Default Path to the CUSA Championship

I'll be honest, I'm still really upset over Saturday's loss to Southern Oklahoma Institute of Fine Arts. In fact, to me this is the worst loss in program history. At the very least, it has affected me the most. Usually I shake off losses by Monday but I can't stop thinking about this one. Beyond the way we lost, which was devastating in itself, the impact this loss had on our chances to compete in the CUSA Championship game were crushing. While the likelihood of UTSA winning the West Division is extremely slim now, there is still a path to making it to December 2nd. A lot of dominos have to fall in just the right way but it isn't out of the question.  

The first domino that must fall is we need to win out; one more loss and stick a fork in us. If we do this then we will clear out the first two teams that are ahead of us, La Tech and UAB. Also, this is the only part of our path that we control ourselves now. If we beat them it will give us each two conference losses; however we would leapfrog them by nature of our head to head victories.

This leaves Southern Miss and unt ahead of us. With a head to head victory against us but one conference loss already, Southern Miss needs to lose two more. The most likely potential losses on their schedule are La Tech, UAB and Marshall. If they win 2 of those 3 they also have games against Rice and Charlotte.  

Obviously clearing out unt will require the most magic since they've started 3-0 in conference and they need to lose 3 of their remaining 5 conference games to give us a chance. Their remaining schedule include FAU, ODU, La Tech, UTEP and Rice. While losses to FAU and La Tech would be reasonable, we would also need them to shit the bed against either ODU, UTEP or Rice (who are all terrible this year). This part seems to be the most monumental of all the dominoes in our path. That said, wouldn't it be marvelous for unt to lose to fUTEP, giving them their only win of the season?

So yeah, we need A LOT of help. Is this a pipe dream? Well, I'm willing to concede we're pretty much fucked but I need to hold onto some hope. If everything were to fall into place, it would be equivalent to a 98 yard touchdown drive with one minute on the clock and no timeouts.

*takes a break to sob uncontrollably into my pillow

If somehow things start falling our way, the final pieces could come down to the last weekend of the season (UTSA vs. La Tech and S Miss vs Marshall).

Keep your birds up and Run 'Em.

It wasn't the worst loss in their history but at least the worst one in the last 7 years.

First time I've heard us be called SOIFA. Should I be insulted? Because that was weak.

Bragging about the potential of your coach getting poached to score points is peak-asshat

Most amusing is the fact that their coach is going to way over coach them for the remainder of the season, as evidenced by his post game presser, and that will assure another loss or two for them.

I can't help but pity the fools over at Rowdy Talk. They had so much hope. So much promise. They were next level delusional, thinking they could go undefeated after beating, well... Nobody.

There's still hope for them though. Maybe some of those guys can apply to transfer to Austin after they retake Fundamentals of Computer Typing for the fourth consecutive semester. Keep on keepin' on y'all!

This seems appropriate from a fan base with the intelligence of a 5th grader...

It's a lame attempt at a comeback typical of their insecure fanbase. They should be proud of their community college roots!

Oh well. We can forget about them for another year as they are completely irrelevant in the conference for another year. I enjoyed their pain and suffering following Saturday night.

Ehh.  F*** em.

 

I guess they think this loss was worse than being our one win a couple of years ago, after we had been throttled by an FCS school.

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      Not trying to sound like too much of an ass but I'm starting not to care how it impacts high school kids. Many of these are the same kids that you will give a chance to and then they have a good season after one or two years and leave. So if rightly so they are looking after what is best for them universities should be looking out what's best for them and recruit players who are most ready to step on the field and help them play. PS also have an issue with some of these high school coaches who complain that colleges are not recruiting their kids as much but don't seem to want to bring up the fact that those same kids if they're giving the opportunity will leave a smaller school without hesitation if something better comes along for them.

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      I had heard one opinion that players is eligibility ran out and are no longer in schools could have a recourse to try to regain some eligibility. This is freaking ridiculous.

      Morris Announces Defensive Staff Hires

      Mean Green add four coaches to defensive staff room For more information: Doug Waters, doug.waters@unt.edu, (936) 240-6780 DENTON – UNT head football coach Eric Morris has announced the hiring of four coaches to the staff on the defensive side of the football. The Mean Green have added Reggie Johnson (Inside Linebackers), Greg Richmond (Defensive Ends), Julian Wilson (Defensive Backs) and Ike Eguae (Defensive Tackles) to the staff. “We are extremely excited to add these guys to our defensive staff,” head coach Eric Morris said. “They bring a ton of knowledge, experience and passion to our coaching room. I can’t wait to work all of them as we look to continue to compete for championships here at North Texas.” All four coaches join the UNT staff after spending the 2024 season at Sam Houston working under new defensive coordinator Skyler Cassity. In addition, current Interim Defensive Coordinator Brian Odom will return for a second season. He will now coach outside linebackers and nickels. A 25-year veteran, Johnson joins the UNT staff after coaching linebackers at Sam Houston in 2024, helping the Bearkats finish the season 19th in FBS in total defense. Johnson’s resume includes coaching in 11 bowl games, including trips to the 2005 Gator Bowl, the 2006 Orange Bowl, the 2010 Sugar Bowl and the 2011 Cotton Bowl. Prior to his time at Sam Houston, Johnson spent four seasons coaching linebackers at Missouri State, helping the Bears to the 2021 MVFC Championship and their first appearance in the NCAA FCS Playoffs in 30 years. Richmond also comes to UNT with a wealth of experience with nearly 15 years of collegiate coaching experience. At Sam Houston in 2024, Richmond helped the Bearkats finish 16th in FBS in fumbles forced and second in Conference USA in sacks. Prior to his time at Sam Houston, Richmond was the defensive line coach at Oklahoma State from 2018-22, producing a pair of First Team All-Big 12 defensive linemen and helping OSU rank among the national leaders in tackles for loss three straight seasons. Wilson joins the staff as the defensive backs coach after serving in the same role with the Bearkats in 2024. Under his watch, Sam Houston finished the regular season ranked as the No. 10 passing defense in FBS and led C-USA with 12 interceptions on the year. Wilson was the defensive backs coach at Abilene Christian in 2022-23 and served as a graduate assistant at Texas Tech from 2020-21. Wilson was also a dynamic defensive back himself, spending three seasons (2015-17) in the NFL with the Chiefs, Ravens and Vikings after a stellar collegiate playing career at Oklahoma from 2011-14. Eguae has been the defensive line coach for Sam Houston each of the last two seasons and will coach defensive tackles for the Mean Green. He has helped the Bearkats finish second in C-USA in rushing defense each of the past two seasons. An 18-year coaching veteran, Eguae also had prior stops at Stephen F. Austin, Fort Hays State, Pittsburg State and Coffeyville CC. In his one year at SFA, Eguae coached a pair of FCS All-Americans on the defensive line and helped the Lumberjacks earn a spot in the FCS Playoffs for the first time since 2013. -- GMG --
