Because I have an ego that says we don't belong in a lowly conference like the Sun Belt, and that we should be hammering these teams every time we play them. No, reality doesn't get in the way of my beliefs.

I understand your frustrations, especially when I told my dad who we were playing this weekend and his response was "Who?" Of course, I knew that response was coming and could still not come up with a good answer for him to understand why I wanted him to go with me on Saturday night.

But, in reality, I think the SBC is a good spot for us right now and in the near future. Unless a new SWC gets formed anytime soon and we are actually included, then the SBC is about where we belong. As a matter of fact, one could argue that the other SBC programs probably look at us right now as the dead-weight that they are carrying around right now as conference mates.

I hope I'm wrong, and I REALLY do see improvement, but we just can't seem to get over the hump. Until we do with some sort of regularity, I have to say we continue to lose close games in heartbreaker fashion -

FAU - 24

UNT - 21

If our recent record of dumb mental errors and turnovers improves, we win. ...but until I see that happen, I just can't predict it.

...but I'll be there, green on, cheering for my team none the less. I sure love watching this team, despite the challenges this year - it is a very different team from last year.

Not sure about the score, and hope I'm not too sauced on the Kool-Aid, but....

I think this might be a suprising break-out game. I think the team has finally had it with coming so close over and over again. MG will jump out to an early lead and be relentless, never look back for 60 minutes.

I agree. This team isn't exactly blessed with an abundance of weapons, but there's enough there that if they come out with a "put a boot on their throat and keep it there until the final gun sounds" mentality, an arse whooping of this magnatude could very well happen.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
