Sorry. Only other P5s get home and home. We're not going to Denton to play you guys. But we'll pay you to come play us!
I hope you do, we'll come up there and kick your middling big 12 dwelling arses.

Seems to me like KSU needs to make a big move to keep up with KU. How long until Les Miles is kicking the crap outta them if they screw this up. KU already has the dominate bball program in the state, can they risk also being the runnerup in football? I love Littrell but if I'm the KSU AD I think I money whip Venables into submission. Thats who they really want anyway.

NCAA told UAB they could revive the program in June 2015. Any of the plays who signed with the 2014 class and stayed got to pause their clocks.
- Clark has no class size limitation
- Clark had no academic limitation, because the NCAA paused the APR clock. He was able to bring in 30-40 JUCOs and not get hurt by any of them failing out.
- UAB started a special admission program to let students in who didn't meet their normal academic standards. 2% of the general incoming freshman are admitted under that program, 67% of the UAB players were admitted under that rule.
That 67% is a stunning number. Surely that catches up with them via APR at some point. I would think its really difficult to keep those kinds of players in academic good standing and on track to graduate unless they pull a UNC kinda thing.

He's a good dude, hope he goes somewhere he can start and kills it next year.

I think its both, but you can hide a personnel issue by calling the right play. If your left tackle struggles to block the man directly in front of him you don't ask him to try to stunt down the line on a slow developing play where he will undoubtedly get beat. You block straight ahead and and run a dive play behind you best lineman and possibly a tight end...or how about a QB sneak for a yard. It just seems like we overthink the most basic situations on offense.

To me the biggest spots to fill are LT and someone to take over for Ejiya. We will sorely miss that guy on defense.

We can all google some report somewhere that supports our side of the argument. My point is this, the exhaust gases from burning fossil fuels is poisonous to all living things on this planet and damaging to our environment. We know this to be fact. I personally believe it has an affect on the changing of our climate, to what degree I don't know. We should be working on alternative energy sources to slowly replace as much fossil fuel use as possible. That process has been derailed by the oil and gas industry and their lobbists for decades all so Exxon can report another multi-billion dollar quarterly revenue. Surely at some point we start acting on behalf of our planet and the people that live on it.

GH needs to kick rocks. He has proven to be a liability and not a commodity. No point keeping him around. Stepping on toes??!! Stomp on them for all I care. Offense regressed this year and I'm sure the metrics would prove that. Situational play calling may not be quantitative, but it too has slipped.
Might have to agree with you on this one. I wonder if it would be to much of a distraction for Seth to call plays next year. Either way I'd like to see a new play caller or vast improvement from GH.

An SMU loss is almost as good as a NT win.

The refusal to take any reals steps against climate change is driven by the greed of the oil and gas industry. They continually argue that its not "settled science" when 98 out of 100 climate scientists would agree with this report. If 98 doctors told you you had cancer and 2 said don't worry about it we would all start cancer treatment immediately. Some cities like Miami Beach are already paying the price. Due to flooding they are already experiencing they have to find someway to raise the level of their city something like 3 feet to try and get ahead on the rising tides.
When the city of Denton voters passed an ordinance to regulate gas wells in the city limits it was overturned by Austin. Funny how the Texas GOP wants autonomy from the Federal government, but wont allow it for their own cities.
Also, drive up north of Denton towards Muenster and all the ranches between here and their and ask the ranchers how badly their water wells have been poisoned by fracking. Not one or two, but thousands of water wells poisoned and no one gives a crap.
I'm all for growing the economy and making as much money as possible for everyone, but it can't come at the expense of peoples health or lives.

Against the worst damn offense in the NCAA? Gimmee' a break!
After reading your posts I sometimes wonder if you even watch the games. Special teams gave up a short field and essentially the TD with the blocked punt. The OC calls the worst kind of run play possible again on 4th and 1, but sure lets fire the DC for taking the defense from 116th last year to 32nd this year.

It sucks to lose games when you have a halftime lead, but I'll take 9 wins every year and not feel bad about it. Now lets go to whatever bowl game we get, do some hard tailgating and get that 10th win.

Need 3 good recruiting classes, Seth, to compete for a CUSA Championship & be able to beat the Sun Belts best in some Toilet Bowl. You also need a new Defensive Coordinator.
3 steps forward---5 steps backward...........(again).
CRAP!
So after watching this game that's your takeaway? The defense won this game for us. If our offense was consistent maybe our defense could get a little more rest during games. Special teams were bad and offense sputtered all night.

I wonder if Coach Bro would take a swim through Denton as OC for a season or so to help pad that resume for another P5 head coaching gig? I would think some P5 would give him that opportunity but you never know. Thoughts?
-
Just because you don't recognize the name doesn't mean they are a bad team. That's what all the P5 fans say about us. Saint Peters plays in a pretty salty bball conference and they looked to me like the best team we've played so far.

I can't prove it, but watching tonight left me with the impression that Grant coached this game differently, especially in the second half. I felt like he wanted this game to tighten up. Lots of different player combinations and far less intensity than he normally shows. Seems like he let the players run their own sets more often than normal. Could this be a teaching moment?....or maybe I'm crazy.

Losing Bradley next year will hurt a lot.
We will have to replace her by committee. Mims looks to have dramatically improved her ability to drive and finish at the rim. I know Sheperd missed some shots against UT but for a freshman I think she's shown a pretty good game from the free throw line in and works hard on defense. I also like Owens for some of the same reasons. George can also be good for us at the post if she can polish her shooting a little. I expect Townley will improve throughout the season after missing all last year due to injury.
-
Their size killed us on the glass and closed down our passing lanes. It was near impossible for us to finish in the lane. They do have more depth but I was actually surprised the talent gap wasn't wider. Another good recruiting class and we might have something here. At the very least we should be competitive in CUSA this year.

Down 23-11 after 1st qtr. getting killed on the boards and by one ref.

We know about the crap refs in C-USA. Funny how we get Texas here and three refs I don’t recall seeing before.

not suggesting the fans are at fault for anything but building the team up for more than it ever was and then threatening (almost certainly an empty threat) to stop supporting the team because they fell short of the expectations they themselves built.
and "passion" is what leads half these people to their first domestic assault charge. I'd rather have "reason"
You are posting utter nonsense on this thread. Every team in the country should expect to beat one of the worst programs in the country with a 2-7 record when you start with a 28-0 lead, and when it doesn't happen people should be upset about it. This has nothing to do with starting 4-0 or building too much expectations. It has to do with decades of futility and people continually giving time and money to this program. How much more time and money does it take so we don't have multiple ridiculous games each season?
And if you think of domestic assault because someone lost a game that's on you.

What a f'ing shit show. I can take losing to good teams but that was pathetic. I hope my feelings change because right now I don't feel like I'll watch or attend another NT football game.
Keep it nice

Seth Littrell Rumors Mega Thread
in Mean Green Football
Posted
I think we're doing a lot of fretting over nothing. I don't know if Seth is staying or going, but I don't think it matters in the long term to our program. The only potential downside is losing some of this years recruiting class. The upside is that we are now in position to make an even better hire. Neal made a great hire with Wren, and he at least had a huge impact on getting Seth here. I personally believe it was Neal that hired Seth, and not so much RV. Wren made a great hire with Grant. For the first time that I can remember we have competent pro athletics people in place at President, BOR, and AD. Regardless of what happens with Seth we will be more than fine and maybe even better.
