I love how the game is over and we are trying to discredit a team that whipped us 24-0.

Classy.

Your face is classy.

And we're doing it to a guy who has been a class act and fantastic visitor, too.

That'll teach polite, friendly, reasonable fans of opposing schools!

Army isn't very good. They are better than UNT, but a win v Eastern Michigan doesn't exactly impress. Especially when they squeak it out. Also, Hawaii, they of the not-that-good-team, beat you at home. So it hurts more that we couldn't beat that team.

That's reasonable logic, and much better than the word "sucks."

However, I caution anyone against making too many assumptions based on the opening game of a season, particularly when one of the teams has a new offensive system (i.e. no game film available).

As for Hawaii, at least through 3 qtrs today they're giving Colorado a game - and their QB has more than 300 yards passing through 3 qtrs. If he keeps up that pace, he'll get a lot more against them than he did against us.

OK...I am supposed to understand why you expected us to win when we were on our third string quarterback, third string center and had 10? starters out with injuries? How is that Todd Dodge's fault?? Under the circumstances, I doubt that any coach could have pulled that one out, unless they had a lot more depth than we have.

What you say is true, but it is only part of the story. This is a team that makes stupid mistakes and we continue to see the coaches do things that leave announcers wondering about what they may be thinking. A team can be undone by injuries, but this team was coming undone long before the injuries added up to where they are now. That is more upsetting than the win-loss record per se.

I've been watching football for more than I care to say and in the old days, coaches would resign if things became unraveled to the extent that they are now. It was called pride and the understanding that if the job isn't being done, then there is a graceful way to exit and let everyone move on. Maybe it is just time to admit that everyone needs a change....the fans, the coach, the school, etc. I bear no ill-will to Todd Dodge and wish it had been different, but this just isn't working.

Pretty Obvious that looked nothing like the Offense that was ran vs. Clemson and Rice. Riley doesnt know the Offense as a QB under Canales. Offense looked the same as last year once Tune went down vs. Rice.

Just look at the difference in play calling vs. Clemson and today.

We had 200+ Yards Rushing vs. Clemson.

Interesting "fact".

Good luck the rest of the way.

Sorry for saying your team sucks but not as bad as our team sucks. You have been a polite, friendly, reasonable fan of an opposing school and we should all love you.

Sorry again,

There was no one to put in but Riley. He had to play the offense he knew best.

We do it to our own players/coaches...why wouldn't we do it to others?
