Speaking of money....we'll lose money traveling to just about anywhere other than HOD.

No we won't.  CUSA pools the payout and covers everyone's costs.  If there is anything left it is distributed, but there usually isn't much left.

If this team loses to UTEP they should turn down any bowl invite.  This is not a post-season caliber defense (or offense for that matter).

El Guapo is confused... You want to turn down a bowl game because ridicule might hurt your feelings? El Guapo had no idea so many of you needed safe spaces.

Turn it down. This team is improved, but does not deserve a bowl.

Why... so someone like a 5-7 UCLA can take it? 

 

FOR ONCE the NCAA has a rule that doesn't unfairly disadvantage G5 teams vs P5 teams.   We are getting slotted in front of P5 teams because we did better than them in the classroom.    If we turned a bowl invite down another 5-7 team would take it, maybe a P5 team... what sense does that make.

The knee jerking from this fan base is incredible.  When we beat Army everyone was convinced we would win CUSA, now we shouldn't even go to a bowl game that we worked hard to qualify for.

I'm thankful a pragmatic level headed guy like The Wren™ is in charge.

From all that money the conference got on our TV deal ?

God forbid UNT ever catch a break. All you ever hear on this forum is how UNT continually gets "jobbed".

The one time they don't get jobbed and actually qualify based on the rules, and folks want to bitch about it.  Ridiculous .

It would be tough to not accept a Bowl invite that you got because of your work in the classroom. Not sure that sends a good message. 

I like the message getting rewarded for APR sends. 

Plus I get to watch another MG game. It's depressing during bowl season when we're not included.

Oh so if people feel like:

A.) There are too many BS Bowls added to College Football in the first place

B.) That a sub-mediocre record is not acceptable (while it is a great improvement over last year) 

C.) That "grades" shouldn't be getting teams into said too many extra Bowl Games

D.) That winning or losing in one of these scrub bowl games is hardly going to be a major factor in swaying recruits' decisions to commit to us.  Go ask how many committed truly because of beating a crappy UNLV team in the HOD. 

Then we are bitching?  It's about standards and what you are trying to tell these guys as a unit and as a team.  That less than mediocre SHOULD NOT get you into a bowl game. Extra practice is greatly needed but I am not sure it outweighs the negative message you send to them by celebrating a sub .500 year.

Naw. This is disgusting. Absolutely pitiful. I am absolutely not sold on tgis team or staff. We CONTINUOUSLY let shit teams look good. And these bozos talking about Littrell getting national coach of the year by getting "this team to 5 wins" should be kicked off the radio team. We're playing mothafucreaking UTEP and getting blasted. This performance alone somebody on that D staff needs to go.

Whether we deserve a bowl invite or not, this game sucks and I'm disappointed we didn't play better with a .500 record on the line. We are an average CUSA team at best.

With all respect to the team...these are a bunch of nobody's. Our top talent coming in is what...Alabama's 3rd string bench warmer?

Winning anything with them is a blessing. Winning 5 is a miracle. Getting them into an APR bowl game probably will end the universe short of it's own heat death.

 

Those awful TV movies about underdogs winning the game? that's us now. And we won 5. with nobody's. But 6-6 would have been really really cool.

This is really a ridiculous topic.  Get an invite?  Take it. Period.  The team played well all season, better than expected.  Take it.  Injury and suspension cost us this last one. Take it. Academics are great. Take it. Seniors have been through hell. Take it.  F'n take it and stop whining.

293 yards for their running back...so far

Anyone who thinks recruits will sign because we went to a lower tier bowl game are deluding themselves.  

There are VERY FEW bowl eligible teams that I would pick us against.  We will be 5-8 when it's all over.  

Extra practice time, and extra practice time alone, will be the benefit of a bowl if we go to one.

Yeah, it's bitching.

35k

In my opinion... losing at least 52-24 to what was a 3 win UTEP team to finish 5-7 shouldn't earn you an extra 35K. Plus we lost to UTSA. I'm still pissed about that.

