Not many. But his UNT legacy would take a hit, or so it should.

Maybe. But I saw SL/GH run Mason quite a bit in a lot of different scenarios like with no knee brace on, 1 knee brace on, 2 knee braces on, no stitches, 7 stitches, not concussed, concussed, 180 pound lb power play, 4th and 1, etc.

True. Buts kids renig allllll thhheeeeee tiiiiimmmmme. SL may recruit MF for a 2nd time. I doubt SL would do that to the UNT fan base, but let him open the cabinet in Manhattan...he may rethink it.

Wren saying yesterday, "We don't want to be a place that hinges our success on one person..." or something thereabouts was pretty telling.

Noodle arm stockstill stealing awards.

Yeah...I guess. But it's spinning reality a bit. If they beat us they will definitely end up in both coaches and AP. Maybe we can blast them and take their spot.

It was a good post. To point out again, Utah State will not be a ranked team during the games broadcast. ESPN places a ranking beside a teams name via the CFB playoff ranking. So unless the casual fan is a poll Nazi, which I highly doubt, not many people will know they are 23rd in the coaches poll.

Maybe, maybe not. I have no idea. I do think at this point it's safe to say SL is without doubt a legitimate candidate for this opening. Whether they offer him or not, we'll find out soon enough.

Dan McCarney? Pssssssstttttsssshhiiiiiitttttt. Dude a bum.

Those are good programs and bad seasons* or being sidetracked are anomalies. We are a bad program with a good team. Therefore we have to take full advantage in hopes to turn us into a good program. Have we taken advantage? An argument could be made for both cases. But a 9 win season makes UNT fans happy. It still doesn't change the perception of UNT. Exhibit A: KState fan perception of UNT. *Those programs you named won 7, 8, and 9 games. Unfortunately, most UNT fans would accept that as peak performances. Those 3 programs in comparison, will not.

...Standing OC, Ryan Day, set to takeover Jan. 2. So this creates minimal action.

Yeah, he is. But that doesn't fall into the criteria of his job. He's doing a good job, and I don't mind the stammering through pressers (or the pretty good jokes). It sort of shows authenticity, and I like that.

True. Nothing we can do. EXCEPT for to never stop talking about it to insure that it never happens again, ever.

Very true. This has been our achilles heel, and it has been the least recruited areas for Littrell; in both quality and quantity.

I agree with that to an extent. But like a system QB, there can be a system athletic department. Program's like Toledo, SDSU, LaTech, Astate, Boise, SoMiss, and more have kind of found a way to maintain competitiveness through whatever.

Not to be that guy, but, duh. I've said countless times on this forum...We are Mean Green alumni. WE bleed green. These coaches...they are not and they do not. It's just jibber jabber to get the fan base riled up and and hopeful recruits interested. During a lot of coaching changes though kids come out and say things like "I committed to the university, not the coach", and will hold their commitment. That's even if this is a thing.

I think those 15 years may have been worse than anything else, including briefly dropping down. Those years from 03-16 saw a massive shift, due in large part mass media, than I think ever before. Winning, facilities, fundraising, popularity of the sport, conference shifts, tv deals etc. were all spiking at unprecedented levels. It was polarizing to be frank. And then there we were...

Yes, they have basketball. Through the mechanism of scandalous cheating.

That is dirrahea. This conference is horrible. But to your post, you're saying it will take potentially 8 years for him to win the conference. My god, what has your football watching eyes seen over the years to be OK even saying that.

Ppl will dog you if you talk about their daddy like that. Better watch it. The same ppl that will dog you will hold SL in UNT lore and he hasn't won a damn thing. Nothing. Nada. But, they'll pile on that nutsack and swing around forever. It's who we are because of how mismanaged this department was for so long. Beaten dog syndrome at it's finest. As for the Twitter bitches, eff em.

Yeah...like I said, I don't. But people get paid handsomely to create answers.

You're right, I don't give many of those. However, I'm not angry. I'll be there.

Wait. Should I be happy or depressed by this? I'm confused.

No, that's funny. SoMiss folks gotta be raging out. I understand leaving out FCS UTSA last year. But SoMiss is one of the original CUSA members with a strong fanbase.
