Take a snip of a post and make it your own and then all of sudden in your mind it's whatever post you want it to be. Standings wise, we're sitting pat. Though that will probably change but as of today it's the same. 2016 - 4-4 4th place in the West. 2018 - 2-2 4th place in the West.

Uh huh

41-17

This. 2017 = 2019. 2018 was going to be and was always going to be this teams peak in the Mason Fine era IMO.

Don't believe he is...mine is 6 ft under going on 11 years. And when I need SWC or budget comments I will chime you in, otherwise quit posting. We've had this conversation already.

Sheesh. Damn curb stomped fan base. I guess I didn't know the magnitude of the "aT lEaSt wE'rE 6-2" base was so deeply rooted. Quite sad, really.

I think Fine is great. But like the Dana Holgerson, Leach, any coach at Tech, etc. it's kind of a proven system thing. The passing game will see productivity due to the system. Maybe not MF type, but productivity. I also think once this staff realizes the simple analytics in CUSA, they will get pass happy and we might have matched passing productivity.

Yup. And believe it or not....that's common practice around the country after shitty losses. It's something I hope we get very accustom to. It means we're wallowing in success. Join the fun.

Wait...like fake beat their ass? Point stands. We need to pop half a hundred just because.

Lol....Herman has UT at #6 in the country and 1st place in the Big12. Pump sunshines more efficiently. As things stand now...the difference between 2016 and 2018 is miniscule going by strictly standings. We finished 4th in the West in 2016. We are currently 4th in the west in 2018. The difference that is getting everyone giddy is tbe OOC success. Instead of playing a physical SEC div winning UF team we played a downtroddwn Arkansas team. Rather than playing a SMU team with a couple 1st rd draft picks, we played a SMU team with a 1st yr HC. Flip the schedule around we could be easily sitting at 4-4. And not to dump more rain, but our OOC slate next year doesn't get easier, though not sure how it could. We have to travel to an improving Cal team and we have Houston paired with our annual showdown with SMU...this time @ SMU. This OOC slate packs much more of a punch than the creampuff we took on this year. And I'm not down on Littrell at all. I'm down on whoever is calling the plays.

I understand the excitement. I'll be there too. BUT, with expectations like that we are closer to 4-8 than 12-0 as a fan base. Demand perfection and accept greatness. Rather than demand not being in the Dodge era and accept anything else as long as its not the Dodge era. But I'm excited too and a 10 win season is a feather in this staffs cap. I think 10 wins is the ultimate goal now. There are only a couple handful of teams a year that get to 10. There are about 35 bowl 'champions'. Granted I'll take both and given the opponent I'll demand both.

I think 1 person stated that. 1. Not people or a group of people. 1. My frustration is with the actual group of people who will not push blame to the proper corners yet shit on players when the blamees are the one's pushing out the same players making the same mistakes onto the field. 6-2 is 6-2. Not bad at all, but not good enough to contend for a division in the 9th best conference in the country of 10. All luster has been lost for onlookers, for the people with 0 affiliation with this university. They have quickly looked the other way. And deservedly so, App St, the new flavor of the week. We have a good recruiting class put together right now. Damn good actually. There are future difference makers in this class, no doubt. But do we have a clone of MF in there or on the roster? Maybe. Not probable though. This class will be coming into form on the FIELD in 2021...2020 for a select few. The #1 signal caller in our football history will be long gone by then. The window was 2018, for 2019 will have so many defensive deficiencies I don't even want to think about right now. Call me a debbie downer or a sob, don't really care. We (the play caller of this offense) have let the rope slip out of this teams hand. And the sunshine pumpers will default to 6-2 and our hopefully incoming recruiting class as if that changes what is taking place in that offensive press box on Saturday's. Is what it is. But square up the problem in your mind and at least acknowledge it. Side note...we should throw the ball 60 times a game here on out. No more token runs for good measure. JMO.

We would have to score more than 21. They are a physical team on both sides of the LOS. So we would probably struggle if history tells us anything.

That's bold given we have no idea the location or opponent. What if we get paired with Boise in New Mexico? I think we should go 4-0. I think the FAU game will be tricky regardless of their record. Teams know how to beat us. Kiffin can manipulate a blueprint and make it better. I also think utsa will be difficult only because they treat us like the New England Patriots. We should, however, go 4-0 to end the reg season. But being theoretical, we should have beaten UAB and LaTech.

Coming from you, most definitely.

The combined record of our remaining opponents is 9-22. We need to finish strong. To note: Our 12 opponents at this point in the season has a combined record of 36-49. There is currently 4 winning teams of the 12...Incarnate Word, Liberty, La Tech, and UAB. Just some food for thought.

The 3rd and 29 was a grey area call. Our DB impeded the wr's angle to the ball. But it was not intentional. It should have been viewed as 2 players getting tangled up, which is rarely called. I thought it was a bs call that cannot be called on 3rd & 29 unless blatant PI takes place. It reeked of a bail out call.

Touche. For the record...I don't necessarily want anyone fired. I just think GH needs to be mentored up a bit or SL needs to take over situational play calling in pivotal moments of games. And I was mad about the UAB loss but it's a culmination of the losses. Silver lining if I must...At least we aren't being blown out this year in our losses.

Reach much. You were all but certain, no wait you were certain the UAB game was a W. You even posted about their blowout loss to CC. But you are here to be super fan and breathe false hope with your neverending hint of sarcasm when things don't or didn't go as you matter of factly predicted. Now we need to be more optimistic? Welp, opinions differ. Get over it. Or try. Or whatever. I don't care what you do.

FAU are defending CUSA champs and won their bowl game. Their assistant pool and head coaching salaries are both below ours. Not to mention the ass beatings we took from them last year. I would say that's more with less to date. I can't speak of the current state of utsa football. From afar it looks to be in rough waters. They do have a 3-2 winning record over UNT. But that doesn't paint a full picture though of the current state.

What we've gotten is not what we want. And the pay is the same... What am I missing...I feel like there's a point you're possibly trying to make.

Oh dude. I'm with you. You are preaching to the choir here. I'm just stating the wasted blunder that is turning into the 2018 season.

Big picture, not much. They did beat a bad Baylor team a year or 2 ago. But so did Liberty. They have a winning record vs us. They also knocked us out of the CUSA champ game in 2013.

Oh I know. Defense will be the excuses next year. And in 2020 we'll be revamping everything with a lot of new faces hoping to just be competitive. The window is open now and instead of busting through it, we're pissing in the wind out of it. Next year's D will be similar to 2018 D. In the Mason Fine era this year's team had/has the best team personnel in terms of talent + experience to be special. This was the year. But people will put their fingers in their ears and lalalalalalala like a 6 year old before that is admitted.
