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

I don't know what the direction of our program is at this point.....

But I'll add....I think you gotta stick with Dajon the rest of the way.

Does he have something or doesn't he.

That's what I want to watch the rest of the season.

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.

This season is over.

Not sure what needs to be done at this point. But the very thing that Mac criticized coming into this program about what was done prior to his arrival, he has done.

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

Rant on. I agree. It's BS. We need better and tbh deserve better. Something must be done. This could seriously be a G5 Mecca, but administration is content for whatever reason. RV needs to start sweating bullets.

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.

      Softball Announces Schedule

      Excited for the season. We all know we just lost the most impactful senior class in softball's history this past spring, and our offense had already been regressing since that 2022 run to the Stillwater regional. I don't see fall game stats, so I have no idea who is supposed to be our power threat this year. Maybe the transfer from Tulsa? Madison Conley also hit two dingers in limited opportunities her freshman year. We seem to stay loaded at the pitcher position, but I want to see who can hit. As for the schedule, great slate. Eight power conference opponents (2 home, 2 away, 4 neutral). Baylor has invited us back to their tournament. It seems like we were always good for a Baylor victory in Waco for a few years there. And good to see at least one of UT Arlington's programs isn't afraid to schedule us... although they felt the intimidation factor @untcampbell, @FirefightnRick, @bstnsportsfan3, @AleAlejandro21, @Jared, and I brought to Arlington last season and decided to schedule us for 1 p.m. on a Thursday in their own tournament. Looks like we're just gonna have to use some PTO hours. Some other travel opportunities of note, we've got a home-and-home with Tarleton. We've also got Tulsa and Wichita on the road.

      You're crazy - SMU's total spend was not even that out of line by SWC standards. The other poster saying SMU was arrogant and hated was correct, and we didn't have the aircover of local media like they do in, say, Austin. Read The Pony Trap for a good view on the size and nature of all the other SWC violations and comparison of the severity of their punishment indexed against their size and media value. So yes SMU was not totally innocent in provoking backlash but paying has been continuous from the 1930's on. Why do you think the big blue bloods hate NIL? They have the most money, they should love it shouldn't they? Their under the table pay infrastructure isn't a competitive advantage anymore especially with free transfers. Can't buy up all the talent and lock it down on their bench. We are in the LEAST money corrupted era ever because it's out in the open above the table. UNT has MORE opportunity to be competitive and get talent than it ever has before. They're out there waiting to give you their commitment. If you pick it up it's yours, if you don't I have no sympathy for you.
