On paper, this should be easier than UNI and some of our future opponents.  Hopefully we keep the crowd momentum too and we can celebrate like it's 11/11/1918.

Just because you say it does not make it fact!  I tried to be nice, but you prefer to be a horses rear. So be it. Until you prove it - you are just talking to talk. And no - those 2022 stats are NOT t

I know some wanted a blowout, but I was at the game and it never felt like we would not win this game. They were in complete control of the game. It almost felt like they were just conducting a scrimm

This is a team we beat by 30 last year. They only scored 45 points. They finished 9-23.

Should be an easy win but hopefully the student turnout carries over. Unfortunately, I will have to miss this game and the UTA game, but I'll have them on the TV.

I hope we will be able to get some extended playing time for our bench guys to see what they have. I was hoping Morgan would take the next step and be able to give us some minutes against bigger front lines. He sure looks the part. Also, would like to see Moore some. He impressed me in the few minutes he got last year. Not sure what to think about our other JC transfer Terrance Johnson and the freshman Cotton.  They may be projects and need time to develop. Last night looked a lot like last year. We have a set rotation in the first half, but it is only 8 players. I don't think Stone saw the floor in the second half, so we played with 7. Allen was playing great, so Sissoko didn't play in OT. Thought we looked gassed at the end of regulation. I think playing faster on offense is going to require more than 8 in the rotation, but I trust in Hodge! Go Mean Green!

Agree.  We looked tired at the end of regulation.  Got a couple guys banged up too during the game, taking elbows, or hitting the floor after fouls.  Injuries = subs.  We may need more depth than just 7 guys.

I don't mean to just pick on you specifically, but I swear this is already the 4th or 5th time it's happened here this season...his name is Terrance Dixon. it seems like such a small ask to get our players' names right.

to the point, I think we determined that Dixon is a walk-on...he's got some solid measurables (6'8", 235lb)...would be a bonus if he contributes, but probably shouldn't be an expectation. 

Cotton and Moore are the two I'm eager to see more. not holding out much hope for Morgan, though I would be thrilled to be wrong

which is 100% normal. 

Absolutely!
 

My response was to to the poster that stated we looked tired at the end of regulation - which I agree. I was also agreeing to the statement that we need more depth than 7 guys. 

The poster (NT80) and you are both correct! However, it would be nice to have another trusted player in that situation. Hopefully one develops over the course of the season.

Omaha is terrible 

They looked quick and decent against TCU in the first half.   TCU adjustments wore them down in the second half.  Only a couple of key players we need to key on.  Take them away and we'll cruise.

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      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.
