First of all the new stadium is awesome. It was a very proud moment to walk into the stadium for the first time. A couple of complaints. Why do we spend all of that money on a jumbotron and then put a big net in front of it? It really is distracting and distorts the view. Is there no way to just raise the net before a field goal attempt?

I also don't understand why all the audio problems for the entire game?

Both sides need more ATMs.

I love the new stadium but hate the fact we put a net in front of the jumbotron.

Canon crew flubbed the firing a few times (to mark the end of the 1st quarter and the half)

But damn when it did go off... it rocked the joint!

Was in Sec. 203, 26 rows back and it sounded nothing like it did when I walked over to the student section mirroring my seat location for the final blast. I jumped out of my shoes on that one.

The scratchy audio problems seemed to involve wireless microphones.

i'm happy the speaker feedback was just about the only gameday issue i had besides "guns n roses" at kickoff and the eagle not being on the side of the helmet. :)

boomer was nice to hear a few times and i can't say enough about how great my pre-game tailgating experience ended up being. i'll do my best to get more family/friends out there for indiana.

the score didn't matter tonight... i won

One of the first shots left an impressive smoke ring.

Just like it takes time for the new O line to gel and get their timing down so does a new cannon crew have to learn to work together and learn how to load quickly and fire. They will get better. I too enjoyed hearing it as well.

I love the green helmets.

I just don't understand why they have face masks. Makes it tough for me to see the player's faces; really distorts my view.

Yeah, and those "mouthpieces". Seemed like you only used to hear about mobsters having those. Back in the day, you could see the missing teeth so much better.

      MGN: Post game recap

      Really they didn’t even try. The stats back this up. Our RBs had 12 carries for 53 yards. That’s a respectable 4.4 yards per carry. Not amazing but solid enough to take a little pressure off the passing game. By comparison, TxSt averaged 4.6 but they ended up with over 200 yards because they stuck with the run. The running game didn’t struggle. Morris gave up on it before it could struggle because he doesn’t value the run game. Or he was so intimidated by a SunBelt team that he panicked?

      We picked the wrong quarterback

      The problem wasn’t the QB but rather the game plan. Or more specifically the head coach. I still don’t understand why you build your game plan around a rookie walk-on qb. They barely even tried to run the ball. The stat sheet shows 25 rushing attempts but around 6-7 of those were passing plays when the qb scrambled due to the breakdown of the pass blocking or that abortion of a WR pass with Young. Our RBs had 12 carries. Twelve. Stupid.

      MGN: Post game recap

      Run game definitely struggled. Observation from a lowly fan was the center's snaps were not crisp. There was the bad snap that hit the turf that Mestemaker recovered but there were several others that weren't on target that visibly caused timing to be off. Couple that with the DL regularly being in our backfield right after the snap and it's hard to run. I may be mixing games but I think even remember a TX State player practically meeting our RB at a hand-off. Mestemaker pulled it back and got taken down by a few defenders but there was just no room to get things going on the ground.

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      If we struggle to another six win season then Morris has to go. Not a “hot seat” let’s see how year four goes.

      EM is the qb whisperer

      Untjim: Texas/Oklahoma doesn't produce great linemen anymore so we can't have great defenses. Me: how does UTSA and Texas State do it? Rick: defense Untjim: he doesn't want to hear it Hear what? Y'all are simultaneously saying the state doesn't produce great linemen which is necessary for a good defense but then say other G5 teams in our same state with our same pool of players are succeeding because of defense. Again, if they can do it why can't we? What's their excuse?
