  1. It hasn’t been quick. It’s always been unbalanced and about spending the most money to win. The difference is that now we’re not building facilities or spending on coaches, it’s direct players out in the open. Bama and the SEC have been the most egregious cheaters by illicitly spending on players for the past 20 years. So it’s quite ironic to see them leading this discussion. They know they can’t compete with truly big money if direct pay to players is allowed legally. Schools have consciously bailed on this system in the past. Ivy leagues and U of Chicago come to mind. At the end of the day the goal should be to advance the education of the population of people and region each school serves. If Congress has to get involved, I hope they understand that as priority number one. That’s the part Saban gets right. Unfortunately he’s also been the most visible figure on the side using football to make big money for TV.
  2. Yeah, probably went too far with that one. But in general I’m becoming more of a draft a QB every couple of years unless you have a Brady, Mahomes, Peyton type of guy. Keeps you from over spending on a mediocre QB and allows you to invest more in other parts of the team/roster. Once you find the guy, by all means roll out the vault to keep him. Same philosophy should apply to college coaches.
  3. I don’t mean to crap on a decent season. So I’ll stop after this post. I’ll take this season over the years of Benford and Trilli…but it’s not up to the JJ and Mac years and that is concerning to me. I don’t want to start slipping and I’m genuinely rooting for Hodge. But he doesn’t get 5 years to prove it. Good coaches win quick. Time for him to step up and prove he’s got it NEXT YEAR.
  4. We went 1-6 against the CUSA Tagalongs this season. Fact is we were worse. We beat up on the supposed “better AAC.” Fact is the Tagalongs made this a better conference. Obviously Houston is a huge loss…but we’re better than what was left.
  5. For me, we were technically still very well coached. However, our roster was not built to win. Hodge didn’t step out of McCasland’s shadow with this season’s effort. Got to be better at roster building. Staff needs help too.
  6. Alright Edwards, this offseason slow down on the cross over step back three. Next season you’re gonna be a juggernaut if you can just stay in control on that shot. Hodge: Get us some bigs. We’re freaking unbalanced.
  7. We need some guys who can score inside and draw fouls. We got some calls tonight but those refs sucked and called every little thing, which mostly benefited FAU. When we’ve played teams that can get to the line and the refs are playing along we’re deficient and struggle to keep pace.
  8. Refs have made this unwatchable basketball. These are two good teams. Get out of the way and stop ruining the game!
  9. I've grown tired of "realignment" talk. It's the most overblown game of musical chairs ever. The rich and power hungry football schools just continue to consolidate and all of us peasants keep trying to kill each other for the chance to join them....but there are no new seats added. Just removed.
  10. I had the game on in the background and missed this somehow. Must have left the room when this was going on. Anyways, I just kept marveling at how engaged their crowd was DEEP into the second half of a game where they were never really within 20 points of Texas. They got their doors blown off but that crowd stayed until the end and cheered loudly the whole time (I finally turned it off with 3 minutes or so left, so not sure how many made it to the bitter end)....but WOW. I have to say I was impressed with that aspect. There are not many schools or fanbases that would have provided that kind of support. Definitely not Texas fans if the roles were reversed and the game was in Austin...and definitely not here in Denton.
  11. It’s year one, and he hasn’t Benford the situation yet…so No. But watching Grant at Tech sure makes me wish he was still here. That guy is the whole package. Ross still has some growing to do to get to that level.
  12. From where I sit, TxSt was worse than us heading into the offseason before last year. Then they brought in 50 transfers and had a pretty decent year. A better year than we had? Yep, absolutely. Now fast forward to this year and we are the ones bringing in 50+ new players and turning over our roster. Who is to say we won’t reverse positions? Is it likely? No clue, but the way transfers have completely upended roster continuity now, I am not going to set an expectation either way until I see teams in the field. This is where I was going with my response to your claim that they were definitely better than us. I just don’t know how you can possibly know that at this point.
  13. They lost their entire QB room. I haven’t followed them enough to know who else, but every year is a toss up for every team now. I don’t know how you can definitively say we are better or worse than they are.
  14. Sounds to me like you're getting attached to Edwards and already talking yourself into being able to blame the coach if/when he leaves. He's a great player, but all I can tell you is that you better learn to root for the shirt more than the player or you're going to leave this place a jaded individual. Having to state that out loud and believe it makes me sick. Following kids from HS and watching them develop through college (and sometimes on to the pros) has always been the best part about following college sports...but unless something changes with regard to transfer rules and NIL, that part is dead and gone.
