Well I’m Littrell’s defense it sucks to lose DeAndre Torrey for that game.  It really was the difference in us winning in my opinion.

More than just that.  Torrey bailing on the team was a big loss, but we had other productive backs that went nowhere.  The play calling in the second half was terrible; a QB keeper up the middle from like the 8 yard line, really??  No halftime adjustments to Miami, a porous defense all game that couldn't cover their main receiver, bad interceptions in the middle of decent drives, etc, etc.  A performance more like the start of last season that left a bad taste.  We lost a ton of talent in the offseason to the portal, and added very little.  This could be a very ugly lame-duck year!

We'll see how that optimism holds up Sept 3. If we lose to SMU yet again with a new coach and players, everyone should be calling for Littrell's head.

You know Jim Leavitt is still the DC there (year 2 now) and Rhett Lashlee (a Malzahn disciple) was the architect of SMUs offense that really took off as OC in 2018-19.  The transition could not be smoother.   

Taking off the Green-tinted glasses... SMU is the first game.  We won't even have the FCS warm-up game to work on any kinks.  They're going to kill us.

Sad thing is I wish Leavitt was coaching for us.  He’s a good coach IMO.

Which will make it worse that a 7th year head coach gets blown out by a first year head coach instilling his own system (as similar as it may be to what they just had). We lose that game or get destroyed, everyone should blow up the Athletic Department calling for Littrell’s head

      McNeese road trip?

      Is anyone planning - or thinking about - a road trip to Lake Charles? I realized today I'll be there Monday the 18th - making a casino trip Sunday thru Tuesday for my wife's birthday, so why not go?! I checked out the McNeese web site - tickets are only $10 or $15, and parking is free. I'd drop a lot more than that in a casino over two hours 🤑. https://mcneesesports.com/sports/mens-basketball/schedule https://mcneesesports.com/sports/2023/10/3/basketball-ticket-info.aspx - go to "Single Game Ticket Pricing" https://mcneesesports.com/sports/2024/1/4/basketball-parking-map.aspx

      DRC: UNT hires new volleyball coach

      Does anyone know how many years Porter was signed for? Nearing the end of Year 3, the team had a tough nonconference schedule but started AAC play 3-0 only to have a mega collapse, losing their eighth of ten tonight against FAU to fall to 8-16, 5-8.I have not heard of any major injuries.

      Bye week bad?

      Interesting bit of information from the Cal/WF game. The WF coach did a study going back 20 years and the team coming off a bye week was at a disadvantage in the game following the bye week. Due to getting out of a routine…at least that’s the thought as to why.

      Army Cadets?

      I'm guessing that the reason the wing has no seats available might be that it will be filled with Army troops.
