  I just can't help but notice that the energy level is down for us right now.  Probably a normal reaction to losing the game and more importantly the undefeated season.   I am sure Coach Chico and the Miners will give us a good game.   Hope this lull doesn't affect our play in a very important game on the road.

Well, the pressure of going undefeated and living up to everyone's (unrealistic ?) high expectations is off.    The team can turn that into a positive or negative.   I trust our coaches.

We just need to find a RB now that can replace what Easly was doing.   He was clearly the most productive back we had.   And, crossing my fingers that Hall is going to be OK.

Emmitt is right.  Once you get the winning taste back in your pie hole, we'll all feel better. I couldn't watch the replay of the game.  I just deleted it last night.  Bummer since it was such a great atmosphere.  Too many woulda shoulda coulda moments.

After everything that has happened in the first five weeks (four wins including SMU and Arkansas), punt return, IPF groundbreaking, Joe Greene statue ... this week was going to be slow to matter what happened against La Tech. The fan base can't keep the same hype every week all season and having winless UTEP coming up doesn't help.

Harry, first you post the blocked field goal and now this? Stay away from any sharp knives!

I guess some people are still bummed out. I’m personally looking forward to replacing all this LA Tech talk with a UTEP butt kicking.

Everyone is talking about finding a RB to carry the load but will GH remember to use that RB?

It will rebound.  Beat UTEP, come home and get a win against USM (1 point or 30 points, just win) and you will see the energy right back up.

bingo...at that point, 6-1 will feel pretty damn good

This is my first time checking the forum since the game. I still have a terrible taste in my mouth. That’s the saddest I’ve ever felt after a UNT game. Portland State was a disaster but we were garbage and expected to lose. I still love this team and will still be at all of the home games, it’s just hard to shake this ****** feeling after losing our chance at the division (yeah UAB COULD beat LA Tech but UAB also got blown out by 2nd year FBS team Coastal Carolina). I don’t mean to be a bummer, but this is honestly the worst I’ve ever felt after a UNT game.

It'll be better if you just head over to the CUSA board and eat that crow now.

He's on the depth chart but he's also "day to day."

 

I thought coach Littrell said Fine was "OK", but Hall was "week to week"?

 

EDIT:  Nevermind, I assumed this was about Fine.  Did not read far enough up.

I think our overall record will still be great, the biggest thing about last week is not being in the driver’s seat for your division after 1 week of conference play. Really wish we played LaTech later in the season. If they don’t lose to UAB this week, it’s hard to see them losing 2 conference games. If that’s the case, we could potentially be 11-1 and not in the conference championship game. That would sting. Even with that record I doubt they rank a G5 that doesn’t win their conference. Lofty goals of NY6 aside, this was the season to finally get us ranked for the first time in the modern era.

I get people are bummed out...but aren’t a lot of these players going to be here next year too? Especially on offense, the defense is playing way better than anyone thought possible. Who’s to say we aren’t in a similar position next year. Maybe I’ve had too much green koolaid.

Not on the defense, which has me worried.

Nope I don't think you had too much kool-aid. Lemme ad a green arrow to that Koo-laid.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      I'm sure there are some more experienced guys that have legitimate claim to serious looks. I just never got the vibe that there was one or two home-run hires available to us.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      One stop. 51st and 117th at ACU is not success. Stop lying to yourself. I'm bitching because this is an atrocious hire. Allowed 39 to Texas State and 45 to a bad UCF team which included being ran over for almost 400 yards and 6 TDs. I would have wanted one of the Co-DCs (or both) from Northern Illinois, Bowling Green, or Miami (OH). We could money whip any and all of their DCs. You want to see success that doesn't involve getting steamrolled for 40 like Cassity's defense, look at those teams. NIU: 7th in total defense, highest G5 ranking. Held now #5 Notre Dame to 14 and NC State to 24. Most points allowed was 25 to Ball State. They have co-DCs we could have doubled in pay for less than Caponi. Bowling Green: 29th in total defense, have co-DCs one of which spent almost a decade as DC in DFW high schools (including Haltom City when Lance Dunbar was there). Held Texas A&M to 26 and now #3 Penn State to 34, both on the road. Miami (OH): 14th in total defense. Held Northwestern to 13, Cincinnati to 27, and Notre Dame to 28. Most don't have Texas ties. I don't think that matters as much in today's day. I'd like to know when's the last time Texas ties helped us in football anyways. It certainly doesn't stop the bigger Texas programs. What all those schools do have is low ressources and yet a demonstrated ability to hold their P4 opponents to respectable scoring outputs. Regarding Cassity, I put zero stock in his top 20 defense. That is 100% a reflection of the CUSA competition. Allowing 39 to Texas State and 45 to a 4-8 UCF team is unacceptable and shows what he's actually capable of. I was ridiculed for calling out our game management and highly inconsistent offense early this year only to be proven right. I'll take the hit here again but I don't want to read BS about what went wrong if and when he fails.

      Breaking: North Texas set to Hire SHSU DC Skyler Cassity

      What's a reasonable expectation for our defense? Given this offense and the history of the Leach tree, I dnh't think T30 is within reach, but can we feel comfortable if Cassity gets this in the T30-60 range? Do we win 9-10 games with that level of play? Consider me cautiously optimistic. I totally get the concerns, too.
