Brett that was funny.

I saw a lack luster team struggle at times and not cover the spread against a super bad FBS team. We suck bad. Everyone associated with the football program should be fired.

Frankly I’m shocked at Gunnell’s arm strength. I don’t see the tight release with zip or much mobility. I guess I haven’t quite figured out all the ridiculous star ratings for recruiting.

He walks with a little limp. I wonder if that’s a new thing that’s affecting his throw?

Wasn’t at the game yesterday, but Gunnell seems like a very washed up QB at this point. Don’t know what happened to him, but it’s obvious as to why he ended up here. He can’t play…

Definately has an issue with his gait.  I was thinking it may just be he is bowlegged but you are right it could be an injury causing it.

Ever stop to think “Quarterbacks can START at other programs before transferring here, or can leave here to start at other programs, maybe it’s not the players who are ‘washed up’”?

Exactly. At some point, we've got to start looking at our coaches. Other programs have success bringing in P5 transfers and getting the most out of them. How come we can't do that?

I thought there was a moment when Ruder was primed to go in (after GG’s pick). I guess the coaches reconsidered?  
At this point, I don’t care who gets the start, I’m just tired of seeing consistently overthrown/underthrown balls to our open receivers. It’s frustrating.

I am not impressed with what I've seen thus far.  I don't fault the kid, but the Offensive Coordinator has done a terrible job at putting guys in a position to be successful.  He is absolutely horrific at his job and needs to be resign to assistant walk on coordinator.  Also, how can you expect a QB to perform, and will not hire a real QB coach.  Hell, go get Mason Fine to come back and coach since you want every QB to be him.  We can't move on because the coaching staff still acting like they in bed the the players who are gone.

There has not been one quarterback that transferred into this program that has been more successful than where he was at when he arrived. It is freaking hilarious that people won't acknowledge the issue with a lack of a quarterback coach and a crappy ass offensive scheme and system under Seth. But hey let's keep blowing smoke up everyone's asses and talk about how we're just about to the point of reaching some new level.

Maybe at this point we should just implement the wishbone and quit acting like we have a quarterback

The fact our coaching staff hasn’t been able to sign someone better than Aune the last 2 years is embarrassing. Total failure at identifying talent and developing it. 

My main takeaway from last night is our defense has regressed back to 2020. Our secondary can’t cover anyone. Our offense looked solid outside of Aune’s usual inconsistencies.

We can win games as long as Aune is throwing 15ish times a game. Just pound the rock, maintain possession, and hope to god we don’t have to play from behind.

We already have a quarterback who was coached by Mason Fine. He plays linebacker.

Well, I agree on the coaches part, but he ended up here for a coach that is clearly on the hot seat. That would suggest he didn’t have many choices—the others see that he’s no longer what he was at Arizona…

A lot of y'all put a ton of expectations on Gunnell early on based on some Arizona tape.    It's clearly not the same guy out there limping around.  

It's time to face facts.   Austin Aune is the best QB we have on the roster.   And quite honestly, he should be able to win games for us.  But I really don't think he's being set up to succeed.    There's a reason why the run game works so well for NT.

Maybe we should go to two tight ends and just tell people we're running and stop us if you can

That suggestion basically won us 5 straight games to end the season last year...

With the teams we face the rest of the way there's no reason we cannot be successful running the ball. I may have a lot of issues with the staff but I do believe in Coach Cobbs

I would also add that I believe we should go to ball control from the beginning of the game. If we get behind by a couple scores not sure we have the offense to catch up or the defense to stop the opponents

      Cotton, Vice And Mason

      I would also like to see Vice and Mason get more minutes. They looked good in the limited action I saw them. Senior privilege minutes for Sissoko and Stone are at the expense of better players.

      The Band

      I know this isn't the most important topic, but I was curious as to what others thought. I live across the country so I can't attend games unfortunately, but from watching it on TV is it just me or has the band declined in quality in the last few years? When the camera shows them they look undisciplined/inattentive, some are just wandering around chatting. I see other bands together and ready to play as soon as a play is over. The size seems to have ballooned and now sprawls across 2 sections of the stands, and despite that they sound worse. The director also doesn't seem to know that the purpose of the band is to hype up the team/crowd, and put pressure on the opposing team on 3rd downs. Play something intimidating on 3rd down! When they do play it seems like they just have a bank of songs they go through in order without considering the situation on the field. The selection of music is bad, and it doesn't seem like they have any variety of songs to connect with the crowd, many bands will play classic and modern hits to get the crowd into things. Like I said I don't know if this is true or not since I can only judge on what I see on broadcasts, what's the in-game experience like?

      What is this program missing?

      I think if you did the G5 national championship thing....and the players only got the schollie and a stipend.......I think it would draw fans like crazy. I think there are loads of folks who want amateur athletics to stay amateur. With what we draw and get in donations.....there is no way we should be paying a football coach over $1m. No way. So yeah amateur athletics, tighten the budget. These coaching staffs are huge now. Do folks not know that we now have a bigger recruiting staff.....than Hayden Fry had for an entire staff. He had six assistants. And it was better, more imaginative football. But this will likely never happen. As all these schools think they're just a break away from the "big time."

      How 'Bout Some Blame For The BOR?

      This. Unless/until the BOR and Administration decide to "...make winning at revenue sports a priority", we will only have the occasional good season more or less by accident.

      WBB at Houston (11/24/24)

      We all know you hate baseball. If you make a dollar selling a ticket, it's revenue, and a revenue sport. Profit is different. Few college sports make a profit for an Athletic Department at the G5 level. Baseball (as opposed to golf, swimming, track, etc) would lure fans to campus in the spring, spur donations, as well as tickets and merchandise. It's not always about making money (profit)...it's keeping relationships with fans and alums year-round. Non-revenue sports aren't doing it.
