It’s nice to get another team’s fans viewpoint of things. Many Houston fans wish to keep us in the rotation along with Texas state and utsa. Shows you that there is a hunger to play drivable games against fans who care, bands that travel and venues that rumble. GMG

There is a breaking point. What turned me off about the nfl is coming to college sports especially the big dogs. It’s okay, they’ll lose viewers and fans after cashing in on a big paycheck - leaving destruction and demolition behind. But if you think people across the south and Texas are all of a sudden gonna stop playing and watching football, well then you have underestimated the flyover folk once again. Football will survive and thrive in a different form outside of Austin and College Station. But the big boys have it all wrong. There is time for sanity. You don’t grow your sport by shrinking your pool. That is why I think the format is here to stay with an expansion to 8 playoff teams. There are people in and out of the main leagues that feel their is a place for Boise and UCF and are interested in seeing what they will do against Washington Oklahoma. GMG

This is not the same old North Texas. When I was there in the 80's we made sweet lemonade out of spoiled fruit. The 90's saw that drama continue with the swing back up to tougher competition. Then there was the stress and bipolar relationship of the early 2000's, where we walked around with swagger in the Belt and dreamed of beating a big boy or name program. Then came the disaster which I can't digest or discuss on a week like this. Now we are at the end of the 10's and we are a really different program from a leadership and facilities perspective. It kind of reminds me of TCU's rise when they were rising and would suffer some devastating, rip the intestines out of the fanbase losses to Utah, Boise - the Baylor debacle that kept them from winning the NC. Yet they kept getting back up off the mat and charging forward. We are not at TCU's level, and frankly that program seems to have stalled a bit. However, the elation and pain will keep us coming back and I do not believe we won't ever see another great QB at UNT. Fine has been magical and the time has gone fast. But this is still a dream system for some talent out there. This is an awesome stepping stone program or more if they want it for a great coach. Seth and Mason will hopefully finish strong and ride into the sunset with us cheering and celebrating strong. Then we return to the Hill to see what excitement the 20's brings. GMG

I know it's early but I don't see the juicy openings developing just yet. It is still October 1 but let's be honest - last year there were some fantastic openings that had Seth's name as a potential look on them - Tech, Tennessee, KSU...This year everyone seems to be treading water okay, even the ones that looked rough and ugly early - UCLA, USC, Arizona. Those guys are starting to win just enough games to warrant a keep. I just don't see Seth going to Maryland or Syracuse or Purdue or someplace like that. Just turn this darn thing around. GMG

Yeah, this is take your bumps year. I think Southern Miss will come in and make a statement. However, that doesn't mean a Sunday Funday in New Orleans after the game won't make it all that much better. Two headed down from rowdy 105. GMG

I’ll be in Hattiesburg but running a table? A table full of Rudy’s barbecue maybe. This team is going to struggle to beat southern miss and la tech if we don’t get flat out blown away by a pissed off golden eagle team and good defense in Ruston. Let’s try to get 6. I want a shot at another bowl win. Gmg

Uhhhhh dude is so gone. gmg

Man with this team as currently constructed I see 3 maybe 4 clock cleanings. Could be a dark start next year. But I’ll go to Aggie, one of my other favorite teams. gmg

Yeah, my cousin coaches for UT sorta almost and I do say go Runners, except when they play my Mean Green. Just saying. GMG

Nobody rises to low expectations. Beat Southern Miss GMG

I love Fine and I am sorry but you can't just let the kid off the hook. I'm waiting for him to win a BIG game along with Seth. Mason is and will be loved forever in Mean Green land. But whether its the coaches or the scheme or the whatever, I look forward to Mason getting through it. San Antonio is what I loved and will cherish forever from him. I just wish we had a few more of those when it counts in relation to growing the program. This is not a hate on Fine post. This is a frustration with the program and leaders of the Green post. Okay, got it out. At least the beach is across the street. GMG

Seth is here next year. He ain't going anywhere boys after the trends. You lose every big game. You don't play D. You let suspect coaches play calls too long. There goes attendance the rest of the year. Poor Wren having to work with this disaster. "Nobody rises to low expectations." Wren needs to get the coaching list dusted off. He will use it at some point and he needs to implore to Seth that he is impeding the upward trajectory of this program. Cash the check but you don't get to take the jersey with you. North Texas I love. See you in Hattiesburg. GMG

What a joke. I actually think this Houston team is interesting and will be better under tune. Time to play out the season boys. Try to squeak into a bowl and let's drink heavily in New Orleans. GMG

This team seems softer than Houston. They are bringing heat, emotion, hits, creativity. It's really something to watch. gmg

Fine - would you get a dam first down!

Dana and Sonny laughing at the sexy seth coach in waiting talk. gmg

Stupid stupid play behind the first down marker. Unbelievable. gmg

Dang. La Tech survives in OT. GMG

UAB goes down! GMG

Kirven is just nasty good. WOW! I hope we get guys like that one day. They look P5 level we look sunbelt. gmg

Western up on UAB by a touchdown late. GMG

Who the heck is the snapper - geez! Silver lining is Rice up by 3 late over La Tech. GMG

I like this series. It makes sense for UNT and Houston, the big metro State programs bringing it to each other's house every year. Too bad we're not in AAC or can't develop a longer term series with them a la SMU. GMG

It will be important for coaches to recruit character and not just extremely talented. Sounds weird but if you are trying to build a program you need commitment. The athletes are always going to get their run at the big programs, but for G5 really check a kid's head short experience and thinking. How does he think, goals...loyalty, living with ups and downs and challenges and growing from them and shining when you rise still has merit. GMG

I'm sitting in Phukett watching the massacre in Denton right now. I would say this is a global win, being able to watch anywhere in the world. Not so sure I would like the masses seen this effort. GMG
