You know, as comical as UTSA's promotions are (and keep making fun of them fo sho), I can't help but be a little bitter about our own situation.

We are practically giving thousands of dollars away to attend the games and we can't get people in.

I know this is a culture thing, but man we need to figure this crap out.  Win Win Win is what I say.  Win often, and for a long time.

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.

I don't even talk to them when I place my order.  I use the self order kiosk.

Agree.  But also, keep up the promotions as well.   Needs to be a 1-2 combination.   Can't just win often & for a long time, and then wait for people to call (a-la Mandy).

From her San Diego St. bio:

In seven years at North Texas, McKinley enabled the Mean Green Club to increase membership nearly 600 percent, while raising $6.4 million for its capital campaign.


Spin is a wonderful thing, yes?

Wow.

I remember referring to them as a JUCO back in 2013 and when they beat us at home I decided hey, maybe take it easy on shit talking those guys from San Antonio in the future. I have also been respectful over on the CUSA board, never again.

To hell with these clowns.

I all fairness, I met Mandy when she was here, but never dealt with her.  I was a grad student who couldn't rub two nickels together and was nowhere near giving any money at all to athletics. 

All true, but she treated all but the UNT 17 types with extreme disdain...and kept her job. 

That RV staff, especially him, was the purest definition of "bare minimum" that I have ever seen at a FBS school.

I definitely have a few choice words for some people that came after her, but fuck it, they're gone and I'm still here.  I've no reason to take shit from anybody in the athletic department anymore.  I also have no reason to lick anybody's boots.  I make my donations, buy my tickets, and attend the games.  I don't much care what they think of me anymore.  As far as any interpersonal relations with current AD staff, way I see it, it's on them to call ME, not the other way around.  And if they do call me, it better damn well not be to call me a liar or a dumbass as has happened in the past.

I'm going to go with what I'm pretty sure is our team's mindset:
FAU.   They are our next opponent.

We are not good enough to over look anyone.  Safe to say.

Just see all the upsets from this past weekend---none bigger than Clemson going down to Syracuse?!  Hope the team sees it that way cause we're REALLY not nearly good enough to even start getting full of ourselves.

Aside from all the trash talk written above, UNT looks to have a great chance at the CUSA championship this year.  What would you guys say your hardest game the rest of the way is?  Toss up between FAU and LaTech?  I'm still not convinced that LaTech is still good or not.  There won't be any issues with Rice and UTEP.  Rice is bad, just not UTEP bad.  

I think, as a lot of coaches say, running the table is incredibly hard to do. Saban talked about how hard it is when you're winning and expected to win to keep guys motivated and to play to their potential every week. Sometimes, just like regular folk, we have days where we want to just write it in.

I think FAU is our toughest go. I'm not by any means looking past LaTech. If they had either or both of their receivers back from last year (Henderson nightmares), I think we'd be in for some serious trouble, their offense isn't what it was the past few years, that benefits us. Again still a solid conference team. 

FAU may have the most talent with their "ethical clean slate" approach. If they're willing to take whatever good talent regardless of ethical quandaries, it's going to create a talent advantage in most match ups. I think Litrell has created a culture and system that helps overcome some talent deficits and it's a good thing for UNT. If we ever can get a top 3 recruiting class to go with the system, it could be pretty scary for the rest of the conference.

Why are we talking about UTSA-CC?  We play FAU this week.

Why are we talking about old AD employees?  They are gone, they can't hurt you anymore.

 

 

My thoughts exactly. If anything the only reason to bring up old AD team members is to avoid repeating their mistakes.  So unless they want to make sweater vest mandatory on Fridays for AD employees  I think it a piontless discussion.

Rather have an on-going system than a one hit wonder.  

Again, back in the 70's we used to play the UT Longhorns very competitively & you know none of our recruiting classes would have compared with Darrell Royals annual hauls.

not to mention they would be 3-3 if they played UH.

So a best case scenario would be 9-3 (if no hurricane)? I am thinking this could fall to 6-5 or 5-6 now with games against Marshall, LA Tech, and UAB left.

This Mean Green team I think will not read its newspaper clippings.  For certain Mason Fine won't.  He is one of the most well adjusted kids I've seen at his age.  He takes all in stride.  He even once said if he had a career ending injury he'd merely move onto being a coach. Amazing. 

➡️ Denton, Denton County, UNT students & fellow UNT alums: Something special's going on up there!   Don't let this train take off w/o you.

i saw one of their quotes on Rowdy talk  was "UTSA has given the rest of the conference a blue print on how to beat UNT.  Did I miss something or dream that we won that game?  I don't recall seeing them do anything differently that UAB and SOMI did against us.

      A very good NIL message from Coach Morris

      Keeping it real. I like that he's honest with our players.

      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 --

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      On the surface, this seems bad for HS grads. Really good for P4s. If you are a HS senior, your chances of playing D1...baseball especially, out of HS is severely diminished. A D1 baseball coach has way better options now than taking a chance on a HS kid. The whole model has changed and it effects all sports. Think about football. The days of recruiting a kid and developing him are over. Saw in another thread about our incoming QB from Miami. Someone asked (and it's a good question): "if he was the back up, the Heisman candidate starter just left. Isn't it his job? Why would he leave?" Because that coach doesn't care about him. He's scouring the transfer portal looking for his next Cam Ward. (just like he did with the real Cam Ward). Chances are the Miami staff is looking for a bigger, better deal. If you're a D1 baseball or basketball coach, the talent pool of 21 year old, developed, experienced players just opened up. HS kids are going to get pushed out. The transfer portal is going to get crazier to. College players are going to be used, moved, basically traded... With NIL, players are going to stay in college longer too. Saw something the other day: Every SEC starting QB makes more $$ than Brock Purdy, a Superbowl starting 3rd year NFL QB.

      College football could become a career especially when you look at salaries for QB's. Basically the Michigan qb could retire after four years. So we are going to see more 24 and 25 year olds in college sports? Does this hurt the NFL?
