Coach Hodge has done a good job here, and I’m curious what the next few years might look like. BUT you guys who think he’s not going anywhere because of loyalty to UNT or because his kids like it here are living in a dream world. All coaches are loyal until they’re not. If we were packing the pit and paying him a couple mil, maybe… BUT we’re not

You honestly don’t think Brint Ryan has those kinds of connections? He may choose to not use them, but I promise you he has plenty of ears to bend. Abbott and Patrick are small time compared to calls he could make. He’s Trump’s tax adviser…

None of the accounts I would actually trust.

At Indiana, that answer appears to be lay off administrators. LINK

No way. So a player tweaks an ankle, gets it taped up, and they’re ready to play again but they’re forced to sit out that drive? No thanks.

lol, no But congress? They're going to find the solution? Yeah, right.

Nothing gives me more confidence in finding a great solution than getting congress involved...

The Super Pit is the retro piece.

Adding Texas State feels like such an easy call to me. It would be good for attendance and give our fans another easy road game.

The thing is the schools are the NCAA. The question is and always will be whether or not the non-power schools/conferences will push back and how hard. Historically, that answer has been “maybe a little.”

You’re probably right, but something has got to give. It has to be more clear.

Targeting has to change. There’s too much nuance to it. Helmet to helmet gets a 15 yard penalty. Period. No conditions. If the replay official deems it intentional, they can eject or suspend a player.

I don't see how it's an indictment at all. You bring a handful of guys hoping 1 or 2 end up being impact players for you. They're never all going to work out. That doesn't mean the evaluation was bad. It just means that one develops faster than the others and/or earns the job over the others. The fact that EM had another guy ready to go on short notice after CM left says a lot about his ability to evaluate and develop quarterbacks. Maybe even more so that he was a walk on who hadn't played since his freshman year of HS. Tough to argue EM isn't smarter than those other coaches in this particular situation, given the results he got out of DM in this game. And why not put the game in the hands of an inexperienced 18-year-old who comes in here and does what DM did? I'm glad they didn't go into their shell and play super conservative. I can't even imagine what the final score would have been if we had "leaned on the running game."

Given the history of financial support this program receives to the MGC/MGSF, I would assume the answer you seek is “not many donors donating not that much.”

He moved on. Time for y'all to move on.