      Vito kicking UNT in the nuts again

      Vito is lost in sports writer hell. He lives by the standard that it is the job of sport writer to be neutral. I imagine he is as tired of covering NT as a lot of NT fans are tired of his coverage. He is lucky in a way that the DRC is still one of the few newspapers that still exist. He has won a lot of awards, not only because he is a competent writer; but there is little computation.

      2025 Projected Depth Chart

      I know this is still subject to change, but with a lot of transfers signed I figure we have enough to get a pretty good idea on what our depth chart will look like next year. This includes all scholarship players and walkons who are in the depth chart. Did my best guess based on Sam Houston’s positions listed on their defensive depth chart (12 spots based on the packages) and where our guys were listed, as well as their guys who we are bringing over. Took some best guesses with guys who weren’t in the two deep/newcomers. Save your comments about how the transfer portal sucks and this could change so much between now, etc. That was always the case this many months out, but we have a pretty good idea based on the guys who actually play or we are bringing in. The bottom of the depth chart guys leaving is expected but doesn’t really change things. Asterisk indicates newcomer: Z - JR Landon Sides RS FR Kyle Koch RS FR Mason Ferguson *FR Tyler Smith Y - SO Miles Coleman X - *SR Cameron Dorner RS FR Baron Tipton H - SO Wyatt Young JR Dalton Carnes LT - *RS SR Jimto Obidegwu RS SO Keon Johnson RS FR Christian Pettway FR Jordan Reasonover LG - SO Braydon Nelson RS FR Paul Gurrola C - RS SR Gabe Blair RS FR Amarion Berry RG - RS JR Johnny Dickson RS SO Julio Madero RS FR Matthew Reed RT - RS SR Larry Moore RS SO Desmond Magiya RS SO Isaac Sohn *FR Roberto Rodriguez TE - SO Brandon Young *SR Tre Williams RS SR Xzavior Kautai *RS SO Connor Vaughn RS FR Victor Aderungboye QB - *SR Reese Poffenbarger RS FR Drew Mestemaker RS FR Cash McCollum *FR Chris Jimerson RB - SR Damashja Harris *JR Jayden Becks RS SO Makenzie McGill SO Kiefer Sibley JR Zach Evans RS FR Ashton Gray *FR Caleb Hawkins Defense DE - SR Breylon Charles *RS SO Demetrie Morgan *RS FR Josh Pierce NT - *JR Quincy Wright SO Jayden Williams SR VJ Bronson DT - *RS SR Richard Outland RS SR Fehi Vailea RS FR Jaedon Langley JACK - *SR Briceon Hayes RS FR Zhaiylen Scott *RS FR Will Smith *FR Brayden Knox SLB - RS JR Ethan Wesloski RS SR Chavez Brown *RS SO S’maje Burrell MLB - *SR Trey Fields RS SO JJ Jean-Louis WLB - SR Shane Whitter SO Kabriel Anderson-Dale FS - *SR DJ Warnell Jr JR BJ Allen RS FR Chris Gant SS - JR Evan Jackson SO Quinton Hammonds RS FR Jaydon Smith RS SR Isheem Young NB - *RS SR Da’Veawn Armstead RS SO Taylor Starling RCB - *RS SR David Fisher RS SO Kollin Lewis RS FR Gabe Stroud LCB - RS SO Brian Nelson JR X’Avion Brice K - RS SO Kali Nguma JR Blake Ford RS FR Miguel Arenas P - SR Sawyer Evans SR Seth Ford

      Chris Jimmerson

      So similar to Jimerson's recruitment in that nobody really wanted to give either a scholarship at QB. Thanks for the insight. Colorado just signed ESPN's #2 overall prospect in Julian Lewis at QB. If Lewis works out, how does it benefit either party for Jimerson to go sit on the bench behind a top QB prospect? They also signed one of Jimerson's teammates so clearly they aren't high on Jimerson as it is.
