I didn’t miss anything. I invested, I am concerned about the defense. I will still travel to Denton, to watch parties and away games. Ive been doing that since ‘86. I don’t expect everyone to be sunshine and daffodils but there is some negative juju on this site for a team that never quit. We got blown out by smu and cal. The guys played hard and through some disbelief from the fans all year, me included. They finished on a high note. I’m celebrating an end of a season win rather than a disappointing bowl loss. No apoligies Fix the deficiencies in 2024 and keep building. GMG

Weirdest 5 win season ever. We’ve won 5 and it’s felt like mission accomplished and we’ve won 5 and it’s felt completely hollow. This is on the hollow side. But it’s still my patch. Still my logo. Still my team. I dragged myself to Denton often in wins and losses and it sucked more than it was fun. I watched at watch parties with disillusion and excitement. Again a strange 5 win season. But when it was good it was fun. I am hopeful for the future. Glad I invested in 2023 because the payoff will be sweet. GMG

An F for Morris is too low. I am disappointed but was highly entertained this season. Now this does not mean next year is better. It will be beast. Don’t know our schedule but if we have to go to UAB UTSA Memphis and get a visit from Tulane. I don’t know where 6 wins come from. But to complete the weirdest 5 win season I have ever been through with the Mean Green, and rallying the troops for two gut grit wins to end the season. He at least deserves a C. Hopefully he learned his lesson that you can’t lose in September and expect a stadium full of fans in October and November. It all hinges on September. Jared pleas press this and plan activities that get people there for 11a and 3p games in 98 degree heat. Swallow it. Prepare for it. Win it. Keep the MG Nation engaged in 2024. GMG

AAC needs NY6! Way to go Mean Green! Roll Green Wave. GMG

I’m rooting for smu on Saturday. I think smu Tulane would be a good game. But I also believe Tulane is peaking at the right time and will beat the ponies. Today was a fun watch. beat uab GMG

Is this EM’s playbook? Did Incaranate Word improve year to year under him? If so, this is just his tendency playing out. 1. Beat UAB first. 2. Feel encouraged because we played a tougher schedule than our comp set and fell one game short of bowling. GMG

Absolutely approved of the whole look today. Green and white score line to boot. GMG

Yeah. Memphis is going to give them a bash to the head on the way out of the conference. Tulane vs Memphis for the conference championship. Is that a possibility? Tulane wins and reps but loses NY6. Though the stakes feel empty, can’t change my prediction, we beat Tulsa and UAB to finish 5-7. Caponi returns with extreme pressure on both he and Eric in 2024. They could both be gone in a year or prepping for a bowl game. 12 months flys by with pressure like that. Traylor heads to A&M but is mandated to bring in strong Coordinators to makeup for lack of his national name recognition. Love in that interview he speaks to how important a University A&M is to our State. He’s going to charm them into the gig with some parameters and mandates beat Tulsa GMG

Until we win one or two of these past 4 games I won’t believe it. Close was Dodge, close is Eric. Now I do think we beat Tulsa and UAB to finish 5-7. That frankly makes it more confusing because we didn’t beat one of the big 4. And while I am hopeful of this 2-0 record that UAB squad could be better than I give them credit for. See the thread on our opponents W/L records. Also see that Tulsa Tulane game. Either way we need to be ruthless at this point. Fire Caponi fix the defense and continue strengthening this nationally potent offense. Cannot hold back anymore. You seize your chances (Caponi) or get your chances elsewhere. All eyes on you Eric. This is your chance too. GMG

What I take from that is that Rice has made a solid leap up. gmg

Awwwww man I love that Oregon coach. His aggressive play calling is wild. Dude looks like a madman player on the sideline. Yeah, Aggies gonna have options for sure. beat Tulsa GMG

Aggies need to go get Traylor. Dude can scoop up every Texas talented player and they would save some money after the huge payout. Rumor has it Jeff is an Aggie guy. But is the name big enough? Dude can work the portal. Has extreme connections with local coaches and kids. Could recruit the country selling ice cream to an Eskimo. Interesting watch down in College Station. GMG

Has Caponi been released yet? I thought as soon as we became non-bowl eligible he would be let go. This was a wasted season. Man what a disaster Neal has on his hands. Jared, Eric…it doesn’t seem like it should be this bad but it is. How on earth do you rebuild energy for this entire athletic department. Can’t have the money maker program shutting down in 14 days for too many years in a row. Those extra 3 weeks and planning for Frisco made all the difference in the world. So bizarre this season. The end is usually a disaster with new head coach coming in. This just fees long. September feels forever away. Glad I never have to watch us lose in Ford again or to smu in football again. gmg #fixit

If we finish 5-7 then this season played how many of us thought it would, maybe a win better. The FIU game kept us from going bowling. I see the people saying constant change is bad. I agree. But who’s to say he doesn’t lose players in the portal or other key peeps leave. Our schedule will most likely be tougher next year with Memphis. UTSA and year 2 UAB on the road. This is so messed up because it’s a crapshoot. Fire him start over, suck. Leave him, tougher schedule, players leave, stink. I don’t want to wait another handful of years to go bowling again. I bet morris keeps him and goes down or soars with the ship. beat smu GMG

1. Dave Aranda - let him recoup rebuild focusing on one side of the ball. 2. Phil Bennett - is he bored yet? Is his wife ready for a break again. 3. Skip Holtz. 4. Or get that Troy guy getting experience now and bring in Patterson as a consultant. Go Big here. Morris is building a world class offense. Get someone off the couch - send CY in for the close. GMG

