I've seen a lot of positive things in the two games Chico has been head coach.  Still not happy with losing and I'm not endorsing him, but I do like how he has handled the team.  There has been marked improvement and he's managed a few bad situations pretty well, IMHO.  The 2nd half onsides kick didn't work but I do applaud the attempt.

Looks like we are really good at three and outs, well until the 2nd & 3rd string defense shows up, they still picked us.

It was a mistake for Canales to kick a field goal when we were down by 21 in the third. But I do think he's done some good things since he became the first head coach we've ever had twice. I like the way he talked after the game today too. I hope he can make our beaten-down team believe in themselves.

why again did he kick a field goal?  That was a puzzling decision.

I'm assuming because earlier he went for it on 4th in the red zone and came away without points.  I don't think he wanted another trip with nothing to show for it.

EDIT: Hunter Green beat me to it.  What he said.

Exactly.  We have become masters of scoring on the last possession with less than two minutes left in the game.  Can't move against anybody's ones.

UTEP won today.  As bad as have been, they improved to 3-4, beating FAU today.  Leftwich is back from an early season concussion and threw three TDs with no picks.  If he stays healthy, cross UTEP off the list of teams we could beat this season - and, it's a short list:  UTEP and UTSA.

If we can't move the ball consistently against UTSA, then...well, we're already at the bottom of the barrel.  There is no "then" really. 

We will 0-fer the season if we can't beat UTSA.

Differing points of view, but I can see kicking field goals.  At this point in the season, it's all about having as many positives as possible.  We weren't going to win the game, so make it as respectable as possible...which we did.

I don't endorse Canales as the next head coach, but I think the team we've seen the past two weeks beats the McCarney-led team by at least 21 points.  I know longer think we are the worst team in the FBS and Canales has to have something to do with it.   Maybe I was watching the game through my Mean Green colored glasses, but I thought we gave Marshall a decent game, especially considering we got down early.

Well, the CUSA pillow fight of the year is in Apogee next Saturday vs 1-6 nutsack. We'll see how bad our bad is then.

LOL.  True.

The only reason I don't feel very good about getting a win next week is because we can't beat UTSA when we're good so I have a hard time convincing myself we'll beat them when we're bad.

FG kept it possible 3 score game no points makes it 4 scores

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
