Aune's last 4 passes have been thrown out of bounds 😞

Should be 17-0. Yikes. Bennett has been good with halftime adjustments and I expect the defense to pick it up a bit. Our QB situation is another story though 😞

Gutsy call by UTEP. It works./

Actually, I did also hear this from a couple Dallas broadcasters. 15+ inches of rain in 24-hours (parts of Dallas) is insane and would smash the official DFW record of just over 9 inches.

It looks like a failed MIT prank at a Harvard/Yale football game 😆 For those too young, see the 1982 Harvard/Yale Game.

Yep. I cringed initially when reading this thread and let out a sigh of relief after.

Thank you Emmitt ! Maybe we should create a new forum for SMU only posts (joking) Frankly, I am sick of hearing about them here. The more publicity on the internet for SMU, the more you are helping their cause. Even bad publicity is better than no publicity.

I literally feel sick to my stomach reading this 😞

That's a start.

LOVE the jerseys. The helmet.......meh

I for one have lost a lot of interest. The rich get richer from NIL and the transfer portal. No real playoff system yet. Blah. I will root for my school. Outside of that, I have lost interest.

I don't know about anyone else. But, I am sick of hearing about SMU rumors. If it was actual news, it might be different.

This is so spot on regarding UTSA. And they still have crappy facilities (see basketball) and lower revenue than we do. We don't deserve to run with the big boys now, but UTSA is no better. One top 25 FB season and they are suddenly the second coming. People really show their ignorance when building up UTSA right now.

Sadly, this is exactly what I see coming 😞 It will still be better than CUSA. But, I can see Memphis and SMU being candidates for a watered down Big 12 (assuming the Pac 10 goes after the Big 12).

I am not as down on UNT football, as much as I am down on college football overall. The NIL and transfer rules have pretty much ruined it for me. That is why I don't really look forward to the coming season.

Outstanding and well deserved Grant !!

I know that QB transfers really have not really worked out for us. But, Gunnell actually has some serious playing time at the P5 level and done pretty well. If he does not succeed here, it is really going to point a finger at coaching. My concern is that Aune will do just enough to hold onto the job, preventing Gunnell from seeing the field. If Aune can't complete at least 60% of his passes, the decision to start him would have been a poor one.

I am confused as to why this is big news. I thought we were always expected to join the AAC in 2023 along with the other 5 ?

Highlights are just that one game against USC, but he looked very poised. His pocket presence at the 1:00 minute mark was great. However, it did look like he flubbed the ball trying to throw it away at the end. They cutoff the highlight....LOL I will take this kids accuracy and arm over Aune's any day. My uneducated eye did not really see him go through his progressions much and he telegraphed a lot of throws, especially those 3 awful behind the LOS passes (awful calls). At least he put the ball on target. I am really excited about this kid being here. He threw 248 passes for Arizona. That's a pretty good sample size. How nice would it be to have a QB that completes over 60% of his passes. This kid was over 65% both seasons.

To Aune's credit, he had nobody to really throw to last season and was much better when Darden was here. But, Gunnell played on a bad team against Pac-12 competition.

Perfect response. There are no guarantees. But, you can't discount Gunnell's experience against quality competition. The odds of Gunnell succeeding here are obviously higher.

Two 12 seeds and a 15 seed out. Wow. Seems to happen every year recently.

One thing that I am noticing today. Nearly all the good teams in the tourney nail their free throws. This is definitely something our guys need to work on in the offseason. It's probably their main weakness and should be one of the easiest things to fix. Heck, you can teach any average joe with even a bit of athletic ability to shoot free throws.

Typical upset of another Big 10 team. I get so sick of so many Big 10 teams getting at-large bids.

Promise him his favorite Jimmy John's sandwich.

Yep. And that is a good thing. You get the feeling our guys can still get hot before this thing is over. Can't stay this cold, especially Perry.
