They were 0-0 the last two seasons and are sitting at 2-1 this season. Who would they be mad at?

Go check their board towards the end of the season after they've lost to some teams they thought they should beat, or even better look after they have a couple seasons under their belt.

Both have been coaching points of emphasis.  Don't hang your hat on it just yet.

Many UAB fans coming to Denton?

I'm sure that there will be some, but I don't expect a very large turnout.  It's what, around 700 miles?

To put it another way, how many of your guys come here for a road game?  I suspect that the numbers will be similar.  I have not heard a huge drumbeat rallying the clans to get there.  We travel reasonably well to Southern Miss, say, but Denton isn't a day trip, and it's not an easy two day run either unless you take a plane.

Could be.  It looked celebratory to me, like he thought you would capitalize on those weaknesses.

It was actually that your list of problems is also our list of problems.

3rd down, special teams, depth... see any of the 36 UNT vs Iowa Game Threads.

Nod. I spotted that later, but at the time I didn't realize it.  One of those your reporter tells us about UNT and our guy tells you about UAB stories pointed it out.

I think this is really anybody's game.  The team who holds on third down, minimizes turnovers, hits a big play or two, and does not get dumb penalties probably wins... like 90% of football games played.  That's almost as bad as saying the team which scores the most points will win.  It's our first year back and you have more depth, plus UNT is at home, so I have to give you guys an edge based on that.  Get on the wrong side of the above list and that changes fast.

Thank you for stopping by, and best of luck to you guys from September 24th, forward.  I, like many here and around the country, are glad you guys are back.

Thanks.  It's so good to be back.  I was all up in the fight to preserve football, and then to bring it back.  I was standing outside the coach's offices when the players came out crying after the coaches told them that the shutdown was real, and I was still standing outside the locker room when they came out red-faced, crying and steaming mad after President Watts addressed the team.  A lot of us put much effort into getting football (and bowling and rifle) back, and some of us gave very big money as well.

I really couldn't enjoy college football for the last two years.  Watching made me so bitter...  It's good to be back.  We won when our team walked back onto the field a few weeks back.  The record is almost beside the point - but we want the wins too.  Best of luck to you guys (except against us), you seem to be decent sorts, unlike a couple of fan bases I could name.

Happy for you guys.  Good to have UAB back in the C-USA fold for FB.

This reminds me a little of Paul Blake's Journalism report.

Welp. We may be at a loss there.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Look, as for SMU….they’re 30 minutes down the road. You can say “why are we talking about them” they’re in the top 12 playoff. We have to get over it. We’re college football fans. Of course SMU being in the playoff is going to be discussed. But as for their performance….it was expected. They got super lucky with their schedule this year. Just like Indiana. If you plugged Memphis or Tulane in their spot, they would’ve done the same thing. Their QB is no better than most QBs we faced in the AAC this year. Our QB was as good as him. That’s just the truth. so they were a really good AAC team this year that got a super lucky schedule in a bad conference. I don’t hold anything against them for that. BUT We can’t really discuss them for much longer because the current college landscape is set up to make them a national powerhouse. They have a good coach. He is. And he got them in the national discussion. And they can take that with their money and go on an unbelievable run. Their QB won’t be here next year. Of course he won’t. They’ll pay a better one. Their NIL will dwarf every team in the ACC. I would bet their NIL will be top 10 in the country. Maybe top 5. They’ll have more $$ available than Bama. Arguably UT. What do they need? 4 star DE? 3 top OL? QB? 2 WR? There’s no cap to what they can pay. So we have to move on from SMU. They will be in the playoff a lot. So of course we’ll talk about them because they’ll be in the playoff. But we have to get over it. Are they scum bags? Yes. Of course. They have too much money and they will win. The landscape has changed. And they will succeed because they can pay. We have to hope we break off and do our own thing

      Morris Announces Defensive Staff Hires

      My post was sarcasm. Not only would they have to install a new system, but as I said, they would have get to know the players as well. It’s ridiculous to think it should be done or even could be done.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      A Big 10 vs SEC invitational College Football Playoff is of no interest to me. This will be the 2nd time Tennessee and Ohio State have played in their history. The Clemson vs Texas game will be their first matchup EVER. That to me highlights the absurdity of the out of conference scheduling for the bigger brand teams. And if Alabama went up to Penn State and got blown out exactly the same way nobody would mention it next year when they are in consideration for a wildcard spot with 2 (or maybe even 3) losses.

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      No doubt a lot of the institutions are very greedy but the players are doing their damned best to catch up on the great factor as quick as possible and they are making up for lost time. Say what you want about who's responsible, but when your transferring three to four times you are greedy. So you can blame everyone they are equally at fault but don't think for a minute that 90% of the players give a damn about what's best for the game just as the university presidents are hypocrites in the fact that they let this run so far out of whack.
