I am very well aware that there was a separate HOF event and at least one positive article written, but Q was covered in the game today for less than 10 seconds...the entire HOF part was maybe a minute. I admit that I was not in my seat for all of halftime so perhaps there was something recognizing him then and will retract this statement if I am mistaken. Assuming I am not, seems like a massively blown opportunity to spotlight a guy who might be the greatest player ever for us. Really baffling to me that this wasn't a huge and extremely widely publicized thing. I met Q while tailgating and he was with a few guys...played catch with my son, spent a ton of time with us...but he was not properly exalted the way he deserves to be.

I somewhat agree. To be honest, I’m not sure what could have been done at any part of this season that would’ve felt adequate.
I had the exact same sentiment on senior night when he played his last game to a stadium peppered with a few fans. We came up short. Hopefully, when the stadium opens in a few years, they can honor all of the HoF again.

All 3 Hall of Fame inductees were on the field and recognized during a TV timeout in the first quarter, so I am assuming that is when you meant?

We, STM's, are getting a Q bobblehead our last game ..... which was a brilliant move to get people there for our, hopefully, final infestation.

Yes...really disappointing to squeeze something so important into a TV timeout.

  • Quotes

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
