Tune did a good job. He is our quarterback, we have to support him. Thompson will be awesome in the future for us. It's good to know that we will be in good shape in the future but we do have to stand behind Nathan.

I thought Tune did well. But, he made two really bad mistakes in areas that counted alot (redzone). It was frustrating because it reminded me of our interceptions/fumbles in the red zone last year.

Nathan played his ass off for us today. He stayed poised in the pocket and made some great decisions to run or throw that converted a lot of first downs that we haven't seen against this caliber of a team in many years. He threw for over 240 yards against the preseason 2nd ranked secondary. Most of the Clemson fans we spoke to today were very impressed with this offense and were telling Emmitt and I they were very nervous large in the second quarter. Needless to say there hasn't been one ounce of hinting by those who attended the game about a quarterback controversy.

460 plus yards against an ACC power in front of 70-80 thousand and we have people wanting to bitch about our QB? Our offense is the very last of our concerns.

Well put, Rick. Also, consider our football budget against theirs and you will soon appreciate all the effort of the squad. By the way, our boy Dickey got burned 72-0 today Oregon.

That probably shouldn't make happy but it does.

Listen, the mistakes Tune made today are ones that can be corrected through film sessions, coaching, and reps. They were not mistakes made because he isn't talented enough. His first pick was thrown short because he got flushed and had to throw back across his body. If he sets and gets more on the ball he leads the receiver right into the end zone. Alternatively he can just throw the ball away and go to 2nd down. The 2nd pick just didn't have enough arc and was a great play by the db. Tune needs to understand when to step up in the pocket especially when the outside rush was so strong. If Tune can learn to step up he can by more time for the receivers to get into space. Again these are all coachable issues. That said, Tune didn't panic when flushed and found some holes to get to the sticks. Although I like the guts, I hope Dodge talks to him about lowering his shoulder to pop that lineman along the sidelines to finish that run. That was a mans play but one that could get him hurt. I liked what I saw from Nate and I think wencould be in for a special year offensively speaking.

It is obvious that we have 2 quality guys who can play QB. We should enjoy what we have.

I thought Nathan showed outstanding poise, under some heavy pressure. His performance far exceeded my expectations.

      Ladies at ACU

      I went to the game, again we started slow and accelerated in the second quarter outscoring ACU 27-12. We let them back in it and the lead got down to three points twice. But we went on a game-sealing 11-0 run to take a 66-52 lead as Lampkin took over. One of ACU's starting bigs went out late with an apparent back injury. She's from Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where I've gotten my only speeding ticket, so maybe she deserved it. As for the arena, it shares the same name as SMU's (Moody Coliseum) and looks like a carbon copy of TCU's (albeit half the size). Recently renovated and very nice. The ACU men hosted TXST shortly after. Which we could get some better men's/women's doubleheaders and on the weekend to help boost the ladies' attendance.

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      Will Caponi and the dunk tank make one last appearance at DATCU this weekend?

      Any word on if Caponi had to drive back to DFW?

      Caponi fired

      Thank you. Might seem crazy now with only two games left in the regular season, but no way you get rid of him at 5-1 or 5-2, and it shows a pissed off fanbase that maybe Morris does care to build a serious contender. However, if Morris's tenure ends in failure, one of the questions I will continue to ponder is "Why did we feel like we had to give an unproven position coach the largest G5 coordinator salary in the first place?"

      Agreed. Our former highest paid football assistant was clearly a terrible coach and recruiter as well. Mosley will be making the next hire. He has to as Morris is putting his AD job in jeopardy now.
