Blue & Gold

Right. The team had to take a 2-week break because apparently someone on the team or staff tested positive (full disclosure: there was never an official announcement, so I'm just guessing). We were scheduled to compete in the Gulf Coast Classic but had to pull out. We're behind the curve now when it comes to MAC play & will have to catch up. Could be a rough start to conference play. Btw, why would the MAC schedule us to play Kent as our first game. Just kinda weird, no? Another btw, I'm glad we're going to get to play Toledo twice this year. Should be that way every year (and football).

You're absolutely spot on with your evaluation of Hamm & I agree. I'm just aggravated because offering him a PWO (Prefered Walk On) doesn't cost us a scholarship and could help build a relationship with the Hoban program. He'd likely never see the field at this level, but get him in here, make him a part of the team, let him have a great time and then let him help recruit Hoban for you. He's a leader and seems like a good kid and has a high football IQ. If Arth is trying to change the culture he seems like an influence you'd want on the team (again, especially if we could simply get him here as a walk-on). Terrell said in the postgame interview that Hamm would probably be coaching with him one day. A relationship with Hamm could have benefits for the next 20 years. So yeah, that's why I'm upset about it - because it appears Kent's head coach is thinking what I'm thinking and even if Arth does eventually offer a PWO, Kent beat us to the punch and has the inside track now (plus all the good will as those subtweets show).

Tweet yesterday from Kato's dad.

Anyone think maybe we should go with Kato? I don't want to ruin Gibson's confidence going forward... But we desperately need the W this week. Miami stuffed the box & was forcing Gibson to beat us & he wasn't very effective. At all. Maybe Kato could give us a shot in the arm? He is a senior, after all. Of course BUGS doesn't have the personal of Miami, so they may not be able to stuff our rushing attack anyway. Idk.

Absolutely. He's cool, calm & collected and can read a defense. During the postgame interview coach Terrell said one day Hamm will probably be coaching with him.

Shane doesn't have a D-1 arm. None the less, it ticks me off KSUcks beat us to the punch on this. Offering a PWO is a no-brainer; kid is a winner (career 53-3) from the #1 high school football factory in the state... which happens to be less than 5 minutes from campus. Uh, oh. I find myself getting aggravated with Coach Arth. I don't want that!!!!!!

Remind me, to opt out means you don't want to play this year, but you're not leaving the team?

I hate to say it. I don't think we're gonna win. Of course I've lost any shred of credibility I had as a prognosticator with my prediction last week that we'd beat Miami. So perhaps my pessimism is a good sign. Idk, but I think the guys spirits will be down. Plus, we're so accustomed to losing Idk if we can sustain 4 good quarters of football. I"m an Arth fan and supporter; I would have loved to have played for a coach with a demeanor and as consistently positive as Arth. But can Arth & Co. keep from losing the team through 2 straight winless seasons? I hope I'm wrong.

How badly is Buffalo gonna beat us?

Arth postgame presser Once again GT asks some good Q's.

And not a day too soon.

+1. Love both those rivalries. I hope Boals stays at OU for a long time & they continue to win. I also think we should stoke our natural rivalry with Toledo. Wish UT was in the East instead of BUGS.

Just curious whom this might be?

That was no fun. imma take a nap

About 3 hours ago I typed that I sincerely thought we could win today ?

UGH (and that’s being gracious)

Miami’s gonna force Gibson to beat them. Good call, Chuck.

Ugh. (and that’s being gracious)

Zero pressure on the QB

Gibson not looking good
