Really sad to go another year. I hate to say it but it really goes to the lack of talent we have had year after year. The players that we have give it their all, but those who recognize talent seem to be consistent in their opinions.  The 9 win seasons look that much better from this standpoint.

I don’t get anyone blaming our people in the department or staff for this? if it weren’t for Coach’s Littrell & Harrell MF might not have even gotten the chance? They evaluated him, brou

Nope. You're wrong.  Dead wrong.  So far up your own ass wrong you don't know what your small intestine is and what your colon is.

I wish there was a stronger button than a downvote for you.

It is an absolute embarrassment that this program is incapable of getting ONE player drafted. Especially considering we're in the most loaded area for high school talent in the nation.

This is the most embarrassing aspect of our program. This drought is absolutely "Old Denton", and ending it must be a priority for our athletic department. Don't think LA Tech and other C-USA programs won't point to our draft drought and try to pry recruits from us.

It is pointless to ask why we had another year without a player drafted. That ship has sailed. I want to know what our administration is going to do to make sure we have at least one player drafted next year? If we don't have that player on this roster right now, than we have to find him before next season starts. I'm tired of us having this annual conversation. I hope our athletic department is too.

Sad thing for fine is that of the teams he said were the most interested (saints, cowboys, eagles, 49ers, seahawks and jets) the only one to not have drafted or signed a UDFA so far is san Francisco. Those seem to be the teams I would think give him the beat shot. We'll see.

Lol. Come on though, the truth hurts. Its just reality. I love our school but we have ongoing problems in football. I think the direction of the program is improving still.

Just out of curiosity, what does the admin do to make that happen?  You think they're not trying to do that already?

There is no excuse at any level of the program to go 17 years without a draft pick. That is straight up ineptitude at every level.

I agree that its embarrassing. It frustrates me to see guys with talent not get drafted.  All this I get.  Now, what is it that they do to fix it.  And do you think they are trying to do this already? Administration has nothing to do with it. If you want to blame the coaching staff for not signing better talent or not raising the level of the talent they sign, that makes sense.

Well get ready for it next year, unless Darden blows up

I mean, I hear what you’re saying but the conference only had 10 guys get drafted so I would think that’s not really a huge selling point for anyone in the conference.

Although, I think Darden is super talented.  He's just small

      Not thrilled about playing State

      In a city of 4 million people, I'd sure hope you'd have at least double the attendance of little ol' San Marcos. The only reason ya'll ever sniffed a 5 star recruit is because E.O. was a momma's boy that didn't want to leave home (like most UH students actually). Nobody was talking smack, UH fans are just low class losers and overall poor sports. The only reason you're in the BIG 12 is your daddy Tillman paid for it. Nobody cares about UH in Houston, it's all about UT, A&M and LSU.

      Idiot president-elect proposes Canada as 51st state

      Once again Republicans create their own little economic dystopia for some reason because your retirement accounts have never been higher, unemployment has never been lower, and inflation lagged behind the rest of the world. Yeah the world's biggest welfare queen turning twitter into a cesspool of nazis, bots and crypto scammers. Throttling the political opposition and using illegal lotteries to try and buy votes. Suing companies because they dare choose not to advertise next to usernames like killk**es1488. Every time he makes another boneheaded announcement like allowing people to still see blocked tweets, or arbitration that has to be settled by a judge he's donated money to, threads/bluesky/mastadon get a bump in new users. The world's richest man's threats to shut down the government over the spending bill just got $190 million stripped away from childhood cancer research. Enjoy what's left of the federal government being sold off to billionaires with their added profit taxes because god forbid something not make money.

      Build the rivalry between Nort Texas (Good Guys) and Texas State (Someone needs to be the bad guys 🤣), and everyone can agree that we wish UTSA nothing but bad luck

      You cant talk about a fanbase when we double your attendance. Funny how 4 and 5 star guys come play football and basketball in 3rd Ward but won't even look in San Marcos' direction. When opposing fans talk smack and try to start fights atnthe game, they get beer, red paint, etc dumped on them. Oh well. Texas Tech does even worse stuff. Hell, everything Tech and UH play each other, there's always a brawl in the stands. Lmao

      If the owners of this stie didn't need the visits/posts from you, you'd be gone...which is extremely pathetic on many, many levels.
