I don't know why you'd be looking forward to the game with Arkansas. Arkansas SEC and even though they are a less than stellar team in the SEC there offensive and defensive lines are HUGH compared to UNT. Until UNT can recruit and develop our OL & DL with better and more talented linemen it's going to be a long day for Mason F. our offense, and defense.

I sure hope our staff has a good/great recruiting year with lot of big, productive OL & DL talent. UNT sure does need it.

I can't help but feel the big winner in this situation is SMU....

If this is all true, I think you're right.   Graham is the right fit for SMU.  I think Morris was trying to do things the right way down there.   Graham will do whatever gets him ahead.

Wow.   Wonder how the Arkansas boosters/fans are going to react here.   Hope the pigs are ready for some more mediocrity, but if he has a NFL caliber WR, he's going to smash us next season...     ...probably why they hired him.

 

Graham is a great replacement for him at SMU.  They needed a little more sleaze down there.

Losing their frickin minds. They don't know crap about football outside of the SEC West and all they see is a mediocre record in AAC. They think their admin has lost their mind.

And I just realized we played Arkansas next year.  I am looking forward to that game.

Be interesting what the spread looks like at Arkansas next year with a bunch of guys recruited to play Big 10 smashmouth football.

Any chance they’d try to beat Littrell down with cash to move 30 minutes south? As much as we hate them, we still can’t match their cash.

I'd be more concerned about that if Littrell had played SMU competitively over the past 2 years, or hadn't flopped VS FAU.  I don't think it'll happen.  But then again, I didn't think anyone would be crazy enough to hire Morris away either.

Have you looked at NT's offensive line?  

The defense NT plays is based on quick linemen not big except the middle position.   

The issue for lineman is not size, NT could recruit a bunch of giants.   The difference is the talent variance between most players a NT can sign vs a prominent P5 team.

Had similar thoughts about Anderson and SMU. Our QB went out in the first half and we collapsed so I can't see the fans thinking they need to hire him.

I hope Morris falls flat on his face and UA fails. At least maybe then ASU and UCA can get some love since they have been the better programs the past 3 yrs. 

Venables would have been the better hire. UA needs help on Defense.

Morris is a solid hire. I wonder if he would be getting grief if was still the Successful OC at Clemson and was hired away from there. He is a very solid recruiter and now has head coaching experience. Look for UA getting some Texas boys.

If he was getting hired as OC, I agree.  His defenses have been very not good.  Like ranked 100+ not good.  Better fit for Big 12 than SEC imo.

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      We do alright with the North Texas chant sometimes, we just need to make it a staple and I think people will do it.

      State fans showed up because they rightfully expected to win in this game. If the AD thinks they're going to depend on people to show up just cause NT has a team there, they are dead wrong. There are a few, but there are many many more who will not show up when they don't think their team will win. There are too many obligations and opportunities to devote precious time and money watching a team lose.

      After Morris and Sheffield transferred, how many here were actually expecting to win? Many of us were just hoping TXST didn't handle us like they did UTSA this year or Rice in last year's First Responder Bowl. Sure, it's the head coach's job to have his team ready to play and in position to win regardless of the adversity faced, but it's still incredible the performance Mestemaker had. Tonight was better than any game C. Morris has had since Memphis. Coastal Carolina lost their starting QB to the portal and got dog walked in their bowl game against UTSA in their own building. Yes, the loss increases our bowl futility streak to an active high, and it sucks to lose to an intrastate program in an inferior conference, but that shouldn't take away from Drew's game. The biggest disappointment to me was how badly we were outnumbered by TXST fans. We went from packing the lower level of the Cotton Bowl to being matched ON OUR OWN SIDE. Like our team, our fans also struggle to wear green. However, there should be optimism surrounding next season. Eric made a poor hire with his first DC obviously, but made the tough (but right) call in getting rid of him. Next year's presumed starter will be in his last year of eligibility, so no losing another 4000 yard passed before the bowl game. If we struggle to another 6/7-win season and bowl loss with next year's schedule, I think Eric's seat should be pretty hot again.

      So a lot of you think that NT is not deserving of your valuable fandom. I actually was proud of the team that continue to battle with a completely revamped lineup including a completely untested QB. Yeah and spare me the low expectations accusations that are usually leveled at anyone that dares to not rave and rant about a loss.
