I’m not talking wholesale lineup changes. As has been stated often, we’re a young team, so the only real positions I think we need see what we’ve got on the roster are QB and Safety. Maybe rotate in a few more DL here and there. Nothing that I would consider tanking.

I'm thinking of an interim (Bennett?) who takes the job with the understanding that they are just finishing up the season in that role and they have a directive from the AD to get guys experience and find the future QB.

As long as I was a fan, I wanted to do away with the body bag games. I always said we should play lower level P5's (though they weren't called P5 then), and equal G5's. Well, I guess "careful what you wish for" is appropriate. I'd rather be playing body bag games. We can lose to OU 57-27 (maybe a little worse), but at least we'd collect a nice paycheck in the process. This is really a tongue in cheek post, but there's also some truth to it. Most teams in the history of UNT football would have loved to have played the schedules we've had the past several years.

The coaching staff reading this thread.

I see where you’re coming from, but I have a different perspective. If SL has lost the team (or maybe even if he hasn’t), if we hire the right guy, players could be excited for a fresh start. A new coach might also want his own guys and encourage some portal entries, so there’s that as well.

This!!! If SL is here the rest of the year, Aune will get 99% of the snaps. If you have an interim, there is a much better chance of “playing for next year.”

This perspective actually makes it worse for me because he’s right. I will never root against my team, but if we do well in the pathetic CUSA, we may be looking at the same thing next year. I don’t think we’re very good, but we don’t have to be to compete in most of the games we have left.

My wife just jokingly said to me, “No wonder your becoming a grumpy old man. You put yourself through this every year.”

Greatness

The Sun Belt is the best G5 this week because of the high profile upsets, but I don’t think they’ll sustain it over a full season.

Green and white=no complaints.

Valid point. I’m an underdog kind of guy and I think this type of kid will usually have the attitude that they have to work hard and earn everything that’s given to them. BUT, a team full of guys from the Lone Star Conference doesn’t get me very excited.

I agree, but I would say it should be the exception and not the rule.

I feel about the same way I felt after Houston Baptist two years ago. Just too many points to give up to a clearly overmatched team.

300 yards passing for Army? Haven’t they had seasons where they didn’t have 300 yards passing?🤣🤣

This. Time of possession for App St. was 41.5 minutes.

There’s the knee-jerking we all expect on here🤣🤣

I think giving up 27 points to Texas Southern tells us a lot about the rest of the year.

Before tonight I thought we’d win at least 7 games because our schedule is so weak, but now I think 6 wins is the ceiling. Also disappointing that Gunnell only threw 3 passes and no other QB threw a pass.

On another note, it took App St beating aTm to make you realize this???

I thought you were going to say we should have scheduled a cupcake like aTm instead of TxSouthern.

But are they playing a team as strong as Texas Southern🤣🤣

Hahaha. I get it.

Did you see what happened when we tried it last week?😬

It could be worse and it has been worse most years since I’ve been a fan (early 90’s).
