He’s better than Todd Dodge, by a lot, but only because he didn’t bring in high school coaches.

But he’s just another Leach disciple—no defense, empty numbers, no championships.

His big year is next year and he knows it. 2021 either keeps him here or gets him fired. That’s what it’s all about for him...and really, that’s what we have to accept, no matter how many years he has been here and how much he has swindled us for. Without Graham Harrell, he is just a bad coach, no different than anyone else we have seen in Denton other than Fry and Corky.

Lots of wasted downs with Torrey when Siggers can do what Torrey does and more.  First half was a ****show but the second half, offensively, was mildly encouraging.  I know people want SL's head but who else do you think we could get here?  The defensive issues were probably going to be a given with the new staff and limited number of practices. Losing our best linebackers, especially in this hybrid offense defense, is why our defense couldn't stop the run.

I doubt the Davis's even have Covid, it's probably just contract trace protocol BS.

I’m not calling for Littrell’s head Yet but to answer this part...tons of people. We comp at the upper end of G5 and have good football facilities. Lots of qualified people would happily take this gig.

I want him to answer 1 simple question...why is his team so much worse than the one 30 miles down the road?  Pretty much every reason is directly under his control: i.e. recruiting, coaching (practice and game day), conditioning, etc. and he's had time to fully develop whatever "scheme" he' intending to implement.

I’m not saying I’m not heading in that direction, just not there yet. Last year was a GIGANTIC red flag. Today adds to the negative side of the ledger significantly as well. I do like the direction the recruiting has taken in the past couple of years.

The defense looks like it may be beyond saving this year but I’m willing to give it a couple more games to see if the younger players adjust to the speed of the game. They sure looked soft to me. If it doesn’t make a big leap in the next 2 games, this season will be lost. Willing to see it play out though.

Flying Worm uniforms totally wasted tonight.  Need to show up to play defense if you're going to break out a classic.  Certainly not if you're going to treat your so-called 'bitter rival' like Portland State.  Waiting to see what kind of a smiley face Wren paints on this performance.

We are so freaking soft. Our players are killing the turf. 

More like the turf was killing our players. How many guys went down periods tonight?  It was beautiful weather coming off of a week off. What do we pay our strength and conditioning coach for?

How many false starts have we had? I feel like there's a guy moving early on every snap

What did we end up with, 7+ false starts, including at least one on a receiver. Totally inexcusable.

Tonight was an embarrassment. Plain and simple. I don't believe $mut is a good team. We were just that bad. We looked like an FCS team tonight.

Our defensive culture has to change. This 10 yard cushion bullsh has to have been renamed the "North Texas" scheme by other schools by now. Weak ass arm tackling.  Corners biting on God knows what on that first drive that left the receiver wide ass open. Honestly, what the eff did he bite on?  I saw kids in 104 tracking the receiver better than our corner on that play. I don't think I've ever seen a corner try to key in on a quarterback who was simply rolling out, and just let his receiver go. There was no one in the same damn zip code to cover!  The play on 4th down was even worse. You have Buechelle dead to rights, and you can't even make the most basic of tackles!  Instead you stand straight up, stick out your forearm, and he just bounces off of you.  What the hell do they work on in practice?!

In my opinion the only positive I saw in the entire game was probably my adopted player, Oscar Adaway III. That guy is the real deal. With almost no blocking he was dragging SMU players for extra yards on every play. When we get to conference play Adaway could dominate most of the C-USA level defenses. He really is the only story worth following this season. Unless Wren fires Littrell and we get to speculate about a new coaching hire. By the way, he seemed to hobble off the field after his last play of the game. Hope he is okay. Here are Adaway's numbers....

Adaway 20 carries for 104 yards for 5.2 yards per carry

This.  700 yards given up.  Schmoo did to us what we did to HBU.  
 

This is Dodge 2.0.  Pitiful excuse for a defense out there last night.  This is a 1 or 2 win team.  Inexcusable for the money we are spending on this staff....especially in these times when scrutiny around budgets is only going to intensify.

      I'll be there. How is everyone feeling as we enter conference play? Overall I'm feeling good. We are 2nd in NET in the conference. The two best publicly available models, KenPom and Bart Torvik, have us as the 2nd best team in conference and finishing that way. Our defense has been really good; it's actually better than last season. The biggest improvement is in the defensive rebounding. We are pulling down 74.8% of defensive boards compared to 68% last year. Of course the team isn't without concerns. Although we start the same lineup every game, we haven't found a consistent closing one. There isn't a 'go to' scorer. The shot creation and/or shooting has been lacking in long stretches. So far our adjusted offensive efficiency is the lowest it's been since the 2019 season, but I don't think (hope) it will necessarily stay that way. I'd be disappointed if we don't finish at least top 4 in conference. The conference, as others have noted in many threads, just isn't as good as last season. Last season there were 4 other teams in the top 100 of KenPom and 7 in the top 150. This season there are 2 other teams in the top 100 and 5 in the top 150. Last year in conference we played 3 Q1 games and 5 Q2 games; this year we're projected to play 1 Q1 game and 3 Q2 games. A top 4 finish in conference means that we would need to win 3 games in Ft. Worth to go to the big dance. That's always the dream. The NIT as the consolation prize wouldn't be bad either. Could we host a NIT game again? Last year Indiana St., Princeton, and Bradley hosted opening round games. That would be a fun atmosphere.

      You have to consider many of these are the only entertainment option in town. Fargo, ND vs Denton. The entire state of ND follows the Bison.

      Is it just me or is Eric Morris destined for great things?

      It's just you bro. Same reason why you supported McCarney's #Hit6 campaign. The bar is in Hell.
