I have never been part of a bye-week conspiracy before. I don't know the answers. But publicly questioning the mods will get things deleted at times. If you have a question, send Harry a PM, unless you know which mod enforced something. Then you can PM them or Harry. Before you PM me, I don't know the answers to questions raised in this thread. it seems like nice scandalous bye week material though.

It seems that I saw several block in the backs by LA against us with no calls if we sneezed; we got a holding call.

JD, great show. Did Eric do an official post-game show or just call into you guys?

@jtm0097 Fantastic post!

I did a study last year at one point our average raking of the teams we beat was something like 157, I am not sure we were anything but better than the bottom dwellers we beat. Portal out some of the playmakers and we are really bad.

@UNTLifer thank you for the notes!

Thank you for linking

Is this thing happening?

I think it will be very interesting to see what happens this week. What is Coach Morris made of? Will we drop our DC? I really hope we pull a win out of our ass, I really need a win here. I might need therapy if we don't.

Really? If Wren had made a proper decision, we would have had time for a proper search. Instead, he found a way out and left us holding the bag. So, instead of doing a proper search for a coach, we were behind the ball and had to figure out a new AD also. Amazingly bad timing.

I was really hoping also, but I felt there was a reality floating in the background that scared the shit out of me.

There is a bit more to that story, like having NIL funding and more. I think we handicapped ourselves in many ways. I wanted us to fire/hire much earlier in the season if not the year before. And to keep seth we would have had to extend his contract, which was a big NO. I am not ready after two games to hang a brand new coach. And to what end? My point was we were far from a powerhouse last year.

Really, that is so not true. Did you see how bad the portal hammered us? FIU looked big next to us. Who recruited most of our current players? I would say that an earlier hire last year would have made an enormous difference. We had an easy schedule last year and SMU could have easily hung another 14 points on us. We didn't play last year's FIU last night I have no idea what has changed and developed there but I know we lost many of our best players to the portal and graduation.

OMG, do you really believe UTSA was really a top-15 team? So silly, so overrated proved in their bowl game that year.

Wow

What does that mean? Are really saying conditions can't favor one team over another?

I don't know the answer to that, they seemed much bigger. But the late fire of Seth and hire of a new head coach and Wren's departure let us get hammered in the portal. I think you could argue that if Wren had worried about us he would have fired Seth after the UNLV game last year and we could have secured our players better from the portal and maybe even used the portal better.

Yup what was that big important win game Seth won. I must of missed it. But he did let SMU come in here last year and trounce us. Did he ever beat them at home?

Seth had the easiest schedule I can remember last year and I believe most of these players are his recruits.

Clearly, we were not getting better under Seth, and that would only lead to worse results in this conference. He lacked the personality and the recruiting skills to be a head coach. Probably a great OC. Timing with Wren was more of the issue for. me

No worries. It can be tough being green sometimes.

I didn't say he would. Man can I have wish list???? Please

I would expect the portal will be more helpful next year.

I would love to see Zach Orr as our Defensive Coordinator.
