So much for holding our cards close to our (sweater) vest. I would love to attend a poker night at the Athletic Department. 

It's gameday.  I would think if WKY were going to prepare specifically for a QB, it would happen before gameday.  I don't mind them putting a picture of Damarcus up on social media to hopefully drum-up some support.

I can guarantee you they prepared for D. Smith knowing if Mcnulty trots out there the game is over before it starts.  Just a hunch on my part.

Agreed.. the mistakes that were made with Dajon (no patience for mistakes, no time to develop, no game plan for his strengths) were obvious to everyone. I believe the Mean Green Nation understands the growing pains of a young QB, even if Coach Mac did not. As much as I want to win now, I am willing to wait until next season for W's if Chico uses THIS season to get "The Decade" ready for 2016. I don't care if he throws 20 int's, let the kid learn his lessons now, and grow him for our future. I think we will see tremendously good AND bad plays this year, but the fans and Alums will again be energized by this program. Show us you are ready to do what some other coaches couldn't do, Chico. Give Demarcus seven full games and a proper game plan to work with. Don't just judge him by his game-day mistakes, but by the positives that will be there now and in the future. You can do that Coach.. you've done it before and we were there.

Bingo

Just remember Scott Hall's first season. He made plenty of mistakes and people wondered why in the world he kept his starting job. He took his lumps and grew into a great QB. Chico just needs to stick with him and let him grow. Interceptions, fumbles, etc... are secondary right now. Learning is the most important part.

I hope nobody freaks out when he struggles. No doubt he should be playing, but this is a big challenge and a tough game to get your first start. I'm just hoping for some progress and some touchdowns on the board. Topping our season high of 24 would be great, although I expect to give up 50+.

20 INT's!? That would be rough but I would be willing to ride it out with him in hope of next year. 

 

I do not think this will happen, I don't know if he'll even throw one as he knows this defense. He went up against them during his time there. This is the perfect game for him to start which makes me believe we have a puncher's chance of pulling off an unprecedented victory tonight. #GMG #LockTheGate

I see a lot of you all posting about the growing pains and newbie mistakes being made by D. Smith if he is the one selected. What sucks about this is the fact that D. Smith probably could of worked those growing pains out the first 5 games. But Mac threw him to the wolves, he hasn't played a whole game at UNT, and this is basically week 1 of the season for him.

      Evansville (11/5/24)

      Massie is basically listed at the same build as both AScott and TBell…our starting PFs for the last four seasons. That’s at least part of the reason I see Massie as a fit at our 4…so much of our defense is built around switching, denying entry and team rebounding…so we’ve never needed 6’8” 250 at the 4. I agree Vice is such a big wildcard. If it’s literally just him and Sissoko sharing minutes at the 5 and giving say 12/12 collectively, this squad could be a monster and legit ten-deep. this level of pre-season speculation is pretty darn fun. We are not have like three dudes on the roster we’re pretty well confident in knowing what they’ll give us…Walker, Sissoko and Stone…everyone else is kinda up in the air. personally…I think Wright is knocking on the door of 20ppg…with Floyd, Josell, Massie all around double-figures…balanced by Walker, Newell and some center combo giving 7-8/game.

      For the players and coaches, yes. For the student section, nope. They’re kids. Let them make some lifetime memories and rip the goal posts down.

      Memphis's Tyreek Smith Hits Portal Hours Before Opener

      What's happened to APR? Is that still a thing? It used to be that if more than a few players left a football program (much more so a basketball program) without graduating in the same year, it would kill a team's APR.
