Could also say if the defense got 2 stops in crucial moments in the game, it would have been different. All in perspective, each side of the ball is not going to be perfect, but which side of the ball gives you the best chance to win and which is a liability to winning?

They replay ESPN2 games on ESPN+ if that's the issue.

My point was to say, if we continue to be OK with these results and moral victories, we will get nowhere.

I would summon @aztecskin to get his thoughts.

Expect more. Getting to the championship should be minimum. We have been there and done that with bowl games. It's cool to have an extra game to play, but in the grand scheme it really doesn't mean anything.

This is it right here. I think the way you overcome the deficiencies in NIL is bring in a coach that players WANT to play for. Perfect example, look no further than our own offense. Morris and DT. Morris has said the reason he came here was to play for Eric.

I think until they are able to show they can do it consistently, most fans don't trust it. I know for one, I don't. Yeah, it has happened a few times, every squirrel gets a nut, but the more likely scenario is when the defense needs a game winning stop, it doesn't happen. Very similar to the Cowboys right now.... 🤔

This sounds eerily familar.....

Why would they not? I was one of them. No confidence in this team and it is founded. This is exactly why I pay very little attention to off season rankings, player transfers, etc. Final product and on the field results is what matters.

Yep, just figured the two ranked teams would be the biggest competition.

Tomorrow, it looks like the main competiton in our time slot is Notre Dame vs Navy. It will be the primary on ABC, but this is lining up to have a potential to have lots of eyeballs on it.

This right here. The Saturday morning slot is actually a very popular spot for even big P5s. It gets more eyeballs because it's the first college games of the day, so people are ready to watch! I hope GameDay talks up our game some. I assume we should at least get a small segment.

Last week was a big stage and we couldn't get it done. I would argue with this being at home and on a bigger ESPN station, this is an even bigger stage. Please!!! Let's win!!!! Defense, eat your Wheaties and drink your red bull and be on point!!

Thanks, my searching abilities were lacking on this one.

I am in the same boat. If I get there early enough, I might try and swing by and eat some of Tony's balls though.

Was watching WFAA news at 10 last night and they had a whole segment on Mean Green's game this weekend. They talked about the bonfire and interviewed Morris and he said there was a little more "juice" in practice. I tried to find it on their website, but couldn't. I watch WFAA all the time and I will say they have been talking more about Mean Green in general.

Our game was way more exciting than the Dakotas game that bumped us. Maybe ESPN will learn from that move.

I would ALWAYS trade less money for more wins.

I always wonder if recording counts.

Maybe if they didn't allow scores on like the first 3 or 4 possesions the offense could be aggressive like this. It's a double edged sword.

I noticed this too, but I think it is just a habit. He isn't really drinking much each time. That quarter of a bottle just kept going.

Now THAT'S a very intriguing idea. Haha

Yeah, get ready for the Dodgers to be in a lot of WS. This is a Jordan or LaBron type in baseball.

Hmmmm.... I wonder who calls these defensive plays......

Even if we did have a solution, they wouldn't listen to us. It's all our opinion. I don't think Morris is coming on this forum for solutions. This is the way. Whatever kind of fan you are, supporting the university in any way possible is what we need. Let's first worry about filling the stadium... Many have said it, you do this by winning and I don't believe it only takes NIL for this, there are many examples of teams doing more with less.
