I'm glad we won. Rumors were floating around, that if we had lost Jared was going to fire Blaise Bentsen.

Woo hoo! I haven't been this excited since The West upset The East in the 1987 East-West Shrine Game.

Nice cap on a strong year for Brian Nelson II!

Yeah this broadcast doesn't know who Eric Morris is...

The silver lining - It’s clear that we’ve now progressed to the point as a program that literally none of our fans are excited about simply making a spare bowl game. So we got that goin for us.

Name the bowl eligible team you believe we will beat if matched up against them. Keep in mind the following: - Eric Morris has zero wins against teams that finished above .500 so the bowl game would require a first - Against Temple, we were just held scoreless for three quarters (minus 0:08 of the second quarter) and offense is this teams “strength” So, who do we match up with in a bowl that we have a shot at beating?

I'm so happy for our kids. Some of whom have never experienced the culture of a place....like Frisco.

Dub is a dub at the end of the day.

Damon Ward has regressed this season.

If you are stating that .500 teams should not go to bowl, I agree. However, if .500 are allowed in bowls, than NT absolutely deserves to be included.

There is definitely something wrong with CM. That pass was not even close.

It appears the camera crew was trained on offensive graduate assistant, Blaise Bentsen. It says a lot about how Morris has impacted the perception of our football program, when none of the announcers recognized that he wasn't actually our head coach. I wish the North Texas leadership would get serious about building UNT football into a real program that would be respected within the FBS landscape.

Why ELF ball will likely never win a championship. Leading 24-3 the Air Raid mindset can never take a moment and think conservatively, EVER, and consider giving the defense some help by keeping them off the field by sustaining drives. We ran off 11 seconds on the above possession. There’s no reason to stay up tempo here. None! And what happened instead? A play here, a play there and we leave 46/56 seconds for Temple to pull within 7 at the half giving a REALLY bad Temple team momentum they otherwise should never have. Rick

If we do go to The Frisco Bowl, The Athletic Department is already working on some travel packages. Which basically means, just getting us all an Uber.

My dude there are worse games every week in the MAC.

Credit to the defense for shutting them out in the 2nd half, even if they are a bad team.

We've blown leads like this before Give the boys time to let you down first before declaring bowling. I for one can't wait to see all 20 of you at the Frisco bowl to be blown out by someone like Sam houston

Being judged is the price of being a part of life. Rick

I hope the players get to play in a bowl but boy would it be beautiful for EM and the athletic department to be left out of a bowl after how they backed into a 6-6 record. Being held scoreless for basically 3 quarters to barely beat a 3-9 team on the final game of the season does not deserve praise.

Bowl Bound!

This is a bad North Texas team.

What spots? 29 yard field goals?

This is such a poorly coached team… penalties, turnovers, and game management.

Giving a few guys some rest and clearing the bench are two different things. We were up 17 against UNI with a couple minutes left in the first half and again early in the second half. Those are prime opportunities to sub in your 9th and 10th guys and give a couple of your main rotation guys a few minutes of rest. We actually had a double digit lead most of the second half against UNI. It was never really threatened. Edit to add it's kind of funny to suggest we were never in a position to clear the bench against UNI yet Utah State played 11 guys against us and 10 against St Bonaventure. Some get on for less than 10 minutes but I promise you a starter gets needed rest for those few minutes they get to sit. Maybe we should do as the top 30 team does?

Hard to blame the refs when we forced 16 turnovers and took 15 more shots. Just couldn't hit our shots. Sometimes you're cold. I'm going to agree with @UNTLiferwho said we should have played bench guys against UNI considering it was a blowout. Have to give your starters rest when you can, especially on the first of a back-to-back.

I just wanted to be the guy to start the thread.

Feel free to stop by the locker room and let these guys know. you don’t have to like how the season went (most don’t). You don’t have to think the coaches did the job that was expected of them (most don’t). But you can’t S on the players for achieving and celebrating a milestone, no matter how unworthy you think it might be. Be better.

I hate to say it, but we really don't deserve a bowl game.

I mean I am glad we won I guess. But it feels like a loss.

SEE YOU LATER TEMPLE!

Nice job Nelson!!

Because you are not new here

Well I see why Morris goes for it so much on 4th down instead of trying for the FG

I have 3 words: FIRE ERIC MORRIS!

Be careful calling it Elf Ball. There are guys on here having their menstrual cycle right now. Men have periods, too. Well at least at North Texas, they do.

Thank goodness! We found Eric!

Is Eric Morris even there?

I realize it’s Temple, but the defense is playing well. They’ve had 3 possessions start in our territory and only have 3 points to show for it.

CM shoulder ain't healed, convinced of it.

The reason we lost is because we had two Utah State game threads going..

21 fouls called on NT, versus 9 on Utah St. I think the refereeing was much in favor of USU in the second half. Discounting the stop the clock fouls in the last few minutes, the calls still seemed to me to be very tilted toward USU. USU's much slower bigs seemed to get by with a lot more pushing than the Green. I know losers often blame the refereeing, but sometimes there is merit to the allegation. Despite that, NT lost the game because of their inability to hit threes. This game should help NT continue to develop.

we're a very good basketball team. now...to sit back and watch the stream of bad sports opinions filter in over the next hour or so

I did articulate an opinion and you countered with your opinion. I am not asking that they all play together at once, but give them 5 or 6 minutes. Vice will score as much at Sissoko as and Cotton/Mason as much as Massey right now. Give them some experience in small bites and increase their minutes over time.

7/30 from 3 = 23% Shoot 9/30 and we're 7-1.

I agree. Injuries are bound to happen. They almost did tonight. They did last season. Utah State played without a starter tonight and last night due to food poisoning. You never know. We need more than 8 guys prepared to play effectively.

Wish I knew why Vice wasn’t getting a few minutes. Still would like to see Cotton and Mason more, but this wasn’t the game. Maybe playing them last night in the blowout would have saved some legs for today.

really wanted this one. A win could've been the juice we needed for T25 votes and better momentum for our future.

Our shooting is just bad tonight. We're forcing them into playing our game and not executing on the other end of the court.

Having to spell out your school name on the helmet screams "nobody knows us" and "small time"!
