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.

      "Where Are The Fans?"

      Yes I think UT just changed to requiring top 5% for admission which puts it way out of reach for most. But I don't think UT is the issue, it's schools like Arkansas and OU that rob us of a lot of students that are looking for more spirit and pride in their college experience. I think we suffer from an attraction to students that want a cheap education and the convenience of being close to home. Arkansas students from DFW area don't have the luxury of driving home every weekend when you have a 9-10 hour commute.

      He got a big payday and did what any one of us would have in the same situation. It makes no sense to hate the player for doing what's best for their future. He's well aware that the NFL is a long shot, taking a sure thing now (money) is the right move whether or not he sees the field.

      "Where Are The Fans?"

      The underlying issue has less to do with sports and more to do with the university as a whole. We have the stigma of being a second choice school, or a school that is for working class kids who can't afford to move hundreds of miles away. There is some truth to this, but how do you get people to be proud of this accomplishment instead of hiding from it? Its kind of a self fulfilling prophecy. If the alumni base largely sees themselves as inferior to some other brands, why would an outsider think any different? Texas is so large that getting into the flagship schools isn't even possible for most college students. If you look at small states like Kansas, OK, AL, OR, etc, it is very easy to into their flagship schools because there just isn't as much competition. But they don't have any issue showing pride in their school. Being in this state puts a school like ours in a unique disadvantage, partially because the PUF has held back most of the public universities, but also because the perception that comes with not being the flagship school. How do you overcome this? I don't know.
