At least Mike Leach has the balls to admit when he calls a bad game. I admire that. DD essentially resorts to "my game plan is too complex for this team." You know, the ole' Texas two step shuffle where you criticize yourself using a positive quality. Although I do seem to recall an article today that DD said they were "out coached." Bottom line: our offensive coordinator should be immediately fired today for that offensive atrocity and total lack of preparation and creativity.

I know I am going to get laughed off this board for this, but...... I feel sorry for Meager now. Somehow DD found a way to make Woody look like a half-ass QB last night - and Woody was SEC recruited. From what I hear, Meager was a top recruited QB in Texas until an injury - Meager obviously had talent before joining DD & Co. My biggest fear is that Wilson will end up like Meager - coached/molded into a below average QB. After last night's horrendous, worse than high school football play calling, I publicly apologize to Meager for anything I've said. I know now that this was not his fault. Meager (and Wilson) are a victims of poor coaches that suck the life out of any talent our QB’s have. I know how hard Meager trained these past 2 seasons, and to end up on ESPN in that photo.... I really feel for you Meager.

Oh sh*t! I'm rolling over laughing.. this is so funny. Should we post these around campus? .... my mood is improving.. thanks for the laugh.

I know it is hard to get excited about anything with the loss, but my initial observations (without reviewing any stats) is that our defense play a hell of a game. They kept Tulsa to 7 in the first half, and allowed 21 points in the second half. Tulsa averages 34 points a game. Moreover, the MG defense played Tulsa's tricky offensive plays to near perfection in the first half. I am excited about our defense! THE PROBLEM: MG defense were constantly on the field (literally, seemed like they hardly left) b/c we'd go 3 & out, 3 & out, 3 & out....any defense will tire with that much play. Plain and simple: the defense did their job, the offense didn't do theirs.

We know DD won't get fired, but..............Last night I was so angry at DD and our offensive "plan" I was about to pull my hair out and renounce football altogether. My poor heart can take this - it must have been around 180bpm. While I cursed DD and wished him fired (among other things), I had the thought, "with our limited budget, would we end up with someone better? Would we start COMPLETELY over with a 1-12, 2-9, 3-9 record for the next 5 years while we rebuild?" ... scary stuff, but I may be ready for it. I can't take these OOC blowouts. Oh, the game finale for me: I baked Lasagna during the 4th Q as a distraction/anger reduction technique, and just as the game ended, I pulled the Lasagna out of the oven only the burn my hands and drop my entire dinner on the floor... the irony.

hilarious.. I needed some comic relief!

Damn... that sneaky bastard DD even out-foxed me. I don't think I can take this.

Did Quinn lose his catch streak? I can't remember?

This was horrendous! How can this happen? Do they not see what is going on in the field? I think Woody should ignore the called plays and call his own.. they couldn't be any worse....to hell with the coaches and their so-called offensive calls. They call the least-worst options... and even those back-fired.

Ya, but he's getting the reads done, and then hands off the ball perfectly! WOW! D1A at its best! I don't know what I am talking about....I stepped away for 10 min to cook Lasagna.. I can't take this...

Hey, more plays right up the middle!!

Bro - I haven't seen anything that Joe Montana could work with. This is lame play calling. Woody didn't do much better.

I'll retract this sarcastic statement. Meager is also victim of poor play calling.

yep... we have a 190.5 rated QB in Woody and top 20 nationally rated receiver in Quinn... and we are hesitant to throw

You got it right.. how do we blame Meager from last season?

This is silly. I see now what all the veterans in this forum have been saying..

I knew it.. Meager in.

Tulsa announcers just said, "how long is UNT just going to be basic and go three and out? Maybe it is time they be aggressive." jeeeezz.

I think 6 last time I heard.. may be wrong.. I seem to recall 5/6 for Woody.

no comment needed.

In hindsight, we had a similar first half against SMU. We came out and dominated the 2nd half afterwards. Let's hope the coaches make the necessary offensive adjustments. Our defense looks pretty damn good in this first half!

I hope this is the case, b/c they will take notice of UNT.

I've really touted Woody on the boards. So far, 3 points and 1 interception. Great defensive game though! Do you think DD will start Meager (or Phillips) in the 2nd half? Or give Woody the opportunity to generate points? I say give Woody more plays. This is a close game and Meager won't have any time to get comfortable.... every play counts.

I've tried everything... no full screen.. I even switched from the Tulsa website broadcast to the CSTV direct broadcast... no luck... Oh well... I'm just happy to see the game in my mini-screen.

that's why I asked it in a question. I started guessing where our running plays were going... could have been sheer luck.
