Time to drop football. No more embarrassment.

So the band sounds great … at least there’s that …

Genuine question though... How the Hell do we still even have a football team? I mean we've had virtually no success whatsoever, haven't appeared in the top 25 since the 50's, we got so bad that we we

We will play 3-6 bad teams, and that will allow us to feel like we are a solid team.  We aren't.  Cal is a below average team that looked like a top-10 team.  They will finish in the bottom half of their conference, and if we finish near the top of our conference, then that will just show the P5-G5 disparity.  We might improve throughout the year, but regardless, the season story has been written: we are a bad team that will only beat really bad teams.

This team isn't even sniffing the top half of AAC. that game was dodgeball 2.0 (morrisball). Lovely if they surprise us, but I don't see how

I should also point out that it's OK, as others have pointed out, that we are a basketball school.  We can't afford to get enough players through NIL for a full football roster, but basketball is a little different.  That's simply the economic reality...

NIL will kill us bottom feeders. Any players that emerge in the cellars of the G5 will instantly get snatched up by bigger programs. Oh well….

I have never seen so much gloom and doom, yes it was bad but it will get better. The good thing is that we now finally have expectations of winning. When we don’t win we get pissed, good but we were the underdog, we played a good opponent from a better conference.  We are moving up the ladder and will continue to.  My grandmother used to say if it were easy everyone could do it, well it is not easy but we will do it, eventually.

That's the problem. After that game... We have low expectations of winning. I personally see 1 guaranteed win on our schedule now, and I had low expectations to begin with

But Jesus, can we have a competitive loss for once this decade. I'm venting/ranting. Please excuse this but I'm so irritated...

This is one game, the first of the season, new coaches, players, systems etc.  it will get better.  The question is will it be enough.  

I touched on this when our schedule came out.  We will get better as the season progresses, but it will be just in time for the strongest opponents.  Don’t get your hopes up.

We could easily be 0-3 by the ACU game!  Is ACU any good?  Ugh

Well . . . 

Other than the offensive line, defensive line, passing game, running game, and special teams we looked pretty good.

The facilities are great, and I especially like having my choice of seats in the second half.  That's a North Texas tradition we should keep.

Meanwhile G5 Texas State is giving P5 Baylor all they can handle in Waco. 28-13 at the half.

Not a great start but what exactly did we expect? New HC. New OC. New DC (and a very different scheme!).

I expect we'll make significant improvement. Maybe go slightly under .500 in conference play. Still should get to 6-6. Great? No... Would we have played better w/ Littrell and his coordinators from last year? Most probably. But I do think Littrell had reached his ceiling here so no reason to dwell on what could be. Morris is our HC and he'll make us better.

Colorado showed us today what we should expect. In the era of portal and NIL the rules are entirely different.

Not saying we should emulate them, but change should produce positive results

It’s the same broken record every year. It’s the same pattern. It never changes. We never come out at the start of the season with any kind of credibility. We get a little better throughout the year, even beating a few lousy teams to make it seem like a decent year and something to build on. And then the new year begins and it starts all over. It’s BS. And people are getting rich putting on this crap show. 
We either lack the quality athletes needed to win or great coaching or both. 
Amazing what UTSA has accomplished in such a short period of time. Something we haven’t been able to do in 100 years. 
Maybe it’s time to pull the plug on this circus.

SMU is breathing a sigh of relief they got out in time. NT just brings down conference prestige. We’re the unattractive friend that unexpectedly showed up to a dinner party. You’re hoping to pick up a lady quick and get the hell out of there. 

I don’t blame smu. After 53 years I’m starting to see us that very way myself.

Eric morris is not Deion sanders. Deion is a very, very unique coach. 
 

I like many am more concerned about our general lack of competitiveness when we’re playing on national tv. When’s the last time we had a good showing to a national audience?

      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.

      Chris Jimmerson

      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.
