It is very possible there is more at play. Unfortunately, we won’t find that out this year.hapapp wrote: ↑Thu Nov 20, 2025 1:19 pmIn this portal age it is possible to make significant changes for the better quicker than in the past.

One of the ESPN talking heads made a comment that the most important step in today’s world for G6 programs is to retain your existing talent.hapapp wrote: ↑Thu Nov 20, 2025 1:19 pmIn this portal age it is possible to make significant changes for the better quicker than in the past.

I agree. Whatever shining stars we have on this roster we need to retain and build from that base (it may be a small one). Maybe we’re retaining a freshman kicker at this point, but some consistency would be better than none.

When’s the last time App and Marshall have played each other when both teams were .500 or under?
