Hey! We have audio AND a score display on the YouTube broadcast

Yeah but that’s all that happens anymore. We don’t play true exhibitions anymore. Point being, not like this situation is unique to this season.

Technically we did have an exhibition against Mississippi State.

I just don’t understand how an adult who watches every UNT game can’t spell a 5-letter name of our most tenured player.

It’s weird that there was never an issue last season with these YouTube broadcasts. Disappointing.

Rubin! With an I! How are we still getting that wrong in his 3rd season with the team?

He would almost assuredly hold the record for single-season TD passes, be 3rd or 4th in career passing yards, 4th in career TD passes, 2nd in 300-yard passing performances, and he currently has the highest QB rating in school history as well as highest yards per attempt and completion. Not sure how you could induct Thompson but not Austin Aune, if he has a conference championship (which Thompson does not) and better stats.

Yes. 69.2% winning percentage. Was originally comparing to 2017 because that’s the season Fine set the records that were serving as the benchmarks to Aune’s current numbers, as it related to Vito’s comparison of their single-season statistics.

The 2017 team had a 64.2% winning percentage. The 2022 team currently has a 60% winning percentage.

Just one for Fine in 2017, I believe. Against Rice.

Aune has a better TD:INT ratio this season than Fine had the year he set the record for TD passes in a season.

The point is you qualify any of Aune’s success as being due to bad opponent or receiver play when you don’t do that for others, with the Bean case being a perfect example. In a situation where Bean did the exact thing you did to minimize Aune’s success (60 yard YAC), you didn’t do it with Bean. You made a comment about people not having a throw to bitch about, instead of qualifying the success of the TD pass with 60 yards of YAC like you do with Aune. That’s the definition of being inconsistent. And again, if you have something to back up the claim that Aune is some beneficiary of abnormal YAC that other QBs don’t have, would love to see it.

Is there anything to substantiate the claims that Aune is some benefactor of abnormal YAC stats that other QBs aren’t getting? Otherwise, it’s just hating towards a QB you just never give a fair evaluation of. With Emmitt for example, in 2020 against UTSA, Bean was having an objectively bad start to the game and people in the thread were giving Bean a hard time. Emmitt was defending him and qualifying the bad play. Then Bean hits Darden on the sideline, Darden makes a man miss and picks up 60 yards of YAC on his way to a TD (clip attached). Emmitt’s response was: “Anybody wanna bitch about that pass?” No qualifier about YAC, or how the QB benefitted from a great play by Darden. But with Aune, all of his success gets minimized with qualifiers of receivers, bad defense, etc., and his interceptions get magnified. This is a good example of what I said last week. People are so dug in on their stances of Littrell, Aune, etc. that the integrity of the arguments against them are generally rooted in inconsistencies or purposely unevenly weighted towards the bad that we can’t get an accurate analysis.

Vizza had 7 TD passes in the first half against Navy in 2007. The game we infamously lost 74-62.

Aune now has 51 career TD passes, passing Scott Hall (50) for 4th place. All-time school TD pass list is as follows: 1. 93 - Fine 2. 69 - Ramsey 3. 67 - Maher 4. 51 - AUNE Aune is also zeroing in on the school single-season TD pass mark. The single-season TD pass list is as follows: 1. 31 - Fine (2017) 2. 29 - Fine (2019) 3. 28 - AUNE (2022)

I’d like to hear thoughts from those around in the 60s and 70s. The football and men’s basketball record books are littered with players, coaches, and teams from about a 15-year stretch from the mid 60s through the 70s.

As some have already said, it’s weaker which makes the margin for error more slim but also increases the likelihood of us having that huge undefeated run to start the season that we would need to be ranked. So could help, could hurt us.

Aune has a family to provide for and it’s hard to do that as the QB of the North Texas football season. Based on actual quotes to Vito and others, and reading between the lines a little, Aune has most likely spent all of that signing bonus he got from the Yankees 10 years ago, between taxes, buying a house, and 10 years passing. He is catching strays from our fanbase mostly based on what the announcers last Saturday said he told them, about him trying to go pro after this season. The truth of the matter, based on what he has said about likely only being able to come back this season if he got NIL money, is that he just needs to start making money. Sure, he’ll give pro football a shot but it’s not like he’s forgoing eligibility because he thinks he has mastered the college game or football anything like that. Don’t understand the need to clown on the dude for doing what probably any of us would do in that situation. Give pro football a shot before starting a full-time profession to provide for your family.

What point in the game was this posted? Game has been evenly matched and back and forth the whole time with a very pedestrian UTEP team. Rice has played one-score games with two other teams we beat by 3 scores (La Tech and FAU). Seems headed that way with another in UTEP.

Aune has a higher Passer Rating (156.6 to 154.9). Harris has a higher QBR (75.1 to 71.8). So even the comprehensive statistical analyses show the two as having comparable passing outputs.

No one is giving Bloesch all the credit. Well, I’m not. Can’t speak for everyone but pretty sure no one is. The point I was making is just that normally people would give a position coach credit for such a big jump in production but I have yet to see anyone on here give Bloesch credit there as his position coach. Instead I still see people saying we need to hire a “real” QB coach, mostly based on a stance they have been dug into since it was announced that Bloesch would move from OL to QB coach as someone who never played the position.

So you’re saying Aune is a bad QB. If your contention is that he is a bad QB, and the results we are currently getting out of him are that of a well above-average QB (statistically, compared to his peers), wouldn’t that speak volumes to the job of his position coach?

I’m sure this is well-sourced and he may have the ADs attentions, but I have a hard time believing Littrell’s recent track record is one that P5 boosters would be super on board with. In the same way that many on here point out how the struggles are not good to be having this far into his tenure, I think boosters would be put off by not having a winning season in years 4-6. And I really hope he gets hired away. Not because I don’t like him or think he is good enough to win here, but I do want to see us become a school that can get coaches hired away, not just end every HC tenure with a firing.

CUSA being bad shouldn’t be overlooked, but position coaches are evaluated on the actual results. Not hypothetical results of a better conference. And the results are there currently.
