Could we have this said curse please...

Do I get an award for predicting the closest in score? 30-6??

30 mtsu 6 unt

This tv package is garbage.

UNT-6 MTSU-34

The crowds dropped in 2014 from 2013 because WE ALL realized very very early that this wasn't a fun team to watch. It is that simple. From game 1 we realized this was a mess. And by the La Tech game, it was over. there was clearly no interest because only the die-hards would care to come back. I don't blame those fans, who would want to pay to watch the team we have seen the past two years?! It aint rocket surgery.... Wins will fix almost all our ills. And by wins... i mean CONSISTENTLY. not some one-hit wonder like 2013 was when we played the weakest CUSA in probably ever...

I love how Vito will engage the fans with the blog. It is great! Thanks for that. I think the decline in attendance from 2013 to 2014 was obvious that by the half of the 2014 season we all knew it was a lost season. I do think winning will solve most every problem... but, mostly it is consistent winning. The flash in the pan in 2013 is simply not enough for us to get to BSU type numbers. We need to win, and keep doing it for more than just a 13 week time span.

But, it seems that many, many like caliber schools can do it. Why is it not realistic for us?

You do realize there was a third option to have 6 home games and not one of those include FCS, right?

Who on Earth is ok with 5 home games every other year?! The two of you OUT YOURSELF!

Well I thought it was a good dad joke...

I wouldn't be surprised that RV's reputation itself will be his biggest hurdle in landing a good coach. His record aint great people. And, his department seems to shoot itself in the foot.... Just sayin...

I guess UCF wanted some White supremacy.

I am more willing to bet you are sitting corrected. Unless you have one of those new adjustable desks that allow you to work at your desk while standing... I am just asking that you don't blatantly lie to the GMG nation like that. it is rude and unbecoming.

It is threads like these that make me wonder why I keep coming back.

not in one of the big three. Softball has I believe. Tennis too??

That's a good start to someone's head coaching career.

Coach Mac wouldn't have been so discouraged if he was able to recruit and win with his own players. People would have showed up if he had put some wins together. Perhaps, not leave us in greater shambles than Dodge did...

I think you bring up a great point with England. England is actually really bad in international play. They do poorly consistently in the World Cup and Eurocup for a reason. Possession ball like Brazil, Germany, Spain, and Argentina (to a lesser extent) is the way to go. Concern yourself with controlling the midfield with confusing runs, runs, clever through balls, showing to the ball, and having your outlets and drop options always available. We looked really bad yesterday and actually create very very few real opportunities. The ones that were 'created' were sloppy and it would have been only by luck if we put something in the back of the net. Long balls have their place in the game to exploit an over agressive defense trying to do an offsides trap or on a quick counter. But that is UNT's go to. And it looks sloppy. It looks crappy. And really, it is just too easy to defend. Because they get to have unlimited subs, there is no reason to keep to possession ball for any college team. I blame it all on the style. The girls really never showed to the ball and gave options for each other. oh, also clean crisp passing would have helped too. Watching yesterday made me think they were just beginning the season and still working out team chemistry instead of the last game of the season. But what do I know, I have only played the game since 5, been a coach and a ref. :)

Our fans expectations are so low when we lose by 27 and score nothing in the modern football era and are happy with the results. UNT fans are masochists.

I have followed unt soccer since 2000. This is classic hedlund style. It drives me crazy. And if you look at years past, you will see that that I have said this time and time again... his style will NEVER allow us to win a big time game. He has to change his style. The long ball crap is lazy, lacks creativity and is the easiest to defend. Plus, it allows the opposing team to dominate the midfield. And when you dominate the midfield you dominate the game. And what do you know, we are getting dominated. Long ball might work against lesser opponents, but not ones that are decent.

I think I know what you mean... and I am most concerned about how we play.... But, if we can't beat this team exhibition or not, we all should be worried. Really really worried.

Translation: he is not coming to UNT. The best GIF ever.

HA!!!!

I do blame the University hierarchy as well. But for not getting rid of an AD who has consistently under-performed in the area that is most important... A decent college athletics program.
