[Outrageous early prediction]

Let’s hope that P5 steps in and hires Seth away before he inevitably embarrasses himself in the conference championship and bowl games.

Thanks for that history lesson. Enjoyed it!

Hawaii just backed out of the game. Covid related. 
 

So glad we at least got to play our game.

Line was Miami Ohio -3

we were supposed to be competitive, we weren’t.

 

I disagree. We had a legitimate chance until about 9 minutes left in the game when we turned it over on downs on their 4 yard line.
 

Even after that, one could argue that we still had a chance. I wouldn’t disagree with someone trying to make that argument. But I also won’t stand up to make that argument. 😂  But someone could make that argument. 

[So sad]

I’m not sure what people expected in this game or why people expected such great things. 
 

I never expected a win in this game with any confidence.  It would have been nice to win one again, and I was glad to buy tickets and be there in green. But I’m just happy it was a competitive game. We were in it until the last half of the 4th quarter, unlike several other games this year and past bowl/championship games under SL. 

for me, this is what it boiled down to:

Our offensive strength?  Run game

Their defensive strength? Run defense

Not good for us. 
 

Their offensive strength? Pass game

Our defensive weakness? Secondary 

Also not good for us. 
 

People are fooling themselves if they think we were ever supposed to blow this team out of the water. Beatable, yes, unlike some previous bowl games.

We just got whipped by a middle of the road MAC team in a home game. 

People forget this team missed an appearance in their conference championship game by losing to Kent State by 1 point in overtime in the final week of the season. 
 

We were much further away from an appearance in the CUSA championship than that. 

[FIRE SETH NOW]

I’ve said all along, he should have been fired during or at the conclusion of the regular season. Now is too late. The coaching carousel has started to slow down and settle in place. We all know what happens when you go looking for an OC or DC later than everyone else, and it’s not pretty. It has to be even worse to go HC hunting later than everyone else. At this point, he needs to stay for another year.

This is one of the best threads I've ever seen on a message board. Mind if I "steal" it for the Miami board?

Post a link to it. We’d like to see y’all’s work too. 

[Score for the Frisco Football Classic]

Seth comes out looking unprepared… again. 
 

Miami - 35

UNT - 17 (Mostly garbage time)

 

Hope I’m wrong.

The bowl logo at the end has icicles on it. Someone really should have checked the forecast for tomorrow. 😂

[SDSU vs UTSA Frisco Warm-up bowl]

I’d kind of like to see UTSA win to make our win over them that much more special.  Am I wrong?   I also struggle rooting against our conference in non-conference games. 

It would be nice to be responsible for their only L. But regardless who the opponent is or what conference they are in, I root for UTSA to lose… ALWAYS. 
 

Personally, I see this as a win-win situation. They win the bowl, and we were their only loss in the season. They lose, and they still suck. 🤷‍♂️

I know it’s a bit early, but we already had the wife’s family Christmas yesterday and I HAD to show this off. My brother-in-law hand made this for me! Freaking cool!

Love it!  Is that one those cabinets what opens up and stores guns?

[DRC Sunday column: Guiding UNT to bowl shows why Seth Littrell is great fit with Mean Green]

I’m of the belief that he needs to go. He should have been let go at the conclusion of the regular season. 
 

Letting him go now or after the bowl game would be a mistake. It’s too late to start a search for a new head coach, much less the staff that fills in under them. He needs to stay for another year, regardless of the bowl game outcome.

These CUSA teams are screwing up my bowl pick ems. 

[UTSAs McCormick not playing in Frisco Bowl]

Here’s a question to ponder:

If they had beat us, would he still play for the undefeated season?

Interesting that they went back to Mose at C & Carroll at RG.    Guess they saw something on tape they liked only against UTSAs DL?

Mose looked like he hurt a finger during the UTSA game.  He was practicing snapping the ball on the sidelines and wincing in some pain.  Guessing it's all better now.

I was hoping we might see Bush back for the bowl game. 😢

[Frisco Classic Bowl]

I'm also of the mind that this game will not sell out.  I'd be happy with 10k butts in seats.  It's two 6-6 teams in a horrible time slot.  I'm trying to not be a homer here.  

That being said, I'll be in the stadium.  It's right down the road from my house.

They were. I hated the switch to digital. Give me a physical ticket any day.

The ticket stock can't cost that much. Use some of Seth's contract to pay for it and he'd still be the richest coach in CUSA.

Wait... you got a physical ticket as a student?  Back in my day, we literally just showed our ID and walked in.  It was glorious!  We could leave at halftime, go slam a few beers in the parking lot and then go back in.

UTSA will be playing at the same Frisco bowl on the 21 against San Diego St and they had 41,000 in attendance this past Saturday against W Kentucky. 

I believe I heard their announcer say they only had 21,000 in attendance last Saturday.
