I am not sure if was by luck or by choice, but the Saints seemed to get it right with getting Kellen Moore over Aaron Glenn.

This team has steadily improved and been competitive now in 4/5 games they have played, and very easily could be 3-2 if we would've closed drives late in games.

With a rookie HC, you would like to see the team fixing mistakes and being at least competitive while losing because we all know that is the most likely scenario. Kellen Moore has the young guys playing well and the team being tough and focused each game. Very excited to see what the rest of the season and the future holds.

We are winless because there's not a single position on this team that's above average.

And yet nothing changes the fact that this team in 3/4 games had drives in 4th quarter to take lead.

While I do agree the roster needs a lot of work, Rattler could have gone and won the football game. He didn't, and therefore no matter how you slice the cake, he is the #1 problem. Because while everyone complains about every other position, if our QB (THE MOST IMPORTANT POSITION PLAYER ON ANY TEAM) was even slightly better, this team could be .500.

And while many of you, including myself, want this team to have a good draft pick. I'd prefer the team win. And when you have legit chances to win and are being held back very clearly by one player, it is the biggest problem.

Additionally, I am not saying Shough is the answer, but Rattler is not good enough and it is clear as day.

Does that make some of you feel better?

Honestly, yes it does. This team can quickly turn to sell mode and get rid of guys like Zion/Herb at deadline if things go south and now have the ability to free up room in summer and build around Fears/Queen/Maybe Trey?

We are not in a terrible spot at the moment. Many directions this thing can go. Only issue is Weaver/Dumars in the drivers seat...

I'm very certain this will be downvoted and I do understand all of the skepticism that is coming his way after last night.

BUT

Listening to his presser last night impressed me. There is an actual message and communication being delivered from the front office. Something that I have not heard or believed for years with Griffin. Dumars is taking swings to mix things up and get guys who are polarizing and attacking players as he described. Will it work? Who knows and we are trained to believe it won't with how much we have been in the mud for years as fans.

We also were upset with the Dumars hire and rightfully so, it was chalk and there was no hiring process done by Gayle from what it seemed. However, somehow ignoring all of the noise, when I actually just sit and listen to JD, I come away impressed every time and I like him. I know people inside the organization (sales and ticket related) who say it is night and day better in there with the new leadership around. Take it for you will, but I am going to try and be positive about everything and let it play out.

As for the trade, yes that is a crazy and almost neglegent thing to do. But we will not know until we see what Queen becomes. Additionally, if things blow up again this year, one of Zion/Herb/Trey will most certainly be traded. That trade will probably net a 1st back for 2026 you would think. Not talking myself into the trade, but also looking at the bigger picture for what this FO may be doing.

Take over. Let's hope to new luck and positive vibes again this season.

This has got to be the worst color commentator I have ever heard. Poor guy seems shy and doesn’t have a clue what to say or add to the play by play. Makes you grateful for the guys we have game in and game out.

With X being down, I have realized how much of a habit I have of just clicking the app and mindlessly scrolling for information and sports news... but I can't stop trying to open the app even though I know it is down.

Any of you all struggled with relying to much on an app or limiting your usage?? X is where I typically get most of my news and live information so not really looking to delete it but god damn I got an addiction.

Absolutely ridiculous that this shite happens every time with D1 Baseball. The Astros were literally streaming the games for free with the games this weekend in Houston. Kendall should get hosed for this shite.

Interesting all these UT fans taking this high ground like they aren’t just as much of frauds as the Aggies

Bunch of Walmart fans

I'm of the opinion that this hire is meaningless.

The reality is this is a 2-3 year hire. We are one year away from contracts getting off the books and the ability to make signings while finally being cap compliant.

So no, this hire is not meaningless. If you get Kellen Moore and can use this year as a bridge year to get his scheme, philosophy, and coaches in the door, hopefully you can compete and start bringing more players in, in 2026 when you have the cap.

Dude relax you aren’t on the fricking team. We as fans can talk rooting interests that favor our team here. This mindset is so ridiculous

Guess you can't read the rest of the post. You must be pretty intelligent.
