Bryce English is there.   Don't we only travel guys that will be suiting up?   Or is the Bowl Game different & everyone goes?

Believe they can travel 115

He has been to other games like the FAU games

Tommy McDonald, former Philadelphia Eagle WR went to Oklahoma.  When he was a freshman (or maybe sophomore since frosh couldn't play then) he was not on the travel squad.  It was Texas-Oklahoma weekend.  coach Bud Wilkerson told him if he could find a ride to Dallas he could suit out and stand on the sidelines.  Injuries happened and McDonald got his number called.  He came on the field and won the game winning touchdown pass. 

Maybe we will see Bryce English Saturday.

I noticed Coach Ref limping around this year and  wondered  what the issue was.  Here's to a quick recovery and growth on the D side of the ball next year like we say on the O side this year.

*See the troll is still trollin'.  Or someone really dislikes Ref and doesn't want improved D.

The dude gave up 3 blow out games... 2 vs the same team, and 1 was a CUSA RECORD....  and he allowed Sutton to have a 4 TD game.... on top of 2 more terrible performance that the defense had vs UAB, Army... 

In total the defense has been bad in 5 games, or basically 40% of the season.. (actually % is 38.5, but you get my drift)...

He should have been replaced after the first FAU, and please don't say the defense improved after that.. Look at who we played.. ODU, Rice and UTEP... 

The offense took major steps forward, Special Teams had to adjust to Biagi, but the defense had the same guy and REGRESSED with our 2 best DBs looking completely lost for the 1st half of the year in McClain and Brooks only recently coming back.

This thread is about Reffett's health, but I'm glad to see you still want to dwell on our bad losses.

If I'm everon my way to the UNT Health Center, maybe we'll pass each other on campus and you can hive five me for failing Music History.

Sandwiched in between the FAU games, the last 4 conference games we allowed a total of 6 (SIX!) offensive touchdowns.

In fact, against all conference teams not named FAU, we allowed a total of 18 offensive TDs, with a high of 6 vs UAB and then 4 against USM. So 10 in those first two games, and then 8 TDs for the other 5. That ain't bad.

  • FAU is really good and better than us right now
  • The defense did its job against bad teams especially after letting off the gas early on UAB
  • Obviously the defense needs to improve but it's not a death knell. It's consistency and execution in all 3 phases.

Disclaimer: 61.5% sure my numbers are right.

How about those Air Jordan track jackets!? When are those going on sale??

It would be something of a coup if we were to announce as a Jordan-brand Nike school. There's only like four out there including Michigan and Oklahoma.

UTEP/Rice he should have done that.. UTSA couldn’t move the football this year and the OC got canned for it.. He went up against 3 of probably the 5 worst offenses in CUSA and did his jump.. 

The idea he gets a pass for the FAUs/ SMU beats are hilarious because he stopped Rice, UTEP, and UTSA.. ODU also had a true freshman at QB as well.. LOL yea Reff had 4 cupcake games and he did his job.. 1 vs a team that runs and he had faced 3 times (Army) and he gives up 500 yards.. oh also, LT had a darn Centerfielder playing QB LOL and still nearly beat us with 20 guys missing that game..

Reffett can make sure he has a job next year by shutting down Troy. Otherwise, if its the same ole Defense that's going to give up lots of points and possibly a loss... hey maybe he needs to move on.

Firing the DC in the middle of the year would have been foolish.  I was talking about the season in my original post, I was talking his health and my wish to see our D improve.  Guess you disagreed with those wishes.  Carry on.

Who's giving him a pass? No one is giving a pass. The defense must get better. They did their jobs when they had to, but they can do a whole lot better.

See this point

You made the point he did his jump outside of FAU, USM, UAB.. 

Hell only did his job outside of it because the other programs had terrible offenses.. when this defense faces an able QB it gets shredded.. 

I’m sorry but he needs to go.. to many beat downs, a defense that has regressed.. let’s just hope he can put up a performance like he did vs UTSA the last time they had 2 weeks to prep for a game

I remember them announcing shortly after the uniform reveal at the beginning of the year that all the coaches were going to travel in “jumpman” gear.  Not sure if there’s a specific agreement there, or if that’s just what they chose to purchase.

      Keebler has to go!

      I've been griping about this for decades at this point. It is amazingly dumb and does nothing for us. Did he have a better deal on the table? Unlikely.. Would it keep him here if he did well and a big program came calling. No. It doesn't do a dang thing for us. Yet again, and again,and again, and again we do it. It costs us every single time.

      The point stands that we aren’t buying out three years of Morris’ contract. He will got one more year, at least, to sell the leadership on why he should keep his job.

      Keebler has to go!

      It’s simply a coach’s decision imo. In 2009 I watched TCU’s Jaden Oberkrom line up and attempt a 60 yarder for Arlington Martin vs Trinity at Pennington….as a Freshman. Trinity jumped off sides so he kicked from 55 and just missed to the right by a foot. It would have been good from 65. I promise he was kicking in Junior High and if he wasn’t that’s all on the coaches.. Both years my son played for Weatherford Hall Middle School against Aledo, 7th and 8th grade, Aledo kicked all their extra points. It’s part of the game, and Aledo hires people that demand all of the game be taught and coached. Nothing about their special teams are missed, just like the rest of their game. But this didn’t surprise anyone because Aledo had just had a kid, Chance Nevarez on their varsity set the national record for the most extra points made in a row. Buchanon demanded it, so his Junior High coaches demanded it. So just like everything, if a coach decides it’s not in his interest then he’s not gonna demand it and coach it. Same for installing a short yardage play from under center. If the coach isn’t interested in it and instead thinks handing off 5 yards deep to make 6 inches is the best way, despite how many times he’s seen that not work….then his team will never develop one. Same for kickers in Junior high. Rick
