They may actually beat the Irish tonight. I'm always happy to see a G5 beat up on a P5. Props to UH too for whoopin an SEC school today.

Just a few years ago Temple was so bad they got kicked out of their conference. I wonder what spearheaded the turn around?

I know that was a leading question but I truly don't know the answer. I'm assuming you'll say AD so please just confirm what your were alluding to. Thanks.

LOL. I know most topics end up with RV's ass in a guillotine, but I'm honestly curious as to what Temple did to turn around their football program. I know they landed in a conference quite easily due to their solid basketball history.

From what I read, Temple tried a power play in the old Big East by refusing to make basic upgrades to their football program thinking the Big East won't actually throw them out because their basketball was so great. They were wrong. I'm not sure how they rebuilt their program besides the obvious of getting a coach who was successful at their school. Al Golden is an example of a coach who is very successful at one school only to do very, very poorly at his next.

Al Golden had to bring Miami back from sanctions, and did a decent job of it.  But he lost favor with the fans, and, I think ultimately with his players, when he tried to get the Penn State gig.

I think he lost more favor following a 9 win season with a 6-7 season. This year is ok but certainly not good.

I think it was more or less a snowball thing that began with a little grumbling among fans, later very public calls by fans for his firing, eventual abandonment by his team, which culminated in the Clemson demolition and his firing.

But you're obviously correct that if he were on pace for 10 wins this season, he'd still have a job.

 Sounds eerily similar to someone I know from Iowa. Did you know they have 2 P5 schools in Iowa?

      Agree. Basketball and has been the better product at UNT for many years now. All eyes/support should be on basketball until Mosley figures out how to field a respectable football program.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      AS I SAID THESE LAST 3 GAMES HAVE SETH LITTREAL WRITTEN ALL OVER THEM....6 WINS AND A ASS WHOOPIN IN A 2nd TIER BOWL. AND THOSE THAT BITCHED ABOUT PARKING....DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT FOR ECU. THIS FOOTBALL TEAM IS SCREWED WITH MORRIS AS HFC AND WITH MOSELY AS AD. Just typical NT BS. I don't see how we keep Cobb... There is bound to be a special place in heaven for long term NT football fans. Y'all bitch about DD all you want but his teams usually played to the top of their conference level.

      Two things that standout in the stat lines to me. Time Of Possession: sa had the ball nearly 20 minutes longer than we did. And, 3rd Down Conversion: sa converted 10 of 18 3rd downs. We only converted 2 of 11. Thats devastating to an already struggling defense, time and effort wise. Then you compound wasting that effort by pissing away the easy points afforded you by gambling on 4th downs inside the 30. Maybe our FG kicker has the shanks or something? But to me changing D coordinators isn’t going to fix all of our problems because right now we have no idea how to manage a 60 minute football game, which is Classic Air Raid. Rick

      Yep, and thanks. So, are MSU and UTSA the only 2 ranked opponents we’ve ever beaten? I can’t find a good resource for that info but did hear it announced during the Army game. If so, that’s even more pathetic than I first thought: one win was via forfeit and the other was against a startup program.
