He can always wait until the Spring Portal when a lot more players transfer and coaching staffs realize they need a QB

Strange to end up from those offers to Lamar. Not sure if it was waiting untill they dried up or something else came; up perhaps grades?

It is about to the point to where you either need to find a way to fix it which will probably take some type of government intervention or just get rid of the sport. It's getting pathetic that every player is out trying to find a way to circumventive system and every team is doing what they want to contact players. I cannot think of another example where a system is as broken as college sports. Add in the fact that title 9 is now saying they will have to share the revenue with women's sports and this is only going to get worse.

Would love to see them turn around and sue the NCAA for creating a system that is unsustainable and non-competitive.

Please keep in mind that it looks like shortly they will be changing the roster limits and the amount of players eligible to be put on scholarships. I believe then you will have to keep the minimum of 85 but you will be able to go higher if you choose but with a lower total number of players that can be in the program.

I hate thinking that we need more rules, but something they have to address is the players that are faking injuries to slow down the momentum of another team and the ones that are just straight out flopping onto the ground to try and get a penalty thrown against the other team.

I wonder if any of the CUSA teams tried to make a move to the MAC?

By all means sometimes less is better when you have fans who spend most of their time bitching about the program and complaining about everything.

You have to love the idiots who make comments like Southwest Texas State and then most likely get pissed off when people call us North Texas State.

By all means feel free to step away and not come back.

Think you we'll see some major changes to the format next year. Between the first round blowouts and it looks like every team that got to bye will lose would expect to see some changes.

I've seen quite a few FCS games were the announced attendance was much higher than their capacity yet there still half the seats in the stadium were empty.

Who would have guessed when you have to buy players that they would not give a damn about the school. Again I know many of you will jump in how this all starts because the schools were so greedy but if you're not realizing the players have caught up on the greed then you have your head buried in the sand. With all the lawsuits going on I really wish groups of students would start suing to stop mandated athletic fees. Students should not have to compensate professional sports.

Trying to listen to these games is almost unbearable. Announcers no longer even try to hide their biases. Lord help if it's a power conference school playing a group of five school and now it's almost as bad if you're an ACC or Big 12 school playing at SEC school or Big10. The pieces of crap doing the Texas Arizona game actually just gave Texas coach Steve sarkisian the credit as a play he would design for a play Arizona ran. Did not even mention the offensive coordinator that designed it for Arizona until the next play.

Also a very good chance that they nor other players let the fact that they are in the portal or not impact their communication through third parties with other schools.

I'm sure that's what he did 🤣

I agree but it seems like more and more unless they're four stars and five stars these ratings are meaningless. It's a subjective call by a person in that area and as far as I know I've never seen a set criteria how they rank them.

I always wonder in a case where your backup quarterback has so very little experience how much you practice time he's getting with the team. I guess we'll find out soon how close he is to being ready now that he's been getting more practice.

By all means let's not give any credit to Mestemaker.

Don't know enough about the man to make a comment. Hopefully the AD picked a winner.

So have you guys actually looked into it when you say cost savings; so we're paying him less than the previous coach? Did you take time to check it before you said we were cost saving?Did you look into this coach and his background, or is it typical of so many on here that we're just complaining to complain?

Valid point that will have to be weighed against the level of coaching and the facilities available to develop them at the juco. They will not have the same level of fitness training and access to nutrition programs. But I believe you're correct in that sum will take that route to try and develop themselves.
