactly the same number of eligible teams as bowl slots.

It’s funny that we have people complaining about trolls who them engage with them (which is what they want and why they are here) and people in a thread bringing up SMUt (completely off topic) and them wonder why trolls from other schools keep coming to our board. There is an Archer meme for this…

Some would be correct. #sadpanda Definitely. I cannot argue with that. Was really just commenting on the sad state of our defensive team/recruiting that we need so much help after two seasons.

We hope he would do so. That Iowa St pipeline never opened up and the one guy well-versed in the system that came over couldn’t get on the field. That being said, you make a valid point.

Totally agree, but we fans weren’t actively hoping for the “lower level” players to be our saviors the way we are talking about SHSU defensive players. Excellent point and kudos for bringing the stats! I think the point of leaving the conference was to be able to recruit better players than the conference we left, n’est pas? It has been two years and we are hoping the hapless CUSA will provide for us. It’s a little sad.

Almost a month of player evaluation? Installing the 4-2-5 now instead in spring? Remember coaches can’t work directly with the team outside of the official practice schedule during the offseason, only the S&C team. These next few weeks as the team prepares for its bowl would help him figure out who should stay and at which positions he most urgently needs to upgrade or add depth.

Isn’t a little sad we are praying for defensive help from CUSA?

Well that would be poor negotiating on the part of our AD.
