Being just a redshirt sophomore, I think we all had too high of expectations for this kid going into the season because it seems like he has been here forever.

BUT...after some games where he struggled, it seems he is figuring this whole game out a little, and this guy's future could be brighter than any of us could have eve thought. Look what he has done the last couple of games...my gosh!

@ Troy...31 of 38 for 331 and 2 TDs

v. Monroe...23-39 for 332 and 3 TDs

This guy has not played his best ball yet...that is still to come. He still has two years to mature and get better...it is a good time to be Green

I was leery of Thompson at times, myself forgetting that this is his first year to play significant reps at this level, but he is going to make me a believer, and can't wait to see what this guy does as a senior

Great win. Fantastic game by Thompson, and very excited for him. The Mean Green took care of business against a team they should have beaten.

That being said, Derek lit up the worst pass defense in the Belt tonight--as he should have. Keep that in mind for the remaining games. Which will be tougher.

Again--great win tonight.

I hope DT continues to play well, improve and exceed expectations. If he does then I won't have to see any more of McNulty (sp) getting meaningful reps instead of Ozzy. Every time we bring in the back up QB's my stomach turns for more than one reason. Coach Mac is big on preaching integrity, and other character qualities, but when our back up QB's are playing I'm forces to look at Coach Mac's judgement and integrity.

Go Mean Green!!

Thompson has shown what he is capable of and he will be a top SBC QB heading into next season. I am worried about the hits/concussions he's taken this season. Hopefully, our offensive line play will continue to improve as we add new and talented "big uglies" to the roster. Our freshmen have been outstanding this season.

Well how the hell do you expect him to sleep this week knowing that? I swear, if we lose because we are unprepared, it's on you and this post.

Thompson won the Sun Belt Player of the week.

It was the fifth-best single-game completion percentage by an FBS quarterback with a minimum of 30 attempts this season.

Thompson was responsible for three touchdowns in the game - two passing and one rushing and had a pass efficiency rating of 166.9. He threw for 331 yards and had 16 yards rushing for a total of 347 yards. Thompson completed 17 consecutive passes in the game - just six shy of an NCAA record.

He also became just the third player in school history to have two, 300-yard passing games over a three-game stretch.

Very, very impressive. Congrats DT!

      Javion was my pick as well followed closely by Mitchel, just to see what he could accomplish under a good coach.

      A-Scott Projected to OU

      St. Johns is one of the great sleeping giant jobs in the nation. They have a fantastic basketball history (they haven't been that great for the last generation or so, but the Johnies do have a helluva tradition) going back about 80 years and they play in NYC at MSG.

      Recent Past With all the excitement over Tylor Perry we quickly forgot about the best player from our recent past. The stats and awards bear it out. In my mind the answer is Javion Hamlet. No other player has accomplished what he has. https://meangreensports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/javion-hamlet/4731 Imagine what he would have accomplished if the 2020 NCAA Tournament had not been cancelled. We won the Conference in 2020 and arguably that was the best team we have ever had.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      A majority of schools could just vote to dissolve the ACC. There would be a court fight, but eventually schools that want out will be released with some greatly reduced financial penalty. It's like a divorce, you can't keep someone in an unhappy relationship, even with a contract. It will happen probably before the end of next year at the pace things are moving.
