This defense deserves a better QB. Rick

Idiot barley threw a pass in the second half. What a joke. I really just made this post so I could watch two dancing cats at once. Sorry.

OMG you can't be that clueless????? Detroit was held to 240 yards passing and 63 yards rushing after being given a short field the entire second half. The Lions didn't make their first 1st down unti

Troll so deep, troll so hard.

Every time I watch a Cowboys game, I just laugh and think of FFR's assurance Romo was the problem and the really good defense would carry us.

Well, I'm not defending that entirely, especially the way the defense has played But Romo has yet to put this team on his shoulders like

many others have?

My beef with him is that he has brain farts when the pressure is on and a ho hum, oh well attitude when they lose.

It's not just him. The whole team seems like losing doesn't bother them, from Garrett on down.

Are you asking us or telling us?

What more do you want from Romo? He was 68% (21/31) passing with 321 yards and 4 TDs and no interceptions with a passer rating of 141.3. Seems like he did a lot to try to win the game. He averaged 10.4 yards per pass. If the defense could have gotten a stop or Garrett could have managed the clock better, he did what he needed to to win. Romo was not the problem in this game.

Romo has had his "No Tony no!" moments over the years but I am convinced that Romo is surrounded by a team that has a big bag of nothin for the most part. Guys on the team are 'just guys'. Again this goes back to Jerry over the years and what he's done to put talent on the field through the draft. I think the Cowboys need to draft gritty guys that play like pit bulls. There's a lot of style but not much substance. This past off season might have been the start of a starting over process and going young and emphasizing more of a rebuilding/retooling mantra but I am curious to see what they do this off season and how they draft.

Are you saying Romo is a diamond surrounded by poo-poo?

I laid this last game at the defense's feet. But I expect him or someone else on this team to be a leader. Sure he's had some great games. But he's flopped in others.

I just don't see a sense of urgency from this team. It's not all Romos fault. But at some point someone has to stand up and start calling people out? Every championship team has this. Dallas doesn't.

And I wouldn't call this team a championship team. We don't have the will, determination, talent, or coaches. Romo is the least of our problems.

Welp, Cows being the Cows. Romo sucking in a big game. No one making plays in December. This may be a 30 point loss before all is said and done. Sad that they can't even make it competitive.

This team will be nothing until the current owner no longer owns the team.

Funny how it comes back full circle. As I predicted, biggestgame of the season and Romo misses an easy wide open receiver on the first possession. Then on the second decent scoring chance he forgets where he is and throws over the line blowing an easy first down on the giants end of the field.

Lucky for him though the defense sucks as well here at the end of the season and no one will remember those plays. The defense is no where near to playing at the same level they were playing when this team beat the niners. Terrence Newman must be replaced.

But it doesn't matter, really, as we saw last Saturday when the Arkansas Sludge Bucket cut Jason Garrett's nuts in front of everyone on the sideline. This team won't win another championship till that sucker takes a dirt nap.

Romo sucking? That's what you're seeing?

He, along with many, many others, are sucking horribly.

Just once, I'd like him to have a big game when something, anything was on the line.

This is just an average football team that's main achievement is underachievement, including it's QB.

And yes, 64 passing yards in the first half is sucking.

I guess I could always pat myself on the back for predicting the 8-8 record.

They were never alive in this game. The Giants just simply took a breath.

Can't finish in the 4th, can't finish in the last 1/4 of the season. Just substitute Dallas Cowboys for Lebron in all those jokes.

Romo again will put up decent, but very empty, numbers in this game. Another big game, another failure.

I meant the defense. Got the ball right back for them on a three and out after the 4th and 1 play. I thought Lee came to play tonight.

      How Mean Green softball is shaping up in 2025 and beyond

      In my relatively short time as a Mean Green fan, I don't think I've seen a team so carried by seniors. This weekend's series was the last three games at Lovelace for 10 Mean Green seniors, and all but one (Truitt) was either an everyday starter or saw significant playing time. Here's who will be returning barring any transfers. All classifications are what they will be in 2025. Likely starters (in my opinion) Rylee Nicholson (SR) - UT Cierra Simon (SR) - SS Madison Conley (SO) - UT Tatum Sparks (JR) - UT Elizabeth Moffitt (SO) - C Jodie Epperson (JR) - OF Returning Pitching Staff Skylar Savage (SR) Mackenzie Childers (JR) Kayleigh Smith (SO) Returning, but will they play? Mikaela Olguin (JR) - OF Emma Grahmann (SR) - IF Blayze McNemar (SO or RS-F?) - OF Maci George (SO or RS-F?) - IF There doesn't appear to be a website to find commits for softball, so through social media, here are the incoming freshmen I have found: Katy Brock, OF, Mabank Shelby Buffington, P, Franklin Page (Tennessee) Rylie Harris, C, Forney Gracie Mahoney, P, Macomb Dakota (Michigan) - another 6 footer, like Skylar Ausha Moore, IF, Carl Albert HS (Midwest City, OK) Taylor Platt, OF, Argyle Committed Inbound Freshmen for 2026 Eva Daniels, IF, Forney Laila Nobles, IF, Pearland Addie Perry, UT/C, Aledo Love the Metroplex talent we are bringing in. Forney's currently the #1 team in the state. But looks like we still have a handful of spots to fill next year. Going to need to improve the hitting and power. Maybe we can land some home run threats in the portal who want to get closer to home. I'll post stories and highlights of the commits shortly.

      Hopefully after a few more years we will all be more accepting of heartbreak. I got used to it in high school.

      Yes, foolish us fans for thinking players are here in the program and loyal to the school.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      It's easier for us to say it's fun since we're not the ones who have to recruit an entire new team every year, but it's honestly exciting to see how the new team is built. The max exodi of beloved players sucks, but in this new age losing guys like TP, Drez, Rubin and Aaron doesn't have to mean a several-year rebuild. Now we can "retool" and even get better. I think this year was more of a gut punch because it felt to me and many others that Rubin and Aaron were Mean Green for life. They've been the constant leaders throughout the past turnover. But even healthy we weren't the most talented team in the conference. And I trust Hodge. The past seven years Grant and Hodge have run a clean program and as much as I love the guys who have played for us, I trust Hodge and Forte will continue recruiting players who will be good representatives of the university, even if only for a year. I also agree we need two more PF's - at least one who can space the floor shooting 3's. Assuming we have at least three scholarships left, so assume we'll see another guard. I'd like to see us bring on one guy who's averaged 18PPG or more. Doesn't matter which position though it'd be a nice changeup for it to be a high scoring big man.

      The last home games of the 2023-24 school year

      Weather has become a factor in a lot of games this season. Wet spring has really made this softball season pleasant. Feel like we had several 90+ degree games last season.
