After the last nUTSAc TD, you'd have thought they would go for two and then an onside kick. They did neither. Guess they were just happy to be there.

Thank God, UTSA loses. Don't care about CUSA's perception, we just need to nut up and take care of bizness, screw everyone else.

As much as I like to see UTSA lose every game they play by 70 points, conference perception does matter for future bowl tie-ins and television contracts.

A 30 point loss would have hurt perception. A 3 point loss to a team with a better record from a better conference won't hurt perception.

Of CUSA or of UTSA with recruits

New Mexico Lobos roster lists 24 players that come from the state of Texas.  Now someone tell me that they have "recruiting gurus" on that coaching staff than come over and ransack our state for football players?  Maybe these 24 players want to play in a better conference (MWC)?  This pisses me off!

Meh. With or without those 24 players from Texas they would be having a decent year with 24 players from somewhere else. Triple option football is a proven formula to win.

"Better conference" is a constantly moving target. After the 2013 season, CUSA was the top ranked G5 conference and got a higher CFP payout than any other G5 conference. I think the coach standing in the kid's living room has far more effect that conference uniform patches. This year I think the AAC is going to be the top G5 conference. I think, but I'm not certain, that one year the MAC was the top ranked G5 conference and got the top payout.

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      We do alright with the North Texas chant sometimes, we just need to make it a staple and I think people will do it.

      State fans showed up because they rightfully expected to win in this game. If the AD thinks they're going to depend on people to show up just cause NT has a team there, they are dead wrong. There are a few, but there are many many more who will not show up when they don't think their team will win. There are too many obligations and opportunities to devote precious time and money watching a team lose.

      After Morris and Sheffield transferred, how many here were actually expecting to win? Many of us were just hoping TXST didn't handle us like they did UTSA this year or Rice in last year's First Responder Bowl. Sure, it's the head coach's job to have his team ready to play and in position to win regardless of the adversity faced, but it's still incredible the performance Mestemaker had. Tonight was better than any game C. Morris has had since Memphis. Coastal Carolina lost their starting QB to the portal and got dog walked in their bowl game against UTSA in their own building. Yes, the loss increases our bowl futility streak to an active high, and it sucks to lose to an intrastate program in an inferior conference, but that shouldn't take away from Drew's game. The biggest disappointment to me was how badly we were outnumbered by TXST fans. We went from packing the lower level of the Cotton Bowl to being matched ON OUR OWN SIDE. Like our team, our fans also struggle to wear green. However, there should be optimism surrounding next season. Eric made a poor hire with his first DC obviously, but made the tough (but right) call in getting rid of him. Next year's presumed starter will be in his last year of eligibility, so no losing another 4000 yard passed before the bowl game. If we struggle to another 6/7-win season and bowl loss with next year's schedule, I think Eric's seat should be pretty hot again.

      So a lot of you think that NT is not deserving of your valuable fandom. I actually was proud of the team that continue to battle with a completely revamped lineup including a completely untested QB. Yeah and spare me the low expectations accusations that are usually leveled at anyone that dares to not rave and rant about a loss.
