It's hard not to feel for MF given the circumstances, and he's a class act all the way.  I like his attitude - #GoOutSwinging

Wow.   
That's not the same guy I'm used to seeing during these pressers.  He's usually very upbeat & positive, even after losses.  He just looks/sounds defeated... for the first time.

It was hard to hear, but I bet it was mostly a reaction to stupid questions.

He's gotten the shit beaten out of him all year, and really, his whole career here. That's almost 4 years of being hammered into the ground that has finally taken its toll on the poor guy. He deserved better...

He seemed very tired, and that's probably because he just came out of practice. At the same time, he is probably tired of getting hit 20 times a game.

Sure, but we’ve seen him after practice & after games several times.   Normally, you put a mic in front of him & you get a chipper guy that loves football excitedly regurgitating coach speak...  Even after devastating losses.

Not today though.

In this day and age of protecting the QB, it just appears to me that our opponents never get called for roughing.  Half of the hits he takes are after he releases the ball and are borderline.  An example from the Charlotte game was the TD pass to Darden.  You can't tell me that defender couldn't have let up seeing that he had released the ball.

He did just throw for almost 400 yards and 5 touchdowns with no interceptions and his team lost so I would be defeated too if you did everything possible to win the game and your defense $h!t the bed

The most candid and real talk I’ve heard from anyone on the team since SL took over.

Vizza threw two interceptions, both in the 2nd half. 

 

Mason didnt turn the ball over helping the other team which Vizza was notorious for (20 INT's in 2007).

I can't blame him. 🙁

      What did you pay? I thought individual sessions would be $20-25, and now I'm seeing resale tickets via AAC website for < $10.

      UNT enrollment declining

      I'm sure the Master's programs that UNT is seeing enrollment drops in are the university's top profit center. Their student population probably uses the least amount of on-campus resources during the program compared to undergrads and PhDs, and they're probably overpaying or seeing less student aid usage to be in the programs. The flip side of the coin is that it's entirely possible that people are starting to realize that employers don't really care about Master's level paper as much as they did 20+ years ago. As the state of the world is going this week, if there is a prolonged economic downturn and a depressed hiring market for undergrads, most universities generally see an uptick in kids graduating and keeping on with it into a Master's program. I would advise undergrads that they're lighting money on fire, but if you can't find a job or start paying on loans, it can seem like a real option to keep learning. Will it result in a higher level of pay once they first time enter the workforce? Probably not, especially in today's world of AI threatening lower entry-level jobs, and H-1Bs threatening the rest. But the average Gen X parents will still push University degrees as a solution to all their unemployed kids' problems, just like the Boomer parents did before them.

      Speakeasy Scrappy Hour

      Great bar environment and even better seafood restaurant next door. If you want a killer Italian Meat sandwich, arrive early enough to get one from Enzo's next door. Points if you sneak it into the Wilfred. 😅 Kudos to getting them to change the door pincode. I think it had been set to the year of Woodstock since the Wilfred opened.

      Coach O to Texas State

      Is it lateral if: TX State goes to the PAC-Reboot with one other AAC Team that isn't us Memphis and USF go to the ACC UTEP is in Mountain West We're suddenly playing Sam Houston and Tarleton State in a combined AAC-USA? That's nightmare fuel for me, and seems entirely possible if Mosley keeps on Mosleying along with status quo.
