That looks SWEET!!!!!!

You know, with the new turf, Fouts doesn't look half bad. All we need to do is get a bunch of signs and stuff to hang up at the games, and we're set.

Now, I didn't say that. I'm just saying it looks a whole lot better than it did. Although I would like to see, and think we need, a new stadium within the next 5 years, it's not going to be quite so embarrassing to play at Fouts now.

For you poetic types...

A Fouts by any other name would smell as sweet.

or

Fouts O Fouts, wherefore art thou O Fouts?

or

If a Fouts falls in the woods and nobody.....nevermind.

You could say it was like putting lipstick on a pig, but I really do believe it improves the overall look of the stadium.

30,000 people a game would make it look even better!

I think that's what most of us want right now... it would be beautiful.

What do you think we will avg. this year?

I think we average about 18K this year. Tulsa will bring them in and if we win just ONE of the OOC games (if we are going to win one then it should be Tulsa) then people will show up to the next one even though it is on a Tuesday night... it is on ESPN which she be enough motivation to get a good marketing push out of our Athletic Department. They are on a budget, but they will find the money somehow to push this game. Then we have Homecoming, that is a guaranteed 18K... then the Thansgiving game (could be a dissapointment), then the finale - might have a drop off for that as well. But I think that we average 18K in the end.

THE FIELD IS DONE!!!! I was out there today and talked to one of the guys laying down the rubber pellets. He told me that they were all layed down and all it needs is feet on it to grind the pellets in. It looks really good in person. Especially since they took that pitchers mound out of the middle of the field.

What will avg attendance be this year?

What will our OOC record be?

Will we win the conference again?

Can we hang with LSU?

Can we win a conf game if it's the 2nd game of the season?

Answer to all is the same: Depends on what we get out of our QB(s). huh.gif

      SMUt getting owned by State

      All the first round games were basically blowouts. Who cares what people thought going in EXCEPT Vegas. Texas -11 vs Clemson PSU -8.5 vs SMU Ohio State -7.5 vs Tennessee Notre Dame -6.5 vs Indiana I think Indiana being a long bus ride away from Notre Dame was the only reason the game was more competitive than the others. And I turned off that game early partly because in the trenches, it didn’t look competitive early on. Hell I think Army might have been more competitive than SMU. But they subjectively chose (before the Army vs Navy game) Conference Championship game loser over Conference Championship game winner and everyone debating Alabama. 🙄. Utter BS.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      If everything will go the way you think it will go then why do we play the games or even schedule games with spreads over 14 points? The underdogs in College Football are in a perpetual no win situation. Get the upset there in the regular season are a ton of excuses and devaluation of what your program accomplished. Close loss then the naysayers devalue that also (SMU vs Clemson and the push to shoe in Alabama a team that lost to the Tennessee team that got blown out by Ohio State). I want teams to prove it on the field. And since the big brand teams have always been invested in scheduling the easiest path to the post season. NOT EVEN APPEARING in your conference championship game should be majorly punitive. So I don’t give a crap what people think Alabama (or anyone else would do). They lost to Vandy and a bad OU team. And they could have scheduled a decent FBS team instead of home scrimmages against Western Kentucky and Mercer. Or they could kept a SEC conference membership where they play more than half of the teams in the conference in a season. The worst aspect of boxing that killed it popularity was the ranking organizations a chicken hearted scheduling. I hate subjectivity in sports that have easy scoring rules. And putting in a team that didn’t appear in their conference championship game in a better playoff position than a conference champion or championship game loser is 100% based on subjectivity if the teams did not play head to head and have the same win/loss record. Maybe I will be in the minority of College Football fans over 35. But I will have no interest in the opening round of CFP if they start routinely subjectively punishing Conference Champions over teams that failed to appear in their conference title game. Go look at the SEC standings; even arguing Alabama over Ole Miss getting that spot is subjective garbage. Both are 9-3 overall and 5-3 in SEC play. But almost universally people are lamenting Alabama not being included. The stupidity and greed of the SEC had border state rivals in the same conference not play each other this year. 🙄. To me that is the outrage. Maybe if they had played each other we one of them would be in the playoff and SMU fans couldn’t have had a reasonable protest if that happened.

      I already wonder how long he's going to stay anyway. Is he expected to challenge P-barger for the starting position? If not, do we expect him to take the job in year 2 or would it be more likely that EM brings in another experienced QB. Whatever we do, I don't want ANY consideration regarding lost eligibility to factor into whether he plays or not. Edit: I posted before seeing this which is definitely good news.

      Only 2 of our 22 starters from our last game against Temple are in the portal. The high school guys who Morris have signed have pretty much all stayed, except for the guys who weren’t getting any playing time. Out of the 2023 and 2024 high school signees signed by Morris, Tyler Mercer is the only one to start and hit the portal. The other 2023 and 2024 HS Signees who have played extensively, Braydon Nelson, Brian Nelson, Evan Jackson, Landon Sides, Miles Coleman, Wyatt Young, Jaedon Langley, Taylor Starling, Quinton Hammonds have all played extensively or started as underclassmen the last two seasons and all seem pretty committed to the program. It seems your chances of keeping a starter is far higher if that guy is someone your HC signed out of high school. It’s a stronger relationship.
