They can just replay last year's, this year won't be much different I'm afraid.

Yeah, he has no credibility, and the misinformation he puts forward just helps solidify that. As for his jokes on those uniforms, while I have my issues with them, they are not nearly as bad as he makes them out to be.

Move McCarney to AD?

He's not getting fire yet. When we lost to Portland State...maybe.

Him coming here as offensive coordinator ain't happening, and Mac has what...5 years on his deal? Don't expect a new head coach anytime soon.

Plenty of blame to go around for sure, but he was just flat out not good enough. His inaccuracy led to the interception and was a problem all day.

You've got to be kidding me. We are in trouble

No, but I don't see us sniffing 5 wins with the hot garbage I've seen so far. Very few positives if any. Mac has some explaining to do.

He's just not good.

fixed it.

And they burn a timeout with 5 seconds left in the quarter. Horrible coaching.

Breaking: McNulty sucks. Followed by maybe the worst punt I've ever seen. 15 yards.

Bad throw, bad tip by Harris. Just ugly. They've just handed this game to Rice. The secondary had been pretty terrible too.

Not great, but decent considering the rain. Late arriving, and now might be early leaving.

That was a 53 yarder...shouldn't have even been attempted. Coverage in the secondary hasn't been very good.

Turnovers and penalties are killing us. Ugly.

Kidsy with as dumb of a play as you can have on special teams, costs the team 7 points, is back out for the next kick return.

After banging my head against a wall after reading the last McCarney comments, I'll still be there. Not hopeful, but supportive.

Whew...here we go. UNTexas and UNT90 have made great points, so to elaborate... 1) It starts at the top - the BOR and presidents have not made athletics a priority or accountable when it relates to being a legit successful athletic program. 2) Culture A - My apologies to our heroic long lasting faithful fans. This might be the biggest problem. You are what you are. Changing perception is difficult. It has been an easier transition for start-up programs. This also breeds a lack of accountability. We don't have the history of an SMU, which is all they can hang their hat on, but they have it. 3) Culture B - the student body. While it has improved, it is more indicative of school spirit, which is great. But this university does not attract sports fans. No offense, and I know I'll catch hell for this, but those students choose other schools, or go to UNT and have their "real" team. So most of them aren't invested. It's social. Most bitch about paying anythin toward athletics. Sure I'll go to free games and cheer, but when I graduate I won't pay, care, support athletics. 4) Financially - I am surprised and thankful for the donors we have and the money they are willing to spend on athletics. We would be fcs in Fouts without them. But it doesn't match other programs. We are mid-cusa financially. Money isn't everything, and we should be better than what we have based on our facilities, etc., but it's not a situation that puts us over the top. Season tickets and mean green club reflect this. I am not, however, excusing blame from the sub par athletic department. 5) College Town - don't get me wrong, I love Denton. I chose to stay, and commute for work. But this is not a traditional college town that revolves around athletics. It's an artsy town close to a major market. This isn't conducive to creating a large athletics following. We have to compete with a lot of local sports. Lubbock sucks, but tech sports is the only thing for days. 6) Coaching? - When you work your way through all that, you can get to coaching. Dan is just as delusional as he is about his success as he is about the 37k students here. It's an insane number, but it's just a number. It's potential. Maybe. He has his faults, no doubt. But everything has to be weighed accordingly. How would Franchione be doing here is a more fair question. (Better? Probably?)Yall know I'm no Dan fan, but this is about it all. Todd Dodge was a huge failure here, but I always thought that kind of move is what we need to move up. It seems like smu has done it. But we don't have those pockets, and needed Mac to restart the program from scratch. I know yall will probably hate this, but I love my alma mater and I'm an unwavering fan, just trying to be honest, not belittle the support most on this site exude.

RV scheduling is bad, but there weren't going to be 2 FCS games. He scheduled Portland State after NAU "backed out" or whatever happened. That's why we had a week 1 bye instead of the week we play Portland State. I wonder if beating teams like Nichols State 77-3 had anything to do with an fcs backing out. We won't want to schedule FCS after one of them ends up beating us, and I think Portland State and Liberty have a shot.

When they fire Canales, hopefully they can find an OC with a proven track record at QB who will bring a starting QB with him.

Was Smith - who our own coaches say is the most NFL possible guy on the roster - even targeted tonight?

Hi, I'm Malonish, I'm just here to make sure you don't exaggerate the amount of fans you had from my viewpoint. Cool. I'll go back to spending way too much time on yalls board. Haha, mainly in jest bud.

Our remedial offense can't be that complicated. It's slow, and obvious as hell. I'm confused why they even need those picture boards. Do the qbs even wear a wristband of calls? Ans let's be truthful. Practice is practice. Happy feet and panic about getting hit aren't visible in practice. It's about making plays. McNulty can't do that. An every down pass competed was a big deal for him tonight.
