I don't care who mandated the change in defense, but I'm glad it was finally done. This team is better for it, and is quickly moving up in perception. I believe the defense will only get stronger as they become more comfortable. Proud of the effort and results from Saturday against Tulsa.

If we don't go back to Caponi's defense... Tulsa 13 North Texas 52 If we do return to Caponi's defense.... Tulsa 34 North Texas 38

The PA is so loud it drowns out everything. The band can't even be heard. At the Wyoming game the student section tried to get the "North" "Texas" chant started, but the PA killed it. 27,000 fans (okay, maybe 24,000) didn't get to enjoy the full game experience. When are fans have the opportunity to get loud they can get very loud. See "the Stand" against Rice. Or the North Texas chant against UTEP. We need that level of fan engagement at our games, not an overly loud PA.

Big crowd and a good win. The defense looked impressive in the second half. Can't wait for Tulsa next week.

What is the board's opinion about where North Texas stands in this round? Just wondering what y'all are thinking.

I see a North Texas win tomorrow. Wyoming 28 North Texas 34

This rebuilt PAC will be the strongest and most valuable G conference, which in turns will lead to earning the 5th auto-bids most years and enhanced media exposure. North Texas would be stupid not to join if offered. Just think of what the AAC will become once they lose the programs and markets the PAC is targeting.

I've spent most of the afternoon trying to find a positive from today's embarrassment, but can't. Why do our boys always sh!t the bed. And I'm not just calling out the players. This is a systemic problem with our athletic department. Texas State lost this week too, but at least they were in their game until the end, and they beat the crap out of UTSA this season too. He could be our coach right now. Think about that for just a minute.

I actually own one of those hunter green 2004 helmets.

I love the Stone Cold celebration. They should play it live on the video board with Austin's theme music playing in the background. Then after it's finished cut to a recorded video of Stone Cold in a Mean Green jersey saying, "Open a can Mean Green!"

I love the idea of bringing the worm back. I'm not a huge fan of the winged helmets. They look too much like Oregon. But, I'm against returning to NTSU. The more letters in your abbreviation, the more small time you look. Remember the SCLSU Mud Dogs?

Not the way I expected to win, but with all the transfer players from TCU, OK State, and Baylor, I suspect SFA is a much better FCS team than most. 2-0 is still 2-0. And Texas Tech didn't do anything in their loss that makes me think we can't compete with them next Saturday, if we can get a little healthier.

I like that we are back to a traditional look.

SFA 27 North Texas 63 Morris and the WRs carve up their FCS defense... Mostly in the first half. And with a few returning secondary players, our defense plays better, only giving up a few big play TDs.

It's nice to start the season with a "W" on the road. The passing game looks down right insane. The running game was respectable, but could be better. Defense was much better in the second half. And I have hope that with the return of starters in the secondary, we might see even more improvement in the coming games. Also, I watched Texas Tech and Wyoming Saturday night, and both look very beatable.

The whole production sucks. Bad camera work. Too often the action isn't even in the frame.

It's very discouraging that our defense is still trash. It's even worse when I think that we also have 3 defenders out today due to recently being incarcerated. I don't see that side of the ball getting any better during halftime, so the offense needs to be near perfect in the second half or we will lose this game.

I'm not drinking the green Kool Aid this season, but I do have a good feeling about this game. We'll find out soon if we won the "Portal Lottery".

Marshall did a fair job of renovating that trailer.

I think we all want to see our team get off to a fast start on offense and defense. If the defense swarms to the ball early, I think that will be a good sign. I'm also hoping Morris gives our big-leg kicker a shot at one of those 70+ yard field goals he's posted on X. Not that I want us to need such an attempt. I just want to see him try it in a game.

I agree, we looked terrible to start last season. But, I think Morris has too much pride to field another team that will start that bad again. And, USA is breaking in a new coach.

I have never been to a physician that had a UNT medical degree hanging on their wall, and sadly, I don't know of anyone that has.

The Heath Science center in Fort Worth is not a real medical school. We don't graduate surgeons and operate a working hospital.

Ha! Yeah, I got distracted and didn't finish before hitting the submit. UNT 38 USA 34

There were things I hoped to see this past off-season, like a new DC, a heavy influx of defensive talent, and a defensive scheme that fits our personal. We didn't get most of that. 6-7
