Sorry, no link, gotta find it yourself. Actually go to www.dentonrc.com. I think they have a better story.

Don't be shocked if that scenario happens. We talked about it on the podcast.

oh yeah, did you see where Steve Roberts called us a "great team". this coaching coziness drives me crazy.

It's still interesting. How low do you go before the coach has to go? Some Florida State boosters are trying to get Bowden to retire. Joe Pa had some bad years before bouncing back a bit. However Bunting at UNC got a couple of good wins to save his job and then everything fell apart. The thing with Dickey is that it's just so much more than wins and losses.

I hear what you are saying and it's a valid point. And I do believe that all teams go through cycles so us or Fresno having an off season is going to happen. However, this is our second bad season and it doesn't look like (i hope i'm wrong) we have the talent to get out of this cycle. It's one thing for things to fall apart one year or be real young and have a down year, it's another thing for the program to be sliding backwards like we have for three years. I don't know what catagory of that FSU fits in. I would personally think they would be crazy to get rid of Hill but that's just me. It's an interesting point but I don't think you could compare the situations as being equal. Not until Hill has a second horrible year. Plus Hill has many more winning seasons, bowl victories, and non conference victories. Not to mention I doubt Hill is the public persona that Dickey is. At least non when I've seen him interviewed.

Excellent description

Was that the old SID? (rim shot)

It's the same list week after week. Good teams, hell decent teams can overcome those mistakes. Who plays perfect every week? Special teams fumble cost us 3 points. Not a back breaker. Meager never should have thrown that ball, then again, we shouldn't have two receivers running 30yds downfield on a makeable third down. He's only dealing with the options given him. Penalties are hurting us, the inability to move the chains is killing us.

find out? we already know we need a top rated QB recruit. we've needed one since 1994

I predicted 27-17 ASU. I apologize for having such faith in our offense.

Yep, on that drive in the first quarter we made no attempt to go for the touchdown. Third down and 5 and we were going to run a QB option before the play got flagged. 3rd and 10? We run the ball. In the third when we had 3rd and 17? instead of trying to get about 8-12 yards and put us in field goal range to cut the lead to three, we heave it downfield and it gets picked off. But what is really stupid about that play was even though Meager chunked the ball downfield, another UNT receiver had run a pattern even FURTHER downfield. Worst passing game i have ever seen.....EVER.

Since every college football PA guy in America does it, i'm not sure who ripped it off from. Good game, we deserve what we got.

We played a team almost exactly like us tonight. They let their qb run and try to make plays. We let our qb throw 2 yd passes or heave it down the field. In the end though, why am i surprised? I predicted this all week.

Kragthorpe shows confidence in his team with his game decisions. He goes for it in the red zone, we duck and cover. Plus, I seriously doubt Kragthorpe would say his team would have "to be lucky" to beat a average I-AA team. Dickey did. 1994.....enough said.

Gotta root for ULaLa. I'm hoping they are undefeated in Belt play until we go down there. I wanna see a game down there with a crowd. Of course I want to send them home disappointed.

harsh......but funny.

get well soon coach. not to complain but is there any place we can send a get well to him directly. didn't see anything on the web site.

Alabama, Tech, CSU? No. When we played those teams they had an distinct talent advantage. Did we have the talent to beat Kansas, TCU, Arizona, and USM when we played them? Yes. By using that standard, the victories over Tech shouldn't count. 1998 Houston, Kansas 1999: UNLV, Baylor, TCU 2000: Baylor, UNLV, Samford, UL-Lafayette 2001: TCU, SOuth Florida, Troy St, 2002: Nicholls St., TCU, Arizona, South Florida, Cincy 2003: Baylor, Air Force, Troy St., Memphis 2004: Florida Atl., Baylor, Southern Miss. 2005: Tulsa, La Tech 2006: SMU, Tulsa, AKro Unless I'm wrong, in games we could've won we are 7-22. And 16 of those losses were by double digits. Again my math may be slightly off. Out of those games I think 9 teams had winning records. 9 out of 29. Hell just use the years we were conference champs 2001-2004, Dickey's best teams. We were 4-11 with one win against Nichols State. and 2-9 against non-BCS schools. yeah, i know too much info but the point is we should've won some of those games.

For that to happen you have to believe that 1) The players to make that happen are on the team right now 2) This coaching staff we have now can recruit to make that happen You think we will be better than the 2003 or 2004 team? You realise how good those defenses were? Sorry but this team isn't even close. The stars aligned for us to get some of those players and I just don't see that happening again. Add to that the FACT that we have never been even an average offensive team and i don't see how we get back to that level, much less rise above it. Jones, Buckles, Hurd, Casey, Pruitt, Kennedy, Awasome, Daniels, McGee, Spencer and more that i'm forgetting......... Sorry you missed 2003, because that's the best it's going to be for a while. And honestly it should've been better. A lot better.

yeah, you gotta hand it to the coach. throwing the ball after being down 33-7 is genius.

they went totally conservative in the second half. no reason to believe we stop them if they don't take the foot off the gas. yay, we won the second half!!!

if you guys are satisfied with that performance, i don't know what to say. we were never in the game. wow, we moved the ball sometimes after they had a 33-7 lead. no imagination inside the red zone. again. rob

yeah, i have noticed i have a really boring radio voice. i'll try and be better next time. believe me, if we would have done this Sat night i would have ranted like a madman.

By the way, in that game we beat Idaho 10-0 the wind was blowing and we only threw 11 passes or so. Coincidence? I think not.

What i would like to see are some actual ideas that UNT could implement based on our situation, history, and culture. I think that would be more productive then the pasting of random articles and people going "we should do this". We are where we are, now what do we do.
