Put me in the "loved to see Mac's passion on the sideline" crew. He was so short, it was entertaining watching him go straight at these 6-5 guys. He also never did it out of malice.

Felt like CJ had more than 2 steals. I thought he played amazing.
My only critique is ball security, he seems to cough it up a few times a game. Need to clean that up and we are looking good.

Imagine thinking a building is old at 50, lmao. Such is the culture of this state, pave paradise to put up a parking lot.
Maintenance is more important than age. If a venue is well maintained and renovated regularly it can last a long time, the question what is the structural condition of The Pit? This is an honest question, maybe someone on this board has insider knowledge.

Impressive considering we had 2 starters out.

I thought that the new plan was to keep the Super Pit, but maybe doll it up a little more. I do think that a parking garage hooked into the Pit would be a good idea. It could be built in the area just east of the Pit where the flag poles are, etc. Crossing the street from the old Fouts Field parking is not ideal.
For years the master plan had always been to build a large parking garage in the old Fouts lot and make a pedestrian bridge going across to the Pit.

I wonder if Earle is staying around to see if a new clear starter transfer comes in, if someone good is picked up he can still enter the portal in the spring.

Is there some school that you'd like our teams to represent other than our own? Is that how it works Green Otaku?
While I agree that we should primarily wear green and white, the whole, "It's the reason we are losing." is growing tired. I'm all for advocating that those should be the colors we wear for marketing and tradition, but saying we lose games because of the jersey colors makes you sound like (in the nicest way possible 😆) one of those insane homeless guys yelling on a corner.

If only we hadn't played in green, we could have won. Is that how this works @ADLER?

Getting drafted as a bench rider QB is almost impossible at any level
Which is why I said, "Even with the same stats."

If you’re producing the NFL will find you. I think the P5 advantage is in play when you’re riding the bench, not producing, but you get to do workouts on a pro day that has many more scouts than you would see at a G5 pro day.
I feel like QB is the one position that this is the exception. Getting drafted as a G5 QB is infinitely harder, even with the same stats.

I do think we have some deficiencies over last year, especially in the 5 spot. I want Sissoko to have a huge breakout as much as everybody else, but Allen needs to be the starter and let Sissoko build up his confidence with bench minutes. We are really missing those consistent 8-10 points from a post that seal games away, and let you build leads. Buggs and Noland need to be a little more consistent. Even with that said we have been in games, in the last moments we have missed layups and shot ourselves in the foot. I don't know if that's pressure/mental lapses/coaching/, etc., but if we can at least force the other team to beat us that would be a huge improvement.

Going from DC to safties, and no longer being in the role he had the contract for I would think they would adjust his pay accordingly.

A. Caponi cannot be fired this year as an assistant with one year left on his contract. We don't have the money.
B. Morris certainly cannot be fired next year with 3 years left on his contract. We don't have the money.
It's the UNT way I guess, not enough money to erase our mistakes. If he starts the same way next year I would hope Morris/the admin would have the astuteness to demote him after a few games and cut his salary until his contract is over.
-
If Caponi stays and they have the same poor results next year I honestly think Morris should be fired as well. If he couldn't bring the right choice the first time, and let them stay around an extra year to waste it, why would we trust him with the next hire?

6-6 is the floor, the bare minimum. This season is already a strike against Morris.

If Caponi is back next year and we get the same thing forget a short leash for Morris next year, the collar might be strangling him.

Yep, very interested to see how much the conference will get from SMU. And what UNTs share will be.
Also I wonder how much of the Cincy, UCF, and UH money the other schools will get. I'm not sure if the AAC is distributing that money or making a conference fund for other uses.
I found this
But it's hard to know how much to total numbers are.

Yup. I don't see why they would wait longer than today.

Schools don't pay for NIL. NIL is gathered through collectives outside of the athletic department.

JMU has the most important thing it takes to run an athletic department. The right people/administration in the department. The success of both sports shows they are smart and informed decision makers, something we have been lacking in for decades. Outside of all of the sporting decisions the AD handles promotion, advertisement, fundraising, donations, logistics, community outreach, fan engagement, marketing, budgeting, etc. Without that strong foundation every coach will struggle to succeed here.

The legacy AAC schools get $7M a year, and that is paid out at the end of the year around May or June.
The new teams however get a half share, so $3.5M, but it is unclear if we get the full amount or if the AAC entrance fee will come out of it for a couple of years. Once the payout is given someone can use a FOIA to see the numbers. Over the course of the contract that number will ramp up so that we are receiving a full share by 2031. No one knows the specifics at this point on that as far as I know.
Also that will just be the media payout, it does not include CFP, NCAA credits, and any potential exit fee money. I'll be interested when all of the amounts become public.

I refuse to make any guesses on maybes and ifs. That's how people delude themselves into thinking we are going to be completely different with no evidence, and how we hold onto people here too long. We had a team this year that was very poor on defense, but also had flubs on offense that could have won us games. I don't need Morris and the others to talk about how we will be better next year, go out and show me you are better.

Our band plays the most annoying song everytime the other team gets a first down as if they are mocking us. Like they play this fierce stand up d type song when we just give up a new set of downs. I can’t be the only one that keeps seeing this right?
I'm so confused with the choice of what to play and when. Do they just rotate through a list of songs to play without caring what down or game situation it is? Sloppy, unorganized, and unfocused all year. Fire that director.
