There is no accountability, from the coaching hires to the AD to the school board to the president. They are all doing the bare minimum and expecting to be commended for it the same way they have for as long as UNT has been a school. I'm not ready to turn on Mac, I think we're struggling because there are so many young guys out there and the class of 2011 had a lot of attrition (the class he had two months to sign after being hired) . I know everything falls on him but at the same time Canales is responsible for the quarterbacks specifically and he simply has not been able to get a decent player on campus in 5 years now. I think Canales will be sent packing after this year and I don't have a problem with it. What I do have a problem with is what Billysee mentioned above, those records are awful for an AD. At this point the only thing you can point to in RV's tenure as a great success is getting the AC & stadium built, and the latter only broke ground thanks to the student fee.

We have been outscored in 5 1/2 quarters of conference games 70-7. Two conference games against teams who did not make bowls last season.

The 2011/2012 recruiting classes have not given us the needed production. A lot of the guys we signed out of high school in those years have flamed out and the only JUCO player who contributed was TE Andrew Power (JUCO recruiting has been way more miss than hit) 2011 OL Grant Shaw WR Chaz Simpson LB Michael Stok CB Jamone Greer DT Terrell Brooks JUCO QB Brent Osborn S Kerry Swarn JUCO CB Deleon McCord 2012 OL Boone Feldt S David Busby JUCO CB DQ Johnson WR Nick Schrapps DE Brad Horton CB Xavier Kelly S Devante Davis LB Dustin Clark

If we lose today it will take winning 5 of our remaining 7 conference games to make a bowl game. At this point I'm not sure we're capable of that.

Lance was supposed to get some of those carries. There was article after article this summer about how Linehan was planning to use Lance similarly to how he used Reggie Bush in Detroit. The big difference here is that Detroit had Joquie Bell (an average to above average player) as the other RB and we have a pro bowler who needs 20 carries a game as the key cog. I like that their using Lance in the passing game he is winning those matchups against linebackers on 3rd downs every time (if only Tony wouldn't throw the ball at his feet) . My guess is he will get some carries when Demarco starts showing some wear and tear as the season progresses.

Game over. We will be facing a tough opponent with a lively fanbase coming off an upset victory on the road over a top 25 SEC team. They have a pretty good QB who is 6'5 230 and a solid running game we will have our hands full.

I could be wrong but wasn't Conroy Hines calling plays when Canales was interm HC?

I understand what he did to turn the program around and the fact that by traditional standards was a very successful coach. At the same time when you take in to account the resources he had available he should have been able to win more. He was a pretty good coach I just don't hold the fake Mac in very high regard after reading him admit to stargazing and talking about how much control his wife had over the football program. I think they fired him a year too late out of loyalty for turning the program around and winning a national title, just my opinion though.

I'm not sure Coker wants to leave UTSA especially for a job like SMU that would be another rebuild. If Coker was really lowballed he would have refused to sign the extension. As for Mack Brown, I don't think he is the right choice for them by any means. You want to hire the guy who had all the advantages in the world but couldn't get the job done and at one time admitted to "star gazing" in recruiting rather than making evaluations? They have plenty of money to throw around, they will get a big time name, we just have to hope it's not a name as big as Larry Brown because the new coach will undoubtedly try to flip a few of our commits when he is hired.

ILB Arthur Brown was Baltimore's second round pick in the 2013 draft out of Kansas State and is now on the trade block. #Ravens ILB Arthur Brown has been the subject of trade discussions with other teams, according to league sources. — Adam Caplan (@caplannfl) September 9, 2014

Finish line is having a deal online where you can get two hoodies and free shipping for $40 right now. They actually have a few cool designs available for UNT. http://www.finishline.com/store/shop/fan-gear/college/north-texas-mean-green/_/N-33j3fZ1z13xrk?categoryId=ncaa_North+Texas+Mean+Green

Of all your posts (and 1,526 posts in a couple of months might be a record) this one is the best.

It's one game, it's not the end of the world.

Look at how many FCS teams/underdogs are hanging with and beating the favorites. 8:56 4TH Q Youngstown St. 17 Illinois 14 9:52 4th North Dakota St. 27 Iowa State 14 9:50 4th NIU 23 Iowa 24 14:56 4th Ga Southern 20 NC State 10 9:49 4th Wofford 19 Georgia Tech 24

Plus you have to wonder how dedicated June Jones really is. I don't know how anyone could be an FBS coach AND devote as much time as he does to his inner city ministry.

That looks f'n incredible.

"Big Country" Bryant Reeves is a top 5 all time NBA center.

Playing first preseason game at Detroit right now, already has a couple tackles as starting MLB.

Will home games be made available to subscribers to MGS this year? This was very annoying last season and I know it caused several people to cancel their accounts.

I'm referring to 247sports specifically here, I'm sure they do heavy evaluation on the can't miss prospects and have seen them in person several times from the time they're freshman up until they are seniors. I just highly doubt they have seen a player like Chett Munden in person and given him an honest evaluation other than watching some highlights online and looking at his offer sheet and where he committed. He was unrated up until yesterday and then rated 75 on the same day. That tells me they looked at a few minutes of film and gave their rating based on that. As for a dedicated site I'm curious to see how many people would be in for $5-10 a month on this forum to have a site on rivals, scout or 247. I simply don't have the time or know how to take on something like this but maybe if there was enough support somebody would take notice.

"Chances Brelan Chancellor makes the final roster: 20%. I saw him play in a few games and it looked to me like he has a real knack for kick returns. Give him a few yards to work with and he is a threat to take it to the house at any given moment. If any of these WR's in this group make the team, it'll be Chancellor." http://www.boltsfromtheblue.com/2014-san-diego-chargers-training-camp/2014/7/29/5945469/san-diego-chargers-udfa-watch-wide-receivers

I don't care whether a prospect is rated 2 or 3 stars, I care about the offer sheet. I'm sorry I just don't believe these evaluators really get a good grip on how talented a player is based off a 4 minute junior highlight on hudl. I've said it before and I will say it again, the fact that we don't have a dedicated recruiting site on rivals, scout or 247 makes a difference in prospect rankings as well. The fact is we have lost more battles than I expected us to so far this season but there is still plenty of time to rectify that. As for Rice I'm not sure we're ever going to have a tremendous amount of success head to head in recruiting. They have a huge advantage with their academics and they have been pulling in players with P5 offers for years now because of it.

If both of the kids from Desoto are still on track to be grayshirts then we already have 3 DL in 2015 class. I still don't see why there would be a hold up in accepting a commitment from a quality defensive lineman especially since we only signed 2 last year while graduating several. I hope we will hear news of a commitment from McWhorter in a few days.
