Meangreen Fight

Because we play teams that have a clue. Not even good teams, just teams that make it almost impossible to win with self inflicted mistakes like Wyoming. We are wasting another good QB season with Caponi.

They didn't have one positive play that whole drive. What did they average 5 yards per snap?

Nice (dramatic) opening drive. Let's see the defense hold up and I will be more confident than I am for most road games

Most casual fans don't understand the slimy anticompetitive mafia like business of revenue college sports. I find it ironic that when a few players get a more fair share of the economic pie that is the bridge too far for long time diehards. Most alumni came to the school for an education in spite of other school with better athletic programs. And unlike TCU and SMU, their parents probably did not have funds to give their college graduate a head start financially so that by the time they are 30 they have 10k of disposable income to throw at college athletics. The program has been bad for most of my life. And the City of Denton has always wanted to be more of a bedroom community than a college town. I really didn't know how unfortunate that was until I spent time in college towns. Denton of 25 years ago was almost hostile to North Texas Athletics

Way too early for bowl location speculation. Hell the playoff is still on the table for us if we run the table. And if all the higher ranked G5 lose more games than we do on the way to a AAC title we still might get in. Don't get me wrong I won't scoff at being bowl eligible but I want an AAC title game appearance to get excited about post season football. Far more people will watch that AAC title game than a random mid-week Bowl Game that may not have existed before rivals like UTSA joined FBS.

Is that what they told you? Sports Extra if I wanted it. Love how streamers getting in on adding stuff people don’t want like the defunct Longhorn Network. 🤑😂

Halloween is a good snap shot. TCU isn’t good this year. Bowl eligibility is the ceiling for them in all likelihood. I would bet they don’t make it.

Okay. Where is the ACC Network? Not apart of my regular Cable TV package. And as a guy from the Texas and the Central Time zone I am not chomping at the bit to see Boston College vs UConn…. Oh wait UConn is not in the conference but Cal is? And the valuable teams in the conference can’t wait to distance themselves from association with SMU. Lawyers exploring options on how do it as we speak.

A deer friend if mine told me about those news stands. He said they seem in neighborhoods great tasting cheap food but apparently the food is very bad for your health.

Yet you know our schedule better than I do? Make it make sense. I would never visit a SMU, TCU, Texas Tech, or TAMU board in any season when we weren’t on their schedule. Popularity doesn’t mean you have a quality team on your schedule. Talking heads and Vegas odds makers are just selling product with their rankings & odds. We see upsets like Norte Dame getting knocked off by Northern Illinois every season. The upper echelons of SEC & Big 10 avoid playing the better G5 programs like the plague. Then hype beating the mediocre members of their conference that get beaten by them. More fans nationally probably always want to see Cowboys teams slightly below 0.500 than an undefeated Seattle team but that doesn’t mean the Cowboys are better. 🙄

This conspiracy theory just highlights how irrelevant this entire discussion is. Only the leadership of Pac 10 and SEC have power the financial power now. And I would tap the brakes on the ACC imploding before 2028. Unless ESPN and Fox just want to give away some money they don't have to. SMU fans aren't packing stadiums at Tulane and Memphis. And a game against SMU does not get fans of those teams to TV in a greater numbers than any other game against a decent G5 team. SMU is arrogant but not that arrogant. Unfortunately we are the only program that values getting to play games against them and MAYBE UTSA.

I would be a hypocrite to vote negative on tough a critic of Mean Green Football. That being said I think good teams be mediocre and bad teams. They need to play better for the whole 60 minutes against better teams left on our schedule. But I don't see a G5 team on our schedule that will be ranked when we face them either. This team us capable of beating any team not in the top 25.

DFW area football culture is front running. As the sports culture in general. People forget the only reason that meat gazing owner could afford to buy the team was that it was losing money. Not having a losing season for a decade was not enough to keep a few home games being blacked out locally because they sucked. So there is some hostility among UNT alumni towards a program that never wins big. And a lot of them don't understand how CFB works. I am sure the AD would love to have a out of conference schedule rotation of playing Texas Tech, Texas, A&M, Oklahoma, OSU, Houston, Arkansas one those 7 teams every year. And they probably would settle an away and "neutral field" (at Jerry World) arrangements with Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and A&M. Those "blue bloods" don't want to do that because eventually they will lose a game and maybe some team depth to us via transfer portal later as fallout. You see a guy like Morris having fun lighting up the scoreboard against your team while you are 3rd string at Big Stuff U watching thinking "coming out of high school I was better than him", the step down doesn't seem so far to get playing time.

Slow down. I think I am probably one of Seth's most consistent and toughest critics but this question is being asked far too soon. I will say Chandler Morris is likely the best QB of the modern era. You could grade on a curve and say Fine had less talent around him. He definitely is more physically talented. Morris should end up with 4000 yards passing with +32 TD. And he might flirt with 70% completions for the season. Reach those numbers Morris should get drafted in the bottom 1/3 of the NFL draft. And maybe even higher if we get into the playoff and the offense makes the game interesting against a big brand school. If we end up in the conference title game or in the last game if the regular season with a greater than 30% chance of getting in the title game, I would take this team over any of Seth's teams. This team is poised to be in the conversation as best team since Dickey's best team. (Landscape is so different now you can't call Dickey's team, modern especially the offense. Just way too early to make that assessment.

He might see it as a step backwards, but I would love him back here as QB coach. I hope Morris is promoted out of here or at least has an assistant poached for the big time and having replacement already on staff very familiar with Denton, UNT and the surrounding area would be priceless.

Defense is doing their job. Not great but definitely good enough to win. We could not say that 2 weeks ago. This effort a would have made the Tech game look a lot better. Slow down on the criticism of the defense until the offense looks like they can score please.

They don’t show up well in person either. The uniforms are bad. Sorry love my team but that is the truth. I think our marketing team is either visually impaired or do all their designs on oil canvas. I am sure with the best artist in our art school they look great on canvas. In real life, no.

In high school were QB Center exchange isn’t as automatic at upper levels, I can somewhat see the not changing it if you don’t have under center variations for most plays designed to get no more than 7 yards. Otherwise moving the backwards on 4th an inches is stupid.

Black uniforms fad at North Texas has jumped the shark. I been more open to it than most fans over 35 but sheesh the band looks like it is from a third party school. These are just as hideous as the ones Dickey put them in when you add these black helmets with script “North Texas” that I can only guess they say North Texas 11 rows up. 🤦🏽‍♂️

I think the flow of the game impacted those rush numbers also. It would have been very interesting if Wyoming didn't kill their first drive of the second half with a big loss on a fumbled snap. They followed that up with a punt that might as well been a turnover, field position wise. And offense kept the pressure on by scoring.

Hard to disagree with anything you suggested or critized. I would love to see the Alumni Pavilion expanded and made into venue organizations associated with UNT or Denton could rent out for events that aren't official Alumni Events. A venue that lettermen and former coaches would want to come for anniversaries like the ones we had for 2004 and 1994 teams.

Meanwhile for all you people waxing nostalgic for Seth in other topics... OC Littrell's offense lighting it up in its SEC debut. Averaging 3 points a half. 😆

Mark my words. That was drive 1 without points. They do that 2 more times we lose. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Man now this defense has Mean on Green forum violence. Caponi has to go to insure fan safety. 😂😂

Well like I said before they already missed getting a huge gain beating an early down run blitz. They only have to beat it once to get 7. They beat it again for a 40 yard+ TD Wyoming in this game to the very end minimally. Hope we hold them to 34, if not it's a stessfull. I think we score 40 minimum.
