I also prefer burying my head in the sand to worrying about the state of our program 😉 If we are unwilling to make a move to can coach mumbles, then players can't be expected to stick around. or fans.

Prices go any lower and we'll be calling him Dana Dime(l) You're welcome for that one

To be fair, you guys have been skunking us lately under Dykes, but SMU isn't exactly world beaters yet. We're 1 good QB and a WR who didn't eat a handful of KFC before the game away from being pretty close. We've all seen how a single season can swing things in the past couple years. 1 actual coach and a QB and we could be a big player in AAC spoiler mode.

Nailed it. Seeing Tennessee on that list helped me to realize this guy was living in the NCAAF multiverse where Saban instead became a ballet dancer and Smart took up the mantle of the Bulldog(tm) to avenge the untimely death of his parents in a theaters back alley during a 1990 showing of Ninja Turtles.

Why support a team you love when you should just support the one with the most money now.... Right?

you lost me on that rationalization. He wasn't good enough to start. Everyone else was bad enough that its was our only passable choice. Just cause you have the job doesn't mean you deserve the job. Just ask coach mumbles.

You could add the Kansas city chiefs to our team and I would still remain skeptical with our coaching. Its not the players I have a problem with but they inability to develop the talent. Until the coaches show some sign of life i'll take the "wait and see" approach before congratulating them

Thats a pretty strong assumption made there... ...assuming our playbook isn't written in crayon with koolaid spilled all over it.

I'm mildly intrigued, but been hurt so many times before that I don't know what to think

Because 1. ONE. single draft pick is something to brag about? Sure. You can't argue that its still a pretty low bar

Despite the conference, they are out maneuvering us at the marketing and recruiting game by a pretty hefty margin. Except for McCasland. He's ours. No touching. Wrens PR game was absolute Fire the first few years when Seth was the new hot thing. Now, I have no idea. But it ain't that.

So, is it ok to start crying now, or is there a communal area where we can all do it together? Or do we just wait until Aune takes the field again? I'm open to whatever...

Who are willing to work for free, yes?

God forbid our 1 faithful beat reporter should earn a living. Toss a coin to your Vito

Spoiler: It's 50% gonna be more than half of us bitching about Aune, and less than 50% of us complaining about the other half of Ruder. Sprinkle in a pinch of complaining why the younger guys aren't getting more interest and you have yourself an offseason. Bake until exhausted of posting.

(I'm also responsible for my fair share of them too)

You don't have to read the thread if you don't like. Unless it picked on you in high school, or hit on your wife, I think you are pretty well protected from the harm it could cause you.

To be fair, the day I wrote that comment was after seeing 4 threads in a row of people complaining that stuff didn't belong in the football forum, even if football related. Felt like a bunch of folks were policing things, so it annoyed me. I don't check anything but Football and Basketball, otherwise the content on here would be dead. and I like content. It gives me a reason to keep drinking.

Points that everyone here can agree on. The leadership in that room from SL down has been non-existent since we lost Fine/Graham. Maybe someone does catch fire. I hope so. Either way, going to watch that ship sail or go down in flames every game!

Now, if Aune was an NFL level QB, I'd go with that. But he got benched for Aune, not Burrow. That's about as black and white as a players competency can get.

This guy was riding pine at UNC well before he started warming it up here too. Sometimes a dud is a dud.

And yet nothing of value was lost

And one of those coupon books sold by high school bands with a $2 off a slurpee coupon you totally intend to use, but is still sitting on top of your microwave 5 years later.

It's sad how true this is. I think everyone see's the writing on the wall, so they are promoting/shifting & placing folks wherever they can get the most experience before the swinging door hits their rears on the way out with SL. Wren is being smart (I think) in not investing a lot of money in folks who are going to to be canned as soon as they hire the replacement for Seth. So squeeze as many nephews and unexperienced QB coaches as you can get in at a good price while you can! SL really should have been booted at 1-6... but to quote our good and dearly missed friend, Meatloaf: "Objects in the rearview mirror may appear closer than they are"
