Do you think having the bye week coming so late in the year may have played a small part in the teams performance since week

4?  They haven't looked like the same team since. I could be totally off,  but a small part of me thinks a break after game 5 or 6 would have

been beneficial to the team. Your thoughts?

I think so. LaTech and UAB both had breaks somewhere along the line before playing us. You can allow guys to recover when you get that break. We will see how they play against ODU coming off the bye week. I expect to see them firing on all cylinders again after the first quarter against ODU. I think they will come out a little slow after having the bye week, but will get it going in the second and will cruise to the win.

Too early or to late off weeks do not help the team.  I just hope we get everyone healthy again and run the table the last three games,  They we can go to a bowl and play Costal Carolina or Miami of Ohio.   😫

Thought about this early today. I would say definitely. It's easy to forget that these guys are students as well. If I was a student athlete having a game every single week for an extended amount of time would definitely impact my studies and vice versa. I'm sure a break will be really helpful for them.

We used to have a trend of coming out flat after bye weeks.  That may have been #olddenton.

Lucky ODU has the same problem with off weeks.

I think the teams needs it. They’ve been going at it since early August. It gives Robinson, Nick Smith & Tauaalo extra time to heal. The offense may get their mojo back also as @southsideguy mentioned above.

I saw Tauaalo not in uniform Saturday but could of sworn I saw him start the game. What happen to him?

      State of College Football

      I think that's his point. If you put more money into basketball, i.e. NIL, you attract better coaching/talent. It just seems it might be a better ROI when you have 5-7 players you have to pay versus the numerous ones you would have to pay in football.

      UAB (12/31/24)

      Memphis beating #16 Ole Miss the other day was huge for them. If we somehow can pull that win off along with the UAB win, we might be able to get some votes...

      Would You Really Rather Talk NIL/Transfer Portal

      I like this perspective. I feel like losing to a SBC team might be something that could hurt though. Although, to your point, not sure anyone will ever remember. For the people we really want to come to games, I think it does though. The casual college football fan barely even knows we exist. I think this game does more for NT fans we want to come see this team, but might not feel like it is worth it because they don't trust they can win.

      Uniforms

      Please don’t let them look anything like TCU or Iowa St. in their bowl games. Iowa St, whose colors are red and yellow, had on uniforms with neither of those colors. And TCU…just hideous from head to toe.

      Would You Really Rather Talk NIL/Transfer Portal

      I’ve watched way too many bowl games this year, so I’ll share my perspective as a football fan watching a game between two teams with whom I have no connection. 1. For the most part, I have no idea who’s skipping the game and I don’t necessarily care, though missing the starting QB carries much more weight than any other position. (I’m speaking to bowl games in general, not ours) 2. You say the games are meaningless, and I don’t disagree as it relates to each individual team, but…see #3. 3. The games are not meaningless as they relate to conference affiliation. The AAC being 6-1 makes a statement, as does the ACC being 1-9. I also think it says something that the mighty SEC is only 4-3 so far. If they are the dominant conference they are made out to be, they should be winning at least 75% of their bowl games, and they certainly shouldn’t be losing to G-5’s. 4. At the end of the day, nobody except UNT and TXSt fans are going to remember who won or by how much, or who had more players in the portal. They’ll just remember if it was a good game. I don’t think any more or less of any team I watched this bowl season, but I can tell you which games were good.
