A lot has happened since Sept 3rd.

This post has bad juju written all over it. Book a hotel room in San Marcos or Austin area. It's on the way back to DFW and will shorten the drive time the next day.

The transfer portal window opens on Monday Dec 4th. Waiting until after the TBD bowl game to make a decision would be detrimental to our transfer portal recruiting efforts. In my opinion it's conference championship or bust.

Welp. The Rice game in two weeks will be Seth's biggest game of his career. We win and we're in the conference championship game vs UTSA. We lose and he should be fired immediately afterwards with an interim coach at the helm for the bowl game.

Another 3rd & long conversion. FML.

We need a turnover and we need it now.

He'd fit in well here at GoMeanGreen.com.

We're getting used and abused on 3rd and long today. C'mon Phil, make the necessary adjustments!

Our D is swarming to the football. Love to see it.

BOOM! YOU DAMN RIGHT! UNT with 21 straight points on the road after being down by 14. It's a beautiful thing.

TURNOVER. LFG!!!

Tie game. That's how you overcome adversity. Now let's keep it rolling.

Ridge is a boss. We gotta keep him here at all costs. Great defensive stand on 4th down! LFG!

Riiiiiight. That wind is causing him to throw into double coverages now. Damn you, wind!

I’d say the more important “corners” left to turn are winning conference championships and bowl games.

Good visual breakdown. This reminds me that progress never happens in a straight line. There are always peaks and valleys along the way - can’t have one without the other. The key is making the correct adjustments to ensure the valleys don’t turn into free-falls… which is exactly what Seth & Co. did last season when we were left for dead. Mean Green fam, this is what an upswing looks and feels like. All of our goals are still right there for the taking. We just need to peak at the right time.

Coach often talks about overcoming adversity and I admit it can sound like a broken record and uninspiring after a brutal loss. Well to the surprise of many, the man has his team walking the walk (again) at just the right time. I’ve yet to see Seth’s players quit on him during a season or in a game. Especially considering last year with our awful start and the drubbing by SMU and UNLV this season. I’m not privy to the locker room talk but from an outsider perspective, it appears the players will run through a brick wall for the guy. I like that about Seth and have no doubts on his ability to teach and lead men. IMO this deserves a tip of the cap from the Mean Green Faithful. Coach also preaches that in order to win, our team needs to be: Selfless, Tough, & Disciplined. Yes it’s more redundant coach-speak but it’s also awesome to watch it take hold and the players actually embody the mantra. (And let’s applaud him for not giving it some corny-ass title like the Triangle of Toughness.) I’ll end by saying that at the start of every season Coach hammers home the point that it’s all about winning championships. Well Coach, the next few games will tell us everything we need to know. To borrow a line from my favorite golf movie, Tin Cup: “I hit that shot again because it was a defining moment, and when a defining moment comes along, you define the moment… or the moment defines you.”

The thought of Aune leading us into the AAC next year…

You’re not lying! This is GoMeanGreen.com after all. Hell just a few days ago some on this board wanted to fire the local sports beat writer for not cheerleading and putting a more positive spin on the program. We’re an insufferable bunch, that’s for sure.

Damn. UAB comes up short. Final: UTSA 44 UAB 38

Update: Frank and UTSA score to take the lead however failed on the forced 2pt conversion. Let’s see how UAB responds.

Frank Harris answers in OT. Headed to 2nd OT. What a game.

UAB TOUCHDOWN on 3rd and goal in OT. PAT good. 21 straight points in 4th quarter and OT. Next week will be a battle.

UAB TOUCHDOWN WITH :15 left in the 4th! PAT GOOD. TIE GAME.
