I assume @NM Green believes we will win at least one of the next three, become bowl eligible and therefore have 4 more games.

There was a play where Army had the ball near mid-field, 3rd and 5. Receiver was out wide left and our defender was lined up 10 yards off the line of scrimmage! Quick out to the receiver who picked up an easy first down. The TV coverage switched to Caponi, obviously pissed, screaming, "it was 3rd and 5!!" Apparently this was to admonish our defender for not lining up directly across from the receiver and actually defending the pass. Well, it was a little late for that coach. Teams often play like they practice. How often was this game situation reviewed during practice or in the film room? We have some talent on the field, you can see it at times. Not so sure about what's on the sidelines.

When we started 2-0, then we were 3-1, then 4-1, then 5-1? Of course four of those wins were against FBS opponents that are now collectively 11-25 and a now 6-4 FCS opponent. But, 5-1, damnit! Yeah, good times. How is everyone feeling about the UTSA game or a surging ECU? I'm thinking It's a good thing we still have Temple on the schedule.

We got homed at home with some of the officiating, but agreed, this one falls squarely on Eric Morris and some amateur-hour coaching decisions. But, hey, we were the first to get a lead on Army so far this season, so we got that going for us. What a disaster our football program is sometimes.

Just about done with the Eric Morris experiment. We will probably back into bowl eligibility due to a very weak schedule. So frustrating.

It’s the one thing we can always count on.

As far as PIs go, that was a good one to take and ensure it wasn’t going to be a TD.

Yes, my bad. #3!

Screw job #2

Got screwed on the review of the TD.

As @Matt from A700 reported, 3,235 for Wayland Baptist. Sure, it's a tough draw, but after two games in we are trending in the wrong direction and below last year's first two games against UNI and Omaha by a total of 1,262 or 631 attendees per game.

It's that time of year again. For those of us interested in this kind of stuff, here's this season's attendance tracker. The chart is starting to get a bit unwieldy, but I'll probably stick with this for the season. At 3,451, somewhat disappointing on the attendance front as we experienced our lowest season-opener attendance number over the last 4 seasons and down 964 compared to the UNI game last year. We have some ballers on this team and they are going to be fun to watch as they come together as a group. Get to the Pit to see for yourself and GMG!

The 2021 UTSA team would like to have a word.

We have a late game drive hoping to score so we have a chance to try an onside kick in order to setup an opportunity for a touchdown and two-point conversion to force OT. I mean, what else can we ask for, right, right?

According to Meangreensports.com, the schedule has been finalized.... Men's Basketball Finalizes Schedule 11/1/2024 8:27:00 AM | Men's Basketba DENTON — The UNT men's basketball team on Friday finalized its 30-game 2024-25 regular season schedule. The season, which begins on Nov. 5 with a home game versus Evansville at 7 p.m. CT at the Super Pit, features 16 home contests against opponents such as Oregon State on Nov. 25, Appalachian State on Dec. 20, UAB on Dec. 31, Florida Atlantic on Jan. 26 and Wichita State makes its return to the Super Pit for the first time since 1975 on March 3. ...... But has it really been finalized? Thurs. Nov. 21 vs. TBD (7pm)

Is it off-season already? Hahahaha.

I think P4 schools will generally be able to lure players they want away from G6 schools regardless of scholarship status. There will always be unique situations, but I was thinking in the aggregate. If the average roster size is 128 and has to go to 105, that's 23 fewer P4 athletes per team. Assuming 67 or so P4 schools, that's 1,541 athletes that would have previously been on a P4 team that will trickle down to a G6 team. Assuming players 106 through 128 on P4 teams are worthy of being on a P4 team, that's a lot of P4 talent that will be looking for new homes. I realize that not every P4 athlete is better than a G5 athlete...we've seen it ourselves where a P4 transfer is unable to beat out a player already on our roster, but based on the numbers alone, there's got to be some leveling of the talent across the P4/G6 landscape, no?

Maybe I’m missing something. Wouldn’t the roster limit be good for the have-nots as the haves cannot hoard players that will now need to find home on have-nots teams and potentially improve the talent level and competitiveness of the have-nots?

Ouch. Lowest rated game on ESPN2 for the week. We took one for the conference. Queue up the usual excuses.

Sometimes it's just hard to be a fan of UNT. SMH.

We're 5-1, enjoy the ride man...we're 5-2 in forever, stop bitchin'....5-3 is still above .500, we should be happy with that. Look, no one is giving up. Everyone here has green blood running through their veins. We all want our team, our coaches and our players to be successful. The team definitely has some fight in them. The last HC had taken us as far as he could and it would take a new regime to get us to the next level and not repeat the mistakes of the past. It was not a rebuild. It was upward from where we were. That was the promise. Unfortunately the warning signs started to show up and have been flashing red for the last season and a half. Morris/Morris is the current version of Littrell/Fine. So I think what you are hearing is a lot of Mean Green anxiety coming to the surface with the realization that it's potentially happening all over again.

Forgot about that one. Didn't really feel like and upset though, did it? Actually kind of embarrassing that we went into that game as dogs. I was thinking more like App St vs Michigan or ULM vs Alabama type of upset. Maybe the Arkansas game @DeepGreen pointed out.

Short term memory (or is it long term) is challenged these days. When was the last time we won in an upset? Was it against a ranked USTA that everyone wants to discount? What was it before that? I guess we just need to play more bad terms. Do they teach how to tackle in Texas high school football? Seems to be a lost art.

Has any university fumbled more than NTU? I have to laugh, I have to cry.

Looks like the tower is due for a paint job. Beat Tulane!
