Mean Green 93-98

That's from the previous staff, under Tom Allen. Don't think Fuente is there anymore.

It's just sad that's what college football has come to. 50 years from now, people will be reminiscing about how great college football was in the 2010's, when athletes played for the love of the game and would stay at one school their entire careers.

The funny thing with that is, after we fired the DC from Southlake and brought in an experienced college DC . . . our defense actually got worse.

Except UTSA was favored.

That would be a little unorthodox when the current HC is still in his 30s.

When you toss out "Boise State" these days, people start thinking about the giant killers that beat Oregon, OU, etc. None of that had happened yet. I'm not saying they weren't a good team, just that they weren't that team. Again, we had a 2-win season that year. Those were some of my worst years as a UNT fan, and I'd just as soon not go back to that.

It was a losing season. Like I said, not bad, considering UNT's lack of conference championships since Dickey left. But a 5-7 record doesn't rise to the level of "great" in my book.

I really hope our head coach and athletic director are not consulting a fan message board to determine major personnel decisions.

Funny thing is, the defense had probably their best performance under Caponi last week. Then they turn around the very next week and have possibly their worst.

Disagree. In 2001, there was a little run of conference wins, but we closed out the season with a loss to 1st year FBS move-up Troy, and we made a bowl appearance where we looked like we completely didn't belong. 2004 continued the Sun Belt dominance, but we again got destroyed by OOC competition. Including losing to a 1AA (FCS) team. Not bad years, but I still see Dickey's "great" run as limited to 2002-03.

The Baylor win was in the middle of the "great run" I mentioned above. Yes, that stretch was fun. As for the other two wins you mention, Dickey beat Boise State before they were anything special. The Tech win was nice, but Matt Simon had also beat Tech just a couple years earlier. And those two wins were Dickey's only 2 wins that season. I personally would not prefer that type of loser right now.

Dickey had a great run through about 2002-03, but he had been a major loser of a head coach for years before he got to that point.

Almost tripled the viewership of our previous game. I'm sure it had nothing to do with Army's significantly larger fanbase.

UTSA is favored. I don't see how their winning would be a particularly crazy thing.

Someone figure out a way to get this man a golf cart ride from his parking spot to the stadium.

Is this a joke?

There are a couple guys who posted in the Ticket Exchange that they were looking:

Bias aside, I'd have to do the same.

Ridiculous. I hope Diego ends up paying whatever legal fees the NCAA incurs (as well as his own) to deal with this garbage.

It's somewhat dated, but I just found this: https://fbschedules.com/are-bye-weeks-really-an-advantage-in-college-football/ I would think that under our particular circumstances, our bye week was well-timed and should help us. But it does appear that that's not usually the case.

Better defense, combined with emphasizing field position? Just a hunch.

The kid loves the Mean Green, and loves being with his dad cheering on the Mean Green at games, win or lose. I don't know why you would take that away from him.

I guess I should have included in my question that all non-student section general admission tickets also sold out. I'm not saying that's going to happen this Saturday, just curious.

Question: If reserved tickets sell out, is there a time when they can start selling tickets for the student section, assuming the student section is not full?

I remember when we had a "home" game against Army at Texas Stadium in the mid to late 90's. There was a huge contingent of cadets there.
