Wow PAC12 is desperate!

Now that we have fended off the Pac12 it’s high time we start thinning the herd. Temple first and then I think we eye others. Too many mouths to feed if you aren’t bringing any value.

Nice! I am listening to this right now in the truck.

Great information!!

That’s terrible. I wondered why some states were being less restrictive.

I heard we originally didn’t want to go and then UTSA git involved and now we are changing our mind somewhat.

People need to stop posting incorrect weather information on here. Someone posted earlier in the week it would be a cold front and good weather. 😡

I sort of like it!

Extremely good breakdown and you really explain it well so I can understand. Really enjoy your analysis and opinions because you back them up with data.

Well I guess we have to hope now that we can find adequate replacements but this is certainly a difficult pill to swallow.

Really VERY disappointed in Eric Morris. This guy really chokes big time in BIG games!

I have a a group of 8 family and friends watching at the local bar. They are starting to show me that painful sympathy. Other patrons are bitching at owner to change the game to the LSU game.

I am so embarrassed

Why did Morris throw that ball? Terrible pass!!

Terrible by Damon Ward!!

Good pregame meal.

I heard they were all suspended!

Always enjoy Sanoe and JD. Congrats for the Dave Campbell’s endorsement as well. Well deserved!

Might trade Quinn for TE Randy Gardner or WR Kevin Howard.

Saw this on their fan site: TallTexan 1:21p, 6/12/24 Since restarting the program in 2006, SFA baseball has posted a 430-579 record, a paltry 42% winning percentage. We notched just 10 wins the past season. While there have been a few bright spots for the restarted program, notably Willie Vest & Hunter Dozier playing on the MLB stage, actual success for the program has been few and far between. The team currently plays at the city's little league park and stadium plans have fallen through, even with a lead donor(Bo Pilgrim/Planned Pilgrim Park https://sfajacks.com/news/2006/11/30/Bo_Pilgrim_Park_at_SFA_to_bring_home_11_8_million_a_year_for_Nacogdoches). According to one parent of an early player, Baker Patillo shared with her that he hadn't even been consulted when the Athletic department decided to re-launch baseball. Which likely led to the tepid support for a major infrastructure project on their behalf. Today's price tag for a baseball/softball facility in the same range would likely top 25 million, a significant increase from the 14 million price from 2006. Marshall is spending 23 million for baseball only. Kennesaw State is paying 12.3 for a renovation of their existing stadium.Georgia State's new stadium will cost 15.85 million. So SFA is easily looking at tens of millions of dollars for a "college level" park. We are also facing headwinds from college baseball at large. The House Settlement that is likely to take 300k from SFA's budget a year is also expected to bring full roster scholarships to college baseball's Power 5 teams. Whereas teams can currently only offer 11.3 scholarships per baseball team, Texas, OU & the like would now be able to offer a full ride to all 30 players on their roster. That will make any fringe/tweener athlete instantly jump to take roster spots on P5 teams. Don't get me wrong. That is great for those athletes, but it means even tougher recruiting for a school like SFA. Sure, SFA could continue to sponsor baseball with our existing facilities, with similar or worse results with the upcoming NCAA changes. Why pay for a program where we are continually fighting with one hand tied behind our back? Where we have no history of success nor the infrastructure to achieve it? We'll need to likely spend 10-15 mil just to compete with the other teams on our level on a regular basis .Given all of SFA's other needs, both athletically and as a university, we have to sit back and ask ourselves if investing millions in this program makes sense. There is an opportunity cost, and baseball certainly does not bring in the eyeballs of our Football/MBB/WBB teams. Men's Soccer, Volleyball, or Tennis could share some facilities with existing women's teams. In my opinion, it's time to axe Baseball, once and for all.

Laces Out Marino 12:04p, 9/2/24 I watched most of the 1st half and some of the 2nd half and S Bama definitely had missed opportunities. At least 3 or 4 times I saw a speedy WR 5-10 yds behind the DBs and the QB under threw the ball. If he hits a couple of those in stride they walk in for a TD and it's a different ball game. Game was closer than the score. I think if we give our QB a little time in the pocket we can stretch the field on them. Our WRs are every bit as good as S Bama. We will need to get pressure on Morris for sure and not give up the quick slants. Made a lot of nice throws in rhythm. If we can make him uncomfortable and disrupt his rhythm I think we have a chance. Link: https://sfasawmill.com/forums/2/topics/2509

DENTON - While making his debut for the Mean Green on Saturday in Mobile, Alabama, junior quarterback Chandler Morris ripped apart the South Alabama pass defense en route to a 52-38 road win to open the season and earn American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week honors. Morris helped account for UNT's first five touchdowns while completing 32 of 41 passes for 415 yards and three touchdowns. He also added a pair of rushing touchdowns to his ledger. His 32 completions and 415 yards were the most by any player in the conference in Week 1. The effort was the second 400-yard passing game of Morris' career (his first at UNT) and he became the 10th player in program history to pass for 400 yards or more in a game. Joining Morris on the weekly honors list was his top target on Saturday, senior wide receiver Damon Ward Jr., who set career highs with 12 catches for 230 yards. He also found the end zone twice, including a 54-yard catch-and-run touchdown late in the third quarter that gave UNT a cushion after South Alabama had closed the game to a two-point UNT lead. His 230 yards was one yard shy of tying the school record for most receiving yards in a season-opener. -- GMG --
