I love the fact that we have won on the road so far b/c in the past we havent done that. It has worried me though that we havent been able to go on a big run or put teams away. We didnt exactly blow the doors off Cameron, and we have 2 point wins against JSU, SHSU, and NMSU all games where we could have put the games away. I would like to think that we are a lot better than we are playing so hopefully it will pick up soon. We need Josh to be more aggressive and take more shots on the offensive end and hopefully Collin will get out of his funk soon. How great would it be to win the next 3 and be 9-2 with UTA and MTSU coming in.

After 9 games, I still dont know how good we are. This is a game we should have won by 25 or 30. Up by 17 and cant put a team away, this is getting worrisome to me. We still havent clicked on all cylinders, we still havent gone on any big runs, its getting frustrating. Too many turnovers and too many easy transitions buckets that we gave up. Hopefully we can win these first 2 conference road games.

The other kids are on scholarship to you know. USA blew them out, but UTA, UNO, MTSU couldn't either. I'm pretty pleased where we are honestly. This is where we I thought we'd be after 9 games(though I had thought we'd play better against Houston).

USA beat them by 30 and MTSU beat them by 28.

I just dont understand how we can get up by 17 and not pull away at home? I am very happy with being 7-2, I was just hoping to be 6-3, but I didnt know every single home game was going to be so close.

Yahoo has the score of that game 80-63, or 17. Schools can get up by 17 and not put teams away, it happens all the time. Would I rather have won 25? Hell yes!

But you can throw everything out the window starting Thursday. Conference play starts and it's a whole new ballgame. Last year MTSU struggled mightily until SBC play started. Over the course of the season they found themselves and then were humming for the tournament. Alot of ball left.

I am more than happy to be 7-2 and I know what you are saying but if there was a game where we could have delivered the knockout blow and put a team away, it was tonight.

I guess we will see come this weekend but I just wish we would have had at least one blowout or semi blowout where we played a full 40 minutes and felt good about our squad.

But if we win 25 games by 2 points everytime then I will be happy.

      NIL and the Portal are killing gmg

      Or is there another explanation. I’ve never seen this place so dead. I realize it’s the off season, but it seems much slower than usual.

      Glorified Junior Colleges?

      College football has always been a food chain. The problem now is the instant movement allowed every year for players with no sit-out for transfers. Maybe if the Texas Tech's, and other mid-P4's of FBS, start feeling the pain of having star players stolen then more restrictions will happen.

      Glorified Junior Colleges?

      Wow a sobering statement indeed. This has to be having an energy effect on most programs. Will college football actually become less popular? I mean the power programs say no way, never. I am not so sure about this. It won’t go as niche as golf. But investment works 2 ways. GMG

      Glorified Junior Colleges?

      From where Jimbo Fisher sits now, after years of coaching high-level college football programs, he sees a clear divide between the well-resourced programs in the SEC, Big Ten and a few other conferences and the rest of the world of college football. He went so far as to allude to certain FBS schools functionally becoming developmental stops. “Here’s what’s happening, all of your mid-majors and a lot of your not-mid-majors, I’m going to say some of your ACC, Big 12, old Pac-12, some of those leagues, they’re becoming glorified junior colleges,” Fisher said. “And some of those teams used to battle for playoffs and have great teams. They took that three-star guy or that four-star guy you missed and they developed him into a heck of a player and he became a great player at their school. Fisher used arguably the best football player currently alive to make his argument: Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who was drafted out of Texas Tech with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. “How about Patrick Mahomes at Texas Tech? Would he have ever stayed at Texas Tech? Somebody would have came and got him,” Fisher said. “You know what I’m saying? And what’s happening, your haves are out there saying, ‘OK, I need a corner and I need a tackle and I need a running back.’ And they’re going to these four-year schools and just selecting, and those guys are really becoming glorified junior colleges, and it’s a shame. I mean great college football programs that have won big in the past and have had tremendously great players. But that what’s changed.” Link: https://www.on3.com/news/jimbo-fisher-claims-some-conferences-are-becoming-glorified-junior-colleges/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2rlzMeo_cEPD6TpbFAWoEUVqgpt_yqatMT52gyT6HICo_nyEvr2nFGOKc_aem_AfsuZvKQBBs_SzhuB_qg2qO7ZdN1vheq_Ks56BhKzhGA_HOPkEAyCuXzJk-zHgdQwWoqZ88nbNvoDCh4vmow0o4n
