Sooo so so much this. 

I picked 8 wins bc we play in CUSA. Never in my furthest imagination did I think the old staff (as old in their ways as they were) would roll with Mini for as long as he did. He would've kept the train rolling had it not been that HC atrocity. That game may end up being a very disguised blessing. 

And Demarcus wasn't much better. Now you pin your hopes on what you perceive to be a fact that Morris will be much better despite throwing one pass in live FBS action the last 4 years.

Same thing, different year for you (and most others, just using you as an example). 

I get it. Everyone wants hope. And I hope you and the rest are right this time. But with 68 scholarship players, I think this year is going to be a monumental struggle.

Hopefully some young pieces to the puzzle are found to build around.

As a former AD employee, it doesn't surprise me that you don't understand what laziness is and isn't...

Pretty useless post. It's a week before the season and everyone is plastered drunk on the green koolaid, thinking an offense can magically perform on its own without talented players (not that UNT doe

Or that both UTEP and UTSA are road games and UNT has been a TERRIBLE road team the last several years. Or that we don't have a kicker that can make a 41 yard field goal consistently, if at all.

I think we grossly overestimate the quality of our conference opponents.  They're not world beaters. 

They don't have to be world beaters to affect our results, they just have to be North Texas beaters.  We've gone 3-13 against CUSA over the last two years, so SL might need a little time to turn this thing around.

Based on 1.5 wins a year in conference play, we can expect 1 or 2 wins.  We had better expect to beat BC.   We can expect to lose to UF.  Army/SMU ... probably do good to win 1 of those.

So somewhere between 2 - 4 wins would be Meh to Good performance.  Getting to 5 would be Very Good performance.  Getting to 6 and we have to figure out how to keep SL once we got over the bowl game hangover.

i think UTEP is beatable, if we are not playing everyone gets to play nonsense.

That UTEP running back is a beast.  NFL draft pick.

Beatable early in the year yes. Late in the year after the lack of depth take its toll maybe not. A physical running team at the end of the year is not a favorable matchup for us, but who knows.

FYI, yesterday vs. NMSU: 31 carries 249 yards (75 long) 2 TDS, 3 rec 43 yards

good day for him.

Our conference schedule is brutal, CUSA has six guaranteed bowl tie ins this year and I think we will end up with all six bowl teams on our schedule:

MTSU, Marshall, LaTech, WKU, USM and UTEP

Not sure why we never get to play Charlotte, ODU, or the F_Us.

I'm sure they'll show up down the road.  You'll have to use your imagination in the mean time.

Come to think of it, you're right. I thought scheduling was arranged so that 1) we play westerns every year and, 2) we rotate all the easterns.

maybe I mistakenly took this from bball schedules.

That might have been the idea but all of the flux in the conference has, I think, made them keep rolling the same schedule.

I think I recall something saying the conference did this to mark time until UAB is back on the gridiron.

7-5, we surprise with our new offense and a real live FBS defense.

Last year I missed by one game so I think we are in for a bowl season my friends.

 

Got the record flipped but you heard it here first.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
