You are implying that I expect a Baylor type team before I will attend more games.
No how about this expectation? How about expecting the team not to be sthe worst team in the country? How about expecting seeing a team that can tackle and how about this.... Not get humiliated by UNT another bottom 10 team.
Please footbaldad ... I'm not expecting to see Alabama. How about a team that is 80th rated in the country? How about a team that was on par with LouisianaTech?
Please. After 30 years my expectations have been beaten down to anything better than dead last!
All we are saying.....is give Chad a chance All we are saying.....is give Chad a chance

The sky HAS fallen.
We do have tremendous potential. I agree. I just can't watch this anymore until this potential is at least partially realized.

Haha, can't just go away like you promised huh? The only thing I 'implied' is that your personal support or criticism of the football program is irrelevant in the bigger scheme of things. Go enjoy a basketball game and quit your whining, it'll do you some good.

Hey, I'm not criticizing you, I checked out on this season the moment I heard JJ was coming back. Assuming we hire a quality staff whose battle cry from Day 1 is recruit, recruit, recruit, then I'm requesting remittance into the 1,500 club.

fbdad is just pissed because he knows his little kid will likely be one of the first ones cut and then no more freebies. There are very very few on this team that deserve to stay, based upon their abilities. We know the coaching has been sub-par but the coaches don't go out on the field and tackle, block and run the ball. There is an obvious reason that most of our recruits the last year or two have had very few 'major college' offers. We need to totally clean house. I hope those sunshiners of the past few years that are living in a fantasy world don't actually work in a real business. Most performance based people in business live by their quarter results and you are no better than your last qtr. In fball parlance that would be your last game. Obviously if a good businessman was 50% or less correct in his judgement he would be gone pronto.  Yet our admin. continued to embrace mediocrity and this is the end result.

Want to go in together for some Arkansas season tickets? They get it and are doing it right. 
Except their coach is an arrogant POS. I can't stand that guy.

Some of you folks are clueless. Just fire june three years ago, right?? forget the fact that he didn't breach his contract and we owe him 7.5 million - plus we have to go raise the money for the new guy - which is another 2.5 a year - plus give raises to the new staff - oh, and i forgot to mention our program loses 4M a year that we have to raise from those same people. It hacks me off to see people complain about the COC - when they are literally the only thing keeping this program alive.
I don't care if you have been following the team for 100 years, if you can't do basic math you shouldn't post on an message board. Or alternatively feel free to plunk down a few million to help us out.
As long as we have those kind of loyal alums basically paying for our team to keep its head above water, I am going to support this team and program and hope everyone can make a good hire and we can get out of the ditch. Until then i am not going to complain about the wrong people on a supposed fan message board. If you are hacked complain about June - who took our money and basically mailed it in for the last three years. That was robbery.
Go Mustangs. For as long as it takes.

Wow. Quite the contrary. Viewed as a very humble, forthright person who treats his players as family. And his wife is hot.
All those who believe in psycho kinesis, raise my hand

Haha, such an angry, bitter old man. He'll keep working hard for his teammates and looking forward to the arrival of the new staff. You just keep whining and he'll graduate in due time on his 'free' scholarship. You go crawl back in your little hole of hatred as these kids fight their way back to winning next year. Pathetic little man.

Seriously, football dad, you need to see someone and talk it out. Things will get better, and not everyone is your enemy.
