Why should anyone buy season tickets next season?

 

"It's your duty as an alumnus/fan/resident" is not an answer. If that's Wren Baker's answer, then we're worse off than I thought...

 

So much negativity right now...…can anyone list a positive surrounding the program heading into 2021?

Facility upgrades and coaching salaries are definitely an uptick in the right direction. That's all I got. 

True....

 

Maybe Wren Baker can put that on some marketing material....

We've nearly hit rock bottom and the only place to go is up? On a serious note, I'm not worried about all of these transfers. As long as they aren't our recent highly touted recruiting classes, I'm fine. This program needed a cleansing and shift in culture, so you either buy in or you don't. Also, as I've said in previous posts, I feel like the coaches told a lot of these players that they aren't in future plans so look to go elsewhere which is why there seems to be a mass exodus all at once.

  • Facility improvements
  • Recruiting has improved 
  • We have started build depth on the O-line
  • It seems that our staff under Seth has worked on improving relationships with Local/State High School coaches*.

*We seem to have a few recent Grads who are coaching. I hope we are keeping in close contact with them and using them as ambassadors for the University. we need to continue to build relationships with regional schools.

The offense put up great number last yr in spite of a challenging QB situation.  Our OL has improved.  Recruiting has been a bright spot.  We are full of offensive playmakers and we at least moved on from a defensive scheme that didn’t work.  More student interest.  Better facilities.  Best draft candidate in some time.

Just waiting for the obligatory Necessary Roughness Wally halftime speech clip.

But seriously, we just had our first consensus All American in 50 years and just signed our highest rated recruit of the recruiting site era. It isn’t all bad in Mean Green land right now.

My list of ten would be:

NT is my school and I am going to support it. 

The QB race will be very interesting

Always want to see the new players perform

NT's offense could be even better than last year

NT's defense will be better than last year, how much is the question

The offensive line should be the best in a long time

Littrell is coaching to keep his job

NT IMO has the best situation to be successful in the league (ie; budget, facilities, location)

Hopefully, the Virus will be enough in control, to allow full stadiums

To see if CUSA football can significantly improve it status among G5 leagues

These awesome 2019, 2020, and 2021 classes are still almost fully intact. Excited to see what we look like as these guys start to make up the meat of the roster, not just the backend depth and redshirts.

      College Football’s 12-Team Playoff Finally Arrived—and It Was a Complete Dud

      Nothing new here. When I was in high school, the only school that advanced to the playoffs was the district champion. For whatever reason, the UIL allows 4 teams today. Majority of lower seeds almost always get blown out in the first round. Same with the NCAA basketball tournament that expanded from around 12 back in the 70's to 65 or 66. Most result in blowouts. I agreed with a modest expansion but not the current 65. They are now talking about over 70. Everything is 100% about money and the quality of the product left some time ago.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      All the first round games were basically blowouts. Who cares what people thought going in EXCEPT Vegas. Texas -11 vs Clemson PSU -8.5 vs SMU Ohio State -7.5 vs Tennessee Notre Dame -6.5 vs Indiana I think Indiana being a long bus ride away from Notre Dame was the only reason the game was more competitive than the others. And I turned off that game early partly because in the trenches, it didn’t look competitive early on. Hell I think Army might have been more competitive than SMU. But they subjectively chose (before the Army vs Navy game) Conference Championship game loser over Conference Championship game winner and everyone debating Alabama. 🙄. Utter BS.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      If everything will go the way you think it will go then why do we play the games or even schedule games with spreads over 14 points? The underdogs in College Football are in a perpetual no win situation. Get the upset there in the regular season are a ton of excuses and devaluation of what your program accomplished. Close loss then the naysayers devalue that also (SMU vs Clemson and the push to shoe in Alabama a team that lost to the Tennessee team that got blown out by Ohio State). I want teams to prove it on the field. And since the big brand teams have always been invested in scheduling the easiest path to the post season. NOT EVEN APPEARING in your conference championship game should be majorly punitive. So I don’t give a crap what people think Alabama (or anyone else would do). They lost to Vandy and a bad OU team. And they could have scheduled a decent FBS team instead of home scrimmages against Western Kentucky and Mercer. Or they could kept a SEC conference membership where they play more than half of the teams in the conference in a season. The worst aspect of boxing that killed it popularity was the ranking organizations a chicken hearted scheduling. I hate subjectivity in sports that have easy scoring rules. And putting in a team that didn’t appear in their conference championship game in a better playoff position than a conference champion or championship game loser is 100% based on subjectivity if the teams did not play head to head and have the same win/loss record. Maybe I will be in the minority of College Football fans over 35. But I will have no interest in the opening round of CFP if they start routinely subjectively punishing Conference Champions over teams that failed to appear in their conference title game. Go look at the SEC standings; even arguing Alabama over Ole Miss getting that spot is subjective garbage. Both are 9-3 overall and 5-3 in SEC play. But almost universally people are lamenting Alabama not being included. The stupidity and greed of the SEC had border state rivals in the same conference not play each other this year. 🙄. To me that is the outrage. Maybe if they had played each other we one of them would be in the playoff and SMU fans couldn’t have had a reasonable protest if that happened.

      I already wonder how long he's going to stay anyway. Is he expected to challenge P-barger for the starting position? If not, do we expect him to take the job in year 2 or would it be more likely that EM brings in another experienced QB. Whatever we do, I don't want ANY consideration regarding lost eligibility to factor into whether he plays or not. Edit: I posted before seeing this which is definitely good news.
