You need good blocking for that. If Eric Morris is dialing up the screens and quicker plays, it's likely because he doesn't believe the line can hold up. If SFA is any indication, he's not wrong. Our O line has struggled.

I was looking through college football schedules yesterday. It started with the Rice UNT 77-20 game so I looked at the Rice schedule that year thinking they must have won the conference only to see they lost to Tulsa 63-28. Same thought. "Wow Tulsa must have been great!" Checked their schedule and saw they lost to Houston 70-30. Tulsa was great that year by the way. Anyways, checked Houston's schedule since they walloped Tulsa and saw they went 8-5. No crazy losses but it reminded me anybody can lose big to anybody on any given week. This helped me calm down a bit. I'm still upset about yesterday. Really, I'm embarrassed. But these games can happen. I've tempered my emotions until next Saturday. I need to see us do to Wyoming what Tech did to us. That was a team that was upset and probably had some not so nice moments in practice during the week. We need to see the same on Saturday. We need to see a team motivated by a pissed off coaching staff. Let's go. GMG

We're just waiting on the new fiscal year. The budget for positive experiences has run out.

The westcoast PAC schools are no further than the eastcoast AAC schools. Just need a few PAC travel partners and geography no longer becomes a concern when compared to our current setup.

Yes the AAC will need to come up with something. I wonder if they can bump the money UTSA, UNT, and Rice are getting to 80% or 90%. Even then, we know the next deal will be smaller than the current one. We also know Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be frontrunners to join the ACC when that blows up. If we're offered the PAC, I view it like being offered a life raft. If Memphis, Tulane, and USF leave what's left is CUSA schools plus Navy, Tulsa, Temple, ECU, and Army. Now who thinks that list is better than the new PAC?

C Rod has covered the starter math. That's reason number 1. Reason number 2 is once the next AAC deal is signed without Cincy, UCF, and Houston it'll be a fraction of the current deal which means our 50% of AAC money becomes even smaller. Reason number 3 is the new PAC already has 3 programs who've been NCAA tournament regulars for a few years now. Should they continue their basketball success in the new PAC, that's more NCAA tournament credits flowing in which means more money than the AAC which is a 2-bid conference at best right now. That means the difference AAC vs PAC money becomes even greater. Reason number 4 is the PAC name, even in the new form, holds more weight than the AAC. Adding the top MWC programs and some of the top AAC programs will separate it from the MWC and AAC and create a clear gap in prestige. Something else to consider about Tulane, Memphis, and South Florida is they're a better geographical fit for the ACC and that looks to be imploding soon. With our location, we're not further from the ACC than we are the PAC. The PAC is the best available conference and they have openings. We need to latch on to the best opportunities we can or we'll keep finding ourselves on the outside looking in.

So basically shut down the entire athletic department because Dallas has pro football and basketball or what? It's really not complicated. The smaller the athletic budget, the harder it is to compete in football in the FBS. Some small FBS programs have figured out how to do it. UNT is not one of them. Our budget would allow us to compete in basketball, though. What it comes down to for me is I don't care what we excel at but excel at something. We can't be good not great at basketball and average not terrible at football and expect to thrive. I'd rather be great at one and terrible at the other than where we are now. We're close with basketball. Why not make the investment to be great there? I'd rather have a nationally respected basketball program even if it means terrible football. It'd be one more nationally respected program than what we have now. Right now we have nothing.

All of you with this mindset about basketball haven't paid attention to the Mountain West Conference the past few years. They've kept rosters mostly together and retooled as needed despite NIL. More importantly, they repeatedly earned their conference and themselves NCAA credits which is revenue. So your solution is to shut everything down then. Got it. Being the BB farm system in this world, if that happened, would lead to repeated NCAA tournament appearances. You can reload 5-7 basketball players on a yearly basis and be successful. You know how I know? Because programs like Kentucky did it for years while churning out one-and-done prospects to the NBA. If some of the top juco or HS prospects want to come to UNT for a year or two and raise their stocks to jump to a bigger program, that's much easier to manage than having 77 new players every year on a football team. You want consistency if you can but getting a new rosters in basketball means getting 12 guys to gel as opposed to getting 77 guys to gel in football. And yes, I realize we wouldn't be getting the talent that a Kentucky would be getting. The point is you can rebuild rosters yearly in basketball and create chemistry every year. Basketball needs to be the way for us. Every year we don't reallocate money to basketball is a year and ressources wasted.

You know, for a former WR his receivers sure do drop a lot of balls. Ward in the first drive, two that led to turnovers, Conwright there on 3rd down and I think he had another catchable drop. Pretty sad.

We only need 6 more unanswered touchdowns to win.

The transfer portal has nothing to do with today's game. Other teams, including G5 teams are doing fine despite the portal.

Beautiful. Was it more or less embarrassing than hitting a receiver in the face and the ball popping up for an interception?

What happened on the 3rd pic? My wife walked into the living room and I was so embarrassed I turned off the TV and sat in silence.

So we get 2 fair catch interference flags in 1 half. Memphis forces two punt/kick return fumbles on Florida State in 1 half.

And their close game against ACU? Coach and team just pissing down their legs here.

Guys I hate to say it but the second half will have running 5 minute quarters at this rate. Embarrassing.

I don't know how you're still in public. I barely want to be in my own living room right now

But but but football is the way because Texas and and maybe one day and and DFW

Bench Koch. Two straight pics throwing to him.

Misdemeanor non-violent arrests are a sign of a championship team. Just look at Georgia. Have to let them play though.

"Alright defense, whatever play they run is towards the middle of the field because the kicker can only kick it from the center."

Good thinking. Maybe they're staying fresh for the second half.

Imagine how small your 3rd down play book gets if you have to consider your kicker's preferred angle. There should be no misses from inside 30 yards

And the 26 yard FG missed

Some of these playcalls... what's with the cute stuff??
