Don't know what the buyout is on the 3 years left on his contract but I promise you we don't have the money to buy him out and hire a quality candidate to replace him.

That's fine to not like the uniforms they picked. Probably not my favorite either but your sarcastic "great work guys" was uncalled for. Everyone is welcome to their opinions but just don't put someone else's down.

They let the seniors pick out what they wanted to wear for the last home game. Let it go.

Morris said he practiced this week.

We needed to be better in all 3 phases!

Coach Morris said in the presser that Chandler hasn't played the same since the Tulane hit. I think it is a combination of trying to force things and the shoulder hurting. Maybe a little gun shy as well. I have noticed a lot of his throws being high and that seems to point to not finishing the throwing motion. He isn't throwing the ball with the same velocity right now.

I think this group of seniors deserve to go out with a win in their last home game and expect the rest of the players will be motivated to make that happen.

Sure wish we could get some of those non power 5 teams on our schedule instead of Wayland Baptist and Texas Wesleyan.

Does anyone else think he's playing hurt? Hasn't been the same QB after taking that crushing hit on his shoulder against Tulane. He hasn't been throwing the 15 yard out routes to DT and others. That may be why we are seeing all of these screens and short passes. We really don't have a backup so he may be trying to gut it out. Morris would never say anything about it to the press. Just something to think about.

Do his teams have a record of having great defenses? I don't know much about him. No Power 5 experience as an assistant worries me a little. Fits with his Texas roots.

Wow! They must have someone with deep pockets. Pretty bold move. They aren't playing around.

Never mind. I was thinking about the East Carolina game time.

They announced that it was a 2:30pm kickoff last week. Has this changed?

Anyone know his contract status? Wonder what the buyout is. He had to be making pretty good money.

Why would we want to bring in Texas or any other close P4 team? 3/4 of the stadium would be filled with their fans. No thanks.

Some of us just love our school regardless of the outcomes. Still get angry and frustrated but it's like being a Chicago Cubs fan. You always have hope for next year. It's a sickness 🤕

I love college football and would never want us to drop the sport. I'll go to every home game because it's my school but I think it's time to shut down the football NIL and put it all into the basketball program. Play with whatever kids you can get that want a college education. I'll support them but in the new world of college athletics, basketball is the best chance to compete with the power 5 programs. Once again...it ain't easy being green!

So, what would have happened if we played Oregon State the first game of the year? Same result. They are just on another level than we are talent wise.

Not having our top 3 running backs hasn't helped. Offensive line has been disappointing.

Yet before our bye week he was leading the country in passing yards. Nobody ran him off. He had a bad day against the number one scoring defense.

As long as Hodge is here, if you don't work hard on the defensive end, you won't play much so I think we will continue to be a defense first squad. We seem to have more depth so I would like to see us press a little more this year and create easy baskets off turnovers.

My fear is even if we load the box we can't tackle. If they go with the backup QB, we may have a shot.

I would have liked to see one more good mid major at our place but our conference home schedule will be plenty tough and some great matchups.

Chandler Morris is currently ranked FIRST in the country in passing yards! He is over 100 yards ahead of Cam Ward. DT Sheffield is ranked 18th in the country in receiving yards! When was the last time we had the top passing QB in the country this far into the season? Can't remember if Mason Fine was ever ranked first. If we can just keep him healthy the rest of the way, he has a great chance to finish the year number one. None of the teams we have left on the schedule are great defensively and we all know that we have to score a ton of points to make up for the defense. Should be fun to watch.

I hate the way the NCAA lets NIL run with no rules or regulations. Unfortunately, until the system changes or we find some big money donors, our programs in football and basketball will be on a year to year basis. We won't be able to keep talented athletes and will constantly have to try to grab players that couldn't play at power 5 schools or are D2 players wanting to play up. This is not a recipe for sustainable success against bigger programs with $$$$. Army and Navy are the exceptions this year and I think it is great what they have been able to do but you see what Notre Dame did to the Midshipmen this past weekend. Coaching can take you only so far. UTSA had Harris for 8 years and now they are back in the bottom of the conference. I want us to win every game, but I understand that it isn't a level playing field right now.
