  1. I guess if you have the horses, you never lose. Calling out one player in a game were the entire team looked completely gassed, is suspect IMO.
  2. Interesting take, but ignores the fact that most of the print media is gone including newspapers and magazines. Not because of the social influence game but because few read anymore and even fewer will pay for the privilege.
  3. Do you really think there is a Missed Calls Review committee that changes game results? How did you come up with that idea?
  4. No, this is not the situation most are complaining about. They would have no way of knowing his background unless they researched it like you did. The facts are that thousands of football players have been injured and did not get a do-over and had their collegian football careers substantially shortened. This guy deserves a lot of credit for his perseverance, but there should be limits on player's eligibility. This type of rationale opens the door to a lot of questionable maneuvering to abuse eligibility requirements.
  5. The main thing is that it was a super play. Perfect pass and score. If you are a NT fan, enjoy it; leave the second guessing to ECU fans.
  6. Coach Pete was a bad coach, his reference I am assuming was a joke.
  7. First, no conference official is going to go on the record and state their referees were wrong on a basic in game call or no-call. Next, it is obvious that this ECU beat writer is just playing to his audience and getting a lot of attention.
  8. McCasland did wonderful things here, but at this point; I'm not sure if NT didn't keep the best coach in that staff.
  9. No kidding, now address the main point; The facts are a player that commits is much more likely to sign than not.
  10. Sure a commitment means something, no coach would bother with them if it didn't. There are no guarantees even if they sign a letter of intent. The facts are a player that commits is much more likely to sign than not.
  11. NT has always had a realistic chance to win the conference this year. That is a lot different than being the favorite, but NT has proven they are one of the best in the league.
  12. Everyone can change their mind, no penalty on transfers; but it doesn't have to be stated everytime a transfer commits.
  13. Not sure what this has to do with the topic, the effectiveness of the coach. Your assumption or opinion is apparently he has not been effective. My question based on what, being the players have not even played.
  14. I think some of you are not recognizing the effect of NIL on recruiting. It is difficult to compare past eras to now. How much you pay trumps the personalities involved in recruiting.
  15. I would feel better with more QB talent on the current roster. However, with Morris at the helm; I believe NT will be fine at this position. I expect he will bring in at least one more QB and maybe two.
  16. My go, 1. Memphis (13-2), Easy selection at this point 2. SMU (10-5), Toughest early schedule in league 3. NT (9-5), Best defence in conference, tough start with difficult schedule 4. FAU (11-4), Combination of upset wins and unexpected losses 5. UAB (10-5), Upset losses to McNeese, USM, Ark St. 6. South Florida (8-5), Lost to UAB, beat Florida St. 7. Tulane (10-4), High scoring fast paced 8. Charlotte (7-7), Big wins over George Mason and FAU 9. Tulsa (9-5), only lost to #1 Memphis by 3 10. Wichita State (8-7), Victim of very challenging OC schedule 11. East Carolina (8-7), Another team with very difficult OC slate 12. Temple (8-7), Staying over .500 should be goal 13. UTSA (7-8), Predict battle with Rice to stay out of cellar 14. Rice (5-9), Currently ranked last, but expect them to move up a few slots
  17. Until NT starts selling out games and they have only been close a couple of times in the SPit history, I find complaining about how people watch the games is strange. You go to a game to enjoy the experience, if that is sitting and eating popcorn that is definitely your choice.
  18. Your missing my point. Do you think complaining about attendance on a messageboard is going to have any positive effect? Are people going to read the message and immediately plan on going to the next home game?
  19. Do you really think this kind of post serves any useful purpose?
  20. What makes you think the students get in free? In fact, they through the mandated fees pay most of the cost of the entire athletic program.
  21. Great, take. It apparently doesn't matter how big their financial loss, how much NIL money is spent on hiring the team, how few SMU fans actually attend games; SMU will continue to go forward because of an unending supply of donor money.
  22. Difference of opinion, sure they ran; but to me the NT players looked obviously labored compared to playing in lower altitude locals. Back in the Big West days NT could never beat Denver in Colorado, yet had much better success in Texas.
