Even though I hate the bastard he’s a really good coach. If he ever decides to grow up and quit acting like a middle school kid he will probably end up with a great P5 job

Hah. You think that disqualifies him for one?

Kids love that stuff. He will get an offer at the end of the season.

Maybe after this game, there will be less complaining about bowl destination and discussion of the likelihood of losing Littrell.

Nope. Not if we go to the NO Bowl.

UNTcrazy727 · December 2, 2017

For everyone bitching about the NOLA Bowl, this game is destroying the momentum of this season more than playing the Sun Belt ever could.

No, but the attendance would be better if it were a neutral site game. You'd have the locals coming to watch football...in theory.

If this game is at a neutral site like Atlanta or New Orleans, I start thinking about buying tickets as soon as we clinch. As it is, we couldn't make travel plans until the east was decided. (I'm not going to start booking flights and rooms because I'm 'pretty sure' tye game is going to be in Boca)

I just hate that we look like this in front of a national audience. This is not representative of the season this program had. It’s just a damn shame. Hopefully we can come back in the 2nd half and make this thing respectable.

Side Show Joe · December 2, 2017

I wonder if the coaches did those 800+ Up Downs with the team after the last FAU loss? If they didn't they should this time.

Cerebus · December 2, 2017

So who is our first half MVP? Trevor Moore?

MeanMag · December 2, 2017

FAU should be ranked. They look better than Iowa. Best team we have played all year. Too bad we had to play them twice.

False.. going and playing in the NO and then losing on top of this destroys the entire season

First half ranking of UNT units:

Best unit by far:

special teams, because it isn't an embarassment. Yes the fake FG didn't get there but otherwise it was solid.

second (far behind) : Defense. Can't get off the field and has essentially given up between the 20 yard lines, but at least several redzone stops. That is all I really expected (ok, was hoping for a TO or two).

third even slightly behind the D:

The offense. Barely move the ball, and when they did messed up. Never had a drive that gave the Defense any breaks. It was obvious to me that we would need to score 40 or more to win this. We are at a big fat zero.

Although I don't think it destroys the entire season, I feel your pain, and somewhat agree. I have no points left to give, but if I did you would get a +1 for this comment.

We have a history of laying eggs in games like this. While I wanted to win this game, I think I really wanted to not be embarrassed even more. That's not a good frame of mind entering a conference championship game. We've had a great season, but it's also one that could have easily been 3-9 instead of 9-3. The old saying of defense wins championships still rings true in the modern era of offensive game plans and our defense has been suspect this season.

So frustrated I want to throw a guy in a bear costume.

ForneyGreen · December 2, 2017

Dear Coach Kiffin - please call off the dogs early and don't make this thing end 70 - 10. Thanks for your consideration.

Hate games like this where we look so small and so slow.

It really does destroy it.. the season of possible destiny people said and losing to FAU (in a beatdown) and a SBC is a huge let down, dear I say similar similar to the UTSA undefeated season..

No please LK put up 70.. I want to hear the reasons we keep Reff and gets FAU ranked..

I think this a good tome to reflect on the words and wisdom of the great Colonel Sanders, “I’m too drunk to taste this chicken”.

keith · December 2, 2017

Every time we got into field goal range we were immediately pushed back. The INT hurt. That one was a bad decision by Fine, but I think it was a situational INT. If we were not in that position desperately needing something positive, I don't think he makes that throw. It was more him trying to make a big play when we needed it and it back-fired on him.

GrandGreen · December 2, 2017

Fine is in progress of losing first team all conference QB honors. However, a lot of it has to do with receivers not getting open and a very bad offensive line.

All of them?

There are 19 places named Atlanta in America. There is one place named Atlanta in South Africa. There is one place named Atlanta in Nicaragua. There is one place named Atlanta in Costa Rica. There is one place named Atlanta in Belgium. There is one place named Atlanta in Austria.
