  1. Its about the equivalent of watching our offense...
  2. I'll bet you $50 you wouldn't say that to his face...
  3. Its obvious that the mean, white, conservative, suburbs caused this kind of vitriol to get spewed--it really isn't his fault. Damn society...
  4. Dear Dr. Smatresk, I know you are very busy with the inner workings of UNT-Denton and the early plans for UNT-Frisco, so I don't want to bother you, but can you please publicly address the minority of the UNT Family that follows our athletic department's main two sports and if you, too, feel utterly embarrassed? If so, what are your plans to change this, if any? If not, tell us why just so we can hear it directly from you. Sincerely, Defeated in Denton
  5. Until the offense is more than just handoff, handoff, throw bubble screen or short pass that is within two yards of the LOS, no QB is going to make this any better. But at least we would be excited at the prospect of a guy who basically Woody Wilsons it and freelances to actually move the ball in a quick strike fashion, instead of this boring game plan that cannot compete against current game plans at other G5 teams we thought we could compete with.
  6. I figured SMU would win one game this season, probably against FCS James Madison. They lost that one, so the win over us makes me think that will probably be it for them this year. They just don't have depth or enough developed talent to compete yet. Next year, they will be better--maybe even bowl eligible.
  7. But McNulty scores really high on Chico's paper tests and practices at a very high level...
  8. If we get to 2 wins, I'll be surprised. That SMU loss told me we couldn't beat another FBS program on our schedule. I figure the only one we have a possible chance to win is that last home game here against UTEP, only because they, too, may be so beaten down by the season that they have given up. But even that scenario is doubtful. I think we will be doing good to just beat FCS Portland State on Homecoming. To put it another way, I think the odds of us going defeated for the whole season are higher than for us to win two games...
  9. Ben Gooding thinks you're going overboard here...
  10. Well, you and your gang have the opportunity to prove it...but the current AD better not be the one who gets to pick any other coach going forward or else we are setting ourselves up for continued suckitude...
  11. This may be the sorriest post I've ever read on this forum--and that's saying A LOT.
  12. This thread is just full of lots of love... And, btw, if Ryan and Ben Gooding fight, there aren't any winners in that ring... Sorry, Harry, for the history lessons--but I guess I am just tired of watching people waster their time and money on something that was supposed to be much better once we: A.) Hired a real, experienced coach B.) Had a brand new football stadium C.) Got out of the Crap Belt and had other regional teams in conference play 2013 fooled me badly--but the contract extension RV game Mac has handcuffed us for years ahead. I think someone should have to pay for that mistake that is high up in the leadership of the debacle. And Chico doesn't count... Neal Smatresk is the last hope we have. If it doesn't happen with him in charge, its not gonna happen in enough time to keep me around. I'll say this again, if Tony Benford coaches one day at this school after this upcoming season ends without a postseason berth in the NIT or the NCAAs, I'm out, regardless...
  13. I'm glad to know that the stats back up what our eyeballs are seeing--we suck so bad right now...and we haven't even played the really good teams on the schedule yet. After WKU, La Tech, Marshall, Tennessee, and MUTS get done with us, its very possible that we will be dead-ass last in almost every one of those stats, defensively
  14. Sadly, this news will probably be the highlight of most MG basketball fans for the upcoming season...Benford'd and Rv'd
  15. Benford would be an awesome replacement for Brown. They need to clean house--and send us back Jankovich
  16. 0-3, getting beat by the worst team in FBS from last year that just lost to a FCS team, then losing in a less competitive game than the score indicated against a conference opponent, and then getting crushed by a P5 team that isn't exactly a world beater makes me believe, that, yes, most facets of this team are not good--at all. You can call it trashy even!! The line has gotten pushed around, the passing game is sporadic, at best, and the defense and special teams are awful. So, yes, I think we absolutely suck right now.
  17. This would be so North Texas, it isn't even funny...yet I'm laughing as I post this--how ironic!!
  18. The absolute worst spot for UNT to get in is your scenario listed above. You cannot let a coach in any sport coach in the last year of a contract. If you think recruiting has been bad so far, not even unrated players would want to consider coming here, not knowing if the coaching staff will even be there at the end of the season. That's why you have to extend or cut bait before the last year of the contract. If we get to 2017 and have another winning season, one that is 7 wins as you mentioned above, I'm almost certain that he will get an RV extension of at least 2+ years. RV is dying to give those out to Mac or Benford or any other revenue hire--it is now known that he has a contract that the BOR allows him to get his own extensions when he gives one out that gets BOR approval. If you think things are pathetic now, imagine that scenario playing out--Mac getting another extension because he cleared that incredibly high hurdle of finishing above .500 in a season again...
  19. It was worse when we hired a high school coach the first time in 1991 to take over a I-aa team that was so poor, it wasn't even funny. A crowd at Fouts that topped 10k was considered just amazing during those Parker years. We just didn't have anyone who cared back then. I've stated before, but I've seen our low point in person, on the sidelines, watching us play in front of about 150 people in the second half of a blowout win over Nicholls State in a mid-November home game at night that got us to 3 wins in 1992. We are mad right now because we have an awesome stadium, better facilities than we have ever had, and the best conference we have ever been a part of in 40+ years. And we are just as bad right now as we have been for most of the seasons since we moved back up in 1995. But the fans don't make any difference here--the only thing that does is the view of athletics at the administrative level--unless the BOR and the chancellor care enough to give the president the ability to clean house, its all a moot point. And that's assuming the president really does care about this, beyond lip service, which none of us knows for sure.
  20. Exactly--and I hate it when I hear that "this is Texas, football matters more here than basketball does"... Benford and Dodge are both prime examples of how we don't care about winning, just known costs.
  21. USM--40+, at least one TD from a turnover UNT--less than 20, with one TD scored late in the game. UNT AD, BOR, and HFC--we are doing fine, staying within budget, providing a great value, helping to create great fathers and husbands UNT 15 BMDs--loving this time with RV and hearing his awesome jokes and stories, as well as his "vision"--BOR are fun, too. Rest of the remaining UNT faithful--this is one more game closer to me just walking away, realizing I wasted months, years, decades of my life on this charade. Other 98% of UNT alumni, students, faculty, and citizens of Denton County--why would I follow that team? My t-shirt is burnt orange, maroon, crimson, black, purple, etc...
  22. And they fired their coach after 0-12--his first and only year. Ours is in Year 5--and is basically guaranteed to be here to coach in Year 7 because he costs too much to replace. Why anyone would give a penny to this AD if no top personnel aren't fired after this debacle is beyond me--note that top personnel is not Chico or assistant coaches, nor does it include assistant ADs.
  23. Not. A. Prayer. Of. This. Happening.
  24. Because we don't care about winning--that's why its not North Texas... I really wonder why we even field a team if your mindset isn't about winning and all about cost.
