To piggyback, met some NMSU alum that live in Albuquerque and come to this bowl every year. They took my wife and I to dinner after the game. Silver lining I suppose...free meal...to compensate the waste of money the bowl game was.

I guess the downvoters don't think recruiting is the staffs job and they enjoy the curb stompings. Very well.

While all true...but when is enough ass whippings enough ass whippings. Year 4, 5, 6? While we can blame poor talent and recruiting classes....We just can't shrug with manila statements in we don't have the talent, because that is a burden of this staff as well. The nationally televised embarrassments have to stop.

I wasn't referring to you, at all. You are level headed into reality. But the same suspects will jump on the 'remember 2015' next year when things get weary...almost like the Alamo or something.

I wonder if people will still talk about 2015 when we're flirting with 30 ppg on D again? 4 years removed and an entire roster transformation. Just trying to get the excuse train moving in the right direction early for some of you guys...

5-7 in 2012...bowl "champs" with a 9-4 season in 2013 and then the wheels fell off. For records sake same kind of seasons as SL has provided. And who's to say the wheels won't starts squeaking next year with a 4-8 or 5-7 type performance?

You can count 2016 UTEP (bowl elegibility) as well as what could have been division champ games in la tech/UAB. These are his 7 big games outside of SMU and he's 0-7. To be fair the 23-21 win in Ruston in 2017 that basically clinched the division was a big game as well...So, 1-7. If you count SMU, 2-9.

Disregard.

don't think that's possible unless we sneak into bowl season 6-6 and get to play another crappy 6-6 team. SL has proven he can't beat a better team or even an equal team. He feasts on the weak and bows to the strong. Wonder if we're going to extend and bump him....let's hope not.

This.

Poor mentality.

The Belt is better. They have a team that went 2-6 in conference and beat our "champs". Utsa 2-6 beat tx state 1-7 25-21. That's pretty even. Their top 5 outclassed our top 5. Thanks, Judy. Way to elevate us.

45-13. Yaaaaaeverythingisfineaaaaayyyyyyyyyy

We will see how even when champs NIU and UAB go head to head on Tuesday. Spoiler alert: I picked NIU in my bowl picks this year.

Another CUSA team getting spanked in a bowl... App St 31 Mtsu 6 11 to go in 3rd

For sure. I don't care about career stats. Year over year production is what we need. I think either 5 or 17 can eventually provide said production.

Agreed. We run a system offense. Once an accurate QB gets his timing down and his confidence up he can produce. I will never concede that this is our peak. If it is, this is an anthill of a peak.

Your offense is your defenses best friend or worst enemy. Today they were an enemy. Bad spots, though we won TOP it didn't feel like it. 4 TO's. Any defense will start to see the writing on the wall and just starts to fold 1 snap at a time. Coaching was atrocious. I'm starting to feel like a broken record. Not a good sign.

He pads his QB stats. Stats to an offensive head coach is a bullet on a resume.

This staff is a joke. About 49% of me was hoping they were all going to Manhattan. 51% of me wants this signing class. Want to pad your QB stats game after game for the sake of your own resume, this is the fire that burns you. Hope he enjoys it. He was out coached by a bunch of bums making peanuts on the dollar to him. He should be ashamed. I'm never going to another bowl games unless it's in a 4 hour window. Bunch of hodge podge bs.

We are finesse. They are not. They are well prepared with a coordinator and GAs. We are not with a full coaching staff. That is all.

0% Our coach has been too busy looking up skirts.

Altitude is a bitch excuse. Our play calling failed this team, got the QB hurt, and will force our D to play 100+ snaps. We are a soft team up front and SL needs to take that part of his philosophy out of the equation bc it's false.

They are semding people almost every play and we are not adjusting play calling. Still doing the long developing route trees. #playcalling #AreWeSeriouslyKeepingGH He has gotten Fine hurt...not this OL.

2 hours north. Leaving here Saturday morning around 6 AM to head that way. Me and my far better half.
