Man, that effort by Mestemaker was amazing…considering everything he had to face, that was a lot to be proud of…

No. All losses with finesse teams and finesse coaches.

As I said ALMOST the same either way.  We LOST. 
The only 2 bowl wins had passing yards of 256 and (Derek Thompson) and 126 (Andrew Smith).

Of course, in the latter one, Cincinnati had 5 turnovers.  That might have contributed a bit to our 5pt win.

You sir are the problem.  Your acceptance of mediocrity is exactly why this football program is losing to lower level programs like Southwest Texas State.

You have to love the idiots who make comments like Southwest Texas State and then most likely get pissed off when people call us North Texas State.

I’ve seen this type of game over and over throughout the years. Glad you had fun losing 😅

It was a better showing than I expected.  But I wouldn’t say fun. 🙄.  That is why I didn’t take off work early to go to this game.  I fully expected that we would be pummeled with a QB that didn’t even start varsity as a senior in high school.  Everybody on this thread should know that Morris is a lock to coach our team most of the 2025 season.  I wouldn’t have hired him in the first place and Caponi shouldn’t have made it to October this season (if brought back at all).   But I am not going accept an invitation for meatloaf dinner and then complain it ain’t steak.  Dam straight I want a steak but that was taken off the menu over 2 months ago. 😂

Set to be our starting QB next year.

That was a great game. Off work early, 15 minute Lyft, nice crowd, better than expected showing considering our portal losses. Disappointed we didn't win, not gonna cry about it though. All the State fans were pretty nice.

[UNTLifer]

I keep seeing someone post that we lost half our team. Outside of Morris and Sheffield, who do we lose that were major contributors?  Mercer?  He was replaced with a three year starter. I did miss Hammond. 

I hope Mestemaker is give a shot to start next year. I like him and hope he is put in scholarship asap. 

Enjoyed the Texas State fans. We need to play them every year. The coordination between their band, fans and cheer squads is something we should strive for. It is sad that we can’t do the basics like that.

The QB from North Crowley intrigues me.  Was he recruited at a different position?

Recruited as a QB. That is how we got him to switch from TCU.

No sir just stop that.  We lose because we have had crappy Athletic Departments and University leadership that does realize how winning consistently would change the profile of the university.  We aren’t hiring coaches they are.  I sure as hell wouldn’t have hired Morris, Dodge, or Seth.  I might have hired Mac but I sure at hell wouldn’t have let him bring in that old school offense with him.  People like me vote with their presence at games.  That is all we can do.  Bitching on here is a release and I do it often.  But the people making the decisions are not listening to me.  They extended Seth a second time after I let go my season tickets.  So yeah my fault. 🤦🏽‍♂️😂

No although I think with his speed and skill set he can get some unique field time. I think Drew has a better arm. I am a fan of allowing two guys to split some time. Jimmerson could easily get time though. His speed excites me. Trick plays in coming?

I like the idea of two guys splitting time, but I've never seen it work, so....nah.

Pick the guy that gives you the best chance to win.

I agree yes but hoping it’s Drew but we see Jimmerson in a couple unique sets. Just a couple games and maybe see if we can redshirt him. At least I use to be a huge fan of the redshirt. Now I with the portal bot as much 😕

Is this what taking our football program to the next level feels like?

We have enough trouble running our normal plays.

[GMG_Dallas]

Didn't realize it but Coleman and Mestemaker both came from Austin Vandegrift. I know we're obsessing over Jimerson and there's also Poffenbarger coming in but maybe developing and starting Mestemaker gets both him and Coleman to stay for 3-4 years and be the pillars a program needs to become special.

I don't agree that he has a "better" arm than Jimerson. Have you seen him play? 

• 4-year starter (6A ball)
• 9,239 Career Passing Yards
• 130 Passing TD’s
• 2,281 Rushing Yards
• 22 Rushing TD’s State Champion

Like everyone, I was pleasantly surprised with Mestemaker. Looks like we will be covered at the QB position next year. May the competition begin. Jimerson, however, will not take the field as a "Trick Play" QB.

You think he will sit as a backup? I would think he would want some touches. Especially since he turned down opportunities else where to be a receiver at larger schools.
