I didn't know until game time. Of course, I'm a fan - so why would I know?

I know practices are closed, but did anyone have wind of this? Do we have any way to know who was practicing at #1 last week?

If this was a game time decision, it was a very bad one. If it turns out they knew Thompson was gimpy all along and built the game plan around him anyway, I'd call that pretty stupid. It doesn't matter who you start - McNulty or Osborn - if neither of them were practicing at #1 this week. Either would have been at a disadvantage.

Overall, I'm disappointed. Tulsa was really minus some big guns and it looks like we went out there with an experiment. Not pleased.

SIDENOTE: I guess you won if you called Vegas and bet against the line at 23 - Tulsa only beat us by 17!

OTHER SIDENOTE: Saw Mr. and Mrs. Kokjohn returning from the game just south of Ardmore this morning. Mrs. Kokjohn is a lead foot! Couldn't stay up with her.

yet DT was in UNI and warmed up before the game...i watched him....no limp, nothing...looked 100%. I honestly think we just saved him for conference play.

If this was the case, I understand the thinking, but are we really in a position to sit our starters out to save them for conference play? Surely Coach Mac knew that the game last night was winnable. Now, if we had been playing Alabama a week before conference started, I say take a team full of the entire practice squad and student volunteers to strap on pads and literally take one for the team.

      Chandler UVA???

      Were we really more negative about Rogers leaving? Sorry, I don't see what @Cooley sees, but maybe I have forgotten some after a year. Regarding some collective donor being pissed Poffenberger isn't starting next year, that's your gamble when you donate to a collective. I pray that they aren't being promised a starting job as it should always go to the most talented, deserving young man.

      Recognition: Thanks MG Teams

      I dont respond much, but I read your posts. Easy for people to point out problems, a loss, holes in defense or missed buckets, etc. Yet, the teams have really stepped up lately. We may have lost a few but i see the hustle and grit. And that impresses me. Ladies BBall broke down in 4th Q, but found a way to win against Memphis. Playing well in the AAC thus far. 11-4 and 3-0 in conf. looks nice. Mens BBall lost to Memphis, but played with heart. Sissoko, Newell and Walker in particular. Great effort. I also think Floyd managed the game, solid performance at the point. Football - I didnt know what to expect in the bowl game. Great effort. I am in Austin and wearing the logo on consistent basis. received a lot of input from others after that game. Stinks to come close and lose, same as with the last Boise game in Frisco. But proud of the team. So THANKS MEAN GREEN !!! Looking forward to Soccer, Softball and Diving/Swimming, Golf, etc.

      Attendance question

      Here's my take on the First Responders Bowl. * I thought they did a fantastic job honoring first responders from all lines of work throughout the game. Very impressive presentation for people that deserve to be recognized. * Location isn't terrible and Ford Stadium is fine, but I had to shower four times to remove the SMU stench. * Concessions were pretty good although it would have been nice to know if advance that they were not accepting cash. * Would have been nice to have First Responder Bowl souvenir cups instead of the stupid "Pony Up" cups. Nobody's taking those home. * Nice taking the train, walking over and then getting out quickly. This was managed well by whoever is in charge of getting people from the station safely across Central Expressway. * In spite of all of the above, $100 plus for sideline seats to this bowl/matchup was ridiculous.

      Attendance question

      The anecdotal evidence I heard from people was that it was "too expensive" and "not an impressive matchup" or "we are just going to lose"

      Chandler Rogers on the move again

      I generally share this sentiment but it was actually new news this time. And you haven't moved on from UNT rejecting your admissions application 35 years ago, yet they still let you post.
