  1. I think P4 schools will generally be able to lure players they want away from G6 schools regardless of scholarship status. There will always be unique situations, but I was thinking in the aggregate. If the average roster size is 128 and has to go to 105, that's 23 fewer P4 athletes per team. Assuming 67 or so P4 schools, that's 1,541 athletes that would have previously been on a P4 team that will trickle down to a G6 team. Assuming players 106 through 128 on P4 teams are worthy of being on a P4 team, that's a lot of P4 talent that will be looking for new homes. I realize that not every P4 athlete is better than a G5 athlete...we've seen it ourselves where a P4 transfer is unable to beat out a player already on our roster, but based on the numbers alone, there's got to be some leveling of the talent across the P4/G6 landscape, no?
  2. Maybe I’m missing something. Wouldn’t the roster limit be good for the have-nots as the haves cannot hoard players that will now need to find home on have-nots teams and potentially improve the talent level and competitiveness of the have-nots?
  3. Ouch. Lowest rated game on ESPN2 for the week. We took one for the conference. Queue up the usual excuses.
  4. We're 5-1, enjoy the ride man...we're 5-2 in forever, stop bitchin'....5-3 is still above .500, we should be happy with that. Look, no one is giving up. Everyone here has green blood running through their veins. We all want our team, our coaches and our players to be successful. The team definitely has some fight in them. The last HC had taken us as far as he could and it would take a new regime to get us to the next level and not repeat the mistakes of the past. It was not a rebuild. It was upward from where we were. That was the promise. Unfortunately the warning signs started to show up and have been flashing red for the last season and a half. Morris/Morris is the current version of Littrell/Fine. So I think what you are hearing is a lot of Mean Green anxiety coming to the surface with the realization that it's potentially happening all over again.
  5. Forgot about that one. Didn't really feel like and upset though, did it? Actually kind of embarrassing that we went into that game as dogs. I was thinking more like App St vs Michigan or ULM vs Alabama type of upset. Maybe the Arkansas game @DeepGreen pointed out.
  6. Short term memory (or is it long term) is challenged these days. When was the last time we won in an upset? Was it against a ranked USTA that everyone wants to discount? What was it before that? I guess we just need to play more bad terms. Do they teach how to tackle in Texas high school football? Seems to be a lost art.
  7. Has any university fumbled more than NTU? I have to laugh, I have to cry.
  8. Looks like the tower is due for a paint job. Beat Tulane!
  9. Ah...Now that you mention it, I remember that! Scary.
  10. I will just leave this here. With our offense, we should not be in game situations hoping for a go ahead or tying score on the last possession. Total Team Offense Rank Total Team Defense Rank
  11. 1. So again, it's the fan's fault. We're simply not doing enough or as much as the fans of BetterFans U. Let's say the option for a fan is buy season tickets or contribute to NIL and watch on TV. It's an either/or, not both. What's the recommendation from the AD in this scenario? 2. In theory, but I don't recall seeing what $ amount is necessary to win a game, what our current player payroll is or what it needs to be...for a winning record, for a conference championship, for a bowl win, etc. 3. If people were not here bitching, there would be a lot less content and engagement on GoMeanGreen.com. No content, no engagement, no ad sales. No ad sales, no GoMeanGreen.com.
  12. I think that's the problem for us. We don't have the luxury of patience or looking at year-over-year metrics as evidence of incremental improvement. It's a win now world. Every team from here on out will be bare little resemblance to the pervious year's team. There will be some players that hang around for more than a season or two, but look at us this year. Don't we have 77 new players or something like that? What if we have similar turn-over numbers next year? At what point is this no longer developing a program and is instead hobbling together a new team every year that must compete and win immediately?
