This is our problem.

This loss really hurt, going to need a couple of days to recover. I agree with the fact that it hurts because this wasn't a good team like UAB and La Tech are. Please coaches fix this before we go play UTSA because we can't lose to them.

I hope our AD gets on twitter and lectures everyone after 5,000 show up for the 36 degree game on Thursday night

And you know he will. I'm definitely out. I'll quit on them like they quit on us with zero fux given

Wren, if you're reading this, you've even lost the GMG die-hards. This is the worst lost since Portland State.

My other alma mater beat aTm in basketball in College Station last night.  So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

Was not that impressed with the post game with him.  Maybe they asked him about the fake Field goal and I missed his answer?

Exactly!  For whatever reason?  Shouldn't you honestly already have a long list of reasons for today's loss?

A lot on here believe the spitting penalty was justified.  Why?  How do you spit through a football helmet and better yet how would anyone see it?

Are we still bitching about the penalty? 

We had an entire half to play football, and we pooped our pants.

Well.....when you play like #OldDenton

I hate to type this, because I do not want to believe it, but ... our team played with no heart for the last 3 quarters, and I place a sizable portion of that on our coaches. Own it Littrell and staff.

[Big E]

Monumental collapse!  This team has serious issues when it comes to protecting early, big, leads.  They (players and coaches) need to learn how to stay focused and disciplined and finish games.  Very disappointing loss!

If I tried that, I'd hit my facemask and have it ricochet back in my face hahahaha.

doubt you see any of that.

It'd be one thing if we lost in a close game to a good team.  We lost in a close game to a really really really bad team.  It's a lack of focus.  Mason and Torrey looked like the only guys on offense with any energy or effort in the second half.

Yes, I guess you have seen multiple spitting calls.  Seems strange to me, asking for other people's views is not in my definition of bitching. 

Your second sentence has absolutely nothing to do with my comment.

It's focusing on the wrong takeaway of this game. If it happened, the penalty was adjudicated properly. If not, well that sucks. But 15 yards isn't going to kill you at the end of the half. We will never know if actually happened. 

To let it compound into an additional personal foul, and then apparently let it sap you of all fight or wherewithal in the second half is the real issue. 

[outoftown]

On beyond the green, you see the coaches tell a player not to be pressing every once in a while. Not taking the 28 yard FG and instead going for a fake when you are trying to put away an opponent.... that is telltale sign of a coach who is pressing.

SL is making 1.4 million. That sure doesn't seem worth raising right now.

My girlfriend is from Virginia Beach, so I'm gonna get some tonight out of this, which is nice.

If we had to play our entire season over again starting now, based on how good all of the teams are this week, how many games do we honestly think we would win?

I don't know if I agree.  But one this is for sure this team needs an attitude adjustment.  They get up in games and think they are better than they are.  They disrespect themselves and their opponents and that manifests itself in unsportsmanlike penalties.  Every one of these second half meltdowns have featured after whistle penalties.  The fake FG reeked of desperation and not having confidence in your team to play smart football to finish the game.  That is HORRIBLE coaching.  Seth has recruited great and brought in a great offense.  Next year it will be all his guys.  If we see this kind of consistent unsportsmanlike BS 2019 then 2020 he needs to be in the hot seat.

Selfless, tough, disciplined.  This team is failing all three.

But the real question is does she get to be the man because we lost?
