Considering the fact that everyone seems to think that we are not a young team....... we are an inexperienced team.

But more so..... Our depth is THE BIGGEST reason for concern. Defense in particular.

We have a lot of new injuries coming in. And a lot of people saying that these new guys haven't been on the field..... Let's hope that the minimal depth we have is enough to prove that Mac can recruit well AND HOPEFULLY WE KEEP THESE GUYS CLEAR FROM INJURY the rest of the season.

There are a multitude of our guys that are absolutely in a world of pain at 23 years of age. Also consider that when you talk your trash. This is not the NFL.

Mac said at the beginning of the year the biggest question is if NT could backfill and prove they have surpassed the hump with recruiting. With his latest admission that the team has less talent and its recent performance, we're all staring at the answer we were hoping to avoid. If you're implying it's more injuries than anything, I'm hoping you're right....

This has everything to do with recruiting, or lack thereof, if we are struggling with depth who's mothafu*kin fault is that?!?!?! Our coaching staff blows, point blank. And I've been stating this since I've been following North Texas (since McCarney has come on). I can only imagine what you poor folks have went through since most of you are advocates of this joke of a coaching staff. Dude is a loser. There is no nice way to say it.

We've already discussed the mystery exodus that is classes 2011 and 2012. Are we seeing a similar trend from the 2013 class, or is it intact?

The 2013 class is mostly intact. That class we only signed 14 high school kids, so it was pretty small. Only one of those high school kids has left. As I've said before, not all offers are listed on every kid's recruiting profiles, but the only players from that class whose profiles listed more than 1 other FBS scholarship offer, besides their offer from UNT, were Fred Scott, Syd Moore, Darvin Kidsy, and Chad Davis.

So a small class, and most either had no other scholarship offers or just 1 other offer (according to their recruiting profiles). This group is pivotal if we are to have any shot at having a rebound year next year.

I agree with SSP...our defense is banged up...If you were in Birmingham, it was obvious to see.

So you are talking about a group of guys who are in a lot of pain and who are not very mobile,

who are being told that they are not talented and I see no evidence of positive motivation.

These kids wanted to be at UNT...our roster is not going to change between now and the end

of this season. I hope someone can help these kids keep it together.

Another reply to this: I have a sliver of hope that, as long as our classes stay in tact, Mac can make this team competitive. In the long term my expectations will be higher, but right now I want to grasp for something that will make me believe it can rebound from this season.

You are correct: 2013 class is very pivotal.

I have been following you since you started really posting a few months ago and you can't post anything without using inappropriate language and calling this coaching staff, the best and most inexperienced since the 70's. I am starting to realize why long time posters grow tired of this place and stop posting.

My posts were blunt and out of hand. I should have practiced the 24 hour rule. I don't take away what I said, just how I said it.

And quit following me around on here, weirdo.

And quit following me around on here, weirdo.

I wonder how many football players have sent you this same exact message via twitter...

I don't stalk players, ever. Haven't been on twitter since the boneheaded decision made by one of our players in the offseason. So if you're looking for an answer I would say 0.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
