WT Football

GD it… I came here for the women’s sports updates and instead find doggy talk :(

Here you go.

Lady Buff BB did a tune-up scrimmage this morning with refs. Coach has been bringing in a team of WT guys to play the girls on a regular basis. The guys are all about 6' and talented. One guy his 9 treys in the 1st half. I had to leave at half-time and the guys were ahead 52-50. Coach told me girls lost by 8.

Lady Buff BB will be at least a Sweet 16 team. Maybe much better. They play an exhibition game in Tucson Wed against U of Arizona. Then the 31st against Oklahoma. I'm going to Tuscon for the game on the 25th.

We have BCs, Aussies, and a lab. The herding dogs definitely need a job.

Aussies would eat the rabbit and the turtle, then head butt the players until they started winning.

Yeah, for sure. Our first Sheltie was the smartest. You could just see the gears churning in his eyes. One of the coolest things my son taught was his "toys." He had about 15 plush toys all with their own name. You could toss them around the house and say 'Go get the bear." He'd search the bear out and bring it to you. Once you had all the toys back with you......we had a basket on the fireplace ledge where his toys were kept.....and we'd say "Go put your toys up" and he'd take them one by one and drop them in the basket. He'd play fetch till you'd give up, catch frisbees till his teeth bled. then turn to the next person to continue. Really cool dog. Too active for us now. I'm 71. Had dogs and cats since I was born. No animals now.

I need a new cat, a Bombay. My wife says "no more animals."

Still gotta prove it. For sure. Don'thave a better know why I pulled out the Border Collie example. Do you a better one between a rabbit and turtle?

We're Sheltie people. We've had two. My son and daughter both have Shelties. However, our last dog (the Sheltie's companion) was a miniature American Eskimo-my wife's shadow. Sheltie died at 14 and was followed a year later by the Eskie at the same age. Sad times.

Like the Border Collie, Shelties need lot's of mental and physical stimulation. Smart, smart dogs. Always thinking.

"Border Collies sh!t in their own yards too! They develop problematic behaviours in households that are not able to provide for their needs. They are infamous for chewing holes in walls and furniture, and for destructive scraping and hole digging, due to boredom." - Just Sayin' 🤣🤣🤣

And you mean 6-1, I think.

We shall see what the future holds. You gotta prove it to me with WT after I bought all in last season. No more talk for me. SHOW ME.

I don't know 100% how Lynn is doing it or McCollugh for that matter.

I don't think either coach to my knowledge is overhauling the roster and selling their souls to the transfer portal.

If Don Carthel had the rules today and transfer portal access back then? Woah. LOL.

UTPB brought in a bunch of short-term hitters. SMART move!!

Lynn signed a huge class, PLUS 16 portal transfers (might be more). 13 on National signing Day snd 3 more after that I know of. That's a massive amount of portal players.

[ASUPops]

There are Rabbits and Turtles. I see Lynn as a Border Collie. Solid, dependable, and herding the Buffalos in the right direction.

A play here and a play there and WT is 5-1.

The funny thing is the new UNK coach is in the same boat, except he's trying to turn arguably the best option QB in America into a pocket passer to fit his system. He turned them instantly from contenders to what will likely be a 3 or 4 win team.

UNK fans are not thrilled.

[Buffalo/Islander Alum]

The point is a WINNER doesn't take long to WIN. You have decent coaches, good coaches and great coaches.

Look at McCollugh. Look at what Deion did at Jackson State. Look at what the Carthels did at WT and TAMUC.

Is Lynn THE MAN?

Time will tell.

But history IS relevant.

That's like Republicans talking today about Ronald Reagan. Irrelevant. Reagan's dead and Carthel ain't coming back. Move on.

WT still has Angelo State to play and Central Washington on the road.

This will be one of the seasons to see how WT finishes up at the end before making a judgement of how far away they are from legitimately competing for any type of championship and/or playoff spot.

Except for the first game of the season (and they get a pass on that) they haven't been blown out.

Its a matter of getting that first close win closing one out to officially turn the tide and Hughes chapter.

If they finish the season 5-5 I will consider that a move in the right direction.

They’re a good team. Going to be tough to get to 5-5. Pulling for them against CWU but the long haul road games are tough and I would say CWU has one of the best home field advantages with their band and crowd.

Going with the true freshman QB over the 3rd year sophomore was the primary reason for disappointing year.

What have you been watching? Brown wasn't getting it done. Kanon's a much better fit for the offense. Lynn made the right decision.

[UTPBFalcons1]

Going with the true freshman QB over the 3rd year sophomore was the primary reason for disappointing year.

That freshman is probably the reason you guys even won 3 games. He is throwing 70% and running for 4.6 a carry. He's actually pretty good. UTPB couldn't stop him and they are stopping everyone. The 3rd year sophomore is completing under 40% of passes.
