  1. For the 2nd year in a row, one of our best players has quit on the team midseason to preserve a redshirt, ostensibly to bank NIL at a P4 next season. CFB is broken.
  2. Did he all of a sudden win 10 games? Is he even close to .500 vs teams w/ a winning record? There's your answer. He needs to hurry up and make the move. UTSA is going to continue to be a poor, even compared to their G5 peers. He's taken that program as high as it's ever going to go. History says that if he stays there, he's more likely to be fired than poached in the end. I don't see him getting fired any time soon, but it is ignorant to ignore history. If you watch any of his pressers, that dude seems stressed af. Morris came into this season with a HC record of 11-14. This season, he is 7-1 with zero wins against FBS team with a winning record. 0-1 vs teams w/ a winning record, although they are favored against Navy. I think Navy runs them into the ground (#1 Run O vs #120 Run D), but we'll see. I said it previously and stand by it: The most likely way Morris gets poached is by a P4 that also needs a QB.
  3. I'd argue it has a lot more to do with the players who have been poached - none of whom came from UIW in the 1st place. Our defense would look a whole lot different if we could have kept those guys. RB Ismail Mahdi is the leading rusher for Arizona OT Alex Harkey is starting at Oregon DT Terry Webb is starting for SMU LB Max Harris starting for Arizona LB Ben Bell is starting for VA Tech DT Dominique Ratcliff in playing at Indiana DT Tavian Coleman is playing at Colorado DE Tunmise Adeleye is playing at UNLV CB Josh Eaton is playing at Michigan State K Mason Shipley is 12/15 for Texas K Brendan Franke is 2/3 for Indiana, including one from 58yds WR Kole Wilson at Baylor (#4 WR) and OL Jimeto Obigbo at Arizona State (reserve, but playing) are the only players we'd love to still be in SMTX that originally came from UIW. However, Wilson was a GJK recruit, not a Morris recruit.
  4. We're not entirely dead yet, but it will just about take a miracle to even hit 6 wins and a bowl game at this point. At least we don't have to listen to the nonsense about Kinne getting poached anymore. Silver linings and whatnot. While JMU was putting belt to ass last night, we did have a pretty badass TD throw from our QB:
  5. Certainly not a Defensive Genius, and apparently only an Offensive Genius early? Funny how all the talk of Kinne getting poached stops in October.
  6. lol @ UNT Lotta chest thumping for a team that hasn't beat anyone w/ a pulse
  7. Our new End Zone Complex:
  8. Bobcats w/ the SWT throwbacks for Homecoming. We've been doing this the past couple of years and it's a great look.
  9. An offensive genius should be able to win this game, yes?

    Had to look it up and you're correct. Players are eligible to take a redshirt if the coach leaves, but they don't get an extra one if they've already used theirs.

    QB @ UNLV did it last year. He's currently running 2nd string at James Madison. Our best defensive player did this last year and it royally fucked us. Ben Bell decided the week of the Sam Houston game that he was going to redshirt in his 5th year so that he could get a big NIL payday via the portal in 2025. He went to VA Tech and has started all 4 games so far. The kicker w/ him is because his coach got fired, he could shut it down again, portal again for another NIL payday, and play a 7th year.
  12. It's in the numbers. I haven't run them in a couple of years, but in when I last did it in 2020: 39 G5 HC had been poached by P5 programs in the previous 10 years. 82% of those had a 10 win season within their 1st 5 years (a couple had a previous 10 W season at another G5). The other 18% had been a coordinator at that P5, a coordinator at a Top 5 P5, had a relationship w/ a bigtime donor, or resurrected Temple. From 2016-2020, the numbers were even more stark: 14/17 G5 -> P5 hires had a 10 win season in their 1st 5 years, 10 of those in the 1st 4 years. Traylor and Morris are much more likely to get the gig than Kinne. Traylor has much more experience in P4, has 5+ years as HC w/ proven results: 2 Conf Titles; 12, 11, 9 win seasons; 6 bowl games. UTSA has shit NIL and a G5 coach that doesn't move up after winning 10 games is more likely to be fired than find long term success at that G5 (couldn't see that there, but just saying). Pat Hill types are rare. Morris has 5+ years HC experience, more P5 experience, was absolutely the UIW architect, and most importantly, can probably bring his QB with him. Same recruiting area. Also, UNT and Denton are a dump in tornado alley. He's getting paid peanuts @ $1.3M. Kinne was an early adopter of the portal, and it's worked well for us, but on a razor's edge. Only 3 years of HC experience. 4-6 vs 0.500+ teams, 2-0 in bowl games, does have a P4 W. My biggest complaint: losses to really shitty teams last year kept us from that 10 win mark. I personally think he's waiting for Baylor.
  13. He hasn't won 10 games and has zero connection to Weinberg. There is next to no chance he's getting poached. He wasn't a better coach when they played last year.
  14. Standard work from the beepbeeps
  15. Was in Tempe for the TXST @ ASU game, and can't express how good the ASU helmets look in person. Just really badass - gold/maroon prismatic fade that switches as the angle changes.
  16. UIW is ass. Haven't had a winning season since 2009. If the ASU coach doesn't sit their starters and let the backups play, it's a damn coaching mistake.
  17. Our stud is our RS as well: Sam Wunsch out of Cedar Park. B2B All Conf 1st Team and should be in the running for POY this season, but we'll see how that goes w/ us leaving the conference. We ride her pretty hard - last night's stat line: 60 swings, 21 kills, 7 blocks, 13 digs and an ace. She's full of piss and vinegar - team's emotional leader as well.
  18. Never in a million years did I think we'd be airing football commercials. From the comments, it has been airing in SATX for a while now.
  19. Actually pretty happy w/ a massive moral victory here. We have started off terribly this season, and played as poorly last weekend as I've seen in the past 7-8 years. Little lineup tweak, our stud returning to form, some poor play from ASU, and a hell of a lot of fight. Last week I wasn't sure if we could compete for another Sun Belt title on our way out, and now I might be back to feeling cocky about our chances for another NCAA berth. Gave them everything we had for those 1st 3 sets:
  20. Haven't heard about any circumcisions just yet, but there's still time.
  21. Same unis as last week @ UTSA for the road trip to Arizona State, just a different helmet decal. Haven't seen the Sun Devils' uniform reveal just yet, but I believe they are going full maroon. Should be a good uniform matchup.
  22. Some good crowd shots here:
