Please tell me you aren't serious

...? You think we will lose by less? We did not look great tonight. I do like your optimism. I hope we beat OU but based on tonight we do not get close :/

Good job on the win Mean Green! 1-0

A win is a win, but we should have won by 20 plus. Last year this game was a lose so at least it is an improvement but if we do not change things we will lose to Oklahoma by 40 plus :/

People like to be negative. I left you a plus one on it.

Not what I meant by you not being serious.

We should beat the NAIA national champion by 30+. This was a team in it's second year of existence coming off a 4 win season in NAIA competition. This should've been a 50 point win at home.

I haven't argued with you about your support for Benford, but this absolutely is not progress.

It's bad is when, in all seriousness, the opposing teams' fans who were sitting behind us asked me, "You guys are D1? What's wrong with them? " And he was serious. Not smack talk, he actually sounded concerned and confused. They fully expected to get their doors blown off. I was a little ashamed at the start the bus chant. When we struggle to beat NAIA, I don't feel it's an appropriate response.

People are tired of hearing justifications and excuses on why things aren't "that bad." The more excuses, the longer Benford is given passes and more time to fix things. But he isn't exactly fixing things.

Keeping things positive isn't a bad thing. Pretending everything is okay and things are going to get better if everything remains the way it is, is a bad thing.

Disclaimer: Not saying you were pretending everything is okay, just explaining why you will get dislikes if you post like that.

Not saying it is real progress but I am happy we won. The game had a different feel to it. They were a shorter team so Colman was taken out of the picture early and Jordan had to play a lot at the 4 (maybe we he had a poor scoring night). I am hoping that if we play a larger team we can at least match up better. Still Oklahoma is looking to beat us by quite a bit if we do not do something). They ran a. 3-2 zone and really forced us to swing the ball to try to feed it into the paint. Hopefully we will see man against Oklahoma though... I think!?

Are you telling me that NAIA Northwood dictated game play for the Mean Green? We had to take out the ever-improving Coleman because their lineup was small?!?

Exactly what I got from that post. Ridiculous. I guess with enough excuses you really can justify just about anything.

Andrew, comment?

Did I not raise a red flag when I said we will lose to Oklahoma by 40 plus if things do not change? I am happy we won but not happy how we came about it. I am hoping we will match up better with Oklahoma and both Coleman and Gaines can stay on the floor at the same time so Jordan can play the 3. It might open some things up. With that said we have a lot to improve on; poor shooting and sub par defense almost cost us this one. When we did get a stop we capitalized in transition whichever as nice to see. we need to get more stops on D so we can do that more often. Alzee and Brandon both did well in transition.

Message board approval is very important to you, so I will give you this...

We better celebrate this victory tonight...its probably one of about 4 we will enjoy this year (and that might be aiming too high)

Benford'd...thanks RV

      🙄 like I have stated before DC under a lame duck coach is not a highly desired job for coaches with options.

      That is very subjective. Boise State or UNLV probably will get the G5 spot in the playoff over a one loss Army team. Louisville, SMU, Houston, Rutgers and Cincinnati left conference for greener pastures. So I don’t know who anointed the AAC as 5th, but the playoff committee isn’t listening to them. Army, a team brand new to the conference that came into the conference and dominated. They were independent juggernauts last year at 6-6 🙄. AAC is viewed as better than the MAC, CUSA and Sun Belt. But we certainly won’t be viewed as better than the reconstructed PAC 12 and right now it doesn’t look like we are viewed better than the current MWC.

      Football at The Dat next wrekend

      Don't if y'all know this or not.....but the last two years we've had Texas high school football games played in Louisiana. Both years the games have been at Turpin Stadium in Natchitoches. As a matter of fact, this year they hosted two games on the same day. (Daingerfield versus Newton, and Texarkana versus Port Neches Grove). Both games were last Friday.

      The exact same thing was probably thought by other fan bases about Eric, Seth, Dan, and any other head coach we’ve hired here.
