SoMiss beats LaTech. Big win for us, had we won today. Now, we will need to win out anyway. Or hope La Tech loses another. Destiny is still in our hands, in theory. But would you put your own 'destiny' in the hands of this staff after today? Not sure I'd put a potato gun in their hands after today.

LAT still has UTSA and I believe Marshall... so let’s hope we can handle our business

I'm not sure if I want it after tonight.  If we win the West division, we'll have to play against an East champ who--at least it looks like it at this point--will absolutely destroy us.  I'd almost rather win 7 or 8 games and go against a beatable opponent in a bowl game.  I just don't think we're ready for the big time yet.

No kidding.  I mean, who wants to play in a conference championship game???  Especially two years after going 1-11 and being arguably the worst team in college football.

Now that you put it that way I understand.  I didn't realize we were going to give up triple digits.

Unless they bring in Portland St. as the opponent, I really think we could probably keep it a little closer.

USM and Charlotte helped us out tonight. UAB, UTSA, and La Tech all with two conference losses. UNT needs to win out and we will win the tiebreak against USM to play in conference championship. La Tech scares me though with our sub par defense.

They have played crappy all season. The offense has just been bailing them out.

Agreed, the whole bend but don’t break is tiresome and this thought process needs to be removed

Yes. The 3-3-5 doesn't work for us. We don't have the linebackers to play it. We need to move to 4-3.

Honestly, I believe our young team is still developing & when we get our 2 in the DL back in full operating mode this defense should be much better, especially by bowl kick-off time.

Southern Mississippi still has to play Marshall so 6-2 could still win the west for us if we lose at La Tech who also has Marshall. After today, no game will look like an easy win!

I don't get this logic. So the other conference title contenders that have a CUSA loss can regroup, get better and progress, but somehow we're incapable of that? I understand that everyone's pissed about the completely flat performance (I am too), but this kind of sentiment comes across as overly emotional. Ideally, I want us to win the rest of the CUSA games and force a rematch with FAU. Think we'd see a totally different North Texas team against them in round 2.

How many fricking years in a row are we going to be a young team, this is the excuse every year. Why are we always perceived to be a young team as an excuse for craptastic losses

I was being somewhat tongue-in-cheek.  But it is true that if we were to experience a comparable or worse outcome to what we saw yesterday, I would rather not be in the game at all.

Reminds me of the people last year that thought we should decline the HoD invitation since we only had 5 wins.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      I'm gonna say yes...but probably not as much as people (including me) will want. unless something has dramatically changed in the last two weeks in practice, I gotta think the rotation is still the rotation and given that we're coming in off 2 straight loses, my bet is that Hodge will want the rotation guys playing as much together as possible heading into conference play. had we beaten High Point and/or if we had a better schedule that didn't have a two week gap in games, maaaaaaaybe RH would've experimented/tried to build more depth a little more...but given circumstance I'm preparing for little more than freshmen cameos.

      Portal WR Cameron Dorner - Shepherd

      Committed to North Texas. No idea what happened to the X links above. https://www.journal-news.net/journal-news/shepherd-transfer-portal-frenzy-d1-commitments-big-offers-and-a-standout-returns-home/article_237da94a-66bd-5bc5-b98f-299985e895f2.html According to this article, he turned down offers from 12 other FBS/FCS schools to come to Denton. It also lists him as a team captain.

      Breaking: North Texas lands Miami QB Transfer (Free)

      We can complain all we want about Aune but he holds the single season record in TD passes. While QB play wasn't perfect after Fine left, it was a heck of a lot better than right before Fine got here. I completely understand that. This is no different than any HS prospect or even an FBS transfer. Not all QBs can replicate their previous success in a new system. I'd still rather have a guy who was accomplished than somebody who never saw the field. Every transfer is a risk no matter what. Your logic is severely flawed though. Cam Ward was once a big time FCS transfer and was just a Heisman finalist with that Miami team you're trashing. Joe Burrow was once a career backup on an Ohio State team that couldn't win the championship and look what he did. If you want to get even crazier with it all, Stetson Bennett was once a walk-on who then transferred to a junior college before transferring back to Georgia to win a couple National Championships. We can go on forever with this. We got a guy with success at the D1 level. More success than Chandler Rogers had. There's no reason to believe he won't work out here.
