    Remember, "the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night"; i.e., unexpectedly.  But it's important to be prepared whenever it does come.  Personally, I would recommend the New Testament over a YouTube channel.

    Most of these sermons on You Tube are from the New Testament and the book of Daniel in the Old Testament.  We are batting about 100% on Old Testament prophecy.  I strongly agree on your "Be Prepared" statement.

    one big reservation: no one has any idea how he'd do without a QB named Harris.

    True, but he is finally going to be without him after only seven seasons. Maybe he could recruit all left-handed quarterbacks and call them all "Harris."

    We have a freshman kicker already on the roster. 
    I think our offense will be fine. It has been mentioned many times that Chandler loves playing for Morris. Maclin will have to sit if he transfers again. 

    I agree that Chandler should stay.  He'll be as good/better next year.  But we need to give some serious consideration to the offensive line.  We only lost two from the starting offensive line of last year, had the highest rated composite who had excelled at Georgia Tech in 2022 come in, had an extra good receiving corps and gave up more sacks.  May not need a big fix but it needs a little more of something.

    He’s already transferred once. He can’t transfer again until he graduates. It is another reason we should be building through the portal as much as possible. 

    It's true that he transferred from Missouri but he still had four years of eligibility left.  He played in three games his freshman thereby making that his redshirt season.  He was injured his second season and did not appear at all.  Last year he was a freshman and this year he is a sophomore which means that he still has two years of eligibility left.  He will graduate next year, only his third season of playing.  Hopefully, he could take his fourth season as a graduate student.  He likes it here and might prefer doing that as opposed to transferring somewhere else.  He should be well known by then and could cost some serious NIL money.  But in my opinion he's worth it.

    Bobby Iverson from Oklahoma should be on the team. He was special if I remember right he stopped playing ball to be a Pasteur up in OK. He was here around '70?

    Ah, yes.  Bobby Iverson from Tulsa.  He didn't quit to be a pastor; he quit because his mother was a Jehovah's Witness and in her opinion playing basketball was a sin.  He could have been one of our greatest.  He was terrific the year that he played.  What a natural!

  6. The latest national figures show that Eric Morris is a good offensive coach.  The passing offense is rated 13th in the nation.  The run offensive is #36 nationally.  We are ranked #11 in total offense.  Not too many new coaches will beat that kind of performance.

    Now flip it to defense.  The pass defense is #47.  That's a good number but the problem is we do not get thrown against very often.  That's the only decent defensive number. Both the rushing defense and the total defense rank 133 (dead last).  

    Those figures tell that the run defense should be changed unless the team being played does not have a good run offense; in which case the 3-5-5 should be able to stop a passing team.  It seems a rather simple fix; get the best available DC to replace the current one.  Applications, anyone?

    BE9I5469 Rogers Sacked crop 1200.png

    From his first snap of the game until his last, Rogers was getting swarmed.  I would love to know what UTSA's pressure rate was, it might be an NCAA record. 

     

    Well, you see, they have this fierce front three and the linebackers wait until they come to them and the back five control the passes.  

    We might could run something like that if we could find three Booger Kennedys.  Three Orrs and a couple of Davis' at linebacker and the defensive backs that Hayden Fry had.

    It's always seemed to me that the best coaches mold their offense and defense to the strength of their players; not to some offense or defense that looks good on paper.

    PS:  I still like Eric as a person and a coach and I want him to succeed.

    No jersey has ever won or lost a game

    Generally true...but there are occasions where players are more inspired by a particular color.  Lighter colors often don't inspire effort.  While not on a uniform, Hayden Fry painted the opponent's dressing room pink at Fouts.

    If he already has those kind of offers now and yet chooses to go to North Texas anyway, why would he be more likely to transfer than someone else who doesn't get those kind of offers until after he gets here?

    Because we were his first offer.  Plus we wanted him as a safety...he seemed to prefer linebacker in spite of his size.
