So bad we don't even have locks in there?

Sounds like we need COPS in there.

What kind of shit is this? Could an outsider gain access or do we have scum like that in the family?

Mac's complete dereliction of his duties has permanently ruined his image to me. I mean say what you want about recruits, 2013 was fun. It's just so obvious now that Mac just absolutely abandoned this team LAST year. Truly unforgivable. I feel scammed.

FIXED.

Thanks for the insight SSP. We need an attitude change in that locker room. If the players aren't on board then there is the door, good luck in FCS. I am tired of seeing guys on the sideline goofing off and having a grand old time when we are getting plowed on the field. It is EMBARRASSING. There is nothing funny about getting your ass whipped. Don't get me wrong, there are some players who give a crap and have some pride in their play. We just need more of them.

My dad told me Jimmy Johnson used to kick players off the team if they acted too happy or joked around after a loss. His philosophy was that players should never be comfortable with losing. I think the new coach needs to implement this policy.

I didn't really know it got that bad last year, but not surprised.

Read Pony fans thread before our game if you want the truth. It isn't allowed to be spoken here. His contract should have been voided, not paid off.

Typical Rick Villarreal.

The next coach will run off a large portion of this roster. Once you have proven that you will quit and that poor character is allowed to run amok on the sidelines and in the locker room, the new sheriff in town has very little choice but to run off anyone who won't conform to his ways.

Don't feel sorry for anyone who leaves here, whether its to transfer or quit football altogether. It needs to happen. Although I think we are closer to bottoming out as a program, if it hasn't happened already, getting rid of some of the quitters on this roster will get this needed process to happen before things can get improved. This year, at Kansas, David Beaty inherited one of the worst P5 teams of all-time, leading to an 0-12 season. But that bottoming out and roster updating is necessary for the program to move forward. Maybe he won't get things turned around up there, but this season had to happen for them. Similar to SMU having to go 2-10 under Morris. You just have to have a retrenching year where the record doesn't matter, but getting experience and getting stronger and faster will pay off in the years to come. Years ago, South Carolina hired Lou Holtz and his first team went 0-12. But the next year, he went 9-4 and beat Ohio State in a NYD bowl game. So don't fret if we only win 2 or less games next year. It will be all about having a complete retrenching. Without a QB or a defense of any talent or size right now, that's what you have to try and find pieces for to get in better shape for 2017 and beyond.

It pains me to make the comparison, but TCU went through the same process entering the Big 12.

The whole Grey Goose comments were funny but in reality the issue was much deeper.  Mac wasnt in the right mind last year, stroke, losing his brother, losing, etc.  That fed into other areas, coaches and the players.  He should've stepped down or taken an LOA.

But don't you dare be brash on Twitter or on the field, or you're a piece of trash.  
Give me the goof-offs & quitters over guys like that.

Right guys??

Oh, does your pendulum have a stop in the middle? I've only seen them where it's possible to swing very far in both directions...

The new coach will have to clean house if there is any hope of resurrecting this mess.

Ask that question again when the Mean Green players have done something to be brash about. Nobody likes the showboat whose team is losing by 30 points.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
