I shut off the feed after the last interception...I watched the NBC 5 video about the stadium to help cheer me up!

While I'm grateful for the close games this year compared to the last two, its just sooooooo hard to take this. Hopefully these close losses are character builders for the team and not back breaker.

I don't think it has anything do to with a curse

Most would say he's the curse...however, I may be one of the last ones left that wants to see how he does next season before giving him the axe. I dunno, maybe I'm just a gluton for punishment.

I am too. Our defense was invcredible today, some turnovers would have been nice but other than that they were awesome. Deloach was on the field and not in the press box, they were hitting, they were agressive and they stopped army all reaking day.

Turnovers killed us for the unpteenth time this year..... It makes me sick. Riley needs to learn really quickly... He had a good game outside of the turnovers, but that doesn't really help anything now does it...... Quit trowing into double coverage!!!! quit throwing to recievers that are already running out of bounds, who also happen to be in double coverage!!!!

So frustrating@!;laksdf;lk ngahl;asdhlk;

I've tried to tell myself that the team has improved and Riley will only get better but now even i cannot keep kidding myself. Riley is a turnover machine. Who cares how many yards you can accumulate when you can't score. Who cares when you can complete the 2 yard pass when you can't throw the ball more than 15? yards. Those INTs were brutal, and even worse careless.

In close games we are always lacking timeouts. I don't see TD making a difference in any facet of the game.

In all honesty, i don't know how army beat vanderbilt. that team we played today has less talent than WKU.

I'm at a loss for words. But i don't see this thing turning around. We should've blown out army and fiu. Instead we give the games away. Just like we gave away games earlier in the season. Has this thing gotten better as the season wore on......? I have to say no and that's just not acceptable.

I'm with you. I want to see how we do with Big 12 talent going up for those jump balls we had today.

You can't win with 5 TO. Not even if we played a Pee Wee team.

Yes you can. If we pick up a 3rd and 1 inside the 20, we win. If we make kicks, we win. If we use our time outs wisely, we have a chance to win. If we choose to catch a punt, we at least have a prayer to win.

Saying you can't win with TOs is saying we shouldn't have won today. No one who watched that thing thinks the better team won. Even Army probably doesn't think that. One yard, we win. A treasure trove of laughable coaching decisions cost us a lot more than one yard.

And if you don't have 5 TO those other things do not matter!

It should have been 34 to 17

Great! If we had Joe Montana and Jerry Rice, they wouldn't matter either!

Point is, you CAN win with 5 TOs. Today should have proven that in a big way.

This is one of those games that you would think that Todd Dodge loses all of his players.

dodge didn't lose this game! it was flippin riley! 4 turnovers!!!!

i hope dodge is back next year and leads us into the new stadium! if riley can't learn, move him to wide receiver or something. damn...

You really want to see what Dodge can do next year because the last three lead you to believe that next season will be different? The odds of it getting to .500 are so incedibly small.

I feel confident that he will win at least 5 games next year if he is the coach. With all the experience he will have coming back, I would think that is a minimum. The thing is, is that enough? When he was first hired, nobody had the bar so low as to look toward .500 his fourth year. I am sure that there are several currently unemployed coaches who could have done a lot better this year with the talent we have. We ought to have been a 7-win team this season, and competing for the Belt. As far as talent, only Troy is significantly better than us.

So can we hope TD will actually get a real kicker for next year?

Yes, but we may have a real kicker now and wouldn't know it. How about some new blockers as well?

      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.
