Alabama-Huntsville (11/12/12)

Our D sounded terribly disorganized, and really no aspect of our game looks even average.

Anyone who watched that game vs Creighton had to know there was a chance we would lose this. It doesn't matter how big or athletic you are... You have to be able to put the ball in the hole or you won't win.

I understand not being able to hit a shot, but from the sound of it Al Huntville controls this game in all aspects. Mitchell better get a lot better or he could see millions going down the drain.

Haha. I'm so sorry guys, but all is left to do is laugh. I have wasted enough time cheering on for over-hyped teams. Moving on to better things. But this is a great way to lose fans. If the players play pathetically, fans will stop following. I'll always support UNT, but can't take much of this anger any longer.

Next game that matters is the championship game of Sun Belt tourney? Assuming we get there? This team has plenty of talent, and will be fun to watch once they get rolling, but we ain't getting an at large with that loss. Let's get some guys healthy and see what happens.

13 wins this season AT THE MOST, that's even if we get our crap together. My cube at work is COVERED in UNT junk, it's all coming down tomorrow.

All of the people who liked to rag on JJ every chance they got, and said we'd do do the same with just about anyone and better with most -- man up. First loss to a Division 2 school in 27 FREAKING years.

Sooo um. ouch.

Patton's 40/25/50 percent shooting numbers (and boards) at Grambling suddenly sound pretty good. What the Hell has happened to CJ?

I said it in the chat, but I want it officially time-stamped:

I've never been more embarrassed to be a North Texas athletics fan.

Double Bingo

I was extremely sad when we lost JJ. Never understood those who criticized him. I can guarantee this game would have been a W if he was still around...and don't get me wrong, I'm not saying TB is a bad coach, but JJ was the man and understood Mean Green BB better than anyone.

This season = FAIL

It is still early but this was embarrassing. It's hard for basketball players to get into a rhythm if the coach has instituted hockey style change ups. Just saying.

There's a lot of talent on this team.

And.........

it feels like Déjà Vu all over again

HA! I sure hope not. The return of the hair transplant surgeon's nightmare would not be a good thing.

Were you a North Texas athletics fan during the Todd Dodge era?

I was. Nothing embarrasses me anymore.

I think this is worse, in all honesty. Never has a NT team gotten so much publicity and hype on a national scale in the modern era (in any sport), only to completely embarrass itself this way and, once again, let everyone else say, "well, it's UNT, they've always sucked."

In Hockey you at least spend close to 60 seconds on the ice.

Exactly^. This is an embarrassment. Sports cursed.

I was.

Todd Dodge's tenure started when I moved to Connecticut. I sat in bars by myself watching the few nationally televised football games we got. I would bring my lap-top to Starbucks before I had internet in my house...or to parties and dinners and get togethers. I still managed to make it to at least 1 home game every year of the Todd Dodge era...and the brought a dozen people to the West Point game.

And I honestly don't really even like football all that much.

After tonight, I really don't give a damn what happens against Lamar.

Well, at least Trilli gave us green seats.

How quickly people forget that embarrassing ass kicking we suffered to UTA last year, where our all world coach suddenly looked like he had never coached a game in his life. And unlike the lucky out-of-towners/staters around here, the majority of us had to go to work in DFW with UTA, SMU, TCU, Texas, A&M, Houston, OU, Texas State and every other alumn in Texas the next morning and put up with the laughter all day.

Hang in there. We survived that one and will ride this one out too.

You did all that to watch the worst FBS program in the nation, but you're bailing on this basketball team in the second game of the year?

UT Arlington was a 24 win team that was a 2 point road loss away from sweeping their conference last year.

We lost to a non-D1 team for the first time in 27 years.

It's like comparing apples and a railroad spike hammered in the urethra.

UAH could end up beating K State tomorrow or winning the national championship later on. No one around here gives two flips about Alabama Huntsville or probably ever heard of them. Odds are if we get the usual coverage in the Star and DMN as we do get no one will even know, especially since it is still football season and this is Texas.

Good God.

Really? Use this terrible loss to "I told you JJ was great" everyone on here? Really?

He is gone. He left for a better job, he didn't get fired. We could have offered him more money, and he still would have left because that is the job he wanted. If you want to brag about a former coach's greatness, please take it to Tigerdroppings, where it is relevant.

Let's try and focus on the current problems, shall we?

Y'all sound like 5 years olds when you do this. "But, but, but, Jim did it so why can't I "
