****OFFICIAL RICE vs UNT GAME DISCUSSION THREAD****

[Coffee and TV]

I can throw a football no further than that pass and I could have completed it. 

[yyz28]

This is so pathetic. I’m so sick of how totally unprofessional we look. We’ve never figured out how to get past these important games.

[El Paso Eagle]

The receiver that just cost a touchdown for Rice if not even on their depth chart

[MeanGreen22]

Holy hell… catch the ball. Get them boys some stickum

[NorthTexasWeLove]

I'm so freaking inspired. These Seth Littrell teams always get me JACKED UP!!!!!!

[Glory to the Green]

Ragdsale has been great, but we’re really missing Ayo and Adaway. Rotating those guys in really gives our offense a different energy.  This first half was tough to watch. 

[Green Crazy]

Not sure if this had been said but Mason is in the house.

It is clear Seth is abandoning what we do well (run the ball) to pad Aune’s numbers.   
 

Now we can have records that don’t tell the true story.  

Aune could throw it 180 times today and he’d still have less pass attempts than Fine did in the season he set the single-season TD pass record. Even if he was throwing more today to get the record, Aune would still have gotten there on less passes. Wet field and defense loading up to stop the run is a more likely explanation for why more passing makes sense.

Yeah, did you see his second pass attempt of the game. I've seen that same play countless times. My eyes bleed. My heart hurts. 2a high school kids execute that on Friday nights, every Friday night.

The dreaded second half is coming 😪

[C Rod]

WKU is in a battle with FAU. 38 seconds from OT…

And regardless of how many times he throws the ball today he's not gonna have as many wins in the regular season as Mason did

Let me just ask you this simple question.  
 

Assuming we win today, if I told you that your choices heading down to San Antonio were: 

1) Mason Fine in his prime

or 

2) Austin Aune on the absolute best day of his career

 

Who are you trusting to lead us against UTSA?   And be honest.

Mason

FAU misses the game winning kick. OT. 

[C Rod]

FAU missed the 46 yd fg to win it in walk-off fashion. Headed to OT 24-24

Mason.  Or Austin with a better coach.

[meangreanmick]

This is coming embarrassingly close to the us being able to lose today and back into the championship if FAU pulls this out.   If we do, we should go ahead and Fire Seth now.

I guess that simple question answer part slip by you.

[El Paso Eagle]

Attendance today? 

[TheColonyEagle]

I don’t know how I’d feel: losing today and still getting in the championship game. If we lose today part of me just wants WKU to go and let’s pull the plug. 

[Stix]

for those listening to the "radio" broadcast: Wow, what an inspiring speech from Littrell - NOT.

I will never root for us to lose but I also wont cry if this leads to the last of Seth

I really really really prefer not to have this internal conflict. Garbage conference and we're just another team in it. Even UTSA's win loss is a facade this season.
