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.

Not really.  It was a different coaching staff, with quite a few different players.

Smith went to Canales and offered his insight on a number of players. So at least he feels he knows this defense.

      How 'Bout Some Blame For The BOR?

      This. Unless/until the BOR and Administration decide to "...make winning at revenue sports a priority", we will only have the occasional good season more or less by accident.

      We all know you hate baseball. If you make a dollar selling a ticket, it's revenue, and a revenue sport. Profit is different. Few college sports make a profit for an Athletic Department at the G5 level. Baseball (as opposed to golf, swimming, track, etc) would lure fans to campus in the spring, spur donations, as well as tickets and merchandise. It's not always about making money (profit)...it's keeping relationships with fans and alums year-round. Non-revenue sports aren't doing it.

      Agree, I would like to see some of these guys get some meaningful minutes just to see what they have. It's hard since we don't see them in practice every day like Hodge does.

      What is this program missing?

      THIS!! The portal is the killer. If we only had to compete against other schools having bigger NIL, we'd still be ok because our players would have to honor their commitment here or lose a year when they would transfer away. Instead, the portal allows those NIL deals at P$s to buy off anyone looking for a payday and to play at their dream school. When we see our teams almost turn over by 75% or more, the few fans that do care look at their donations and think that they can be able to use their few thousand dollars they donate in better fashion. For me, I stopped going to games back after 2022. It just became very clear that this sport is one that I cannot support with my butt in a seat anymore. Its intrinsically unfair and completely tilted to hurt places like ours, which was already at a GIGANTIC disadvantage because of our self-inflicted stupidity of the past. Going down to FCS in 1983 and staying there for 12 freaking years while the SWC and Big 8 were at their heights was about as dumb a decision as a school could've made in this region. We nuked the program's fans and alumni support from decades before and decades ahead. But today, with the portal and NIL being what they are, the strong majority of G5 schools shouldn't be in FBS and acting like they're equals to anyone in a Power conference. Yes, you can name a few exceptions, from performance, to tradition, to budget...but this is where we need a level of play that is more like traditional college amateur football. Don't go down to FCS and lose a ton of scholarships, rather create a level of play that allows for you to have 85 or more scholarships, but they aren't playing for anything more than their scholarship and a stipend. Make college coaching staffs have a salary cap. Hell, play your games in the spring semester--do something to get coverage for the sport that America loves more than anything else. Play 10 games in a regional conference setup, then play an 8-team playoff. I would be a season ticket holder again in a heartbeat with a setup like this. Otherwise, Ill watch from afar, like I've done for two years now and haven't regretted one time.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      Texas State hired their football coach the same time we did. He just got a new contract worth $2 million per year with a record not that much better that Morris.
