Finn may be one of the worst option QBs I've ever seen. His lack of understanding of the fakes is bizarre

well, he did throw two interceptions to John Tarleton Agricultural Junior College

Seriously. If I was Sawyer and they have this high school quarterback play the entire game I would put my hat in the transfer portal Sunday.


Or, maybe he sees our offense and says to himself that the sideline is safe.

Backup QB has to be the guy coming out in second half, right?

Great call bringing this clown back. Mack needs to go
Yes, Mack needs to be responsible for this. He flushed another year by failing to fire Aranda after last season. This season could have been a rebuilding year with a new staff/direction. Instead, everything is delayed a year. What a waste...

Phil?...the guy who puts out the magazine?


These guys know so much particularly about our history that they will tell you he was the coach between Dale Rogers and Chuck Morriss.
You left off Rudy Feldman.
Yep. Teaff turned it around in year 3. Same with Rhule. Amanda turned it around in three - going the wrong way This team looks like what I'd expect when you fire coordinators left and right that were not the problem.

Penalty saved us from some bad decision-making. Let's get some points on the board.

BS…you go for it after the penalty if you were going to go the play before!
We don't have a single play of nine yards or more today. Going for it would have been dumb.

You like going for it on 4th and 3 on our end of the field as well?
The game's over. I don't really care anymore.

Finn is not the QB we need.

More importantly, Dave is not the coach we need.

The problem is, they are what we have. And that leads us to Mack...

100 percent. He brought Aranda back against the wishes of basically everyone. He attached his ass to the chopping block with that decision IMO.

Waco marketing has an opportunity to bring opposing fans to Waco. Visit Magnolia and watch your team beat Baylor's arse!

Are you really defending this garbage? Do you see a single thing so far we can hang our hat on? Other than having a punter


I predicted this to be a blow out before the game just like everybody else.

The difference is y'all are moaning about apparently ridiculous expectations in the face of a blowout.

Finn is throwing terribly. The OL is costing us the game. The D has blown some huge plays--but has otherwise looked decent. Literally none of that was unexpected.

All I'm saying is game 2 against the top of the conference is not a world ender when you were EXPECTED to be blown out anyway.

Can we deflect to the Fashion Ensemble for next week's game? It's usually our highlight.

promises were made and cash was exchanged. I think he will be starter until Colorado.

Likely the opportunity cost of not firing Dave will be more than the hard cost of firing him.

We were 14 point dogs. That's not an expected blowout. And this score isn't indicative of how bad of a beating this is.

The defense is going to be worn out after this 1st half. The defense looks better than last year. No comment regarding the offense except that you are getting paid.

Remember the days less than a decade ago when we lost all of our quarterbacks to injuries and ran for about 600 yards in a bowl game?

What was the name of that coach we had?

If Dave gets fired, everyone will be jumping ship. We'll be starting from scratch like Houston is.

I was hoping to avoid that, but it's a necessity at this point.

Ship sailed after Air Force. Hard stop. If we didn't fire him then there's no line.

We should have been doing that this season. Bringing him back delayed the inevitable and set us back even further. How Mack decided it was a good idea to give Dave a 5th year will never make sense

The sad thing is our defense has played well enough to keep us in this game and we're going to go to halftime down basically four scores.

Can only assume it has something to do with the contract he got?

I'm with you. I was pretty clear in my desire to move on last fall.
