Well, if you were in Albuquerque you might forgive him for being a bit of a “half-full” guy right now.

Super Bowl 51 comes to mind.

Brady threw the ball 62 times, and the defense gave up 28.

After 53-13 thumping he should write something happy go lucky, right? 

Psh. 

Then talk about the 52-13 ass kicking.  Instead Vito has to pile on with negative speculation as to what may or may not happen in the future.  Typical.

Mason Fine is special and may be irreplaceable.  

However, this is not the same North Texas team of the pasts, where recruiting top notch QB's was a real problem.    Our staff has been recruiting some pretty good QB talent.   I can almost guarantee that at least one of them is going to be pretty damn good.    Will they be Mason good ?   I don't know.   But, I think we will be happy with what we have coming up through the system.

Other QB's see the success that Mason has had here.    That is a huge selling point and appears to be paying off with this staff.

With that said, you guys are correct.   To become a conference championship team, we need depth and more talent at the other positions (outside of WR and QB right now).

I agree Fine will be hard to replace but I think Martin is the qb for the future.  We don't need a great qb we just need a good one with a great OL to protect him.  When qb have the time to throw they tend to look great.  I think of the LATECH game, we didn't touch their qb all night and he had a career night against us.  He was pretty average in their other games. It all starts up front. I know OL people are hard to find but we have to make it a priority in recruiting.  You can have all the receivers in the world but they do you no good unless the qb has the time.  I dont think I will see another Mason Fine in my lifetime.  

How come it seems like Mason has been here such a short time and Stockstill seems like he has been at MTSU since the 1970's

      🙄 like I have stated before DC under a lame duck coach is not a highly desired job for coaches with options.

      That is very subjective. Boise State or UNLV probably will get the G5 spot in the playoff over a one loss Army team. Louisville, SMU, Houston, Rutgers and Cincinnati left conference for greener pastures. So I don’t know who anointed the AAC as 5th, but the playoff committee isn’t listening to them. Army, a team brand new to the conference that came into the conference and dominated. They were independent juggernauts last year at 6-6 🙄. AAC is viewed as better than the MAC, CUSA and Sun Belt. But we certainly won’t be viewed as better than the reconstructed PAC 12 and right now it doesn’t look like we are viewed better than the current MWC.

      Don't if y'all know this or not.....but the last two years we've had Texas high school football games played in Louisiana. Both years the games have been at Turpin Stadium in Natchitoches. As a matter of fact, this year they hosted two games on the same day. (Daingerfield versus Newton, and Texarkana versus Port Neches Grove). Both games were last Friday.

      The exact same thing was probably thought by other fan bases about Eric, Seth, Dan, and any other head coach we’ve hired here.
