Holy hell, the offensive line is just soo soo bad. Fine actually starting to look really pissed about it.

If SL won't fire someone than the entire staff needs to go. SL included.  

This was Dickey's problem as well.  Too loyal to his staff.

I hate to say it, but SL has to make some changes or he isn't the guy.

Hello, bottom 10!

[RBTX]

Can't run, can't throw, can't protect the QB, can't stop anything on D.

[Big Z]

Quitters 

[keith]

There's definitely a team on the field that looks 1-9.

[RBTX]

and getting tricked by our own plays

[Salsa_Verde]

They’ve quit

Fine has missed 3 or 4 throws he makes in his sleep.  He isn't right.   Don't keep him out there.

Fine didn't sound right at his press conference. I don't think he is even close to healthy. I agree. SL needs to pull him before he gets hurt worse.

Exactly. I keep saying I won't watch then find myself crawling back week after week with a child's optimism that maybe this week will be different. We've seen this play before, know what is going to happen, yet still keep coming back. Maybe one day I'll learn... 

OK, I'm being serious this time. I am really done with this team for the rest of this season. Players and coaches have obviously quit on each other so no need to continue to subject myself to this torture hoping that each game will be different because it really won't be 

[RiseUNT]

This is Kansas State's fault!

[jtm0097]

The players have quit on the coach. I haven't seen the team do this since Portland State. Piss poor effort. 

[letsgiveacheer]

I saw the same thing at Charlotte.

[meangreenbob]

This game is over. Put in Aune. 

[Green Lantern]

We have zero excuses for this year’s team to be worse than Seth’s first year squad. Yet here we are. Unreal.

Can they tackle or cover? Or play DL

Or OL?  You build teams from the inside out.  Even coverage doesn't matter much if the QB can wait for coverage to breakdown.  This looks horrible for next year unless we have a crop of 3 star ready to play lineman coming into the program.  The only thing Mac may have done well was recruit and coach linemen.

I was about to say this is the Portland State game of the SL era. He needs to make significant staff changes or he can kick rocks.

[Matt from A700]

Pathetic. At the beginning of the season our marketing department was campaigning Fine for Heisman. Now look how far we've fallen.

[Harden]

In over a quarter, Mason has 7 yards passing, Rice's backup running back 27 yards.  What the hell is going on?!

[MEANGREENCOACH2]

GG boys

[meaniegreenie]

If THIS team gave Rice 8 plays from inside the 10, they'd score 9 times!. (yes, you read that right)

Players don't look like this unless they have lost faith in SOMEONE.  Not sure that is the the HC. 

I have heard from more than one person that the players know the DC is gone at the end of the year.  What does that tell them?  It tells them that this is unacceptable and we'll fix it NEXT YEAR.  Kind of hard to stay focused THIS YEAR.

If that’s the case would much rather them have made the move now and at least had someone make an attempt at coordinating the D  for these last few games. 

[NorthTexasWeLove]

One point eight. 

Yay us!!! 

[keith]

Uh-oh.
