  1. In 50 years we'll be watching robotic players play football because the public has deemed the sport is too dangerous for humans.
  2. Honestly, what we are missing is a billionaire donor. While we have a large alumni base, the majority donate $0 and we don't have enough big donors to make a significant impact. I hate seeing that school we made fun of for buying their way into a P5 now possibly buying their way into a playoff spot.
  3. Yep, and thanks. So, are MSU and UTSA the only 2 ranked opponents we’ve ever beaten? I can’t find a good resource for that info but did hear it announced during the Army game. If so, that’s even more pathetic than I first thought: one win was via forfeit and the other was against a startup program.
  4. Agreed. Similar case can be made for Simon, as he coached in the first few years of our return to D1 when half our games were body bag games. And the guys preceding him were playing D-2 schedules. But, the point is we are historically a really bad program no matter who is coaching, which conference, classification or stadium we’re playing in. Any time a UNT coach has success, we worry he will use as a stepping stone to a better program. We should be so lucky. Hugh Freeze, Mario Cristobal, Lane Kiffin are three former conference opponent coaches that immediately come to mind, now coaching P5 schools.
  5. Remember that in late April, when college basketball season is over and you're yearning for football again.
  6. You can replace Eric Morris' name with any of our coaches, dating back to 1978. Seth Littrell Dan McCarney Todd Dodge Darrell Dickey Matt Simon Corky Nelson Bob Tyler Jerry Moore Only Littrell and Moore had .500 records, all others were sub-.500. We haven't been ranked since 1977, which was also the year we beat a ranked opponent, #16 Mississippi State, by way of a forfeit. I believe we have one other win against a ranked opponent but I have no idea who or when...probably before my lifetime.
  7. We’ve only beaten two ranked opponents in the history of the program. Think about that for a minute.
  8. I hate being a North Texas football fan….
  9. Somewhere, George Dunham is cheering wildly for that punt.
  10. Looked like a missed face mask call too.
  11. It was and that was a critical play in this game. Instead of being up 10-7, we’re down 7-3 and Army will now drive 98 yards for a TD…using clock and tiring out the defense.
  12. Thank you. I can't imagine any TV deal for the teams being mentioned would be that impressive, but getting 50% of the AAC deal doesn't seem great either.
  13. 2 eyerolls and 2 down votes, but no answer to my question. Why does anyone think this would be a good move? According to Pete Thamel on ESPN, Tulane, Memphis and South Florida have already said they aren't interested. Why should we be?
