Yeah, after 50 years, I can't do it anymore. The saddest part is I'm not all that upset watching this game. Just numb...

If we suck, we suck. Just is what it is. I’m not ready to throw in the towel after halfway through the second. Jesus. Why would anyone want to play for us if that is the type of support we give? We will suck forever.

Maybe. Lebby won't ever see the sun

Yep, we never hire anyone that's proven anything. I guess Leach was the exception. We are always experimenting with first time HCs.

Yep. This is their Super Bowl. 17 Cohen fir scheduling them, especially a straight home and home. He might've been worse for us than LT.

This. If this program under the current leadership can’t recruit/purchase and coach well enough to beat a conference USA team handily then they need to be gone. The issue is our dumbass major boosters just care about baseball which they hang their hat on….even though we’ve sucked in that for the past 3 seasons also. Just stupid. The whole program and everyone associated with it are dumbasses

Same. Except it hasn't been 50 years for me.

You do??

Another 3rd down without Whitson on the field

I say Mullen, but I doubt he'd come back anyway. We need a guy like him though that can find undeveloped talent at other schools now that the portal is here. We need a guy that has his eye for what could be, not necessarily what is now

Where is 7 going at LB when the qb can run. Ran totally out of position

Mullen doesnt have time to develop players in this era.

No one can be a development program anymore. NIL and the portal ruined that. Until we go back to 1 transfer and done, we're screwed.

Yeah you can. You don't do it through redshirting, but you can absolutely find guys that have another level. We have to find a guy with that eye for talent bc we're at huge financial disadvantage. ASU last season did just this

Lol... stupid penalties

OL still sucks

Steen is terrible

That might work in the Big 12, but it doesn't in the SEC. It takes studs to win. We can't afford studs and there's no patience or ability to develop them. Our best QB is sitting on the bench in Baton Rouge.

Talk about a big play. Great run

54 couldn't block my 72 year old ass!

This oline is pure trash

RTDF

Steen looks like a decoy

Steen?s not very good (RT)

This team sucks. We are getting beat on the LOS on both sides and Hurzler needs to be fired. Hutzlers defensive scheme ain't helping.

I mean if you trying to win the sec, you might as well give up now. I'm talking like vandy last season. With our budget, 8 win seasons should be the goal, not actually competing.

So when did WORK get injured? In pregame warmups? Getting on the bus? Getting OFF the bus? Eating breakfast? Damn!

He's turrable. I'm fairly sure me and my two fat buddies, one with mild CP, could get pressure on Shapen. We have not improved the OL at all.

Steen is bad.

OL and DL are not impressing me to this point. One half of football, first game of the year is a little too quick to judge, but we really need to turn it up soon!

USM has more new players than we do and they are having all the penalties.

Awful clock management there. Huddle after that Booth run.

we are so sloppy
