“You are not going to get Coach Speak here," Kiffin said. "When I say I'm happy here, that's what every coach says. But I really am. It's a very unique situation: A) we have a great team, B) a ton of them come back, almost the whole team comes back. And we love living here. There's a family element that's awesome. My dad's here. My brother's a coordinator. Mom's here. My brother's four kids. We've got a president that wants football to win, came from Clemson and envisions this place being like Clemson some day."

Well, I hope he's serious. Best case scenario is both Kiffen and Littrell stay in conference for several years to come. I think Liffen is probably interested in proving he can coach at the P5 level again but I'm not sure that's next year. We'll see I suppose.

I really think Kiffen is going to look at the jobs that are open and if the right one isn't there, he's staying at FAU. He's experienced what happens when you take the wrong job, even with a great salary. It didn't work out well for him, either time. If he's got a job that works for him now so he doesn't have to jump. Waiting a year to get an extra two or three million (or more) down the road isn't a big deal.

Ooooooh yeah, sacrifice that game so you can spring a trap in the CCG!!  Good strategy!  I am looking for a good game.

On a serious note, I'd like us to come out and play our type of football, and see what happens.  I think FAU has more skill at most positions, but we melted there last game and had no chance of recovering after the first quarter.

The game that happen last time was not the game I was expecting.  I am worried about playing a team twice, that is always difficult.  We both have great offenses.  I think we still win 42-28 (my prediction for every game) just for the simple fact that you guys give up a ton of points.  We will make more stops or force more FG's on defense.  Around the middle of the 3rd quarter Motor just becomes too much.  Its been a fun year, wouldn't mind having a yearly rematch with you guys in the CCG for the next several years while we both dominate our divisions.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      I enjoyed the overall presentation too. One gripe kind of related to your second paragraph though. A spontaneous 'North Texas' chant broke out in the second half; I think it was right after Oregon St called time out when we went up 53-46. It would have been a really cool moment if the chant were allowed to get bigger. Instead it got drowned out by in arena music and the next paid promotion. So, just being more cognizant of those moments, and they don't happen too frequently, would improve the game experience. I should mention that they have stopped before to let North Texas chants build up; the game against Memphis last season comes to mind.

      And camps. Just from Twitter, people claim it’s highly attended, organized, and well run. At the very least, it gets kids on campus and further develops a relationship with the kid/families/coaches. He’s been a positive for UNT.

      Unfortunately, I feel like pep bands all over the country are largely getting sidelined for the DJ music and "Let's make some noise!" kinda stuff. It's definitely not unique to NT.

      Football season ticket holder here that normally starts going to b-ball games once the calendar flips to the new year & my schedule opens up. But since UNT is a #basketballschool now, starting earlier this year. First off, anyone agree with this assessment? When I go to football games I'm just waiting for the proverbial kick to the nuts in the second half. East Carolina was a perfect microcosm of this. Oh look! We're up 21-0!! What are we going to do to blow it? And sure enough, we do. Over and over again. With basketball, I feel the exact opposite. Whether it's Minnesota, Oregon State, etc, what are we going to do to win it? And more times than not, we do!! Clutch, clutch, clutch. Well done team! I love it. Really liked the game presentation too. The only thing I've noticed is it seems the pep band is getting less "air time" if that makes sense at the expense of giving the hype guy more exposure. Kinda an ass-whip if you ask me. "SOMEBODY MAKE SOME NOOIISE!!!!!", "EVERONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!!!!". We can be loud on our own without being told, thank you very much. It s almost like a warm-up act before he heads down to Dallas for his 2nd job at Baby Dolls. With that solid radio DJ voice he can then bark out "EVERYONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!! AND GIVE IT UP FOR DESTINY ON THE MAIN STAGE!!!!". Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about there. 🤣🤣 Happy Thanksgiving all and Go Mean Green!
