FB vs the Thundering Turds, Sat at 2:30

Loved the change in rushing attack... Moving lineman..

[Bootsy]

We have a punter is STPotW

Will someone pencil in “punter” on the recruiting needs list?

[Yosef84]

We do not have a particularly good team. We're an average Sun Belt team. Two conference wins is very disappointing. But if we win next week, maybe the rebuild can get us competitive in '27.

Did you mistype, or do you mean you think App won't be competitive next year?
Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I think this team, after having another year to gel with the coaching staff, get healthy, and bring in some recruits/transfers, could be really good in 2026.

I was having the same though. App should be very competitive next season or there is definitely a problem. I think coaches do need time to get things implemented, but the time frames are all condensed in today's world.

Here's something I was thinking about today. Feel free to light me up for this.
Remember in 2023 when a whole lot of folks on this board were pointing out that every App loss except against Troy was by less than a touchdown? There were a lot of comments along the lines of "we are only 3-4 plays away from being undefeated." This logic was used as a reason to keep the faith in the coaching staff, etc.

Can that same logic not apply to this year's team?
The only bad losses App has are to Boise and JMU.
App lost to Coastal, ODU, and GA Southern by a combined 13 points.
App is probably 4 plays away from being 8-3. And we all know the Southern Miss game should've been a W except for the 400 horribly timed fumbles.

I'm just saying, I still have hope for this team and coaching staff.

[Cro-Magnon App]

We’re going to need a place kicker, too. Unless we pay the young man, somebody is going to come in and take him.

We should have lost the Oregon state game and ga southern if not for being idiotic in their play calling would have beaten us by 21. I respect your optimism but we honesty should have lost to Marshall as well. This is not a competitive team and the stats prove that. The only two “good” teams we played completely destroyed us in jaw dropping fashion. No one knows what the future holds but this team is not good. And I’d argue the coastal and ga southern losses at home are bad losses

It is interesting how people can turn similar events two completely different directions.

I don’t think anyone considers this a good team. Scrappy, sure. But, why Isn’t that a reason for optimism? We are a bad team and have lose 3 games by a combined 13 points. All 3 of the programs are in year 6, 3 and 4 of their coaching staff. We are in year 1 with an abbreviated offseason, struggling and still competitive with them? I just don’t see how so many people can be negative towards the program.

UNT AD quote
Just remember we lead Division I two years ago in new players and we had the second most new players going into this season. Try not to panic just yet! Rebuilding is the new norm.

Because they want to.
