Jake Roberts with a nice touchdown catch. https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/41169617

Don’t kid yourself, their quarterback’s inaccuracy saved us at least 2 touchdowns.

Nice to see Trice back at Apogee even it is on the wrong sideline.

Legend

I agree with him. The cost isn’t justifiable with a tight athletic budget like they have. Football drives the bus and I bet Colby Carthel’s program could go a long way on an extra million or so each season.

Crazy that he was in the same recruiting class as KD Davis

Oh sorry, I was talking about Cleveland’s stat line.

Stat line says 8 for 78 yards.

I think Isaiah Johnson and Trey Cleveland played a big part.

He didn’t start for North Texas in game 1 either, ULM probably had the same thought last season. https://ulm.forums.rivals.com/threads/update-on-notable-players-who-left-ulm-after-2022.11511/ Can only see the first post but you can imagine their glee when he didn’t start and also stunk it up when he did see the field against Cal. I bet Chandler Rogers is wiping his tears with twenties. Whether he plays another down ever, you cannot turn down that kind of money at his age.

He kind of was. I’d bet almost anything that if Chandler Morris would have been available for spring ball they would not have talked Stone into backing out of his ACU return. He got used and I can’t blame him if he is bitter, I would be too.

Did you look at the date of the article? The new head coach of the Chargers doesn’t know Jalen Guyton from the man in the moon. He did make the Raiders practice squad though.

Also, Nate Brooks was cut by the Bengals. Tough day for the green guys but at least Jeff held his spot for now.

Quarterback? Maybe. Player? No.

Well said

But you have to give him credit for helping create those expectations in the first place. Remember, he inherited this https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2015/10/10/9494755/portland-state-vikings-football-washington-state-north-texas-fcs-win-records

If you really believe that Dickey didn’t deserve to get fired in 2006, you didn’t sit through that 7OT FIU game.

Good post. I will chill out for awhile.

I can’t believe some of you think this coach is the answer to taking us to ten win seasons, bowl wins, and conference championship game wins. If he even gets to where Littrell left us I will be shocked.

I wouldn’t say that he had peaked necessarily, I would say that he built a phenomenal original staff and his early success was ultimately his downfall. If he went (and remember he inherited a team that went 1-11 and got disemboweled by Portland State on homecoming) 4-8, 4-5, 5-7, 6-6, 8-5, 9-3, and 9-3 instead of 5-7, 9-3, 9-3, 4-8, 4-5, 6-6, and 7-5 that he would still be here. You may be right on the new era of recruiting but I still disagree. I think Littrell and Bennett fought well to stop tampering and hold on to players. They were able to keep one of our best linebackers ever when he had offers from the Big12 and SEC. I just don’t see what leads anyone to believe this guy is such a great coach outside of his riding Cam Ward’s coattails for a season or two.

How sad is it that 2 years ago we were in the CUSA championship game with 7 wins and now we are just wishing for 6 so we can be bowl eligible again? We fired a guy who hit that mark in 4 out of his 7 seasons here including his last 2 seasons. If 6 is acceptable then I am disgusted with this program because the whole reason for firing Littrell was to bring in someone that could do better, not the same or worse. I barely know anyone on this roster and I am not impressed with our coaching staff outside of Patrick who was a holdover from the last staff. I have never been less enthusiastic about the start of a Mean Green season.

l look at this schedule and see 4-8 or 3-9.

You say these things as if we are other schools. A .500 season is historically good for us. You think just because we put a few more resources into football that we should just be great all of a sudden but guess what, almost every other program has stepped up their resources too and some of them don’t have the reputation of being a coaching graveyard. This is why we have to overpay for scrubs like Morris. Littrell had us on the rise, yes it was painfully slow, but we improved every year after the disastrous Bodie Reeder experiment. Some got impatient and now it seems we are back to going in the typical Mean Green direction, down.
