No, none of our other quarterbacks would be doing any better. And, no, I don't miss DT

Of course YOU don't. But UNT football really really does.

The fact unt90 is calling people out for this is high comedy. It's like Putin calling people out for trying to restart the cold war.

They certainly couldn't do any worse.

Hell, you could do as well.

Also got us to 9 wins and best bowl win ever.

Have a high standard and get there.

I agree with your general sentiment, but as for the game itself, the 2002 win against Cincinnati was probably the best win which was basically against the champion of a "better" conference.

I still think DW is our best option, but he should have been more prepared by the staff earlier in the year. If he had more experience before the Nicholls State game, I'd like to believe this game wouldn't have been a slaughter.

Why? He wasn't physically prepared, missed practices, and supposedly didn't give a great effort to be a starter. I do understand that becoming a father weighs heavy on the mind. I can understand that and certainly don't condemn his priorities. But, I'd want my starter to learn the playbook and be motivated so that he can motivate others. The quarterback has to be the spiritual leader of the team. He can't screw up because it affects the team; or at the very least, the offense. You saw how quickly everyone jumped on Greer.

Although I have no clue what Connor Means might accomplish, I also agree that DW is our best option. He'll have bad days and a lot more good days but he has to learn from mistakes and get back on the horse that threw him. He doesn't need us to make excuses for him.

Yes, very. I will not sit here and lower already low expectations by calling a subpar QB a UNT HOF QB like lots of people already do. He did great in Dallas last year and he should be appreciated for it. But people or at least I don't forget what transpired before that. Again, he benefitted from a good defense and great special teams. He still IMO single handedly lost the Tulane game and arguably the Ohio game last year. The years before that...well, you know.

DT was not a "subpar" QB statistically or otherwise. Besides, maybe we should just concentrate on our QB play going forward, eh? From the QB disaster that I saw today, we could certainly use some improvement in that regard.

3 year starter averages 2400 yards and 1:1. That is below average and quite a bit actually. So he would be nationally subpar. But agreed. The coaching staff need to worry about the current situation, at least a couple jobs are wavering.

According to the comprehensive 2013 NCAA QB stats he was not below average nationally, and he certainly was not average as far as the history of NT QB's is concerned. Enough with DT talk for me. We've got new fish to fry.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.
