Monkeypox

Yeah, I'm a little pessimistic about turnout. Middle of a Thursday, 2 days before Christmas... everybody I know will be at work. And a lot of people made plans already, not expecting us to make a game at 1-6.

Well seeing as we've had 30,000 with 8 and 9-win seasons, I have no doubt we could reach the little bit left to sell it out if we actually were undefeated 9 or 10 games in. In fact, I don't think there's any doubt we'd sell out if we were 9-0 or 10-0 going into a home game. I mean, UTSA was 9-0 before hitting 30k.

Yeah did this even get reviewed at the time? I would think the argument could’ve been made that when his foot goes back, his shin is making contact with turf and he’s effectively down. Regardless, no, I don’t think a fake slide should be allowed. The second the QB APPEARS to be giving himself up, he’s giving himself up and the play is dead. We’re already asking too much of defenders to have them 2nd-guessing a play designed for AB safety. Until something changes, defenders should just start ignoring the slide altogether.

This is great and all, but does anybody know where I can get any footage of the "real program" that was supposed to visit us on the same weekend? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Yep. 1991-1992: 18 2001-2002: 25 2011-2012: 35 2021-2022: 43

Yes, but it's been worse than that this year.

Yeah, I'm not real concerned about SL winning out. We have teams with winning records remaining on the schedule. UTSA is going to do us a favor for once, if UTEP doesn't do it first. So in theory, I'd have to tip my hat to the magical coaching it would take to do so, especially given our QB/WR situation.... but it ain't happening.

Always nice watching cheaters fail.

Cheating Astros didn't get punished, but I'm TOTALLY sure they stopped cheating. I mean, people always stop doing bad things when they're rewarded for it and receive no consequences. Sorry, but Altuve and all those cheating bitches can burn. MLB lost what little credibility they still had when they didn't ban the players and expunge their records.

Well ours is trickle-down from Texas-OU, so it would likely only be if they sped up their timeline. I believe their 2022 schedules are already set, so while it COULD be done and they could certainly absorb whatever costs they need to, I don’t think it’s the same for the rest of us. UT and OU could probably jack up their CURRENT year’s schedule if they wanted to. We don’t have those dollars. That said, if those teams (USM, ODU, etc.) leave a year before we do, do we get the share of their exit fees since we’re still in the conference, and then have to turn around and give it back when we leave?

1-3... for that consistency.

Then how would we know the boundaries of the Forbidden Zone?

WIDE open... got really lucky there.

I don't think the backups have had "great" games... just much better games than our starter.

Gotta have a QB capable of throwing the ball in the general area of a receiver in order to take a shot.

Every time a play ends, I'm looking for the flag.

Bennett can GTFO along with Littrell.

If I'm Rice, after I get the TD, I'm going for 2.

There's that trademark discipline. Again... and again... and again.

Lol. SL football.

100+ passing yards! We're really tee-ing it high now!

These coaches are stealing money.

Yes, AFTER this weekend, we're down to 4 games, which means Drummond could play in them all after that and not lose the redshirt. But outside of him, none of our QBs have redshirts remaining. So if you were expecting to see Martin or Gilmore, I wouldn't get my hopes up. I mean, I'm not getting my hopes up to see Drummond, either. I feel like Seth, at most, might rotate Ruder back in if we're completely out of a game late.

It just sucks because: 1) For a lot of this game, we were in position for an ugly win 2) Even believing that our coach is done and can't do the job anymore, none of us are actively rooting against these kids/this team. We still want to watch the team win. 3) Time is scarce as an adult, and spending so much time on something that's ultimately frustrating or upsetting just compounds the issue. I'm not getting nearly as angry, anymore, because I don't think there's anything that can be done this season. I just hate the injuries and lack of discipline most of all. I want to see this team get better, and it just seems like we keep finding different ways to be bad. I need SOMETHING for the future.
