Yes. It’s the only way to the needed outcome.

5-1 to 5-6 is more than fireable. We need to quit wasting time. We’ve looked absolutely horrible in these losses too. Our special teams also need to be fully called out. Absolutely embarrassing effort there. How can we not find a serviceable kicker in the state of Texas???? Middle school kickers make 29 yarders with consistency.

That’s more like it! No need to drag our competitive basketball program down for comedy purposes.

Nah. Let’s go ahead and win both of these. We’ll have plenty more new iterations of inane arguments to get into as the season progresses.

Pretty horrible close to the game.

Rough shooting start for the Mean Green. 25% from the floor 😬

I’m saying after watching primarily bad North Texas football for going on 27 years, that I’m pretty confident we’re not building a championship calibre program here. I know he’s not going to be let go but I think we’re probably wasting our time and continuing to jade our fans. Would love to be wrong on this. And in the time of NIL/Transfer Portal mercenaries, I think you can make a change pretty much when you want and rebuild a roster. Again, we’re not gonna do it, but we could.

I’ll say this as well - There are people in my group of 20+ season ticket holders that have held them since 2003 questioning if they’ll renew next year because it’s not fun anymore. It feels hopeless after 20+ years. They’re just saying, I’ll keep supporting basketball because at least we have a real program and coaching staff that we can all believe in through wins and losses. No one believes in the football coaching staff - except Patrick Cobbs - who we might as well elevate to HC. He’s the only one that actually produces and legitimately gives a shit about UNT. This program’s situation is dire whether the AD realizes it or not.

People need to re-read this. At this point I’m of the opinion that Morris needs to go too. This firing is scapegoating a problem of his own making. We don’t play a championship calibre style of football in any of the 3 phases. Our special teams are flat out atrocious - I mentioned this early in the season as well. They just don’t get scrutinized because our focus is all on the historically disastrous defense we’ve fielded. We need to clean house. Caponi isn’t enough.

This was so embarrassing. From 5-1 to 5-5 is just unfathomable. And we’ve looked like garbage for most of these losses. I think I’m just over this experiment. I watched the recent Dan Campbell clip where he’s describing his team’s identity, and he references having put “Grit” on the wall as a constant reminder of who/what is at the core of the team’s identity. We completely lack grit. A very soft, sloppy, undisciplined team and program overall. What is North Texas’ program identity? The only thing we appear to excel at is finding new and creatively embarrassing ways to disappoint our fans.

This is a badge of honor not a swipe from Rothstein. Great to see us go on the road and beat a Big 10 team in a rock fight! We’re relentless and I love it.

Trust me. Most of us are well aware.

That and the defense caused 2 turnovers against a team that doesn’t turn the ball over. Our vaunted Top 5 offense scored 3 fn points! 3 red zone trips - turnover on downs with 1st and goal 6 inches from the goal line and two interceptions. An unimaginable disaster. Then factor in receivers dropping sure fire first downs, a beyond pedestrian run game we’re forcing with a 4th or 5th string running back and so on…the offense was a complete failure. In no reality is this specific game on the defense. Sorry.

What game did you watch??? Don’t think you’re gonna get much agreement in this week’s obligatory moral victory thread.

I mean it’s fine to be upset after this loss (I sure as hell am) and I know the dude is trolling, but what is he saying that’s legitimately wrong? If it makes it more palatable, I’ll say it. North Texas Football never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity. Seriously - What and when was the last really noteworthy thing the football program has accomplished? The HOD Bowl win in 2013? That was a decade and 2 coaching staffs ago. 5 largest crowds in DATCU history, UNT record 0-5. It’s so tiresome. Our diehard fanbase deserves better than this.

I mean, he’s right. Our football program never fails to disappoint. It’s maddening.

The absolutely did not bring more fans than us. Wasn’t even close. Just stop. It was a nice away crowd contingent just like last time they came to Denton. Love being in a league with them. Tailgate was lively and fun with their fans.

They absolutely were today. Especially given what we all expected. This loss is on Eric and Chandler Morris. If you can’t see that there’s no helping you.

Loss is 100% on the Morris’. Worst game Eric Morris has called by a mile. The offensive game plan and execution flat out sucked. Wasted a really great defensive effort as weird as that is to say. I came in thinking our defense was about to get railroaded, and to my surprise they held up and kept Daily in check by and large. Hats off to Caponi and crew. I was shocked. 3 pts is a complete joke. Most frustrated I’ve been with a loss in a long time. Just awful. Massive opportunity blown AGAIN in front of a great crowd. I’m tired of this movie. Seen it too many times.

No excuses. Get the W. Should be a huge crowd today. Can’t afford another letdown in front of top 10 all time attendance.

Rough start. They’re playing with energy and grit while we’re going through the motions. We need to pick it up.

Really encouraging start. Like the multiple offensive threats. Good spacing and pace. Still active and tenacious on the defensive side. Looking like a fun team to follow this season.

I don’t know why anyone would think the game @ UTSA would be a layup. Records have never really mattered much in this series.

Our offensive line has big problems.

First: I want to be clear from my original response to you, I include you in the Mean Green masochist fans that I salute and value. I think you’re a great fan. To answer #2 for me: MGSF donations are philanthropic - at least to a significant degree. The idea of contributing scholarship money to kids going to college, many of those are first generation college students who are sacrificing to play football & other sports for our University, seems like a noble endeavor. I believe higher education changes lives. NIL in this unregulated hellscape feels like a gun barrel to fan’s heads. Give or else you’ve screwed your program into irrelevance. The intent of Name Image and Likeness was quickly bastardized by the sports power broker programs into simply “pay for play” with ZERO regulations, structure, and transparency. It took the greasy underbelly of college sports and simply put it out there for all to see…and worse being guilted into participating in. It all just feels so transactional and grimy.
