Gameday Thread (not sponsored by Guiness): TCU vs. UNC in Ireland!

[Bruce Berry]

Not a good showing for sure against a mediocre team. The entire Athletic Dept. is in over their heads except Avalos, Malcolm and one or two others and you can throw in the current Administration also who approved this trainwreck and wondering now as they ring their hands, "oh me, oh my."

Someone told me there was an apology from the athletic department on social media?

Well if that's true, ok but it also needs tp cpme from Pullin and the Chair of the Trustees. What Roach, Malcolm, Hyman, Franchoine, GP, CDC, and Vic built is going to collapse. Good momentum is so hard to build and takes time and a lot of effort and we have wasted it.

I have to go to the game on Thanksgiving and I’m already dreading it. After the [ Finebaum ] talking Sonny did towards them this offseason, they’ll hang a hundred on us.

If nobody finds it, they quite possibly scheissed that up too.

The thing I kept watching was the play action to Payne and Craig never pulled it out and ran. UNC was able to tee up on Payne because there was never a real threat of a QB run. I think if Craig had taken off and ran it would have opened a hell of a lot of wide open field. Especially that 4th down from the 5 that closed out the game. No need to throw a low percentage pass behind the receiver off the wrong foot. Should have tucked it and hit the pilon.

Just makes no sense at all that the QB never became part of the running game. Wonder what the logic was there? Whatever it was it took away a whole dimension for the offense that was sorely missing and made it easier to defend against us.

Didn't they describe Mr. Harvard as a "running QB"? Funny, that...

Is Avalos good? Defense has been competent but not great seems to me.

He seems a little better than the last guy. Problem is, the guy before that was top 5 all time. Our perspective is skewed.

To me he is ok. NC scored 1 TD and that is with us giving them more opportunities than normal with all those pejnalities and turnovers. We got much bigger problems imo than Avalos.

 

[Mean Purple]

That's why I stopped going over there. The nonstop propaganda from JC and everybody else over there is a damn beating. You're essentially paying to be brainwashed.

Well, they gotta do what they can to keep their press credentials.



Too soon?

Give Av credit. He kept them out of the endzone for a long time. Defense was not that bad.

Doubtful. Sonny will find a way to do just enough that we will be stuck with his [ Finebaum ] for another year.

If we average giving up 15 points/game from here on out,,,,,,,,,,give Avalos the raise not Sonny.

The difference between the two on the sideline is big. One is coaching his ass off and the other is looking for worms.

That's a good one.

NC only scored 5 points in 3 quarters and this is a much better team than our first game with them. HE is not out of the question to be our next HC.

Hard to replace a HOFer.

Giving up 15 point is not a problem, not scoring 30 is. We need 4 touchdowns per game in the Big 12. We averaged 30.7 points last year.

Yep but with this present set up basically impossible.

 

[This Ain't Chopped Liver]

So much for the big running QB; even Hoover would have run for that 2 yard first down. What the hell; it was right in front of him - clear running space for the first and more.

Instead he attempts a tricky touch pass over a defender.

And that is likely the play that decides the game.

The QB cost the Frogs the game on that ridiculous 4th and 2. He had the first down right In front of him with his legs. Makes me think that he doesn’t like to get hit and we won’t see much running from him - we know what Duggan would have done. It was the drive to win the game, so yes, at that point it comes down to one play - take the easy run for the likely win, or lose the game.

Yep, Duggan would have scored.........forget the first down, I'm going in.

If TCU does not show massive improvement over the next month, then Avalos should become interim HC.
Apparently, Bill Belichik only had two rules for the NC Players. 1 Look twice b4 crossing the street & DO NOT LOSE Your PASSPORT. The only rules related to TCU involved some 17 point diatribe that most of the player ignored and laughed at.
