I just don't have any confidence we will win this game. I think we will beat Temple however so we will get to a lessor bowl again. I just hope we don't have to play either Texas State or UTSA as they will manhandle us.

I tend to hope so. Eric seems to have eroded the trust he originally had in terms of his decision making skills.

This is pretty much spot on. I was coming here to post my disappointment and after reading your post I decided just to echo your sentiments. Sad days for UNT fans.

Just a very sad night.

I think that was his nickname from Coach Leach.

Why would Morris not take the 3? Why did the defense take a timeout that benefited UTSA and allowed them to score? This coaching staff is truly struggling. Sad to watch!

DM Mee too!

Indeed, it seemed at times like North Texas wanted to out-Army the Black Knights. The Mean Green attempted a minimal number of deep shots, settling instead for short throws that resulted in a bare 5.8 yards/pass. They also went for it 5 separate times on fourth down, converting 3 attempts in impressive fashion. In taking what Army’s defense gave them, their first drive went a whopping *18* plays in just under seven minutes. That was great in concept, but as noted, Army only gave up a field goal off that first drive. The Black Knights then countered with their own 9-play drive that went for a touchdown, followed by a 14-play drive that netted no points but ate up damn-near the rest of the first half. When the Mean Green’s first possession of the second half went three-and-out, it meant that they’d held the ball for all of 38 seconds in the third quarter. Their offense sat on the sidelines for over thirty minutes of real time! North Texas did a nice job countering Army’s triple-option, forcing an interception, a fumble, and a punt. They kept Army’s explosive plays in check, making the Black Knights earn it one play at a time. However, they ultimately gave up 4.6 yards/carry. That final tally didn’t do a lot to get Army off the field. The Black Knights wound up going an outstanding 9/14 on third down and 3/3 on fourth down. With that, they held the ball for almost 42 minutes total. Time of possession might not be the be-all, end-all of college football, but when the other team is holding the ball, and they’re also scoring touchdowns, it becomes a problem. North Texas couldn’t get off the field on defense, and they also couldn’t score. By comparison, Army’s defense forced exactly one punt, but they stood tall in the red zone three times, once with an amazing goal line stand that started at their own 1-yard-line and twice by generating interceptions from something like 10 yards out. read more: https://www.asforfootball.com/2024/11/10/quick-thoughts-army-shuts-down-north-texas/

Women’s Basketball Victorious in Exhibition The Mean Green shot 70% from the field in the 98-48 win DENTON, Texas – The UNT women’s basketball team took care of business with a 98-48 win over Midwestern State in its exhibition contest Wednesday night inside The Super Pit. The American Athletic Conference Preseason Player of the Year, Tommisha Lampkin, led the way with a game-high 17 points on 5-of-5 shooting from the field. Lampkin’s efficiency was a small sample of the night for the Mean Green, who converted 70% of their shots from the floor and went 9-of-12 from deep as a team. “I thought that our first time taking the floor we did a lot of good, but there is a lot we have to clean up,” head coach Jason Burton said. “We shot the ball the best we have shot it in a game since I have been here from the floor overall and from 3-point territory. North Texas had four other players join Lampkin in double figures with Jaaucklyn Moore and Kyla Deck both recording 15 points, Jaelyn Talley adding 14 and Ereauna Hardaway scoring 11. Moore and Deck combined for seven 3-pointers on the night, and more impressively doing it on eight attempts. Freshmen Gwendlyn McGrew and Chania Price each added a 3-pointer of their own as well. Three of Moore’s four triples on the night came in the first half as she helped spark a 14-3 run in the second quarter to build a comfortable 45-22 lead. UNT locked down Midwestern State defensively late in the quarter holding them scoreless for over five minutes until a layup with 14 seconds remaining made the score 50-26 at the half. The Mean Green continued the rout in the second half, outscoring Midwestern State 48-20 over the final 20 minutes. Despite turning the ball over 26 times, North Texas still held an advantage in the category by forcing Midwestern State into 32 miscues that resulted in 33 points for UNT. “I think you can see how good we can be if we take care of the basketball,” Burton said. “I thought Midwestern State was scrappy and we weren’t tough enough today. If we clean up our turnovers and toughness, there is a high ceiling with this team.” UNT will return to The Super Pit Monday, Nov. 4when it hosts Alcorn State in the regular season opener. Monday’s festivities will also feature a banner ceremony pregame to recognize last season’s AAC regular season championship and WBIT appearance.

Sorry to see that he may be in trouble bow at WVU. A lot saying he should have moved on Neal Brown sooner but as we know that is not his easy going style. Keep him and his family in your prayers.

Yup

Paywall unfortunately as I really wanted to absorb it.

He graduated

Always appreciate you guys!

Well if we had more NIL money to spend we could get all kinds of good players. Why can’t we raise more football NIL money should be the logical question.

Good win!

I definitely see us heading in the right direction offensively. I think the defense is a work on progress. It may never get better since we don’t have a good football NIL.

Memphis gets a lot of their NIL from Fed Ex. Denton has very little businesses like this we can expect help from. Denton businesses have always been very hesitant to help UNT in my opinion.

Outstanding post! Give what you can. If you can't or don't want to then don't and still have fun but just don't expect too much.

Absolutely or it will kill their sport!

I have to admit this one hurt almost as bad as last years Memphis loss which was very painful.

It did not paywall me. Amazing how much they pay these guys. And some on here bitch about NIL paying players?
