We had them until Mo went down, I'm still salty about that game

Get a proper gap going again

What were the gambling odds/payoff if UTSA won? The more open and widespread legal sports betting becomes, the more we'll see this kind of stuff. If it was related gambling, it's outright illegal and dude should be held accountable.

Agreed. We had a howitzer mounted on a potato two years ago who finished around middle of the pack in a ton of metrics within the conference.

Charismatic dude. He speaks with conviction and his words have meaning, it's not empty coach speak. I'm glad he's here, I do feel like he's as much of a life coach to these guys as he is a football coach.

I feel like this has been the trend for most of the years since 2019 - rock solid defense (generally) and narcoleptic offense. I'm still hopeful that last year was a sign of long term change in the independence of offensive playcalling.

Bad oline, neither matters?

If I had to guess the coaching strategy, we'll probably be grinding for wins with the run game and hoping for another year of being 10+ in turnover margin. It's not impossible, Drake being better than his experience level and the receivers being able to get separation will help with that.

5-4 in conference if all the chips fall as prognosticated. That would be fairly consistent based on our history under PJ and pretty good with a freshman playcaller, let's hope that's how it pans out at the worst.

To the argument that there are a lot of fees that are more egregious than this, the thing that sticks to me it that the U at its core is an academic institution, not an athletic institution. Students are being asked to pony up $200 for athletes who aren't furthering the students' education or...

On principle I think it's an awful decision. Tuition already covers fees related to the athletic department, adding costs to pay athletes that many (probably a plurality) of these students will never go to watch looks dirty. The excuse of "yeah, well other schools are doing it" rings hollow. And...

Pretty sure an enormous amount of NIL money would be directed towards him if he does well. We're not accustomed to having an elite player at qb, I imagine we'd be pulling out all the stops to keep him here

So.... How close is he to his peers wage wise? How big is the salary difference between him and the #8 or #9 guy?

Having Moore, Rhule, and Riley above Fleck is hilarious and shows what a dink the author is. 2023 also sucked, but I wouldn't put it in the tier of "disastrous." If we've achieved so much relevance that we can consider a 6 win year disastrous, I think we've made it, fellas.

Definitely looks terrifying on paper. O'Connell has a track record of making historically bad/over their head qbs look mediocre at worst, though. I could see Howell being Brad Johnson levels of serviceable if he had to jump in. Helps to have one of the better wr duos in the league running...

Ditto. I wish him nothing until we play each other, to which I will wish him to have three dropped passes, 2 catches for 6 yards, and half a dozen blown blocks leading to TFLs! You're officially in-conference competition until you're not anymore, kid. Maroon and Gold til the day I die, no one...

I could fathom the worst case scenario happening. I don't think it will, but if the line sucks and we can't run, forcing Drake to shoulder the offense will not be ideal. And even if the defense plays like rockstars, time of possession will kill them as the season goes on if we're constantly...

I'll always appreciate the guy, he thought he could do it and he couldn't. I don't believe for one second he was fraudulent at any point like a lot of people seem to think, he was just in over his head. And, without Brew we don't get Kill, and without Kill we don't end up in a situation where...

It's a combination of all of these takes that y'all have posted. Fleck is the common denominator but the guy has been doing ALL of the right things in the intangibles and behind the scenes departments

The Ozempic revolution continues for better or worse
