We won by 14 points on the road as an underdog and some of you guys are bitching.

The sheer number of throws that hit the receivers in stride was....just awesome.   GMG

We are going to either be elated with a victory or in the pit of despair with a loss.  Hopefully, we're all elated.

We aren't exactly known for being the most grounded of fan bases.

It's all doom and gloom until it ain't. Then it is again. 'Tis tradtition

I think we all want to see our team get off to a fast start on offense and defense. If the defense swarms to the ball early, I think that will be a good sign. 

I'm also hoping Morris gives our big-leg kicker a shot at one of those 70+ yard field goals he's posted on X. Not that I want us to need such an attempt. I just want to see him try it in a game.

we're in Mean Green land, where elated with loss and despairing over victories is also possible and, in fact, highly likely.

You might even think we’re getting taken behind the woodshed and find out we’re actually winning.🤣🤣

After watching Colorado last night, I’m not as hopeful that we’ll see a night and day defensive improvement.  They were running right with us last year for the coveted spot of worst defense in America.  Then they overhauled the dline with transfers this offseason.  Talent looked improved but cohesive they were not.  Thinking we likely see something similar.  There will be growing pains, but still hoping to see some positive signs of progress tomorrow.

I'm not sure where our staff stands on chemistry and cohesiveness. I would assume they think it's important. Colorado's coach does not believe in team chemistry and thinks just put a bunch of talented players on the field and you'll win, chemistry be damned. He's been very clear on his thoughts on chemistry and appears to think it's BS.

But back to THIS game.

I'm really excited to watch this game...I think it's a 50/50 game and will come down to the little things.

Does Eric Morris have this thing headed in the right direction in his 2nd year? I will feel really good if we win Saturday, its a game that could go either way and maybe SA is a slight favorite...which means maybe we have to play just a little better than them to win it. We have not done that a lot in a game like this the past several years...

I hope to see us turn the corner in a game like this.

I honestly wish we hadn’t scheduled this game.  We play a team that dominated a bowl game on the road to start the season?  Dumb scheduling by Jarad.

Do you know when this game was secured? I cannot find it.

We beat them in Denton.  You're scared for us to play them, really?

This isn't that other Bama team...

Who would you rather us open with?  I like the idea of a good test but not insurmountable.

I am letting go of all negativity. There's 70 new players what the hell do I know? There's lot of things that go in to making a good FBS coach, only recently has how well does your team gel in one off season to the next vaulted to near the top, maybe Morris is one of the best at that. 

GMG! Expecting a win today.

Exactly. You have a coach who preaches the game is all about the me and that the team comes somewhere after that.

No we shouldn't be scared of South Alabama. But the time we beat them was back in 2012.....so it's been a while.

      Oregon State (11/25/24)

      The offense is definitely still a work in progress. Our guards get stuck passing it around the 3-point arc to themselves and then launch a desperation 3. We set picks only to end up 5 feet away with the same guard dribbling covered by the same defender. What's the point? We drive the paint but become out of control and throw it up hoping to draw a foul. Sissoko backs down his guy in the paint several times and then misses a 3-foot shot. It gets old. Points off breakaways were our only offense last night. Better opponents won't allow that to happen. I get trying to drive the paint to draw fouls to go to the free throw line. McNeese did it to us and won the game on free throws because we are too handsy on defense sometimes. We built a 10-4 foul advantage on Oregon State in the 2nd half...then gave up 5 fouls in under 2 minutes as they drove the paint on us too.

      Earth to GMG

      Exactly, unless we are going to pay unrivaled G5 coaches salaries for proven coaches this is the way to go. Most people aren't in depth knowledgeable college football fans. And I sincerely believe that none of the coaches besides the top 20% really provide more value to the program than they are paid in salary. The Mean Green Football brand doesn't recruit well by itself. So either we need to get into a P4 conference or do something substantial over a 3 year period to change that. The extensions for Littrell was just stupid and we kept him an extra year to hire a clone just with some FCS head coaching experience. This program just does dumb stuff which makes all the losing insufferable. I know if were this bad at my job with clearly bad decisions creating these kinds of results year by year not only would I like lose my job. The company I am high up in the chain of command of would probably have massive layoffs. I do think if we could get a coach that has done something significant at P4 program South of Mason Dixon line in the past decade-15 year it might would worth paying 10%-20% more than what we normally pay. The opposite direction would be lowering ticket prices and playing just one "money game" a year and just hiring a "good coach" with "decent resume" like a Morris or Littrell.
