I hate that I have to ask this as a legitimate question, but will we have 100 players to suit up for a game next Fall? If we have 100, will they be players or bodies? Dilfer knows less about - and is worse at - recruiting than he does about halftime adjustments, so how else are we supposed to see this playing out? We'll not only go 0-12 but be beaten so bad every week it will reek of parody.

Has a group of people somewhere decided that 2025, I'm not saying "one more year of this" because it's going to be MUCH worse, is ok going down like that then we'll just hire a different coach and move on? I do think it will be so monumentally disastrous that most of the casual public will change their tune this time and call for a permanent shutdown. Who's going to protest Watts when we just went 0-12 with average margin of defeat somewhere above 30?

Portal window opens officially tomorrow.

If we ever had to fill 105 schollys, I currently lack expectations that would could fill 85 next season with even FCS caliber talent.

Last time we had a guy like Craft that stepped up and sounded the alarm. I don’t know where guys like that are now. We need a coalition of former players to raise concerns, but I’m guessing we just don’t have many guys that return as loyal fans after moving on from football.

I'm gonna call it Black (neon green) Monday

We have gone 3 days without any portal announcements.........think we are at #12, so it's not THAT bad. The bad part, the 12 includes some of our best players.

We are only inches away.

Yeah, but the portal opens tomorrow. We know who has announced, but that does know mean that we know everyone's plans.

There will probably be 8-10 more, for sure.

I had heard roughly 20 or so all together. Tristen was also pushed out the door. Sad news. Sione taking his place. I just vomited again.

Nauseating

That's what she said.

It's not the size of the ship, it's the motion of the ocean. Current conditions are Titanic is sinking in iceberg filled waters

Or a burn pit of human waste

IF Sione is taking his place then Ingram and Dilfer need fired both for hiring malpractice. Sione has zero college coaching experience (besides this Dilfsaster experiment) and zero recruiting experience (unless he was on that got Lipscomb in trouble for recruiting violations).


Every thing Ingram and Dilfer has done since they announced he's back for another year is a gut punch to fans.
WE have to protest at the Ark State game and we have to protest at the Birmingham Bowl.


I have emailed JOX, Next Round, all local news about the national articles on Ingram/Dilfer. Something has to give, and I won't stop until someone talks about it.

And it sounds like Ingram told multiple people this was not true and it's crazy how misinformation spreads so quickly. If that is true, it's just another thing to add to the list of reasons he should be fired.

Remember Tristan is a Blazer. And a hero at that. Not just for his military service, but for what he did on December 1, 2014.

The regime wants all of these people gone.

If he lied to fans and boosters and it is true, then everyone needs to put him on blast. His actions need consequences

Update. Tristen is out but Sione is not taking his place. Not sure what Sione's position is at this point.

Yes, they all should be fired.

mopping the floors???

any update on list of candidates for DC or is it the usual all quiet on the front as you won't like the news your going to get

Can’t imagine it’d be a guy with experience as a coordinator. Probably position coaches or guys clinging to the profession thru grad assistant roles
