Well...we still have Littrell for a year or 2 more. 

Incredibly good news for us.

Remember this staff is doing what they are doing with bottom of CUSA recruiting classes.  Get them a couple of #1 classes and they can do more.

Good God, it is lose not loose. This drives me crazy. It is simple English.  @NorthTexasWeLove you are just a breath of stale air along with the others that give up during the game and then claim

This is a joke.  Littrell and Graham can't win a big game.  Harrel sucks on the second half against teams that are above average.  Doen vote me all you want.  Not wasting my time with the Rice.  Not g

What I wanna see from Littrell on next week’s Beyond the Green:

Littrell stand in front if the team and apologize for the coaching staff letting them down. Because that’s what happened. 

 

This one and the LA Tech game. He’s not going anywhere nor is Harrell.

UAB scrapped, taped and glued a  program back together.  We needed a miracle to beat them at home last year.  Upstart (r)FAU, UTSA, and FIU kick our ass.  Losing series history with all of them.  Makes it hard to sell the program to the Denton community.  Hell Liberty might be able to kick our ass in 2 years.

Meh. With this play calling and finnesse type of play we could have those classes and would still get punched in the mouth by physical teams. Recruiting is imperative, but so is philosophy. We teeter to and away from ours every game. When we go full out air raid we look great....when we try and get cute we get shut down. Until that bs stops it will be a lot of the same.

Right, getting the personnel never helps anything.

What makes you so sure. Chad Morris went to Arkansas without doing anything meaningful. Seth’s tenure has been more impressive than that despite not winning the big games (so far).

It's amazing how small the difference is between winning and losing. If our starting OT's were just slightly better we'd likely be undefeated.

The play calling was predicated and predictable. Some of those pressures go on play calling. The safery, which was the game changer (and the 4th and 2 bs call) falls squarely on this cross eyed offensive staff.

Good game guys. I look forward to travelling out to Denton next year. Mason Fine is a really great QB.

Thanks, but if our line can't protect him, he won't be able to play next year

We have to address this position to be competitive in this conference.  We created a monster in UAB now as they will be able to recruit better high school players.

Not the last series, but the second half was all Graham.  We destroyed them the first half with the passing game and then tried to run more in the second half. Fucked everything up. 

 Understand your logic. But does that mean GH is responsible for all successes we have also had?  I just find it strange when people want to blame the coach for everything that goes wrong but then talk about how great the players are when something goes well

We hit the upright on a FG attempt that would have won the game then we got the next one blocked (again that would have won the game). Tonight we fumbled on the 4-yd line when we were driving for the go-ahead score.  We've had some bad breaks this year.  We had all the breaks last year.  I don't know about everyone else, but I penciled us in at 6-2 at this point of the season.  A different path to 6-2 for sure,  but 6-2 none the less.  Think about that.  We're angry to be 6-2 after 8 games.  This is a different generation.  Could we be 8-0?.  Yes, but absolutely everything would have had to bounce our way.  Sometimes it doesn't   Let's regroup and win the rest.

This staff is working on their 4th recruiting class. Spare me your nonsense. 

And the first three didn't rank highly, if they can land who they will have committed right now, it'll be head and shoulders above the others.

If that's nonsense, bring the nonsense.

They are going to lose 30 people on the team deep, they will take a step back.

This pretty much sums it up. It is difficult to go undefeated.

Some perspective: I will take the 2 losses this season to any season I have ever watched as a UNT fan. All I ask is that our team is competitive in its losses. If we lose (and every team does), I want it to be by a possession with chances to win. It's frustrating, yes, but so much better than getting our heads beat in. We have the players, we need some more of them.

It is still a good year to be a Mean Green fan.

I agree completely. I'm not complaining, just offering my opinion. I've seen some really shitty football in my days as a Mean Green fan and I try to remember where we've come from.

Now.....for the rest of the season please don't bitch about attendance. IN THE DFW AREA YOU MUST WIN TO FILL UR STADIUMS. That's reality.....sorry SL and WB. You still have time to figure it out.

He gets antsy with the refs alllll at the wrong time. We do not need to run the ball anymore. Quit trying. It has now cost this team 2 games. Throw the damn ball 60 creative times a game. Tired of the bullshit paddy cake run attempts for good measure. Quit it. 

 

Well...we still have Littrell for a year or 2 more. Yay us. Don't let fat ass Jimmy Sexton baby this university for 3 or 400k more this off-season. Call that inevitable bs bluff tonight. 

no, false, cost us this game. If we ran with Easley when he was avg 10 yards a carry we would have won that game. Mason's come from behind of last year isn't holding up this year.

 If we can put together a program that wins 8 plus games almost every ,I for one would be very happy

      Honest tactical question here…

      Well MK, we have been running the damn ball. I believe I'm correct in stating that our leading rusher is Shane Porter, a 186lb WR transfer with (near as I can tell) a bum shoulder from Kansas State. He averages 7.2 yards per carry. McGill averages 5 yards per carry, and occasionally Sibley (#21) gets into the game. None of these guys was a starter in the beginning of the season. We have lost the services of Ragsdale, a very promising D. Harris (#44) who averaged 8.8 yards before he got injured, and Evans (#26) who was averaging 6.4 before he was injured. We have rushed for 1737 yards, and our opponents have put up 2269. Although sometimes it seems like much more. All things considered; I'd say that (except for very short yardage) we were running the ball pretty good. And this doesn't even take into account how many starting linemen we have lost since the first game of the season. What I think would have made almost as much difference as anything for us would have been the presence of 3 or 4 effective run disrupters in the middle of our defense.

      How 'Bout Some Blame For The BOR?

      A long time ago, when I was younger and Harry was running this board on a different setup with a guy named "Scotty" -- he just threw his hands up and said "I'M OUT." In my younger and more idealist vision, why would he do that? Why can't UNT be that sleeping giant and be TCU that invigorates their program? I went with @Cerebus to grab some tickets from Scotty since he wasn't going to use them anymore and I could definitely talk someone to use them. He was a normal guy, not angry, not a monster, just a dude. A dude who wanted to use him time and money elsewhere. Still, as an more mature and realist, I still don't know why not UNT. But I get Scotty. This AD is terrible. Moseley and his C-suites are terrible hires. Wren wasn't good. At that VERY least with RV he made the fans like us feel heard and appreciated. RV definitely had his faults and I was not a big fan. Chief Revenue Officer. LOL. General Manager. LOL.

      Stupid post. What you want us to become a craphole like UTA? I question your allegiance for even asking that.

      How 'Bout Some Blame For The BOR?

      You make some great points. I am starting to think we need a Doge type of audit of the AD. We have a HUGE AD budget compared to similar AAC schools and are not getting results.

      If it worked at UIW why not here?

      Damn good point. I had not thought of it that way.
