Do we care about the football season anymore?

Next up, New Hampshire, winnable, only if we can play a nearly error free game.

Wooden, not getting it done

Had surgery on both shoulders off season, Got beat up first two games.  Probably should not be playing at all right now

Say what you want.  Lost the entire Defense.................... the only returning starter got hurt in the first game.  Offense is loaded with youngsters - two starters on the line from last year are not playing yet.   Myles is a sophomore who did not play last year!   I could go on but what difference does it make.   Many of you guys are always looking for a reason to bad mouth so go for it.   I prefer to see positives.    Been in every game except for WV and Idaho.   Anyone who a lick about the game can see that!

Since you're so good at finding positives, finding me some positives about the Jets while you're at it. Could use some help there.

There is nothing positive about Gattuso or his team. Whose fault is it that we are so 'young'? Why didn't he restock the cupboard with more experienced transfers? Why are other teams able to rebuild via the portal (Idaho, Stony Brook) but Gattuso is not?

You say positives but all I see is excuses. Again. For a perennial loser. FIRE THE GUY ALREADY and stop carrying his water for him/enabling him.

What's the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. After 11 years, we know who Gattuso is. He's a guy who will have a good year every 3-4 years. He cannot sustain success. Time to move on.

As I’ve mentioned before, the current CAA is a shadow of its former self and about to get worse. With Richmond and Delaware leaving it’s not a pretty sight. William and Mary must be wondering what’s going on. UA should be a dominant team…one year out of 4 does not cut it. If the powers that be expect the fans and contributors to pony up for season tickets, GDAC and NIL, they’d better be ready to have a REAL short leash on FB and MBB. That’s how the game is played now, not with drinking buddy loyalty and blind tolerance of failure. I’m completely over the rah rah, root for the Alma mater BS. It’s a money game now.

IMHO It does NOT have to be. If University presidents {at least those outside the power 5 and maybe even with a few from with-in} would grow a collective set of ba//s and tell the ncaa we do not accept your nil penalty, refuse to pay athletes, and make reasonable transfer rule accommodations which do NOT involve total free agency.

Of course the reply is why would  University Presidents reject the "Massive" amount of money the ncaa and tournaments provide. I will tell you why:  NO BODY MAKES ANY MONEY ON COLLEGE SPORTS. And once what little revenue if any is left to support a "full' compliment of intercollegiate sports plus the added expense {or if you will, the revenue draining monies paid to few athletes across a minimal # of sports}; some low level account at WAZU U, is going to go to the president and say hey boss, this does not the fuç$ add up.🤑🤑

LOL!!! Who cares!!!! The only players on offense I hope stay are the 3 young running backs (Woodall, #23 and #32) the two young guys looked good yesterday. The QB Van something needs to stay as well. Let the rest of them leave. It was a 4 win season so who cares. The coaching staff will rebuild with the portal.

Not ridiculous.  The kid is unlikely to play at the FCS level unless it is a really bad lower league team such at the Pioneer League.  Fact was, he wasn't very good and didn't progress.   No shame in recognizing that and if I had to guess, he will transfer somewhere close to home and play D2 or D3 football.  He would excel in D3 and there are VERY good programs where he grew up.  

Zero doubt he saw the writing on the wall and maybe even heard from the Coaches that they would bring in competition and it would be Weber, a transfer, and Burkett going for it, with Burkett the likely third wheel. 

I'd expect a lot more transferring from a 4-7 team.

Sign of the times, good luck.  I just hope that he gets a degree so he can have the best life/career.

Won't be the first and hopefully not the last. Replace most of this team + the staff.

Four CAA teams made the FCS playoffs, Richmond, URI, Villanova, and UNH.  None got a 1st round bye.  Idaho did get a bye and the 8th seed.
