Exactly. It’s like the pilots I once trained - cocky, arrogant, knew it all, up for the test. On further reflection that’s exactly who I wanted flying my helicopter into the valleys of Hawaii. If you walk into a situation without the belief you can succeed and elevate, you won’t. Coach is interesting cat. Not sure of what his personality is but it was enough to get one of the best jobs in all levels of football. 🏈 Interesting watch in Tuscaloosa. GMG

I believe it will be Lane. He has just enough villain in him to keep Bama, hated Bama. The Carrol idea is interesting and there is no way that coach is done. He needs a gig more than Belichick. Plus Kiffin knows the SEC. He’s won at most stops. He recruits grade A talent to Ole Miss. He’s ready and I don’t think this is a thankless job. Alabama will reload not rebuild. You give me a ready made culture with high bars and expectations, and resources out the arse. That is not a bad gig. Sark would be a risk. Need to see him do a bit more at Texas before he gets one of the primo jobs in the old SEC. He’s got one in the new SEC. I did Dabo but he struggles with the new landscape. Too risky. GMG

Glad I lived through the Saban legend - can only imagine Vince Lombardi, Bear Bryant and Darrell K Royal. We witnessed one of the greats of all times. Roll Tide gmg

Ford is not a great place. It feels outdated and the concessions are terrible. I’ve only been a few times but your friend’s observations were completely understandable. I really don’t understand how a stadium concession crew can establish such a reputation for mismanagement for more than 5 years now without a fix in sight. I mean if the State Fair booths can do it every year, what’s up with whoever handles the F&B contract for smu. Will not miss ford. Thank goodness for DATCU. GMG

I know they would bring a crowd. But UTSA would bring a crowd to Ford and would they ever want to play them? They skirted them in bowl games and conference play to boot. I don’t want the smu scheduling philosophy of wanting other fans to fill our stadium. Example, Houston yes with their solid fanbase, Texas State, if we have to. But not my first OOC of interest. I think this goes back to my old school days of following UNT since the 80’s. I have a been there done that with the Bobcats. We weee conference mates and I saw them often. Whereas younger fans haven’t seen this show yet. I would much love us going after the CSU, Boise, Oregon State, San Diego State, Washington State, some Big 10s that don’t come to North Texas often. Look we’ll play them in conference soon enough. Quality schedules requested por favor. GMG

Good for Jason. All the best on your next life chapters. GMG

I still prefer playing La Tech. Let’s play TSU if they are conference mates one day. Sic’em on the Runners at this time. I hope we go bowling next year. GMG

I still think they are second in line: 1. Georgia State 2. Texas State …and would roadrunner have objections and try to block their addition. yeah smu end zones is silly. One month since regular seasons end. Smu will do anything for attention. Crowd looks good on tv. Rice is much improved despite this game. Defense is solid. GMG

I still think the Jags will be one of our toughest games next year along with Texas Tech, especially based on the way we all play. Meanwhile future AAC target Georgia State looked good. SBC and MWC overall struggling this bowl season. Keep rolling AAC! GMG

SMU will still be in the ACC but it will be a shell of the league they gave themselves up for. New ACC would be BC Syracuse SMU Pitt Wake Tulane Rice USF Memphis Georgia Tech UCONN UMASS 2 others. They won’t come back to the AAC but other options include joining the SBC or giving CUSA a presence in the Metroplex again. GMG

That smile says it all. A passionate Mean Green who got to see highs and lows and supported to the end. So glad he had a chance to live one of our Mean Green’s most iconic memories in person. RIP Sir

The most baffling post of this time of year to me are people complaining we have too much college football on a college football board. Maybe I just hang with too many SEC fans and people who have spent time in the south, but this take is always strange to me. The Western Kentucky bs Old Dominion game was one of the best games of the year! These stats/ ODU winning 28-0 and lose. WKU with 5 turnovers and win. ODU stopped at the 1 then a missed FG WKU quarterback a Bowling Green native with strange mechanics leads the team on an unprecedented comeback. WKU kicks FG in OT and kicker gets carried off the field. Teary eyed quarterback swarmed by cheerleaders after win. One of the MAC matchups was awesome. The Montana Griz’ show stopping win over the Dynasty Bison of NDSU was an incredible watch. Yes Incorporate the bowls into the playoff format to increase attendance. Keep the bowls for those who aren’t in the 12. The one thing I have been pleasantly surprised by is that with so many holdouts it’s a freaking free for all out there. Better give your backups some reps in season because you will use them in the bowls. We also got a glimpse of the future in McCown and Pennington. Cole looks exactly like Chad to me - blew me away. Sign me up for too much football and let’s go bowling next year! GMG

