DMac said when he got here, we were the slowest, smallest team in FBS. DMac said that would change through recruiting and off-season conditioning programs.

Four years later. Four years of arguably worse recruiting than in the Dodge years, and what I see is a football team that looks remarkably similar to the last team Dodge put on the field.

We all talked preseason how this would be the team that determined whether Mac was a recruiting genius, finding and developing underrated players, or if he had just failed to recruit as well as his predecessor.

That answer is becoming painfully obvious.

I don't know , I think that last season of TD we saw a more competitive team... A team that was just full of injuries.. I was at the Clemson game and we gave them all they could handle

Most of the players are his guys, but he has lost this team. I see little respect for the guy from the players. It may not be too late, but I doubt mac will make the changes he needs to make.

Me too, and I'll agree except I think Dodge's defense may have been a tad better? This D line is possibly the worse I've seen in 7 years.

I agree. Clemson had several NFL guys on that offense , including some that are stars right now... Remember how quiet that stadium was a halftime ??

I still think Clemson is one of the best places I've ever been to for a football game. Great atmosphere & fans

A little off topic, but if I recall correctly we would have really given them all they could handle if not for a pitiful "excessive celebration" penalty right before the half. Ended up having to kick-off from the 20 and they got good field position and scored before halftime.

I agree that Dodge seemed to be dogged with injuries at least one year. We were on our 3rd string QB I believe. How many teams can win with their 3rd string QB? Few, if any.

Yes, yes, and yes,... Plus possibly the most beautiful campuses I've ever walked across to date. I'd love to go back some day.

So you are saying we don't win again this year?

I wasn't saying we won't win again, but it's a distinct possibility. I left the game yesterday thinking, "We're just not very good." A hard realization for me, but the truth.

We are starting the 3rd team QB, ya know.

Yeah, I almost put that in my reply. Honestly didn't think about it with my initial post, but I got what you meant :cry:

At least with Dodge it was due to injury instead of just not having a QB. We basically have (3) 3rd string QB's though I would argue that DW has the potential to be much more than that. McNulty and Greer...not so much.

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      These players had already chosen to get a free education at a given school when they first committed and they should have factored their degree options/quality into that decision. Now, if after playing for a while, an offer to a BETTER UNIVERSITY (not FB team) for their career is now being offered, then transferring is a valid choice. However, I doubt that is much of a decision factor in the majority of transfers. BTW here's an interesting NCAA site that provides data on graduation, majors, etc. Click on the columns to view different breakdowns, i.e. By Sport. https://www.ncaa.org/sports/2018/5/15/division-i-diploma-dashboard.aspx Also, the NCAA claims that graduation rates have been trending up since the reforms in 2002. While this may be true, I suspect it also has to a lot to do with the general increase in college graduation due to the introduction of numerous less-rigorous majors. More information can be found at the additional links found on the following page: https://www.ncaa.org/news/2024/11/20/media-center-di-graduation-rates-remain-at-highest-level.aspx https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/research/gradrates/2024/2024D1RES_GSRTrends.pdf

      How $$$ for only a year

      Seems like a lot of coaches take new jobs right before bowl games. https://gobearkats.com/news/2024/12/1/football-keeler-to-step-down-as-bearkat-head-coach.aspx

      He’s a Kyler Murray starter kit and you would think we’d get the most out of him while we have him, which is at QB. But you and I know we can never underestimate North Texas’ ability to F things up. I haven't witnessed overall team speed on a HS team like like I saw on the NC team yesterday since the 1983 Daingerfield Tigers. Westlake beat North Shore twice this year, the second time badly in the semi’s and NC was making it look like child’s play against them yesterday. A very impressive, dominant season by them for sure.

      College Football’s 12-Team Playoff Finally Arrived—and It Was a Complete Dud

      I gotta totally disagree on this...October baseball is the best pro-post season. I'd watch every game if we weren't on vacation (my wife usually gets a vacation in late September/early October, so I tend to miss at least a round of October baseball).
