Just sub out Morris and have a package for QB sneak under center. Feel like that's going to be where we lost the game.

Look at the games on ESPNU in that time slot in the weeks before, it's just a channel no one checks for. Hopefully we draw more eyeballs tomorrow morning. Week 7- Marshall/Georgia Southern 7 PM- 15k Week 6- JMU/ULM 6 PM - 42k Week 5- MTSU/Memphis 630 PM - 39k

I am an idiot I will never doubt Coach Morris again we are 5 and f’ing 1 go mean green

Every single time hope springs eternal, we start thinking about a 5-1 start with a win on national TV it never fails, we will shit the bed in embarrassing fashion. We have beat 4 awful teams, we pay these coaches entirely too much for this kind of a performance.

I still think we are going to win 8 games but have a really bad feeling about this one, hope I’m wrong. GMG

Agreed that was awful, they used to have cheerleaders on each side with north and Texas signs to start it that’s way better.

If it’s true that after two big wins he wanted more money this kid is shameful. However coaches are scumbags and promise anything and everything and players are committing because of it. It has lead to so so so many players getting screwed. I’ll be vague but I know this for fact, one school got a huge NIL commitment from a company, promised high profile transfers the world then they’re two weeks in to fall camp and the NIL deal is so new the funds aren’t there yet, no one has been paid and even worse coaches lied to certain transfers and did not put them on scholarship leaving them to pay for classes on their own out of NIL $ they don’t have so they could use those spots on signing 5-10 extra freshman. This has become a dirty, dirty game from both sides. Everything outside of the games days themselves sucks now.

She asked if I could handle her and her friend I said don’t worry I -

I believe I saw a tweet from JD that said at least one of them is no longer with the team. If it's really just trespassing I have no idea why they aren't on the field there has to be more to it. I wouldn't count on seeing any of them play this season. On that note still no Gabe Blair, who is probably our best offensive lineman. I am wondering if we will see him at all this year.

“North Texas defensive coordinator Matt Caponi’s base salary was $475,000, which made him the highest-paid assistant coach in the Group of Five last year, according to USA Today.“ We can’t even throw money at the problem correctly. What on earth did the guy do to deserve this salary?

That dampers my enthusiasm for this game quite a bit, wouldn't be surprised to see him go for 200+ but hopefully we score enough to keep up. Tech has had two awful performances I bet they bounce back in a big way today, won't change my opinion that we are still going to win 8 games this year, GMG!

I agree, Larry Moore has played great but he’s the only one who’s stood out to me. Febechi may be a pro one day, those guys are sorely missed.

Howard Sampson starts at North Carolina, Ethan Miner starts at Miss State, and Febechi Nwewu starts at OU let's not forget about them. At this point, it's a year to year league and you can't fault any player who leaves. The ONLY part about the transfer portal I don't like is when a player goes from small school to big school and then gets drafted the new school gets credit. There are certain G5 schools that have a reputation for having guys drafted almost every year, La Tech comes to mind I imagine those days are over. Both schools should be listed in my opinion, the inability to points to players in the pros from your school hurts G5 recruiting even more.

The defense has played amazing all things considered, we've thrown a pick six, had two other turnovers and tons of penalties. We are going to win and no one is going to remember this game 3 weeks from now, stay positive people. GMG!

I hope that's the worst half we play all season, that was bad. At least we are choosing to show our worst in a non conference game we will likely still win, this will be a good thing to learn from. GMG onward to 2-0, no matter how ugly.

The negativity seeped in to me at halftime but I will remain positive until given a reason not to be. Morris is the real deal, we have multiple playmakers, defense be damned this is a bowl team at minimum. GMG!

We have given up 2 touchdowns, 99 yards rushing on 17 carries that's 5.8 YPC and multiple explosive pass plays this is a carbon copy of last season, exact same.

I am letting go of all negativity. There's 70 new players what the hell do I know? There's lot of things that go in to making a good FBS coach, only recently has how well does your team gel in one off season to the next vaulted to near the top, maybe Morris is one of the best at that. GMG! Expecting a win today.

I personally think it's hilarious that you guys will willingly pay a quarter of a billion dollars to f*** yourself out of a playoff spot. There is a better chance of us miraculously having an 11 win season and making the playoffs than SMU being near the top of the ACC. #CJK5H.. It truly is pay to play over there in every sense you guys really are the biggest tricks in college football, the new Vanderbilt of the ACC, every P4 fans new favorite delusional punching bag. That was a masterclass performance in blowing a game. Players scared, coach bewildered, huge inexplicable passing plays on a shell shocked defense that reminded me of so many UNT games I've watched over the last 8 years.

It's possible we win 8 games at our ceiling, sure, but there is no dimension that exists where we get there giving up only 17.5 PPG, that I just can't wrap my head around.

These are unlockable ultimate team players you can get in a pack you have to pay for. JaDeveon Clowney is also an 87 there are only 13 players rated higher than 87 (highest being 90) none of which are DL to this date in ultimate team mode it's not really a slight to him at all.

I am pessimistic about the season. Morris will be great at QB, running backs are a dime a dozen, as long as they aren't fumbling we're fine there. WR has a handful of guys who are pretty good proven players, none are Darden or Maclin, if Sheffield or J. Aaron contribute we're in decent shape. I remain extremely high on Hammond, I believe he will be one and done and move on to a P4 after this season he can play. It's a whole lot of unproven players behind him at TE. OL has a couple guys who are really good with tons of snaps in Blair and Duncan, some questions marks in the other spots. Coach Morris is a good to great playcaller, all this considered I think this offense can score 30 PPG if healthy and is our only shot at being over .500 I'm so lost as to how they shaped the defensive side of the ball after last season. We have entirely too many safeties too few cornerbacks and only after striking out with many transfers did we sign a few portal DL that were left over after 120 FBS teams filled up. The only way I see them having success (which would be to be a top 80 unit, absolute ceiling) would be luck AKA turnovers like the 2018 Mean Green, but that team actually had talent at every position. We gave up 5.7 yards per carry and 37 touchdowns on the ground and we are more or less rolling out the same front six. We signed 4 DL portal players and 2 portal LB while losing Mazin Richards and Olobwede to Memphis that is just inexcusable to me. Unless 4 or 5 of these guys make the most insane jumps from one season to the next we will again be a bottom ten unit. As has been the case for the last five years this team is entirely too young as well, doubling down on bringing back the DC, and tripling down on signing too many high school players is beyond me. Despite what people think we have an easy schedule all things considered. Memphis is probably better than Texas Tech who most would say is our toughest game and we don't have to go through our annual dog walking against SMU. I just don't see how we win more than 4 games against that schedule which is sad. I will be at the games but man I just don't see it with this team unless like I said above the offense scores 30+ PPG and we get some lucky breaks defensively because the talent is not there.

We really signed 3 total defensive lineman out of the 24 transfers? Two of them were guys signed over the summer in true Littrell style. We have one of the highest paid G5 DC's and we are going to give up 35+ PPG easy.

That's a pretty wild defeatist attitude from your head coach. Kind of explains why they won't even try with a certain level of prospect. I've been saying it since last year, the sooner we start cutting the football budget to add to the basketball budget the better off we will be. That is the only sport we have a chance to be nationally relevant in. We didn't capitalize on the sun belt championships, we didn't capitalize on the new stadium, we didn't capitalize on the conference change, we were a middling or below average team in a bottom 2 conference for most of the last 20 years, that window has closed. It's forever go mean green, but the (albeit far-fetched) dream is over.
