ACU is better than Tarleton. And I just threw up a little in my mouth saying that. Love y’all’s optimism, but I see it 38-24 ACU. I really hope I’m wrong. ACU doesn’t look very good? We gave them a game and they almost didn’t take it. Maybe homecoming is why they struggled so bad on offense? Our offense giving it to them 5 times helped for sure.

It will be interesting to see how recruiting goes this offseason.

One thing I like, no one is really making stupid comments about Coach. We only won 20 games over like 6 years. It’s gonna take time unfortunately. I still think we have the players too. I just don’t know the answers to our issues.

We should land a lot of players, most could come in and play right now. Early playing time could be a huge selling point.

Score doesn’t really tell the game. 13-16 and we are about to tie or take the lead in the 4th and drop a wide open pass. Then we quit. We moved it easily on them, think TSU had better team and definitely more explosive offense. Our defense shut down ACU offense today. They just didn’t turn it over where we did 5 times on just bad plays…junior varsity type stuff.

If if if, doesn’t win games. Tarleton just lost two in a row that we should have won going away. I’m sick about it and hate the world right now. But like Bill Parcells said, UNA and Tarleton are what they are. We can blame coaches, and we can blame turnovers, and we can even blame the weather, but the other teams overcame that mess. We gotta just keep trying I guess. And drink a lot!

Go and watch how we lost to EKU. You’ll feel a little better maybe.

I just don’t know the answers to our issues. Overall I’ve been pleased with the staff. Our defense last year was absolutely terrible, and while some of the point totals we’ve given up this year don’t show it, this group is so much better. Our offense needs more talent. Lacey is a WR that we’re trying to force to be a RB and he keeps getting banged up because his body isn’t built for the position. Driggers is a good complimentary guy, but not good enough to shoulder the entire load. Our receivers are a pretty good group, but Walters is so inconsistent throwing it. Four interceptions is an absolute killer and I’m guessing the winning percentage of teams that throw that many in one game, historically, is in the single digits. Now maybe he’s forcing things some because he basically IS our offense. He’s a good scrambler and makes things happen sometimes that you wouldn’t expect. But then he’ll follow it up with a mistake. Looking ahead, we might have a winnable game in Utah Tech. Otherwise, I hope we start playing some young guys on both sides and just get ready for next year.

I would think we land 7 transfers for next year. Qb maybe 2 to come in compete. 2 running backs, we have some young smaller guys but not a true 200+ running back. Kicker did I type kicker, definitely a kicker. A middle linebacker, we have some guys that show up at times, just not consistent. Defensive scheme has been solid for sure. Keep us in so many games, if we only had more than TK on offense. Speaking of TK he is gone after this year. What receiver do we have coming back that will scare anyone other than us fans? I think we go after an outside receiver and a slot guy. Ok so maybe 8 guys. Dline is getting better and fairly deep. Secondary for most part has been very good this year. Oline is better than last year but really needs to improve. Coaching seems to be better, talent must improve to compete in conference. How did we beat UTC?

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say? When our radio crew if frustrated at refs, that tells you more than you need to know... They are probably the most unbiased crew in the country that tells it how it is. You can't beat a team and the refs.
