This looks like a post DP from the early 90s

Pathetic. A football program is the best way to market your school. For 25 years we have been marketing that we are pathetic with a few signs of being mediocre.

I hate to say this, but, this program isn't going any direction but down. We are back to the pre-JJ days but without the excuses the previous coaches had. Sad.

Except we were playing good teams in the post DP SWC.

A&M was a good team this year. Tech, TCU and Houston are decent/average/mediocre teams and UCF looks like they might be another good team. The SWC was pretty weak in those early 90's but we are clearly more talented today than what we put on the field in the early 90's

maybe - you could make that argument, but we have no excuse for not being competitive like we did post DP. This Houston team is not as good as any SWC team from the 90s and Tech and TCU turned out to be very mediocre teams.

This team looked totally unprepared not physically outclassed. That in my mind is the difference.

yep- unprepared, unmotivated and had a very poor game plan. Not a good recipe for a novice QB.

I disagree
I'm looking at the talent we have on the field today and comparing it to the teams in the early 90's when we were re-building the roster...as in the team that lost to Houston 95-21. I would like to see what Gregg and Rossley could do with this level of talent compared to what they had in those days
