agree 100%, it gets old and quite frankly, I have written off FB until JJ leaves.

Not that his successor will necessarily be better, but JJ ain't changing, this is as good as it gets.

This is what happens when you evaluate marginal talent, instead of recruiting top notch talent. . . Was going to spend money for the Rutgers, UCF football games. . . Think I'll just save the money to attend more SMU basketball games.

We have yet to come to play against a B12 team...our plea to join the B12 looks laughable...Hawaiian Zombie is frowny-face on the sideline...just give the job to Mumme at this point...he acts like he gives a crap

In this game we were badly out coached on both sides of the ball. D did not blitz and let a walk-on frosh with 4 weeks of practice eat us alive. 3 man rush did not work. O play calling initially was good and went south in the second half. Time to scrap the GG experiment and let Burcham take over and plan for the future.

Wow that last TD was just guys worn out and failing to wrap up. They made that freaking guy look like Red Grange (which he aint).

Just because we get down we don't HAVE to give up. That's on coaching and happens every time.

JJ coached his normal game- a true loser. Mason's strategy was very disappointing.

I disagree. They simply lack the talent to hang with TTech


I do not see a great talent difference. I see a frosh QB who is simply much better than 5th year GG who still hesitates and does not fully know the offense. Also, KIngsbury out coached JJ with better play calls plus their blitzing was effective and we failed to use the blitz.


Pocono,

You realize that SMU has at most 20 players that Tech would have taken out of HS. Tech has at least 70 players SMU would have taken from HS. HUGE talent difference, especially with depth And I agree, Tech will most likely be a bottom tier Big12 team this season.

But in practice those touches count as tackles.

So Cal- that is a result of pea-poor recruiting. NO relationships with Texas coaches etc and you end up with only DIRs.
