Not just bowl eligible. They beat WKU next week and they will be in Lynchburg playing for the champ.
Could have won on last play of game = competed
My 30-1 NMSU CUSA Champions bet starting to look a little juicy
No. Time for Stock to resign in order to help our program. Our AD is too good of friends with him to fire him. I'm ready to move on.

NMSU was not that good as I predicted but we were worse. Oh well, one less season of CorpseStill. We can be happy about that I guess.
"I gotta do a better job"
No. No you don't. You'll be 66 in December. RESIGN. RETIRE. Just leave.

We are a glorified JUCO. He, along with any other player, will be gone if they get a meaningful offer to play somewhere else.
Not mad at CRS. It’s McPhee and Massaro where the fault for all of this BS lies.
social media. everything. put on the pressure
6 people wear R-E-T-I-R-E on shirts the next game ... they wont be able to miss you with the 500 people that will be there.
I'm not saying be SJW but dern if this dude has no pressure.
Wouldn't be surprised if they lower his win count to 4 with a new contract.

That's my thought. You can say Stock should retire on his own blah blah. Have some pride in the program, etc. But he is doing what has been laid out as his expectations. Period.
This is on the admin for setting the bar low, not holding him accountable, nor his staff, not demanding excellence.
There should be some major staff changes forced but honestly at worst I'm expecting shuffling. Polly should be fired at a minimum but we all know he won't be.
You can add Steve Smith to that. There's absolutely no oversight from the board. That contract should've been grounds for firing the whole lot of them.
That was awful to watch. Reminded me of two high school teams battling for next to last place.
I hope the entire team enters the transfer portal.

Sometimes things have to get worse before they get better. Sometimes a lot worse.
This is unfortunately going to be one of those situations.

So we are sitting at 2-7 with an 18th year head coach in a revamped and albeit weakened conference.
Jax, a first year FBS team with a 2nd year coach is at 7-3.
NMSU is a perennial bottom dweller then comes in its first year with a 2nd year coach and is one win away from the champ game.
Liberty comes in in its first year with a 1st year coach and 14 transfers, including a new QB, and has a legitimate chance to win out and play in a NY6 bowl now that Air Force lost.
We lost to them all. Not to mention our coach is
* 3 of last 5 are losing seasons
* 24-34 since his only champ game appearance in 11 tries (SBC had no champ game)
* 6-10 against WKU, 0-5 last five.
* 2-7 against Troy
* 24-51 vs G5 +.500...so far this year.
132 other schools would move on from that.

You would've thought that old rick and his geriatric staff would have recruited better in the wake of two back to back bowl seasons and worked the portal like crazy to shore up the weaknesses of this squad, but no it appears there was no incentive for them, no fear for their jobs, no sense of urgency, no ambition for improvement. Won't hold it against any of the players if they hit the portal but for a few exceptions, I can't imagine there will be much demand for them.
The way Nick runs for his life, if Polly isn't fired I would not be at all surprised to see him enter the portal. He deserves better.
if I was him I'd tell Stock to choose: Me or Polly & Mallory (Both need to go)
It's absolutely pathetic to see these OL coaches still employed
And you forgot one thing. Inexplicably this individual is still owed over $5.5 million dollars and has six years left on his contract.
So don’t forget that in all the failure when comparing him to those other coaches. None of whom has their contracts longer than Stockstill’s in spite only being their first or second year.
That right there is the saving grace of this season. No extension. And the fact that we are celebrating that says it all.
I actually don't think the conference was weakened with the new additions. NMSU, JAX and Liberty are all winning. UAB, UNT, Charlotte, Rice and FAU are all losing in the AAC. With the exception of UAB, they were the reasons CUSA was as weak as it was. Getting rid of them and getting those 3 was actually the best we could have hoped for. Sam Houston has dissapointed but hell, we used to have 5 teams that did every year.
However, us having an 18 year coach with that kind of showing is utter nonsense. Unacceptable on every level.
When the three losers are gone I’ll be back. It’s a total continued Dumpster fire for the football program.
All good points, especially regarding Charlotte and Rice.
My point was the last 6 years of champions left. Sad too that even Rice won a championship since Stock has been here. They won our first year in CUSA.
And in the SBC, So Miss is back to their old CUSA deadweight form with a 2-7 record, ODU is still mediocre at best, Marshall is having a blah year. All 3 are in the bottom 4
This has to be one of the worst performances by a Div. 1 college level athletics administration (if not THE worst) in college football history.
Good effort, we played hard…… loser talk enough of prick suckstill
