I feel like an for thinking you were the voice of reason 2 weeks ago. Wake up. The player are bad but the results are on a different level.

I heard Lubin almost puked during the first BB practice. Is that true?

I have no problem benching Newsome in the second half. The fumbles are a problem and it needs to be fixed. High and tight, cover it on contact!!! But, he aside from Davis is our next best offensive option. He showed the ability to be an every down back, if he can protect the ball. I like that he fights for extra yards but he needs to secure the ball. It's a fixible problem. I am confident, it's something he will work on. Tiki Barber was a similar type player, who had issues fumbling. He was able to correct it. I believe Newsome can too. That process needs to start now! We need him on the field.

I agree Newsome is our most explosive player. The TO's were killer, but he makes plays.

I cannot be this pessimistic. The defense plays well for long stretches. Some way some how Diaco needs to find a way to field a competent offense. That starts with a game plan that the personel could actually execute. I will give him a clue for free. Slow developing plays should not be part of the game plan.

They lose Davis and Foxx. Don't have a single offensive lineman and don't have a quarterback.

You can't gameplan around that.

You win the prize then. If you weren't drunk tonight, then you are one miserable pr.i.ck of a newbie.
I love s like you. I have had season tickets since 1999. I joined this board a couple of years ago to read up on the team. Me a newbie? . Posting a lot of garbage does not make you a fan sonny.

If we go through another year like this year again next year, then you have to consider if we have the right guy. College teams graduate players every year. Players improve becoming familiar with their coach. These Olinemen have to get better by default. They're getting tons of reps.

I just want to see four wins next year. Beat an FBS team, blowout your FCS opponent. I've given up the pipe dream that we will be bowling anytime soon, but we simply can't continue to look this inept. Wasted two time outs today. They have clean that up.

The strawman expert speaks. Pay no attention to the clown behind the curtain. He gets off on games like this because it makes him think the football program will be cancelled soon.

Dear Mrs Diaco,

Your son is clueless

I am obviously a basketball fan first and foremost. I have watched every second of football this season, itching for a reason to dive in headfirst because I realize how important CFB is to the realignment process. I think Diaco could possibly be bringing in a tremendous change of culture to the program. I just hate when I see people sugarcoating some of the absurd coaching decisions that are occurring this season.

They can clean things up but you can't conjure an offensive line from nothing. And they may have a true freshman playing QB.

I'm hoping for a Matt Rhule like improvement in the COACHING dept next year. He looked lost year one, but looks solid this year. That is all I want. Forget wins and losses, just not looking totally clueless.

I don't know. That 2012 UMass team was as inept an offensive squad as I've seen. Now look at them 2 years later.

Go to bed. You're embarrassing yourself with yet another epic meltdown.

I've always admired how he defends the program no matter what. I wish I could do the same, but there is no defending scoring three points against Tulane.

We should never complain about this conference ever again. Were lucky they allow us to play football in it. We are by far the worst team in this league. I watched Tulsa look competent on offense against Temple today and Tulane shut us the fugg down. Chew on that everyone that rags on Tulane and Tulsa.

Well that's 2+ seasons and the MAC is horrific this year. They have like 4 of the 10 worst teams in the country.

I said all along I didn't expect much this season (I thought 6 wins was a long shot even with CC).

I realize our O line is VERY BAD ( and much different than the line from the end of last season).

But, this is next level ineptitude.

I mean, this is just beyond dreadful.

3 points scored against Tulane??

There's a middle ground between not having the players, taking time to evaluate a new staff etc. but this team gets worse and more lost every week and that is on Diaco.
