As they say about hindsight ....

It is clear now that while Morris might have presented a good plan, his estimations for defense were completely missed. The question becomes, can he adjust and admit that his defensive vision was wrong? My concern is that the coaches from the Leach Tree have very little success when it comes to the defensive side of the ball.

Agreed. 9 games into the season. Defense is awful. What has Morris done to fix things at this point in the season? It's the same thing week after week after week after week after week after week after week after week after week...and the defense is consistently W E A K!

With three moral victories in a row, UNT just became moral bowl eligible.

But remember the players like them and it motivates them. Just think how poorly they might perform if they weren't wearing black

Terrible. This defense is just terrible. Everything about what Caponi is doing is terrible. And Morris is just letting Caponi run it into the ground.

Read that the new HC at Colorado demoted his OC and has someone else calling plays this week.

Well, the season's over. Let's hope SMU doesn't hang 50 on us next week. We're not going to a bowl game. The transfer portal opens up December 4th. I hope we can get some decent depth and size on the defense. 

What a disappointment of a season.

I disappointed that 9 weeks into this season more hasn't been done to fix our defense. We have had the worst run defense in the country from day one, and Caponi hasn't don't enough to change that. UTSA just killed 5 minutes off the clock to kick our ass. Morris needs to answer for this. I know I've said evaluate at the end of the season, and then fire Caponi, but this is just total embarrassment. FIRE CAPONI NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't care who coaches the defense for the rest of the season. This season is lost anyway. I tired of watching this crap! And, judging by the turnout today, everyone else is tired of this crap too.

The season never started for Caponi. Our defense has allowed at least one 100 yard rusher in every game this season (and yes, that includes the Abilene Christian game)! Le that sink in.

In the first half for most everyone of them as well.

I am more concerned with over 200 yards rushing by almost every team we’ve played.  UTSA got 184 yards the first half.  I don’t know how they let us back in the game.  I wasn’t able to get ESPN+ on the plane.

All three of these past games, i don't know why their teams stopped running. That's all they had to do. Keep rushing. It's not even close if they just kept doing that. It's like their RBs get gassed and they have to pass.

I heard UTSA ran 3 straight pass plays to open the second half to go 3 and out.  It like the Offensive Coordinators just barely want to cover the spreads.

My biggest issue with our losses to Tulane, Memphis, and UTSA is the amount of mistakes we're making. Against Tulane, it was repeated dropped passes to kill drives in the first half. Against Memphis, it was the 3 holding calls on kick returns that had us start deep in our territory to start drives. Against UTSA, it's the 3 turnovers. None of this is aided by the fact that we haven't forced a turnover in 2 games but the misfires are killing us. Coaching needs to get better on all fronts.

The season was over after the 1st half of the Cal game.

Just admit it. These uniforms are straight out crappy and they have no reason to exist.

Just admit it? My dude, i didn't design them. I thought they looked fine when they tweeted them, but yeah definitely lacking on the field.

If we had a bad defense it would be an improvement to what we are putting on the field.  I think a lot has to do with coaching and the fact SL left the cupboard bare for Morris.  If Morris wants to be here for awhile he may want to replace that DC sooner rather then later.  If not for UNT  then for his family.

Two more thoughts- would someone tell the game show host on the field that it is not necessary to yell into the microphone.

The DJ volume could we taken down a couple of decibels.  That want the crowd to be loud but you couldn't hear over the DJ music.  I know it is for the children but man you cant talk to the guy next to you during the game.

Sad I now go to the games excepting to lose.  Makes it easier to be a fan.  Yeah on the uniforms if I didn't know it was us and randomly turn on the TV I would not know what teams was playing.  Maybe that is the point.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
