I heard a coach up at the U say "If we win against Portland State, every one of our haters can stick it!"

I'm sure in was in jest, but Really?  If we win against a DII team then we can tell people off...with just one win? 

What say you?  Are we headed in the right direction if we beat Portland State?  Better yet, can you stomach RV and DMac say, "We are not there yet but with the resolve our players showed this week we are headed in the right direction"?  

I say there is only one way out of here and that is up...we are ranked near the bottom of the barrel!  Let's clean house and start over.  Good grief!

This isnt the get back on track cream puff that Nicholls was.

This is "we are going to have to do everything we can to win this game" Portland St.

If they think they are about to walk on that field and win by showing up, well they will have their asses handed to them like 24-3.

The only thing that will happen if we win against Portland St. is the continuation of accepting mediocre coaching, mediocre qb play, mediocre defensive play, and a less than mediocre athletic director. I would never hope for a loss, but if we win this, there is no hope of any change, and definitely no hope for a better season next year. I feel like only a loss at homecoming by an fcs school will force the president's hand, and potentially lead to a regime change.

Hopefully a win will give the players a spark and increase their confidence.

As far as coaches go, Canales is really the only one coaching for a job, so to him I say

Do yourself a favor and shut out Mac and call your game, if you are, in reality, restricted.

The problem for him is that the gloating will last a grand total of 5 whole days before he is slammed back into reality.

What I hear is Dickey revisited: "Us against the world" and haters = MFers.

The seeds were planted last fall and now they are sprouting.

At this point I would not really qualify Portland State as a "lesser team" but I get your point.

Yep, a win against Portland State is pretty much meaningless, unless it somehow starts getting things on track to where we can win some games against actual FBS opponents.

But a loss would be the lowest point of North Texas football since it's return to FBS.

I say, if true and spoken seriously, and I have no reason to doubt either, that we have some very childish and amateurish thinking going on by supposed adults and professionals.

If we do what we SHOULD do. What we should be expected to do, if we take care of business against a team that we should be above? I say congratulations, you did what you're supposed to do, now let's move on 

 

And I want to know what coach said that us "haters" can stick it, because he can kiss my ass.

idk which is more worse.... The fact that a coach is telling his own fan base (the people that basically pay his salary) to stick it.

Or... The fact that they are using a no name FCS opponent win as a great achievement and then to spin it off as a way to justify that they in fact do deserve to still be working here after this season.

I really hope these coaches bull corn isn't infecting our players mentality towards us as haters. This staff is suppose to be these young guys mentors.

I'd enjoy a win vs Portland,mostly because I really don't want to go 0-12. And who knows, with a bit of confidence maybe we can find a second or third win out there this season.

For the players I really want that, and its about all I dare hope for right now, beaten down as the fan base and the team is.

If a win does the program all that much good on the other hand... for the program to really move forward I fear that it probably has to go 1-11 or 0-12 in order for the real changes to take place. Its just, that I cant get myself to root against the players, their time window as players is so short.

If NT beats Portland St. it only means the torture for Mean Green fans continues. The Iowa Lunch Bunch of the McCarney's & McNulty's will continue to be the only happy people within Denton County. Villareal leans back in his chair with a stained wife beater, puffs on a stogie, and counts his stacks of $100 bills laying on his desk.......

What audience was this coach speaking to when the statement was made?   Need a little context behind this.

If you win, coach, congrats!   You just did what we call in the real world "showing up for work on time".

Now it's time to show us something.  Like a win against a FBS team.  Beating an FCS team is expected - not a cause for wild celebration.  If you are expecting the crowd to rush the field and tear down the goal post for a win this Saturday, don't hold your breath.

      If I was Coach Hodge, I would have this blown up and posted in the locker room. I would tell the players that this is what people think of you and we need to go out and dominate every team defensively until people start putting some respect on our name. Then when people do start to put some respect on our name, we need to dominate teams some more to leave no doubt.

      Some are arguing on their board about who's better between Yale and UNT. They really can't get past the UNT loss. I really want to get poporn and make an account just to let them know we've finished higher than MN in NET every year since 2020.

      Caponi fired

      I think this is a cop-out. He’s been doing this crap since the beginning of his tenure. The first memorable time was against Navy last year on the first drive of the game from the 1. If in the 5th game of year 1 he was already feeling like he needed to score every drive because of the defense, that's an even bigger problem. I think not having a reliable kicker or punter is the main problem. He went for the points a few times early this season and it didn't work out. Same with some punts that just don't do a good job at flipping the field. I've mentioned in other threads that special teams has also been a problem. Evans is 89th in the country in average punt yardage. We have to have a short kicker and a long kicker. Who the eff does that at this level? That's two coordinators that Morris flopped out on. I'm just waiting on us to move on from Svobada at season's end. Was looking over his profile and I didn't know but he also has Tight Ends this year. Where have the Tight Ends been lately??
