So powerhouse New Mexico State pounded F.I.U 34 to 17 last night. Since we couldn't stop the Panthers run game I doubt we will have much luck against Navy and expect our defense to give up 500+ yards rushing and at least 6 td's.

Other than Temple I don't see another win opportunity on our schedule.

Well hush my mouth! I am chagrined! I missed this article and am happy to see 5 players on our defense mentioned. Having said that, and I don't have any individual stats, I assume they are playing up to their preseason honors. If so, they must be the the only ones. Thanks again for posting this article. It is appreciated!

So someone posted information regarding the number of transfers that Texas State signed this year and because Morris was hired later that he was a step behind the Bobcat's coach in this recruiting vehicle [ I am paraphrasing ]. I asked what was the time difference between the two hires. The next thing I know is that I am blocked from this post, which had been deleted. I can only assume that someone responded to the original post in a manner that was illegal, immoral ,or fattening as the original post and my response to it seemed harmless. Anyone know what happened to cause the original post to be removed? Just asking.

We are a bad team with a terrible defense that was awful last year. We have no preseason all conference picks, so yes, it is a rebuilding process for the next few years.

So I missed first half but stats show LT with 163 total yards,6 first downs, and t.o.p 8:22 , only 2 completions but both for t.d.'s. Whats up?

Different players. Hard to believe but our defense this year is worse than last year, and QB play not even close to being on same level.

This is best comparison that I have seen. It is just beyond me as to how both an incoming Head Coach and Defensive Head Coach chose to basically stay pat on one of the worse defenses in the country last year.

Agreed. And while we talk about the transfer portal being a quick fix there are only a limited number of game changers in the marketplace. It appears that we overall have been on the short end of the stick with this recent recruiting wrinkle while SMU, for example, has thrived in its environment. I used to think its a UNT perception problem,but with the immediate influx of transfers into Texas State under their first year coach I no longer do. The bottom line is that Littrell didn't leave much and Morris didn't add much. I have followed North Texas football since my freshman year of 1961 and this years defense makes last years look good, which I thought was impossible.

Sadder that their team is better than ours.

Parking included?

My observation in college football is that incoming coaches run "their" scheme based upon what has worked best for them in the past and not what would work best with the players they inherit. As a result, while I am extremely surprised and disappointed in our defense history tells me that I shouldn't be.

So in La. Tech hangs another 50 on us, which I see no reason why they won't, it might be time for out D.C. to fall on his sword.

I used to think that Texas did the least with the most in football, although A & M looks like they have replaced them. However when I look at our ROI on $millions UNT has spent on bricks and sticks we are not far behind.

These are not the same guys. They left.

I am not saying we didn't, just that we are only 2 games in with a new coach. It may or may not work out with him but I think he gets at least this season. As for being a fluff piece, maybe you are right.However I had a business for 30 years and have terminated employees , which I don't take as lightly as others.

I am just asking, but does anyone actually think that Mosley inherited any talent here? Any preseason AAC all conference picks? A returning defense better than last years? Littrell didn't leave much behind, which is why he was fired. At the age of 80 I am not excited about a ground up rebuild over the next few years ,which I may never see the conclusion of ,but that's where it appears we are. I know some of us are very frustrated about out disappointing start, as am I, but making a coaching change after only 2 games seems an over reaction. Just an old man's opinion.

Hayden Fry was 5-5-1 his first season at North Texas, 2-7-2 his second, at which time most of us would have demanded that he be fired.

OPPS, I misread. Thanks

Still FIU is 11 point favorite

On yesterday's podcast Trey Smith,who follows the AAC, said that the PAC 2 has not yet given up on keeping the conference alive by adding AAC programs now and MWC later.

You are right. Another senior moment . My bad.

Are you sure? Who did? I must of dreamed it otherwise.

Their it is! If Wren was going to fire Seth it should have happened at the end of the regular season, not waiting until after the bowl game. Buy the time we got a new head coach and staff on board any potential quality transfers were long gone. I mentioned before that I think if Seth had won against Boise he would still be here.

Our home attendance last year was 20,000. Look it up
