This has to be one of the most disappointing UNT losses I can recall

...And I have seen a few of them. The turnovers were a killer but again we cannot stop anyone and just can't adjust. You hoped we were past these type of butt whippings but clearly we are not. `I am not giving up but my enthusiasm about this season has really diminished. The rest of this season needs to be finding out about who can make plays. We need to regroup as a program. Something needs to change -- whatever we are doing isn't working. WE ARE BETTER THAN THIS!!! gmg

Fire Canales. Recruit better. No improvement next year, fire Mac. This BS of sitting by the way side and watching pitiful football is over. We cannot allow this to happen and when a BS season is put together we as fans must demand changes. Changes must be made.

Sorry, but we have bigger Benfords to fry.

This is Texas. Benford could coach here the next 20 years and I could care less if we are winning football games. Football programs out universities on the map, not basketball. Parity is too strong in basketball to create university recognition. Put our money into this football program and raise us up. Start by making coaches changes immediately.

I get where you are coming from, but the power structure in football and the greater access to post season success in basketball makes that a view that is about 30-40 years too old fashioned...

Put in my prediction of 52-31 UAB and people called me crazy. My hopes for this season were dashed last week; this week was just double confirmation. This is not a good football team, and I think after today, a lot more people realize that.

Last week concerned me, this week was the confirmation.

Worst I've felt about the program in a while. There are 117 schools that play at this level, and we're pretty consistently toward the bottom. I'm tired of excuses. It's the commuter school. It's the alumni. It's the geographic location. It's the history of the program. It's where we recruit.

This University has to go out and say we want a Top 25 program. I've never heard them say anything close. If the University doesn't have that as a goal then what the hell are we playing this sport for????? I'll throw basketball in there as well.

We do not have the mentality at the leadership level and it trickles down to every student, alumni, local Denton resident, local business, etc.

They have a mindset of being competitive in our conference. That's it. CUSA is better than Sun Belt but we've still set our eyes on mediocrity.

I'm ranting and I don't care.

Dodges game at Rice...the one they hung 70+ on us...worse

I See your point, but keep in mind that was a 9 or 10 win Rice team that was in a different (read: better) conference than we were when that game was played.

This was a conference foe with a 3-2 record entering the game that included a conference loss to FIU.

I'm think this was worse.

I don't normally, if ever, agree with you, but I'll give you that. You have changed my thinking on this. You're right, this one does suck the most.

I'm sooooooooooo glad I bought tickets to the bowl game last year. During the N.O. Bowl run, I always thought I could go the next year...

Last season I made sure to go due to the fact next year never came for me last time...

sadly...I'm now afraid of how long it will be till I can go again

Losing to a program that people feel is on the verge of disbanding is something that shouldn't be happening now. In sick and tired of taking one step forward only to go a mile in the opposite direction.

Uh yeah, I kept wondering that while looking at a crowd that must have consisted largely of parents of players and band members. Really got tired of looking at some statue that depicted...a trailblazer, I guess.

Basketball has put plenty of schools on the map. Probably just as many, if not more, than football.

      Evansville (11/5/24)

      Massie is basically listed at the same build as both AScott and TBell…our starting PFs for the last four seasons. That’s at least part of the reason I see Massie as a fit at our 4…so much of our defense is built around switching, denying entry and team rebounding…so we’ve never needed 6’8” 250 at the 4. I agree Vice is such a big wildcard. If it’s literally just him and Sissoko sharing minutes at the 5 and giving say 12/12 collectively, this squad could be a monster and legit ten-deep. this level of pre-season speculation is pretty darn fun. We are not have like three dudes on the roster we’re pretty well confident in knowing what they’ll give us…Walker, Sissoko and Stone…everyone else is kinda up in the air. personally…I think Wright is knocking on the door of 20ppg…with Floyd, Josell, Massie all around double-figures…balanced by Walker, Newell and some center combo giving 7-8/game.

      Goal Post Alert

      For the players and coaches, yes. For the student section, nope. They’re kids. Let them make some lifetime memories and rip the goal posts down.

      Memphis's Tyreek Smith Hits Portal Hours Before Opener

      What's happened to APR? Is that still a thing? It used to be that if more than a few players left a football program (much more so a basketball program) without graduating in the same year, it would kill a team's APR.

      Memphis's Tyreek Smith Hits Portal Hours Before Opener

      Have almost given up trying to figure out time lines with college athletes. Tell me how in the world athletes can transfer three or four times and still be on any path to have the proper amount of hours at a school to graduate. It has become a total joke.
