Revamp the offense and defense??? Hahahaha I guess that means we or going to have an organized plan for either? Both?

Only took you half a season to figure this out, coach.

Cue the apologist who will proclaim "he didn't have his players, they were hurt" at the end of the season, coincidently ignoring what happened before tge injuries.

And someone needs to ask, is the mass confusion (or whatever occurs) in practice the reason for all of these injuries?

Our guys better be in great shape. We won't have a bench to sub them out.

This turning into Hickory - without the success.

Hurt? or faking because tired of playing for benford?

Can't fake a torn miniscus. Trust me, I know. It also isn't the worst injury in the world, depending on location and size of the tear.

Probably a rest and heal situation. If he had surgery, it would be a scope, and at his age, he could be back in time for the Belt tournament.

For sure! He and Chris Jones will be back in time for the tournament!

Benford may hold walk-on tryouts in Mid-January at the rate this thing is going

And then promptly suspend those who made the team for not being on time to tryouts.

Tough break for young Mr. Overlander....and the team. The hits just seem to keep coming this year. The idea that Clarke would even think of "faking this" is inane at best, and posting such shows a lack of not only compassion for this young man and his situation, but a lack of any knowledge of the character of this young man.

And, yes, if he possibly can, this kid will be back for the tourney. He will do all he can to make it so, and if he can't make it back in time it will not be for any lack of effort or want to on Clarke's part.

It is, indeed, possible for a young, in shape, athlete to return from a torn meniscus in such a time frame. I'd post why I know that, but someone would make a snide comment if I did. PM me if you want to know.

Sorry to hear this, Clarke...get well soon..the Mean Green needs you!

We also need Obi Wan Kenobi at this point.

Now, that's funny...might be true also...but it is funny!

Well, he could turn off the tractor beam of the Death Star, surely he can coach this team.

He's definitely good for sage advice. Not sure that can help us beat a 2-3 zone however.

I do think his quote about "Who is the more foolish, the fool or the fool that follows him" is apropos is regard to those that defend Benford though. ;)

There is no try. Only do or be substituted.

And, yes, a miniscus tear can be recovered from. I tore mine about 5 years ago. After seeing a sports medicine and having a scan done his prognosis was "we could work on it or you could let it heal on its own."

      Unfortunately I feel like many folks might rather watch the Notre Dame/Indiana playoff game on Friday.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      We've shown over the last handful of seasons that we have one of the most suffocating defenses in the country. I still think the defining game of this era was the NIT semi against Wisconsin when we held them scoreless the last nine minutes of regulation.

      Breaking: North Texas lands Miami QB Transfer (Free)

      Ok so what's your suggestion? Don't get a QB? I'm confused as to what the end goal of your argument is. Regardless of who we get, we're going to suck? Looks like you're complaining just to complain.

      Not thrilled about playing State

      I'm looking forward to the game. In-state bragging rights up for grabs and a good built-in storyline with the two head coaches going head-to-head. Should be a lot of hype leading up to the game. I know we have a couple games on future schedules, but it would be good to rekindle the series. Give me an annual matchup against Texas State over the likes of South Alabama or any FCS opponent. I'm not going to call this a litmus test for coach Morris, but it's pretty close to one. His tenure has not gotten off to the start we were sold on. In fact it's been pretty disappointing. In two seasons, Morris has a record of 11-13 (.458). Those 11 wins have come against teams with a collective record of 45-87 (.341). His signature win is against South Alabama who finished 6-6 in the regular season this year, but did win their bowl game to finish 7-6 to become only the second team with a "winning" record he's beaten (FCS SFA at 7-5 is the other). Ouch. 2 of the 11 or 18.2% of coach Morris's wins have come against FCS opponents. 4 of the 11 or 36.4% of coach Morris's wins have come against teams named Tulsa and Temple. This is going to be an important game for coach Morris. I hate to utter these words, but is this an "opportunity" game? If we win, he will get a little bit of a lift and goodwill for the program and his tenure so far. If we lose or do so in embarrassing fashion, I think his time here is running out. Of course, I don't know how we treat bowl games anymore. They run the spectrum of meaningless exhibition games to the game that defines a coach's legacy. Should be fun.

      Sure. But this wasn't the first game I have thought this about. My knowledge of hoops is limited and I try to stay out of posting on the BB board for that reasons. Maybe it happens multiple times every game played by every team, but it seems like NT's defense forces this turnover type regularly against good and bad teams. Probably just selective memory. GMG
