North Texas Proud

[bdan2002]

CBS picked us to win 4 games year; others (some on this site) picked us to finish last in our Divison. We exceeded expectations of 99% of the population - expect for those guys in the locker room who believed. We owe it them, as fans or bandwagon fans, to show this team some damn respect and congratulate them on winning 9 games. 

Btw, there are 129 FBS teams. How many won 9 games this year?

Sun Belt - 1

SEC - 4

PAC-12 - 4

Mountain West - 3

MAC - 1

Independent - 1

CUSA - 2

Big 10 - 5

Big 12 - 3

AAC - 3

ACC - 3

If my math is correct, there are only 30 teams (23%) who won 9 games this year. This is the start of something great, and I’m UNT Proud!  Now let me find some bourbon to drink.

Despite my disappointment with today's result. I would have easily taken this year's record pre-season had I been given a choice. As for me, I will not let today's game ruin what has been a good season. One way of looking at today is that Littrell got a whole lot from a team with relatively modest talent. I wonder what he would have done if we had the speed and bulk of FAU?

Good post.

Our team is like our kids.  We don't love 'em cause they're good or not...we love 'em cause they're ours.

I was expecting 4 or 5 wins.  

This team has the ability to double my best guess for this year.  I hate how the FAU games turned out, but overall I am glad we accomplished what we did.

The final grade on this year won't be know until signing day.  That is where we will know if we are building momentum or not.

Good post Brandon. You're right, one game doesn't taint an entire season of success to me.

We are going bowling with a team that has a chance to win 10 games for the first time in decades!   FAU game be damned!

 

itsa all good, and it's all Green!

[MattMakesLoans]

We’ve had a great season and it’s not over yet.  A bowl win and 10 wins would be incredible.

I’m so excited for the direction of the team and program.

Go Mean Green!  Let’s go bowling.

It's not that I'm upset that we've gone 9-4.  I am over the moon with the leaps and strides we have made in two seasons.  I'm upset that we could not adjust our team to be more competitive this go around with FAU.  It points to a coaching issue that needs to be corrected next season.

Don't blame the coaches for this loss! FAU is a very good team, very good players!

North Texas played the best they could have against a very good team.

Don’t blame them? Dude, Reff couldn’t stop them and when he did and we were moving it the defense broke on a 3&10+ play.. GH struggled as well because FAU did not respect the deep pass and this OL let everyone get pressure.. 

This loss is directly on the DC/OC.. multiple early 3 and outs.. heck wewere outgained 200+ yards to like 20 at the end of the 1st..

Proud of this team, staff and administration.  They should hold their heads high and be proud of what they have accomplished this year.  Add in our soccer and volleyball teams and this has been a great Fall season.  Let's go win a bowl game.

[PlummMeanGreen]

Too many positive things took place this Fall that yesterday's loss cannot usurp.

  We always have had  a few  fans ready to burn the barn down to kill a mouse & fire the HFC after a loss.  Like most of you, I am not one of them.  Rarely (if ever) do I criticize any coach for on the field things;  it's more in the area of a HFC's P.R. shortcomings that affect fan support where I've posted a few things In the past.  Like most of you,  I never criticize or singled out any Mean Green football player.  I may have said one might do the program more good if he played rather than another but didn't crucify the other.  

THIS:

We have to recruit, though, & recruit like there's no tomorrow.  If we recruit more speed like we saw yesterday you will not get any objections from anyone on this forum.

GMG!
