Would getting our arse kicked one more time in a bowl game move us forward...lol???

Yes. Post season play. Getting more practice and reps for the young guys. Recruiting going forward says we are a bowl team…record won’t matter. Players want to play in a bowl….we go to bowl games.

One of the things I'm considering is, Wren is giving SL a chance to make a bowl game to justify keeping him another year.

I'm never going to wish for our players to lose, but man! at this point I think we should be finding reasons to move on from SL sooner, not finding reasons to keep him later.

This is where I am too.   

And with the talent on this team, they have a very real opportunity to show up to Apogee on 11/27 with a 5-6 record and feeling really good, with absolutely nothing to lose and a bowl game opportunity to gain.
Not saying we're going to beat UTSA, but man, they're going to need to watch out, because if they beat UAB the previous week to secure C-USA West, and punch their ticket to the CCG, then look forward to that game & coast when they come to Apogee, they're gonna lose.   
And I'll be extremely proud, but worried about the future, because we'd likely draw some middling AAC team like East Carolina in the Frisco Bowl, show up en-force, and win that game too.  Then Littrell is back & we're gonna get kicked in the nuts again in 2022, in a very critical season in our transition to the AAC.

In all likelyhood though, NT rolls into that 11/27 matchup 5-6 and feeling like they're gonna show UTSA what's up, only to get smacked down hard because UTSA is gonna be undefeated & not want to let NT take that away... which ends the bowl hopes, and makes it extremely easy for Wren to justify hanging onto Littrell until the end of the season.

      When are we going to hear some good news?

      Obviously, we fans do not know; how could anyone know? It maybe an excellent assumption just based on NT apparently can't keep anyone, but there is no way to verify this. I can't believe that any of the AAC teams have a substantially edge in NIL funding other than Memphis and SMU. There is something else going on other than the NIL factor. Has anyone else noticed that there are a great number of players entering the Portal, but at this time; very few have been identified as committing or signing with another team. My guess or maybe just my hope is that NT is in much better shape than the fans recognize. Players have committed whether they are transfers, high schoolers, or those that have entered the portal and not found a better home.

      Nothing is off the table per new AAC commish

      I tried this and it did NOT go over well. It probably had something to do with the timing: I said it right after the boss said "I'll be right back. I need to use the restroom."

      What I don't understand: How do we know our NIL is underfunded compared to our conference mates and other peers when the financials don't have to be publicly reported?

      Meet today's 2024-25 Mean Green???

      That is a trick question. Few players that sign at any school other than the very top tier (SEC, Big East, etc.) schools would not desire to be part of those elite programs. Likewise, by signing with any team that player has expressed his desire to play for that team. So there is no way, a kid? (player) would sign at any school if he did not want to be there. Maybe not his first choice or in his top hundred; but based on what is available to him; it was decided it was his best option.
