Oh they definitely need to finagle us out of that game. That is supposed to be Dumbos 'breakout' season and probably our meltdown season. Doesn't seem to be good timing, at all.

I think this is a legitimate question that should probably be made into a thread.

Fans will stay away. No reason for anyone to go rile up anyone in this admin office about change. The fans will speak with their empty bleachers. It's the way of sports.

I think the mess the previous poster was referring to was the mess of the contract situation that has been self inflicted with the little help of fat Jimmy. I mean damn man, SL is about to enter his 5th offseason. And he's reeling and dropping games that are unforgivable, again. Like, in your honest opinion, what year do we draw the line in the sand? Side note: His heralded classes that are being clamored for = very minimal quality at OL/DL. He will must go JUCO AND transfers to pull his ass out of this mess. There is no other way around it.

That's great and all. And I see you being the pep squad leader for SL and this administration. But the offense, of which you named 4 players we are 'hurting' by not having, scored 38 points while putting up 550 yards of offense. The defense...Should've damn recruited better. You don't just get a pass because you lost players from the year before when you are going into your FIFTH year of recruiting. That's bogus. That is behind us. And even if you must bring it up, great. But we were playing CHARLOTTE. This loss falls squarely on the defense, Reffet or SL, whoever. But they shit the bed.

I just can't fathom losing to what will be a 1-6 UTEP on Homecoming.

not really, what?

Ohhhh...I see. Well I guess we will just have to wait to beat powerhouses like UNCC when all of this young talent develops, I reckon. Schucks.

I digress.

RV wasn't here when the school was paying a coach 1.8mills. What was Dodge getting, like 250? McCarney was at like 675K, and most around here thought we were big timing it.

Can't ignore empty stadiums and dried up funds, can they?

And why does this keep happening? Who is to blame for the mental focus of this team? The confidence on the field and the preparation leading into the game? I would LOVE to hear Seth Littrell's pre-game speech. I can only imagine that it would leave very, very much to be desired.

I opted out this year of season tix. I buy walk-up now. I sort of saw all of this. Defensively, looking around on the roster, I just was never sold on them being even OK. Next year, I will definitely not get tix. You folks need to quit getting swindled on season tix. What are you paying for? Why are you continuing to pay increased prices? We may, believe it or not, be worse next season. SL is slipping, and it's been apparent for sometime. I thought he was turning a tide, but I will never forgot that 2016 @ UTEP performance for solidified bowl eligibility. We've seen much more of it since then and I am afraid we will see much more of it until he's sent packing. But make no mistake, he will be sent packing before he is hired away.

Baker helped make this mess. This mess, as you sort of imply, didn't fall in his lap. He was one of the main architects of it. As for SL's post game comments....

Been calling for this bozo's job for 2+ years. Dude is h. o. r. r. i. b. l. e.

Yuck. It's not difficult. All white on the road - green helmet over green jersey with white pants at home.

It being a public institution, it would have to be reported.

Absolutely. A lot of talk, bubbling potential, tweets, recruiting classes, inflated salaries, trivial perks, and still...nada to show for it. It's frustrating. And to be frank, it wouldn't be that frustrating if we weren't losing the best QB in our schools history. Not to say we shouldn't have a guy step in and perform, because we should. But if fills like the air is out of the balloon and we let a lot of successes go unfilled on the field.

OK? That's just not a shrug your shoulders kind of excuse. It's the most important job of a college coach's job, recruiting. Nonetheless, Holtz and Tech have more success than we do while recruiting better than we do all while getting paid less than half the amount of money paid.

This is absolute asinine. Not because of the money. It's never been about the money to me. Let them make money, independently via true 3rd parties. But you KNOW that's not going to be the reality. It will be just another way for the filthy rich schools to funnel money to recruits, but by doing it semi-legally now. It's absolutely crazy. I think it's time for the NCAA to FORCE the big money programs out of collegiate athletics and allow the 100 programs or so left over to play actual college football.

The jet, sure. But not the gas, depreciation of usage, etc. I am assuming that is what the $100,000 allowance is pushed into the pot for. Kind of crazy, all of the perks and salary, for what we're getting. Meanwhile, Skip Holtz keeps putting together success at less than half the price.

Promising. Still need to go grab quality DL/OL.
