Happy Birthday to North Texas Football!
NorthTexan95 replied to TripleGrad's topic in Mean Green Football
We didn't lose, we just ran out of time. -
I think even if one of the seasons with Mason Fine had been an 11-1 or 12-0 season, it wouldn't have made a long term difference. We would not have enough alumni support to continue building off that.

IMO, the main issue is fan support. We have a very loyal core group with lots of fun things such as the canon, the Model T car, the "North Texas" chant ... but that core group is too small. Previous administrations spent decades tamping down any enthusiasm for sports at UNT, leaving it an after thought for many alumni. It would be much easier to recruit and high great coaches if we had 25k at each game and a community that really backed the teams. Suppose we had beat Navy, went on the beat Army, and finished the year with 10 wins. I don't think that would move the needle much for next year. It would be very difficult to have enough winning seasons to slowly build a winning tradition. Long story, short ... winning at football just isn't important to enough students and alumni. I will agree with others that having our own Boone Pickens would be a great benefit if they could give a lot and have patience. I just don't see that person walking through the door anytime soon.

I hear Smatresk is looking for a new job.

oops ... I feel asleep ...

I watched a little of the game. Bean is a very good quarterback when his receivers have a 10 yard cushion from any defender.
-
Good for both of those teams and their fans.
-
These days you just hope you get two years.

Army-Navy being a non-conference game is very awkward and could lead to some weird, unintended, and unfair consequences. We'll see.
-
Looking at the remaining schedule, we'll most likely have a .500 season. This is what I expected before the season and, imo, would be a successful first season.

The Last Time UNT Played Navy
NorthTexan95 replied to MeanGreenHistorian's topic in Mean Green Football
I was at that game. It was really exciting until Navy pulled away in the second half. Met a lot of great Navy guys and the flyover was awesome! -
Fun offense, bad defense ... sounds very, very familiar.

That's awesome!
-
The announcers this week were not very good ... but they were MUCH better than the guys last week.
-
Are we playing La Tech or 1980's New England Patriots?
-
Every ... single ... play ... you see our defense playing awful. Ends getting hooked, linemen pushed out of their lanes, line backers filling incorrect lanes, missed tackles ... it looks horrible.
-
Rogers with an awesome block on that last run!
-
Looks like we switched back to a 3 man front on that last drive ... and immediately got run over.
