Craven said "expected to follow" while Zenitz said "accepted the job." Speculation vs fact.

Was only able to watch the first half so limited observations. Santa Clara had very precise passing and was able to get lots of easy baskets because of this and were also good at finishing at the rim. UNT couldn't hit 3's so had difficulty getting easy shots inside like Santa Clara did. Santa Clara definitely looked like the better team the first half. UNT made a run the 2nd half but don't know what changed since I wasn't able to watch it. We seem to be slow getting going early in the games though. I hope we use this game as a basis for improving before conference play. Santa Clara was a much better team than others we have played so far this year.

Which overall group of players on this year's team had the largest positive impact on our season..our returning players, transfers coming in this year, or current freshmen? Please explain why you chose that group.

Not in favor of hiring Mac Brown as the HC, but perhaps as a mentor, consultant, analyst to assist Eric Morris next year.

Abbey Inn...not sure it was same location as Loophole though Zeke's was a hamburger joint behind Maple Street Hall in the late 60's....used to eat there every Sunday night when dorm cafeterias were closed

Nice start to the season. Big test will be the ITA Regionals in Ft. Worth. Traditionally toughest schools in Texas compete in this one and we will be able to compare where we stand in comparison. GMG

I don't know "Matt from A700" but I see him as one of the type of fans that you describe. He has taken time to arrange and gather groups of fans for games around the state and country. Some do podcasts. The Maniacs seem to be doing a good job of getting more students involved. Perhaps the answer to getting more fans is in more grass roots efforts like these. For us "old timers" it was the Mean Green Club that got us to be lifelong fans. Tailgating groups seem to have somewhat carried on that tradition. We need to find younger fans who have the energy, health, and understanding what their peers enjoy and have the Athletic Department cultivate them to help with this mission. Any of you "youngsters" to the challenge?

I was just thinking about Chandler Morris and a possible NFL career. If this is a desire on his part and he continues to have a good year and not get injured, I can see him declaring for the draft at the end of the year. Why risk having an injury or a lesser statistical year, whether at UNT or elsewhere due to NIL? I don't know how the scouts view his potential in the NFL, however, and I guess that is the biggest question.

Missed that play...thought they said he was out as an injured player

And without Ward and Sides playing in the game as well...strong showing by receivers

5 touchdown passes thrown to 5 different receivers...not bad!

Agree. These are the first teams I saw as a North Texas fan and are still the best IMO. Lots of pro players came out of that group! I can only hope to live long enough to see us get back to that level of play.

Was going the say the same thing. There are probably many who think we should be dropped. We need to take care of our own business...winning, attendance, financial support, etc., before we start talking about removing other schools. We still have a long way to go...GMG!

If you have not read the book "Mean Joe Greene: Built by Football," you might enjoy it. Goes all the way back to his time at Temple Dunbar High School.

I wasn't able to make it to the game but wondered what the turnout was like for the members of the football teams being honored. I saw the video of Johnny Quinn so I assume he was there. How many others? We need to do all we can to encourage support from former players. Where there special activities planned for this group?

Revisiting these points after win over Wyoming, increasing our record to 3-1. Let's keep the momentum going with a win against Tulsa...our first conference game! The AD needs to keep up the emphasis on attendance with another round of unique ideas. GMG!

Amen, Brother!

UNT 31 Wyoming 24

Stats just show why we have to win this game to have any credibility going forward.

Yes, I have been following UNT football for 50+ years and seen it many times, which is why this makes this game so critical. We have to change the perception to move forward and the only way to do that is to win these important games. This one is possible so we MUST take advantage of this opportunity.

It is my opinion that Saturday's game against Wyoming has become extremely critical to not only this season, but the immediate future for UNT football. This is how I see it: 1. Is the coaching staff capable of motivating players after such a humiliating loss? Can they come up with a game plan that will work against Wyoming? 2. Do we have players who possess the character to give their best effort every game and especially after such a big loss? 3. Will our fans show up to support the team after such a disastrous game against Texas Tech or will the attendance be minimal with only die hard fans attending? 4. Will the Athletic Department continue emphasizing attendance in unique ways even if we lose the game? I think we are at a crossroads. Another loss against a "name" school, especially at home, would spiral us downward in many areas despite a having a 2-2 record. The team would lose confidence in the coaches, recruiting and transfer portal prospects would look at us more negatively, fan support would diminish again, and the athletic department would have an even more difficult time selling our football program to prospective fans and donors. Also future conference opportunities would be damaged. There is a lot riding on this game. We MUST win on Saturday! GMG

Looks like UNT got a good tennis transfer from Texas A&M as Gianna Pielet, now with the Mean Green, was selected for this prestigious tournament...our last player was one of our best ever, Maria Kononova in 2018 Way to go, G!

Tomorrow is the last day to vote!

Can you vote more than once in this poll?

Oops...late at night and thinking of the last game I was able to attend in person...o.k. let's beat SFA and move to 2-0!
