I hope he’s not in the transfer portal.

LOL.  Nope. Sorry to disappoint a lot of you.   A lot have already  written him off, but has been most consistent this spring so we will see what happens.

No disappointment here.  I was excited about his arrival and I look forward to his making a significant contribution this season.  His doing well in spring drills and then not participating in the spring game concerned me.

Thank you for you and your family’s thick skin. We get moody around here. Your son deserves as much shot at the starting job as anyone else on the roster.

This can’t be overstated.  All of it.

@NWKGREEN, you’re very brave coming on here.  I don’t think I’d be able to calmly reply to people giving my son a hard time.  Hope Jace is at a place where he can compete this Fall.

Consistently what? Just teasing. Big Ruder fan here. Rooting for him (and Stone) to do great things here.

Based on what I've seen and heard I'd prefer Earle were starting, but at this point I hope Ruder overtakes Aune as well.

Basically anybody but Aune. Don't have anything against him, but we know what he is and what he isn't. Give somebody else a shot

So are you saying you would only want them to play if they are better than Aune and you hope that they are? Or are you saying play any of the other 3 regardless of whether they are better or not because you know what Aune is and you don’t like it?

More of the first, but to a degree, I wouldn't mind seeing someone else anyways. We hit our stride because of our run game, not because of QB play. If we can get even a slight improvement at the position I'll take it.

I can't count how many times I was ripping my hair out at games because Aune couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Especially in the bowl game. Miami stuffed our run game and he couldn't make it up in the passing game. Meanwhile Gabbert on the other end was tearing us apart.

Obviously I want the best player to start, I'm just hoping it'll be someone else.

Believe us, I feel like most of us want him to be the guy over Aune this year

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
