I see a lot of overreacting on this board tonight. We played pretty poorly outside of the 1st quarter. We made a LOT of mistakes (fumble on punt return, fumble on the catch, FG going off uprights, blocked FG) and still almost beat what appears to be a pretty good LT team. Why do some of you think it’s so unlikely they pick up 2 losses?

 

Someone on here really said their was not a big difference between going 6-6 and 11-1. Give. Me. A. Break. If we get an 11 win season, you watch and see what the difference is.

This is a fucking embarrasing loss.

There’s no way to spin this one as a positive, regardless of how the season is going. There’s almost nothing you can do the rest of the season that will garner national attention, which we sorely need

UNT lost this game, so many chances and they just blew it every time. All the hype for a New Year's Six, gone.

How?

There will be two conference games in which la tech’s opponents will have more points than la tech at the end of each game.

What are the extent of the injuries? How serious?

This is what I want to know. We had so many injuries I couldn’t keep track and we can’t be down a quarter of our starters and expect to dominate, even against UTEP.

No one is arguing against the fact that this is a special season and this is still likely a special team. The disappointing part is most G5 teams literally get one shot in most fan’s lifetimes to pull something really special. It usually takes a combination of things, the most unlikely of which is demolishing your “body bag” team because they’re in a down season. Those NY6 teams don’t have any trouble in conference until at least the championship game, and even then only if their opponent is also ranked, usually in MWC or AAC. With the changes coming in 2023 it’s likely the window to achieve that once lifetime opportunity is quickly closing. 

I tend to agree with much of what you're saying.  This was a punch in the guts.  I certianly didn't expect some magical undefeated season but this game was different.  This was the game that could have been the true break out game and party in our house in front of our fans many of them casual and skeptical and on a super special day honoring Mean Joe while having all this media attention nationally and locally on us.  If there was a game for us that we least afford to lose it was this one IMO.

Still think were in for a really nice season and those that have penciled in LT I just say to tap the brakes as there's still a ton of football to be played.

LaTech will need to lose twice while we will need to win out to get into the CUSA champ game. Who is LaTech losing twice to? IF tonight is any indication we aren't winning out. Might lose the next home game to a decent Southern Miss team if we play like tonight. 

We hit adversity for the first time this year and I saw a team press for results instead of playing for results.

OR...

LATech loses to UAB.  We beat UAB.  & it comes down to 3-way tiebreakers.

Just throwing another option out there.

      Attendance question

      Uhhhhh no chance. It was probably like 60/40 or 65/35 Tx State.

      Attendance question

      Never left my seat the whole game from section 208. Any idea what the relative split was for TXSt fans v NT fans? Coming into the game and looking from the top floor of Moody parking lot in the hour or so before I went into the stadium, it appeared TXSt fan outnumbered us 4 or 5 to one, if not more. Clearly there were more of them than us, but did anyone get a shot of the NT side of the field to discern how many of those on that side were in Green. And even with TXSt fans sitting on the West side, was it even near full? We were mostly NT fans in our section but there were quite a few TXSt fans. Then after the game, coming out of the stadium into the concession area on our side it was packed NT. But likely most TXSt on our side stayed for the post game. I am guessing 3:2 or maybe 17K:11K for the whole stadium, but I may be way off. GMG

      Great ESPN Story On Drew Mestemaker

      See there people like you are the problem accepting mediocrity. 😉🤣🤣. Well that is what I was told when I was pleasently surprised by a competitive bowl game that our team had the ball in late with a chance to win. And the waxing nostalgic for SL who was 0-5 in bowl games (without his conference leading QB jumping into the transfer portal before those bowl games) was particularly ridiculous.

      Seth Littrell

      Agreed. The comparison at this stage claiming some significant difference is laughable. I don't know what people expected when they fired Seth a season too late. When a sports franchise is in a 15 year trend of mediocrity and DOESN'T do anything significantly different than what they've always done, you can't expect significantly better outcomes in the short term. That is my frustration with a lot of the fans. Winning the Servpro Bowl game by a late field goal wouldn't change the trajectory of this program. So why react like losing by not getting in position to kick a winning FG would? Similarly spoiling an attempt by the 2021 UTSA team to go undefeated in the regular season meant nothing. Yet many defended keep SL on board for a lame duck season. The only real difference between SL and Morris so far is that it appears that Morris has a better eye for QB talent and is better at unlocking it. Imagine if Morris got a hold of Jason Bean here. Absolutely no reason to be bring up SL like some kind of standard here when he lost all biggest games. Good man, very professional and smart but a mediocre coach. MOST FBS coaches are mediocre (around the median or average performance level) or below.

      Great ESPN Story On Drew Mestemaker

      Morris said. "I think you saw the athleticism, the accuracy, the decision-making. I wouldn't be surprised if in 15 years, Drew Mestemaker's playing football still." The way things are heading, he could also simply be alluding to new NCAA rule changes that will allow players to remain in eligible forever.
