Dodge, Littrell, Morris…all spread offenses that rarely lead to anything of matter here.

Go back to DickeyBall and McCarney’s Bus drivers…at least the games end faster when you lose.

We just need to stomach it. One more half of losing football. Somehow we beat ECU in front of an empty stadium and win in the freezing cold after Thanksgiving. 

Just one more half of this mess to stomach. Hang in there MG!

You are a great fan and I love your optimism, but if this is what it’s come to (and it seems like it has), this program and another generation of Mean Green fans is lost.   We took a gamble and it didn’t work out.

Yes it sucks. I can’t stand UTSA and it disgusts me that they flew right by us. I believe we will be attached to them and them to us for the foreseeable future. Oh well we’ll beat them in basketball. But they will always be perceived as the better program even when we eventually beat them a few years in a row. 

I do believe the losing in ‘24 is over for this team. Optimistic, sure. I don’t see ECU Temple and the bowl game as daunting as the last 4 games. San Antonio shouldn’t have been what it turned out to be, but was I surprised? No. They own us. They are the better program with a better history and more upside. 

But I still believe we beat a solid ECU team on Saturday and win in Philly. I think we win the Frisco Bowl too or wherever they get our 200 or 8,000 fans. The difference between a local bowl or not. 

Optimistic always. Realist yea. Beat ECU. GMG!

The offense managed to score enough points to secure the win, but our defense still struggles to make a dent. We switched back to the 3-3-5 defense strategy and gradually allowed the opposing team to advance the ball down the field.
 

Some of our defensive backs’ angles were particularly poor, especially Smith #36. He made several critical mistakes, including running full speed at the QB allowing the quarterback to escape in the backfield twice. If he had simply broken down, squared him up, and made the tackles, he could have prevented big important 3rd down plays. It’s as if we have forgotten the fundamental principles of football. 

Ward has dropped too many balls as of late too.  Started with the Tech game and it hasn’t stopped. Failed to compete for that pass that was intercepted as well. Super frustrating.

The defense was disastrous last night but stop with this "offense did enough to win" crap. A 3 and out and interception in the first 2 drives is not doing enough to win. Were it not for a defensive stop after the onside kick and a Porter 79 yard run, we'd have been down 21-0 and counting. Yes, the defense needs to do more but what high powered offense puts up 7 in a half? This team did the same crap last year. No offense in the first half and then when we put up garbage time points people say "look at the offense." The offense is bordering bad. Tulsa put up 46 on UTSA. Texas State put up 49 and even Rice put up 29. Just to show you where our "high powered offense" stands.
