Just to split hairs,

College Football News puts out an annual ranking where it looks at

D1 wins, Conference wins, Good wins (winning record/bowl teams), Elite wins (ranked teams), bad losses (d1aa/3 win or less teams), attendence, number of draft picks.

Even if you were to use the stats you list above, we're still not anywhere close to being a world beater. I think you can count on 2 hands the number of wins we've had against teams with a winning record. I'm not sure any players under DD tenure have been draft picks either. Again, we've never even come close to sniffing out an Elite win.

Those are some pretty objective indicators.  The anti-Dickey crowd continue to pick'n choose which stats they want to use to make their argument (offense). 

I also think the anti-DD offense is mute discussion.  One, if the season goes in the tank there are going to be personel changes.  Two, DD health may force the issue.

Our offense has never been anything to write home about. We've always been towards the bottom of NCAA Div 1A list on the offensive stat sheet.

So why don't you sit back, shut up and enjoy the game.  If you really hate the coach so much then put your money where your mouth is an give to the new coach fund.  But don't try to stack the stats in your favor, because the numbers clearly tell a different story.

You mean watching us throw WR screens (did anyone see JQ get leveled against FIU ... geeze) and hopeless hands offs up the middle into a wall of defenders? I'd rather travel 20 minutes down I-540 to see a much more exciting offense then drive 7 hours to watch us flop around hoping to score and then praying we can keep the lead.

Finally, let's keep one thing in mind ...

Past Performance is No Guarantee of Future Results

      Morris signals it is over

      Unfortunately this comment by the head coach at UNT is going to appear defeatist and will do nothing to motivate students, fans or players. Wish it had been some other school’s head coach. Awful publicity for UNT.

      Morris signals it is over

      Morris didn't say anything that most of us haven't already said or felt. Quite frankly, what he said has been true for a lot longer than many of us want to admit. Our lack of commitment to athletics (whether you want to blame it on administration, students, alumni, or realistically all of the above) has set us back and has been an issue for years. It still hasn't changed, and it's going to continue to come back to bite us for years to come. There has to be a clear divide at some point, even though I would argue there's been a fuzzy divide for a long time. It's just a matter of time at this point that it becomes crystal clear. We are not going to be in the top tier of that divide. Our stakeholders (I use this broadly and there are clear exceptions) have made that choice over however many years now. It's just going to finally come to a head.

      If the basis for this is simply "not Power conference", then sure. The scholarship allotments suggest difference is level of play, though. I know NIL has negated a lot of that at the current P5/G5 level, but I would think that once you get past a certain point, outside the bubble of the P4, the impact of NIL could be watered down and you will still see scholarship limits play into the level of competition in front of you.

      Softball Tournament Bracket

      After UAB swept us in the regular season, then proceeded to win more games we needed them to lose, and lose games we needed them to win, it's nice for ECU to put an end to their season. Hopefully we can win our fourth straight against the Pirates tomorrow.

      Seton Hall star Kadary Richmond enters transfer portal

      If her team doesn't win, her market value and name recognition will quickly decline. The team as a whole and coach make the value.
