Strange that LaTech had a bye week so early? NC State this weekend.

There are 14 weeks between Labor Day and Thanksgiving this year so most teams will take 2 bye weeks.

GJ might have been a good answer but some of those people that are clamoring about him now would have been the first to say “OMG why did we hire another former player” after our first loss or a major setback! Some meaning the usual suspects.

Yeah and they already have Nil funds for football at Texas St. The academics aren't nearly as difficult there either. Everybody is so quick to insert such and such into the 'why didn't we hire him' slot. They picked up a bunch of juco, and some of them wouldn't have been a good academic fit here. They don't even think about the differences between programs.

I hope everything is ok with TUme. He retired several years ago and no longer seems to be active here. I met him once at an event and he was a really good fan.

He last posted end of June 2022. About 95% of his posts the last two years were on crossfire. It seems like I remember him taking a month or two off of posting on crossfire during that last year. Somebody,(might have even been me) wondered about him on crossfire after a while, and he eventually chimed in that he was fine. Not that, that says anything about him now. But it at least shows he just lost interest before he did actually leave for longer.

Good thing we're not playing at Southern Miss or you could complete the voodoo triangle. Weird things happen in these places on Saturday nights, expect more of the same in Ruston. At least we have won there once.

Probably wouldn’t go to Southern Miss 😂
I was on an away game winking streak after Northern Illinois last year and plan to get back on it in Ruston and Philadelphia !

The last time he posted was about 2 years ago, and he posted almost exclusively on the Crossfire for a couple of years. Had to have been 2020 or before, that he posted on the sports boards regularly.

He posted during the 1999-2000 seasons for sure TUme.

I think most here figured kinne would be the better hire, not sure what the appeal was to go the other direction, but unfortunately, he'll have better offers out there at this point. But I'll be rooting him on wherever he goes

I would venture to say that there was no doubt Kevin Wilson was going to get kids to class and that they were going to make measurable academic progress under his leadership as an older more rigid coach. Where Monty left the program academically was GD embarrassing. Our APR (I believe that's correct) was in the 10-20th percentile rank within the sport and within the 1-10th percentile rank in all sports, well below all of those schools we look down our nose at.

To me it was determined that this had to be fixed, and rightfully so. He did that in short order... The hope I'm sure was that he would be able to win as well, which is to be determined, but he's recruiting well and there are positives that are observable. Hopefully, many more sooner rather than later...

Those two were likely too scarred from the effects of inbreeding to be anything but, as the say in the south "bless their little hearts"...
