Did you know that Jeffery Williams has 13 rushing TDs for us?? Why hasn't THAT GUY been starting over Wilson and Ivery??

Very begrudgingly rooting for CUSA-mate. Really a win-win situation, though. Or lose-lose, I suppose.

I re-read what I wrote. What I said was not that this girl was drowning children, I said that suggesting that there is "never" a circumstance where x, y, or z is okay is an exaggeration. I said we shouldn't be so hyperbolic and, ironically, the response I received was monumentally hyperbolic. I clearly said he should receive punishment and it's likely that the punishment he received wasn't appropriate. I agree that a smart, good, well-rounded person walks away when they get slapped. I don't disagree with you there, but I don't think you fully processed and considered what I'm saying. At the very least, it appears that the message you took away from what I said was VASTLY different from the message I was conveying.

Alright, let me preface all this by saying that I believe no respectable person would lose their cool like this and, if you did, it should haunt your conscience pretty much forever. And regardless of society's shifting stance on the matter (and whether it's right or wrong), I personally treat women different than men in many circumstances. But for the sake of playing Devil's Advocate and holding a mirror up to our words, I'll say: Easy with the hyperbole. It [shouldn't be] so black-and-white in today's world. What he said is in line with what many women's rights activists would say. I noticed the phrase you elected to use here. Is that truly how broadly it should be applied? So if it were a let's say 5'6" 150 lb guy who took the first swing at this, I don't know, 6'0" 200 lb guy, the bigger guy should still just take it on the chin? Also curious - what if this kid was raised in a home where his father beat his mother? That doesn't mean that hitting is suddenly the right way to solve arguments, but it could mean that it's the only way he's ever seen it done. So is he crazy and worthless then, or does it mean he needs better mentoring? Again, mentoring shouldn't necessarily mean a full ride scholarship, but maybe the time and effort put into punishing him should be appropriate but minimal and the time and effort put into making him better should be great. there is a comedian I like who actually addresses this specific statement. He says, "so let's say your wife is drowning your three kids when you get home. She's already got one and two when you get there and she's starting on number three. Could you give her a little smack then?" Dark, I know, but the point, again, is that it's not so black-and-white as we commonly make it seem on social media. And yeah, I am astounded that this occurrence didn'the result in a posse being formed, considering it happened in Oklahoma. I hope life brings him the punishment he deserves (but he also learns to be a better person) and I hope she quickly finds peace and a happy life. Again, I just wanted to point out that we watched sixty seconds of video, deemed him "evil", her "innocent", and silently agreed to chastise anyone who spoke a remotely different narrative. That is a sillily simplistic approach to an incredibly complex world. Just my two (or so) cents.

I'll come to both. No need to fight over me...

Should be me plus two!

If Morris does end up playing the majority of the snaps, that'll be nice for him. He didn't come in and blow away the competition like everyone hoped he would, but as far as a nice little bow at the end of a story goes, it would be nice for him to go out on a high note. Fine has three or four more years to be amazing. That being said, I am assuming we'll win. I might not be so chill about it if I were less confident.

Someone mentioned this in another thread, but its worth adding for the purpose of your thread: The Navy game against Temple will, evidently, have huge implications. We want to root for Temple because if Navy wins it could potentially delay the announcement of bowl games for several days since they'd technically be in the running for the CFP.

Exactly this. That was a great (and insightful) article. Of course, I say do it the right way and get what you can. But I would not want to be in the hypothetical shoes of the coaches in that article. I can only hope that our university leadership realize that losing comes at a cost, but so does winning.

Surely everyone paid the $7 to stream it at home.

I remember him tweeting a picture of gear that The Wren had sent him a while back. Said something about loving his new Mean Green gear. So that's nice.

Can't imagine our offense being that productive, so I'm hoping our defense just balls out. Hoping for the first win with fewer than 21 points this season. Good eagles - 20 Bad eagles - 17

Hey BTG_Fan1, The top quote is the latest I heard and posted about in another topic. I think the season opener next year would be optimistic yet plausible. jdennis82, I would love it if you were right. Side Show Joe, I included you too, in case you weren't already aware.

When I read the title, I knew what the record would be for before I even opened it. Sad day. Resilient SOB, though...

It just kills me for UTSA to bring in a new guy at the same time as us (also after a terrible season) and they're working on having the #1 recruiting class in the conference while we're at #9 and, seemingly, falling. We're paying the big bucks now and, as happy as we are with the on-the-field results and leadership initiative, we should expect big-bucks results. Maybe it's unrealistic for us to be middle-of-the-pack in recruiting this season, but I'd rather be demanding that than saying "ah, it'll probably happen next year or the one after" and find ourselves still at #9 in CUSA in recruiting 5 years from now.

Kidding! Just poking fun because humor helps me hide my shame and anger. hahahaha... Someone send help.

Jared Moseley RT this just now and, with all the subtweeting recently, I found it interesting (if you choose to speculate).

I guess that's to be expected, but man...we're #9 in recruiting in CUSA? Like, I didn't expect to be #1 in this crew's first full recruiting cycle, but at least middle of the pack, especially sitting at .500. Seems like it'll hurt us more than a lot of teams to lose recruits.

I was damn close on my guess for Army, so I'll do it again for superstition's sake: North Texas - 45 Redneck/Cajun hybrids - 24

This may be something of a generational thing (as in generations of students/fans, not the traditional sense). I was in the stands on the student side both times UTSA has been to Apogee and their team is garbage people. I consider the rivalry with UTSA just as potent as that with SMU and I'm sure many people from my class or later consider UTSA a much more significant rival. Simply because that is the team that we have had more memorable interactions with. They don't have any love lost for us and we have a glowing, red-hot DISDAIN for them. Unless something memorable happens with SMU (or UTSA keeps beating us - please no), then UTSA will probably become the more meaningful rivalry to UNT students.
