Didn't give up

I was pretty upset midway through the 4th when it looked like we were playing with no desire but I liked what we showed the last 2 minutes (even if it was meaningless). Enjoyed seeing the guys continuing to fight out there. Lets build off this because there were some good thing out there today.

We have a very good chance to win next week playing at home again.

Every year at this time is like Groundhog Day. We complain, but we still come back. Probably different this time. I think a lot more people give up on the team this time.

If we'd shown the fire we had at the 2:00 mark at the 8:00 point, might have made something happen.

thats when a coach who is under 50 might come in handy - to actually get a little fire in the belly. Never have seen that out of June. Never.

He seems to be plenty competitive, but he doesn't wear his emotions on his sleeve ... and for the record, he didn't seem to have "a little fire in the belly" when he had Hawaii at 12-0, either. That's just not his on-field demeanor. Someone (Mason?) said in one of PP's stories that it would take a few games to survive the OOC schedule and for everyone to mesh. I think he's right.

I agree that we didn't give up, which was a good sign. At least one of the BS calls added a touchdown to the final margin, and the last play was stopped at the 1. We lost and deserved to lose, but the game was not as lopsided as the score.

we had a pretty average TT team in our sites, and we let them off the hook by not having any fire. We need a young up and coming coach. We have wrung all we can out of this old dude.

Screw Moral victories and that "we didn't quit-rah rah crap. We lost to a team that we should have beat. We were outcoached.

Tech was not a team we should have beat. It was a team we COULD have beat, but they have more athletes than we do, and it showed.

North Dakota bleeping state beat Kansas State-don't you think after 6 years and 12 million dollars June could pull a win like that?????

exactly - tired of our fans that only expect below average for us. we have a 72 year old basketball coach that will not accept losing. that is what we need for football regardless of his age.

We don't have TTU's talent. Period.

We were well coached, the players played hard, GG didn't make mistakes and played well. The best I've seen.

But TTU didn't give the game away with turnovers, missed opportunities ect.

They beat us with better talent.

I actually think SMU played up to its talent but was worn down, Hopefully TCU will make mistakes and keep us in the game. But I'm sure their coaches are like - just don't make mistakes and this one is in the bag.

I saw Hawaii games and he had more fire at Hawai than he does at SMU. Stop that lie. Mason said in a PP interview? Are you Corso and PP?
