Everyone can change their mind, no penalty on transfers; but it doesn't have to be stated everytime a transfer commits.

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.

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.

Who is we, and how should they act?

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.

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

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.

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?

Do you really think this kind of post serves any useful purpose?

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.

Tulane's official colors are olive green and sky blue

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.

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.

Yes, I am in to giving excuses.

Apparently, some of you didn't bother to watch the game before commenting on it. The NT players were gassed from the start and played at a substantial disadvantage in that altitude.

This loss is on who ever scheduled this game. NT would have beat this team easily closer to sea level. Montana St is 1-4 away

Am I the only one who has a problem with using the terminology of flipping a player from a lower classification school? It happens to NT plenty, but I don't see it as a big accomplishment on the surface Most athletes are going to go for the team in the best conference that they get an offer from. Not referring to any particular player, but NT flipping a player that was going to the the Southland, WAC, SWAC. etc. is not usually a big achievement. What it really represents is that NT is taking backup players when they didn't get the players that they originally offered ships, which all schools do. Before I get a bunch of examples of great recruits that were not highly sought, I certainly realize that often happens. I also congratulate anyone that gets a scholarship, it is a major accomplishment.

I will go with a b-, lots of new parts to mesh together. The only horrible game was against Fordham, rated 205 in K. Pom at present). The other loses again rated by Pom were to: #31 Mississippi St blowout 54-72; not sure MS could be beaten at that venue with that officiating # 61 St. Johns 52-53 #73 Boise St 64-69: Rarely ever loses in Boise #107 LSU 62-66 #205 Fordham 59-60 Being that NT only returned 2 starters and something like 25% of their scoring with a new coach, imo that is not that bad a start.

That defense is obviously gone.

It appears a lot more than a little to me. To be expected, but the refs took over the game at the end of the half.

No it is not nonsense, I read good QB's are currently getting $1m in NIL benefits to transfer. I certainly think Rogers is in the good category. A big time program may give him that just to be a backup emergency QB.

Any HC worth a damn is going to do what is best for the team. That is a tougher decision than just can the player make the current team better. You don't want to establish the impression that a player can test the market and always be welcomed back to the team. Unfortunately until the rules change, the lower a team is on the support scale (conference, success, wealth) the less likely it is to keep players or recruit coveted transfers.

I just don't get why so many apparently like Gray. It is not a school color and doesn't look that good to me, at least black is a popular look.

ACC beat Fordham by 14, this is maybe the worst lost in years.

I watch pro games and your point makes no sense at all. Where did I said I won't support NT sports? I said I do not support NIL, that means I will contribute nothing to NIL. Notice you again neglected to answer the highlighted question because you have no logical answer.
