  1. The FCS model is a model we need to learn to get along with. We need W's and it provides W's. What we don't need is having to play 4 OOC games a season vs teams who have a legitimate shot at beating us. 2019 and 2020 OOC are very difficult slates. If we had no FCS and instead another P5 or respectable G5 opponent, it would create 0 room for error and potentially turbulent years. We need W's.
  2. Arkansas is not a good team. I am friends with many of Arkansas fans and they are sweating about this game. A couple of them have conceded to defeat and are looking for ways not to have Morris any longer. We can't let them have our way with our D, and I don't think they will. We are playing a worse version of Iowa from last year, but with a far more efficient passing game. The Ark backs will get theirs, we just have to limit it, much like what we did in Iowa. On O, we will need to apply pressure to their D all game long.
  3. That's because casual fans only see what the media tells them to see. Even a ton of diehard fans of blue blood programs only see what the media wants them to see. To the 'elite' programs' ignorant fans, us and Northeastern State are literally on the same playing level. A lot of my non Mean Green friends are fans of the elites, and most of them couldn't tell you what conference Appy State, San Jose, Toledo, or UH are in. They are oblivious outside of their bubble. We are in this conundrum because the media. Just like political media, sports media reigns no difference. They push their most profitable agenda at all times, and at all cost. In time, a more profitable approach would be to push the good teams, regardless of conference affiliation. Boost up, year to year, the good and competitive teams. So quit trying to prop up Texas in the preseason polls every year for the sake of the guaranteed dollar. Instead, make new dollars with new clientele. Market Boise, UCF, USF, SDSU, UNT, UH, LaTech a 1/4 of what they market UT, OU, Ohio St, Bama, etc. And a new fan base grows exponentially
  4. This is crazy talk. Take care of us, don't worry about them.
  5. No, just like it's not his fault that we haven't had a player drafted since 2004 or that we got drubbed by FAU twice last year or Troy, but he's quick to add subtle shots about all the above whenever he's afforded the opportunity.
  6. No, what's embarrassing is how/why Brett continuously looks for ways to publicly shit on this program. That's embarrassing. I'm embarrassed for Brett.
  7. Welcome to the site
  8. Pick 6. It was awesome.
  9. They recruit well on the OL and DL and will always compete and maintain that competitiveness due to that. They are not just a brand, but a solid program with almost some form of constant success.
  10. The wife of a good buddy of mine that I grew up with insisted on getting tickets for us all. She just informed me that she got club seats for us for the game. I'm excited to be going but I wanted to sit with the Mean Green faithful and chant North Texas as the clock dwindles.
  11. I sit endzone, and it's easily the best angle to view play development. Some of Mason's throws are unbelievably.
  12. And they need to turn that crap down.
  13. Not sure on what Adaway did, but he plays for the current #1 ranked team in state in North Little Rock. NLR played Booker T Washington out of Tulsa, OK last Friday and won 29-28. They have Evangel out of Shreveport, LA this upcoming Friday.
  14. The pick wasn't late, it was in the first Q. The run game was stymied because smug and the dyke coach chose, for whatever unforseen reason, to go a run first defensive approach. I'm sure the mindset was to get to Fine as well, but it didn't pan. Fine picked those 12 letter cusswords apart all night. Horrible game plan. To benefit the run game, I hope we get some east/west action in the coming games. We're gonna need to be able to bust some runs vs Arkansas in 2 weeks. The windows will be slightly smaller and Fine's time will be minimized. If we can get em guessing, this will be a stupid dangerous offense.
  15. And has 0 wins. And they have Arky this week and Florida the next.
  16. Damn, @MeanGreenTexan not only just about bullseyed the score, his synopsis was literally spot on.
  17. Defense stole the show. Front 7 looks fresh and rejuvenated. Putting Young out on the edge has made a difference.
  18. Bravo! Great night
  19. Walk up is easy 10k including students, easy.
  20. Explosive is a stretch. Had it not been for 1-11 Rice, their season high would've been the 43 points vs your UNT Mean Green. But that's no surprise, most teams we played had their 1st 2nd or 3rd highest offensive output on the 2017 season. A pretty good Ohio defense held UAB to 6 points. We don't need to be pretty good in any of our games to win outside of Arkansas. We need to be serviceable.
