In the post-game interview with Georgie, DD takes full responsibility for having NOT prepared the football team for this week's game. As he's describing what happened in the first half he said, "They (Akron) sort of just had their way with us." and actually laughed it off with a few chuckles.

Is it just me or is that attitude something to get upset about?

You're putting things in there that I really didn;t see from that interview.  DD seemed pretty pissed to me.  He implied that they should have compwted better, and could have won

Well, that's why I asked...so maybe it was just me. I interpreted that laugh as a lackadaisical attitude. He obviously said some things at half time that got the team fired up, so I'll give him the benefit of a doubt.

I assume you are responding to gangrene? I thought DD had victory in his eyes for the 2nd half, and expressed on honest assessment of our first half play. DD & Co. went for the win in the 2nd half. I don't care what anyone says.

Lately, I have been a Dickey critic but I didn't take his laugh as anything but a nervous laugh and not that he was making light of anything.

He took FULL responsibility for not having them ready to play. As best as I can recall, that was a first. He has blamed coaches (including himself) and players for mistakes previously but this time he blamed no one other than himself.

He should blame himself. This loss is absurd, embarrasing, and unacceptable.

The team's interest level is going to mimic the head coach's interest level, which seems to be about zero in OOC games until after the game is over.

Tulsa and Akron were benchmark games for this program - guess there's always next year, and the next, and the next...

I think everytime "keep 8 men in the box" talks it is funny. I have to laugh, otherwise it pisses me off. Whats amazing is some on here still think we can run the table in the belt and think we will be fine. Yea, we could run the table, but if we did, we would come back to reality in the bowl when we have to go OOC again.

Yeah? So you're saying we run the table, win the SBC, and lose in a bowl game - and you would consider that failure? I mean, you've said (on about 10 threads) how much "the team sucks", so I'm wondering what would make you get some pleasure out of this?

I was under the impression that most of the second string came in to start the second half for Akron, and they did not need to run up the score on us anyway. Don't take mercy points for the coaches coming up with a better game plan.

      Huss Leaving High Point To Be Creighton's "Coach In Waiting"

      Barring major changes either imposed from the outside or as part of an internal reformation process, there are limited options for programs like ours to survive and potentially thrive in this environment. I proposed one such option several months ago in a different forum and the more I think about it, it may be the only viable strategy. Embrace the transfer portal. Accept the fact that our best players (or maybe all of them in some cases) will look to transfer after a year of solid production and actually leverage that in our recruitment. Focus on recruiting athletes with 2 (3 tops) years of eligibility remaining and that while talented have not been able to catch the eye of the programs willing to put them on their multi-million dollar payrolls. The window is closing on their college athletic career and their ability to get a final payday or springboard their pro aspirations. Come play for UNT, but plan on being here only a season or two. We will get you something while here, provide you a platform to showcase your talents and more importantly work to get you that final stop opportunity. Maybe we even act as a quasi-agent with some sort of renumeration if they get picked up. Does it suck to be a stepping stone and revolving door of athletes? Maybe, I guess. But if we win, do you really care? With some success, the better athletes will want to come here and success builds on itself. Did anyone really care that we had 70+ new players on the football team when we were 5-1 after six games last year? Are you still looking forward to the football season even though we lost 32 players to the portal and have 26 new transfers coming in? It's going to happen anyway (players will leave for $ or what they or their agents perceive to be a better opportunity). It's musical chairs for every program, so somehow make it work in our favor. As many have said, root for the team/colors, not the players.

      Four Non-Power Conference Teams Got At-Large Bids

      I know the coach has a lot more influence in scheduling than in football, but my assumption is that they're also working within a framework/template laid out by the AD based on resources. looking through Robinson's 3 years in charge, nothing really jumps out as a marquee home game...but also given that CSU was struggling to average 1500 a game (in a building bigger than the Pit), there were probably bigger financial constraints at play. most road OOC games he stayed relatively regionally...some Big 10, Big 12 and MVC opponents...a couple odd quick trips west for WCC foes.
