This thread looks less silly with each passing week. I never thought it was silly, many did.
Reality is we can't afford to fire him.
Wicker should be gone NOW.
Lewis gone next season.

Somehow Bronco Mendehall got New Mexico to compete for a bowl with 5 new OLinemen, a new QB1 and a new RB1.
Yet, fans here wanna use that as a crutch for Lewis

Indeed, not a word from the administration as the team gets bum rushed to the bottom of the MWC and, in fact, the entire FBS world. |

I know he isn't going to be let go. But this hire is a miss. I was excited when he was hired, but I can admit I was wrong.
The team is getting worse.
"But he needs his own players" what players? He is probably going to lose two to three more in this class, our NIL is dismal and will get worse after squandering the excitement that comes with a new hire. If we had an exciting offense (like he promised), but struggled, there would be some hope, but instead we are infuriating boring and conservative. We are not getting players.

In regard to attendance, I remember attending many games during the Marshall Faulk era with huge crowds at the old stadium.
The team back then was exciting and even though they had many heartbreaking losses, people were into it and enjoyed going.
The difference was tickets were very affordable back then so everyone who wanted to could attend. Trying to turn into some high cost, bourgeois event was a terrible decision and has absolutely destroyed attendance.
If getting a new stadium meant raising the ticket prices to almost NFL Levels, I would have voted 100% to stick with the old stadium and affordable tickets.
They better figure it out quick or this program is going to sink further into irrelevancy.

Instead of crying after getting into this joke of a P12 conference, JD should be crying about his decision to hire Lewis.

They better figure it out quick or this program is going to sink further into irrelevancy. The ticket prices aren't the biggest problem. That's one of the smaller problems. The biggest problem is the quality of play on the field, and the excitement level of our team, which you addressed first. In the Marshall Faulk and Billy Blanton eras attendance was really good! The team was fun and exciting to watch. The games were must-see events. It hasn't been that way since Rashaad Penny left, and in between the Blanton and Penny eras there was some bad football. Yes, most of the Hoke/Long era was successful, and much of it was exciting, the end of the Rocky Long era was a disaster, entertainment wise, and the last couple years of the 2nd Hoke era were just as bad. I can see why Lewis was hired. Try to recreate that excitement of the 90's. But, at this point, Lewis doesn't seem to be the guy that can get that done. Maybe he can, but if next year is like this year he has to go. Bite the bullet and pay out the $4 Million. We can't afford to have a bad team for another 2 or 3 years. We're losing the support of the people in this city. Well, we've lost it, but winning it back gets harder and harder each year the team isn't good and the games aren't fun and exciting. |

No. The ticket, parking and food prices are the biggest problem. They have priced families, and any future fans out of the market for all this gucci $#!+. I’ll never go to a game again. It’s not even fun anymore regardless of the football record. |

I looked at the stats for last night.
UnLV: 26 first downs. 253 yards rushing, with 8 running backs. 262 yards passing. 4 penalties.
SDSU: 14 first downs. 107 yards rushing, 1 running back. 163 yards passing. And 9 penalties.
This team has not progressed one iota. We go Wickered.

The single bright spot early in the season, QB, has now regressed enough to match the team, and its coaching, which is in contention for last place in the country. |

If we had an exciting offense (like he promised), but struggled, there would be some hope, but instead we are infuriating boring and conservative. We are not getting players. We have no o-line. I would say it was decimated but that would be a massive understatement. Decimate means losing one out of ten and we have lost 60% of our starters and when some have played, they have played injured. Any of you see the graphic early in the game about departures (all to P4 teams) and injuries. When Williams came out, did you see the tape job on his foot and ankle. He may as well have been in a boot. We gave up two sacks and seven tackles for loss and God knows how many QB pressures or times Cooper was hit before reaching the LOS and still turned it into a gain. People complaining about running him up the middle which seems to mean inside the tackles, well when we tried running outside we lost yardage. On defense we gave up 515 yards and, once again, over 200 yards rushing. We knew coming in the d-line was a question. If you cannot win the LOS you are going to lose. We have 5 signed freshmen for the o-line coming in and I expect we will hit the portal hard at that position this season. |

If we don't have oline it's his fault. He knew what he signed up for. Made a lot of promises around the brand of football we would be seeing. We will get even less quality kids now. When he was hired, he had this coolness and optimism surrounding him. Now he's shown, that Deion was correct. He's a hack, and everyone sees it. We will have more transfers next year. Less NIL donations, a terrible recruiting class. Terrible transfers coming in. He took a team in shambles and somehow made it worse. But hey, he sure did talk a good game about putting an exciting product on the field lololol. Great time to ask for my season ticket renewal SDSU LOL.

Even if prices are the exact same as SDSU, the atmosphere is going to make SDSU games look like a local HS. 21 games each season, and they will build a big fan base and be a major competition to SDSU ticket Sales. |

Does SDSU really believe that they can renew season tickets as well as a game day tickets next year asking for P4 prices for a full stadium?

Correct? Do you follow recruiting and transfers? Yeah it is simple to go get good OL transfers? Every single college program is looking for OL and DL players. They are hard to get. It is the exact same thing as getting a good Center in the basketball transfer portal. SDSU has to get an another transfer RB, TE depth, whole offense line. If SDSU does get solid OL Schmidt will still make them mediocre. Also SDSU has to pray that the good players don’t transfer. Keep the commitment HS players which some have already left to other MW schools. |

What months will the MLS team be playing? Isn't their season in the Spring and Summer? Looking it up, their season is really long. I can't believe it runs from February to mid October for the regular season! That's too long. 8 months. |
