ODU will crush NT if NT comes out with another effort like tonight.  

NT is not as bad as they looked tonight, no team could be.   FAU is also not the world beater that NT made them look like, They will lose games. 

The only positive is a lot of teams that get embarrassed close to this level, come out on fire the next week. 

I hope you guys don't play any world beaters!  At least give us this week to assess what we may be since you have  no respect for anything accomplished by us this season.

Contemplating on doing other things. If the staff can't put in the time, I don't think I can either.

Honestly if you hate this program so much why do you stay here? Also: If your time is so valuable then why are you wasting it posting on a fan board?

I don't hate the program there greenhorn, I hate the results. You must enjoy them, eh?

He was a UNT fan, but has since jumped ship because of how we lost last night.... 

You’ve got to give him credit for holding out this long. Because we all know there has been plenty of opportunity & reason to jump ship over the last decade....

I think the FAU game was a wake up call. I believe the team will perform better. After the beat down they took at UTEP last season, they actually did respond better against Army in the bowl game and that was and still is a team learning to win. They didn't beat Army, but they came really close and Army is much better than ODU. I, for one, believe they will respond.

Not sure how you get that out of that quote.  I assume you think FAU is going to have a lot more games like NT and go undefeated the rest of the year.  Everyone acknowledges that FAU beat NT as bad as a team can be beat.  What do you expect to find on NT's message board?  Not sure why you want it, but you have my permission to assess away.

I honestly think FAU's next 3 games all can be losses for them if their opponents prepare correctly.

To our doubting Thomases who think all is lost.

ESPN Half Time Report

North Texas......14

Big 10 Iowa.......10

👉🏻 3-4 consecutive solid recruiting classes & we could win these kind of games & probably have more DL depth when we lose players like Kansas State transfer & defensive lineman English.

GMG!

I am not sure if pointing to an almost 3 TD loss to what is becoming a pretty mediocre Iowa team is a good thing. This is called pointing out a moral victory, at the very best, and passing it off as a band aid for a 40 points loss to 3-3 FAU.

Please tell me you are kidding or have only been following the program 3 or 4 years.

Been following the program over 25 years and I'm joking about 70 but I'm also serious. FAU just did. Think about that. FAU. Unreal. Pathetic isn't even strong enough of a word.

Oh my comment wasn't towards you, it was towards @AustinFromUNT for saying this is the best NT team he has ever seen.

Granted, but it showed we hung with a Big 10 football program for at least one half, so no need to say the sky has completely fallen on top of us.

True. But Iowa is a methodical, huddle up team that wants to impose their will on you, not their technical scheme. 

 

And the sky most certainly hasn't fallen on us, but the #NewDenton moniker lost some lust and I don't think there is no denying that.

No, the football team went limp. And everyone around the country pointed and laughed. Well, everyone that pays attention to UNT football. Lucky for us, I guess, not many pay attention.

 We will never be a UF or a TCU because we will never have the money they have.

I loved the comment until I saw this.  I understand  aspiring to be the Florida Gators  is unrealistic  but TCU.  North Texas has more untapped resources in the pockets of local alumni than any school in DFW area. If we got 20% of the money that local alumni spend on the Dallas Cowboys, Macericks, Rangers, and their favorite Big 12 or top 25 program the department might even turn a profit.  We won’t get there cause vast majority of alumni don’t.  I thought I read the statics that 1 our 1800 alumni donate to the athletic department. Imagine if that were to Change to 1 out of 500.  That is why I complain about the lack of balance between passion and loyalty here.  You can’t critique the program reasonably without being pooed out/down voted.  “The person who informed you that you stepped in some shit and now some is left on the bottom of your shoes and it stinks is not the bad guy.”  But here they are.

Old Dominion isn’t going to roll over and play dead for us.  But if we lose I don’t want to hear any excuses

After three quarters, it was NT  14,  Iowa 17.  We played them tooth and nail for three quarters and didn't wilt until Iowa scored the first of two fourth quarter touchdowns with 8:19 left in the game. The outlook is even better than you portray, IMO.

One other. I didn't go to 2015 Homecoming to watch the Portland Fiasco. Wasn't worth it to me, so I didn't. Luckily.

That has been the only game where I have missed when in town. And I don't leave town on GameDay unless I have to, weddings, etc.

i agree with what your saying but moving the needle on the local alumni is proving to be difficult.  I brought my old college roommate to a game last year and he loved it.  He hasn't been back since.  I don't understand why more people do not come to the games.  I returned to Denton four years ago and have gone to all games (until UTEP this year).  It is more that the W or the L.  I have a great time with the people who sit around me.  If we could get the alumni who haven't been to game since graduation it might change some minds.

ESPN does not have any clips of OD win last night. Are there any videos that someone can post of their win last night?

The ODU game was on CBSSN and on Friday Night.. Maybe its up on the C-USA site or youtube?

I'll have such an alum at Apogee for the ODU game who was also my college roommate.  This will be his 2'nd home game in a row--he's still talking about "The Drive" & didn't even flinch or change his mind about coming to the ODU game when I told him about the FAU disaster.  

Imagine:   If we'd each brought a fellow alum or new fan with us for the UTSA game approximately 40,000 would have been the turnstile count at fabulous Apogee Stadium & the Denton Fire Marshall would have had a major cardiac.

      Might be one of the best statements he's made about NT Football.

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      The UT Athletic Department will just get treated as a corporation, saying funds received to it are voluntary, even if tax-deductible. And no politician will touch this, knowing how quickly they'd get hammered for hurting State U's football team and its funding.

      Transfer portal is killing P4 as well as G5

      You know, the playoff system to create a champion is better, but I still loved the way CFB was when conferences were regional, they had their champion tied into a specific bowl game, there weren't so many spare bowls featuring matchups that nobody cares about between 6-6 teams, and each season, the end of the year was talking about who had the better resume if this team loses or wins in their bowl game. I grew up loving the SWC and the Big Eight. Each year, the goal was to make it to Dallas or Miami and see where the chips fell. You were neighbors and friends with grads of those schools. I'm sure it was the same in the old version of the SEC and the ACC. It was just a fun time--and if things went great, the Cotton Bowl, the Orange Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, or the Rose Bowl would be for a national title. But if not, you watched them all because the games mattered in the big scheme of it all and they were on all day and night on New Years Day, along with the Fiesta Bowl, and then, later, the Citrus Bowl for the ACC Champ. Its a bygone era, no doubt, but the games had great coaches all over the country and players we got to know over the years. Yes, there was plenty of cheating, and yes, the big boys controlled the game, but it was more fun. Whatever it is we have today, I feel sorry for people who think CFB today is more enjoyable to follow and support. They probably think we are olds that have Good Ol Day Syndrome and that is fine. I can't really refute any of that. But it was a sport I and many of my age (50s now) loved and followed intensely. Today, we are dropping out very quickly, as we see the farce the portal and NIL are making of this great sport. Very sad...
