I like how so many assume that NT was not asked to consider PAC membership. Being asked and turning it down is not the same as not being asked. As far as the mentioned schools having discussions about their future, they are like it or not; the highest profile teams in the AAC. I am not sure how you know NT was not part of this group, all I can guess it is an assumption. The PAC makes little sense for any of these teams. Does USF really want to travel across country for volleyball and swimming? This only makes sense if the new PAC can retain it's designation as a P5 conference. How do they do that by replacing their best teams with g5's?

Who called the AAC an elite conference? Calling the old MVC; when NT was a member, not elite is not stating or implying that any other league is elite. Currently, there is only one elite conference, the SEC. The B12, B10 and ACC would be substantially lower level. What conference would not be worse if they lost 5 of their best programs?

That footprint for a while was 8 teams in 8 different states, not exactly compact. This no doubt was the best bb conference, NT has been part of; but most of the schools in that time were far from football elite.

Anyone ancient enough to remember the Big West, knows this is not a good option. Super high travel, late night games, and conference and games against Western teams that few NT fans cared about. This alignment may not be bad for football and basketball; but a horrible option for olympic sports. Of course, if a PAC can get a number of close teams to Denton; than it would be more appealing. PAC was considered a P5, I doubt there is any change that could happen with the reconstituted league were the PAC remains a top tier member. The current AAC is the best conference that NT has ever been a part of considering the members and footprint.

Was a little concerned with soccer program after last year performance, but this year's team looks to be much improved.

Why do I get the feeling you would be much happier if NT was behind by multiple td's?

You promise more NIL money than you can raise.

If your point is that college football coaches are paid too much, than I agree. If you are really in demand, corporate executives do get contracts. Most also get bonuses whether it is deserved or not. Unfortunately, no matter how you perform your job, there is no clear cut rating like a win-loss record to rate performance.

Well, aren't you all rainbows and unicorns. Again, what has this to do with football? I guess you cannot criticize any NT team's performance because the football team lost to Tech. Real logic there. I assume you also believe all D1 conferences are equivalent. SEC, WAC, AAC, etc.

How would I know that today or four days ago? NT should beat Wyoming, no guarantee; but if I had your confidence I would put a big bet on the visitors.

Expressing disappointment in the soccer team's performance is what you term "crapping on the Soccer ladies'"? By the way it has absolutely nothing to do with the football team's performance.

This has got to be one of the stupidest headlines used on the official site that I have seen. What an accomplishment, tying a lower tier team that NT had a 6-0 all-time record against.

That would be about the only thing that would make me give up NT football fandom.

Has NT ever lost a game, were the consensus from this board is not to fire someone or everyone? Answer, probably only when playing P4 teams were the score was closer than predicted. Morris is going to be here at least to the end of the season, and likely to be here next year. Unless, you have a few million to help buy out a contract; then you are just venting. NT is 2-1 which is slightly better than the projected 1-2. If you thought NT was going to beat Tech in Lubbock than you are definitely an optimist. Tech as I stated earlier on this board, could have scored 100 today. It was an awful beating, but it was one game and changes little about NT's football objectives this year, I really wonder how many of those that complain the most even go to any NT games.

What kind of season did you expect last year. 13-0 or 12-1 Obviously, Morris after one year at 5-7 should have been fired, I am sure would have contributed to the buyout.

You do know that NT has won several national golf championships? Hopefully they are better than they have shown thus far, but I don't understand what you base your view on.

Not much, however why do you think firing a coach after 3 games makes any sense. I am sure you can name a bunch of established coaches that would want to work at a school that fires a 2-1 coach in September.

What the heck does that have to do with my post. If you think it makes sense to fire the hc now, than support that bs.

No, NT certainly does not need to change the DO now; because it would probably only make the situation worse. DC's working for a Lynch type hc are at a tremendous disadvantage. Do any of you really think that it is easy to get good defensive players for a team that is obviously offensive focused. I think the 3 man front defense is a failure, but the recruits were recruited on the basis of that formation. To try to make a change at this point would be foolish. Tech was a superior team with superior athletes, the game should have been closer but NT only chance for a win was a great game by QB Morris and that didn't happen. The game was in Lubbock and Tech was fired up and NT couldn't match their athletes or intensity. HC Morris should be judged and will be judged on the season not one game.

Thanks to Tech for not scoring a hundred, which they could have. Only one game, but a horrible one.

When is the last time, NT played TCU in football or basketball? SMU was also a G5 until they purchased their way into the AAC. TCU has been a P4or 5 for a long time. TCU also has a lot of local fan support, while SMU has very little. It is just easier to dislike the most penalized team in the country.

Nice quote, but mostly wrong. How can the nearest D1 football team to Denton, mean nothing to NT? The two schools compete for fans, recruits and media coverage.

Only 13 years ago, not exactly recent, NT also played #1 Depaul ages ago in Dallas. Also LSU's basketball is not close to their football program. Still I doubt you see NT schedule any SEC schools in Denton. I hope NT improves their oc schedule, I just doubt it can be done with the resources NT currently has.

How do you suppose NT can schedule a LSU like school to play in Denton?
