What would you do if they locked your ass in the bottom of a stadium two weeks ago, and fed you freaken year old nacho chips and cheese, and had some guys ghost write your column for you?

I would come out spewin venom too......I mean this is the only explanation from in two weeks going from "NT is going to pull the upset and beat Rice" to "It's meltdown time in Denton"

That's what is great about Brett, the consistency.

A university of 37,000 students can do better than what is being produced on the field and on the court.  Surely, someone with a big stick cares...stay tuned to see what will happen.  I don't think Smatrek will endure this much longer.

"The Mean Green desperately need something to go right, and quickly. A win on Saturday at Southern Miss would help a ton. The odds just seem long at this point"

Getting rid of our AD and failing coaches would help even more.

Mac has shown himself to be a snake oil salesman this year. Vito was fed the Mini-Mac is so improved line for too long and that has soured him on Dan. Mac pushed in a lot of chips betting on #5, this is what happens when you miss.

I hope he goes after Benford this year, that has been long overdue.

If McNulty excelled at SOMETHING it might be a different story and there would at least be a little hope, but I'm just not seeing anything that could make him a positive difference maker on the field at this level. I really don't get what Mac is seeing out there.

"I hear from UNT fans quite a bit. I just haven’t sense this much of a sense of hopelessness in a long time."

I'd revise "long time" and say "ever." In the past there were goals such as to get back to D1, get better facilities, get in a better conference, get student turnout, ect. UNT football got it all and failed. So, yes. It's hopeless until they clean house and change the culture.

I'm sure you are making reference to the culture of the athletic department, but our UNIVERSITY CULTURE needs to change as well.

I've said this for years, (actually decades), but our athletic events look like contracted events. All the parties necessary for a football event show up, do their required thing (minimally most of the time) and then go their separate ways after the game, having fulfilled their contractual obligation.......minimally.

Where's the passion? Where's the connection?

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      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.
