Re: Portal time 25-26
Seriously, this is ridiculous, named the starter for the bowl game and does this… I wouldn’t sign up to coach in this era the G6 level, just not worth it. At this point, I’m thinking it’s an agent negotiating tactic. Player/agent says “here’s what we want.” The school counters or says “no” And the ...

Re: At ECU
Two of those turned down an increase in pay to return. Hint: Both over 6’8. I wonder if they see what's happened to Abson and realize money isn't the only thing that matters? While he doesn’t play much, Abson is the 2nd most efficient player on that team according to advance metrics. It’s a differe...

Re: At ECU
I find it hard to believe that we are going to increase attendance to home games. Even when we win (in this case by double digits) it’s not just ugly, it’s BAD ugly. I was, and still am, a supporter of Dustin Kerns, but his coaching style is ugly basketball. When App is winning, I don't mind it, bu...

Re: Birmingham Bowl
I know everyone talks about extra practices, but we practiced in Spring Ball, summer workouts and for 13-14 weeks this season. We have injuries. Are we going to gain that much from extra practices in the era of the portal? If the players want to play, then I support it. Life is too short and you on...

Re: Birmingham Bowl
My gut tells me Rondo/Manuel, McCantos and LittleJohn will play. If they care anything about rivalries and TIGMA. I don’t think the rivalries and TIGMA matter to that group, but it’s a chance to pad their resume and play in the only game that day on the mothership. But, will DLo let them??? What ar...

Re: Let's pile on Gillin!!!!!
We need to come up with something great to start the 4th quarter. What we have now is just boring. Used to be Mountain Music but that is usually the 2nd half song of the game. I do like the “4th Quarter at The Rock” video they do. Good motivational video, just to follow it up with a song that gets ...

Re: Let's pile on Gillin!!!!!
Fix Miller Hill with Astro turf or seats. Looks horrible with mud and trash all over it. Agreed. Ive been beating this drum for years. It is long past due to bowl in miller hill with seats. Long past due. Move the BOD over there so they can blast the entire stadium and all of campus. Put students o...

Re: Let's pile on Gillin!!!!!
Speaking of bleachers, I would suggest that the east side expansion could be a good opportunity to install individual seats throughout the stadium. Or maybe everywhere but the student sections. Would reduce total capacity, but that would be offset by the expansion. And the metal bleachers are becom...

Re: Hanging on for 26
Any clue if our nil account is giving out more $ than last year or previous years? It is what it is.. whether I like or not... It does play a role into getting some guys in the portal as compared to another team. From someone within our administration who should know: In 2026, we will more than dou...

Re: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly- Arkansas State
I put the defensive effort in my Good. Three takeaways. Three Sacks. Four tackles for losses. Six Passes Defended: In four 4th Quarter possessions: grabbed an interception and forced two punts. Front Line making plays, LB's rallying to the ball and grabbing an INT by clogging the passing lanes. The ...

Re: Hanging on for 26
#41 Caleb Sandstrom (who came out of FCS) and #93 DeNigel Cooper are a couple of young DL players who gave us good reps the second half of the season.

Re: Hanging on for 26
I am as disappointed as anyone but I have fond a few things to hang onto for 26. No I didn’t see the players or the coaching we will need to compete for Sunbelt championship. But I’m hanging onto three things for 2026. I did see individual players improve over the season. Just naming a few, Mbake, ...

Re: FB vs the fake ASU Saturday at 2:30
There is no excuse for that penalty. Not with timeouts left. Thats e on the staff. Maybe if we had a sharp OC upstairs they would have recognized it and gotten a timeout called. Did anyone on the field or sidelines even realize that we were lined up illegally? Evidently not. Also thinking that we s...

Re: No more upsets
If you want to add fuel to the fire, check out the P4 basketball standings. ALL BUT ONE of P4 teams + The Big East are .500 or better. At most, there are one or two teams per conference at at.500. The ACC has three undefeated teams, 5 one loss teams and 4 more two loss teams. In the Big 12, all 17 t...