It’s interesting because once they choose to leave my school I just don’t care. Don’t need to hear about their stats where they landed blah blah. Not upset they moved on. But they are gone. Interested who is excited to wear the patch next season. GMG

The hardest thing for me to adjust to as a fan is that every year is a crapshoot. I remember driving to Denton for the Cal game with friends saying, I have no idea what to expect. New quarterback new coach…that is every year now. Just need to see what shows up have some fun and hope for the best. Hold accountable if they don’t deliver but the days of having an idea of what to expect Labor Day weekend seem long gone. GMG

The Harris comparison is not far off. The Musers were talking this week that what you will have is a college pro league where Dillon Gabriel could realistically stay at OU making millions of dollars playing for the Sooners as a career. Harris would do that in a heartbeat. It’s a new world and we have delicious assets attributes. Need to maximize our population, location and connections to rise above the Utah States, Fresnos Boises and Iowa States of the world. All fine institutions but we have many benefits to offer. Conference affiliation is very soon not going to matter much. Hire the visionaries and activators and watch us soar. GMG

I don’t know about the MWC commish. The PAC 2 landed in her lap. She was about to hemorrhage one of her biggest brands and lose a target in SDSU and Gonzaga. Then the PAC fell apart. Two things with Aresco retiring we must evaluate: 1. Who is our new leader? Competent and a fighter, great. We have a lot going for us in the AAC. 2. If unsure about new leader do we entertain joining an expanded PAC that will include the MWC OSU WSU…we could take our talents out west along with UTSA and/or Texas State. I would think Tulane Rice Tulsa South Florida. Memphis end up in the ACC. I like our landing spot now but Mike was a big part of that. GMG

I agree on Andy! Boise’s D was better than in the past. GMG

Need to leverage this new day: 1. Play close to home - unleash your skills in front of friends and family 2. Play in the hottest sports business region in the country - eyeballs and proximity are here 3. Play in a fun system 4. Utilize these final years to elevate all your skills - athletic, business acumen, network, connectivity 5. Execute in great company. North Texas is AAC ACC Big 12 SEC country GMG

I don’t know, 12-0 is nothing to sneeze at unless you play boring offensive football. Liberty appears to play a fun style of ball. If they look like the Coastal of old they will be a fun watch. GMG

TCU ruined it for everyone. Nobody wants another “frog” in the final 4. Watching that fsu game was brutal. Horrible horrible horrible offenses. Gruesome. Nobody wanted to watch that team get pummeled on New Year’s Day. Plus you give up a spot. Last year was milk toast and this year does not appear to be milk toast with who will be fighting it out for the crown. Good news is you got a villian in the final 4. A cheater in the final 4. Cinderella and the Heisman Trophy winner in the final 4. A rags to riches story in the final 4. It’s absolutely delicious! 1. You cannot leave the best conference out of the playoffs. 2. You cannot piss off the religious football south. Could you imagine the boycott and disruption in the streets if you leave out of the core that drives your entire sport. 3. Louisville with their porn star mustache quarterback looked awful. They were soft soft soft. Running out of bounds instead of absorbing the hit. Leaving 3rd and 2 followed by tragic punt. Louisville overrated fsu the product of bad happenings late. 4. This will expedite fsu’s exit out of the ACC. SEC gets bids the ACC does not. 5. Alabama’s ability to get in the playoff ensures big boys will continue to play the beasts and not substitute Texas for Delta State. You CAN recover from an early season fall down. 6. Great for CUSA - Chadwell is awesome! Aggieland hello! Fun season ahead. GMG

I’ll root for smu if we keep their NY6 money. GMG

Can we get some of that PAC 2 money please. GMG

I am also not convinced our schedule is going to be so easy. ECU FAU Navy Tulsa South Florida all aiming to get better like us. Trust, they see us as easy too. I too believe that if we see a repeat of this D under Caponi, both EM and Caponi should be let go. There are not years available to figure this out. Eric’s decision is his fate and I WANT him to build it HIS way. He must believe in all aspects and live with our record in 365 days. GMG

But did you notice the sideline? It wa almost all black from head to toe. EM and every coach. I would encourage Jared to find some cool slick Green gear to turn the guys (coaches) on to. Modeling matters. GMG

I didn’t miss anything. I invested, I am concerned about the defense. I will still travel to Denton, to watch parties and away games. Ive been doing that since ‘86. I don’t expect everyone to be sunshine and daffodils but there is some negative juju on this site for a team that never quit. We got blown out by smu and cal. The guys played hard and through some disbelief from the fans all year, me included. They finished on a high note. I’m celebrating an end of a season win rather than a disappointing bowl loss. No apoligies Fix the deficiencies in 2024 and keep building. GMG
