Unless a bunch of G5 FBS schools drop down, I think FCS will remain watered-down.

I think whomever plays better on Saturday will start game two.

That is correct. Loose lips sink ships.

I agree with you. I predicted Jerry would start (no sources, just a hunch) and it looks like that's what will happen. If Jerry can take hold of the starting job, I don't think he'll relinquish it unless he gets hurt.

I think our days of crapping the bed on the road and underachieving vs. bad teams at home are over. If we lose, it will because the team we are playing is better than us, not because we just didn't show up.

I also think Schmidt won't hesitate to pull veterans who aren't getting the job done and replace them with underclassmen. No keeping your job because you put in your time in the program. Performance and results will matter again.

This is where I am at. This team will go through some growing pains early on. But I also think they'll get better and better as the season progresses. In a couple of years, I think Schmidt will have us to the point where we are contending for MVFC titles and high playoff seeds.

So a ban on online enrollment? Yeah, that's a good idea. 🙄

Shhhhh, we aren't supposed to talk negatively about anything here! Otherwise, whatever you post will be written off as "fans bitching". (sarcasm)

Red Pepper is still here. Although changing their bread was a bad choice, IMO.

If the returning players can't get it done, you may very well see a lot of freshman thrown into games.

I'm with you. Let's give Schmidt a few years to get this thing turned around before we start having destination games.

I am willing to give the coaching staff the benefit of the doubt, as it is a new year and a new regime in charge. But please, whomever starts, no more short hopping balls to the receiver.

IALTO! 😂

I honestly don't care who starts as long as they can help us win. I just don't want to watch balls short hopped to our receivers over and over again.

To be fair, our facility upgrades didn't come online until very recently. But the new regime will likely do a better job of utilizing them in recruiting.

I think Jerry starts.

I hope that isn't the case with JTJ. But I guess personnel evaluation has always been a crapshoot.

JTJ hasn't been here that long. I think he is still learning the system. I think the longer he is here, the better he'll get.

I think Jerry is the front runner, but that's just a guess.

This excuse has been used to justify mediocrity in several of our other programs. It is the attitude that has held us back in so many areas for the past 15 years. It's time to ditch it.

A total housecleaning is needed.

I think most minority owners just hang around to get a piece of the financial pie without having to do much.

I think we'll have some growing pains early on. But I think we'll get better as the season goes on.

My thoughts exactly.