77-38 ponies. gmg

It’s ugly. Again black moniker on ESPN. We are telling the world our colors are black and white with green piping. What are we doing? Diminishing our brand by choice. Sorry UTSA looked sharp in their combo. We had to be even hotter in that dark jersey. We have a beautiful green. Our stadium should look like Tennessee and pop with all of us in our signature gear. where is the leadership to protect the brand and image. Get on the horn with ESPN tell them no more dominant black score lines. Tell the players they get black dominant unis one or two times in the month of October. Color code the fans: cal wear green acu wear white Temple wear green memphis wear black UTSA wear green uab wear white Look some of the Gameday efforts are good. Tvs on the mound, the pub inside Datcu, female emcee has booming enthusiastic voice - Eric is just keeping it from being appreciated and taking off. After living through this season I feel it’s a blown opportunity. These supposed super teams in our league are not Bama, Georgia and LSU. We should be going bowling this year. I believe we fall short at 5-7. Bummer. GMG

Silly bird. How are we only one touchdown worse than you? San Antonio oh San Antonio. beat smu. GMG

I’m loving this. Ain’t gonna miss the pony. Let’s send them out with an L. GMG

I love watching this gamer. I feel so confident in the second halves of games. If we ever figure this out he will bring butts in seats and excitement like we haven’t had in years. GMG

I used to say that these losses were still entertaining. Now they’re just making me incredibly frustrated. I’m trying not to feel like we’re living through the Dodge years again, but every passing week makes me feel like we’re about to relive one of the darkest eras of Mean Green football. How you choose to come out onto that field and get punched in the mouth is beyond me. San Antonio is going to be no bueno. You know the drill, Harris up by 28 at half, UNT loses 52-49. And then pony isn’t going to play around. Love their D. Bloodbath on the boulevard. gmg

SMU noticed our quarterback, and all of a sudden we have their attention. Beat Memphis! GMG

Just change the helmet and I liked black when it was a novelty. I lived the Helwig years where Cooper and Navy made its way into our look. I feel black is doing the same thing. Becoming our dominant color like Texas Tech. Even our score line looked bizarre in black. Now when they showed the green SOW on white cutting to commercials, that’s our look. The helmet is terrible for tv. But another entertaining loss. Proud of the boys today. The worm will turn and we’ll start winning these games. Can’t go into 21-0 holes. Beat Memphis GMG

Since I couldn’t cheer on our Mean Green in person I watched several other games traveling on planes and through airports on Saturday. The Oregon Washington game was awesome. Two legit powers, two stud quarterbacks. Both those teams are going to make the Big 10 stronger! Didn’t see that coming before this season. Oh and USC will struggle because they don’t like physical under Lincoln. Notre Dame and Freeman were due for a big win. They played with their hair on fire and outmuscled USC, a first. Crazy what a good transfer quarterback can make. Thank you Chandler. LSU is putting it together on both sides of the ball, like we seem to be doing from week to week. They might win the West but they do have to travel to Tuscaloosa. Love how Alabama just finds a way. The great Saban will be influencing this years playoffs, already has. It’s may be fall, but it’s fixin to get really hot down in college station. You know what Ags, there’s this very good coach down in San Antonio who loves your program and knows how to work with top Texas talent. Could Aranda end up the Alamo city? Lincoln in maroon? Riley is sly. Michigan looks like the number one team and could win it all this year. They will beat THE Ohio State University again. And who is Penn State? They are always hard to figure out. White out at night a dream game to see along with Army Navy. Arizona is salty. Almost beating USC and shellacking Wazzu. Schizophrenic team flying below the radar. Colorado is cooked for 2023. I will not miss Prime Time and Swifty drama when it all settles down. Man I love the Mormons, but what happened in Fort Worth. Did not see that coming. Cincinnati feels way off this year. The Mean Green are hungry for a Big Win, another statement victory. Could that happen in the Big Easy or Highland Park? Or in Denton against the Birds or Tigers? We will know soon enough. Keep on growing and having fun. Outside of following our fantastic W, I LOVED the Big Sky at Night game. Took me back to our Sun Belt days in the Kibbie Dome where some memorable wins were earned. Never went to Moscow, but the whole scene is so bizarre it’s cool. Throw in the border war rivalry and I was glued to that game like the old PAC 12 late starts. I have a feeling I’m getting ready to learn about the Big Sky Conference more than I ever thought I would. I love our “costume changes” as someone referred to our uni obsession, but I love soccer too and that’s something I look forward to each year. A minimum of 3 new adjusted kits each year. It’s money genius. Oh and the FIU unis were creatively slick. Back to traditional uniforms the Griz helmet and look stands the rest of time. I see that traditional combo and think “Winners.” Back to Bobby Hauck, I really like him. Solid coach. Watched him at UNLV when living in sin city. Good overall guy kind of like Seth with a bit more zest. Loved seen him and the guys go wild on the last second turnover and Idaho stop. We will migrate back to regional rivalries it’s good for the sport and fans. Awwwwww I love this time of year. The next few weeks are going to be intense and an emotional rollercoaster for sure. GMG

Crazy as a fox is right. Now I’m curious who they play and since I’ll be airborne I’ll be looking for it on the inflight Wi-Fi. Buffs keep surprising. Beat Temple GMG
