Take some time tonight to blow off steam but tomorrow wake up and realize that we are still really fortunate to be where we are. Tonight’s loss hurts just as the other two did but we still are going bowling, have the top rated CUSA recruiting class, and our head coach has the best career win/loss record of any coach we’ve had in the 40 years since Fry’s last season.

lol ok. There won't be 2500 people on Thursday night for a 8:30 pm kick against a Florida school that is named after an ocean. That is also going against the first round of TXHS football playoffs.

You are angry but think about the alternative, we could be 1-8 right now looking for our next head coach after we had fired Chico or Doug Meacham. Just a few hours ago people were worried about our coach heading to P5 and now he isn’t good enough for us? He is still one of, if not the, best P5 head coach prospects out there.

That isn't true. I stopped worrying after Clark out-coached him and UAB beat us.

For the first time since I've lived in Texas, Lewisville is good and finished the season 8-2 and going to the playoffs.

It seemed like a forgone conclusion earlier in the season. Now? Not so much.

Who exactly is going to hire him?

Man. I CANNOT WAIT until we don’t start everything with “have some perspective, we’ve been bad for a long time”

I hope we get there before I die. 

I used to think it was a joke. I start to chuckle, then I realize they're serious. And my brain can't grasp their thought process.

This team QUIT.  That’s why I’m considering not making the 2.5 hour trip on Thursday.  That’s inexcusable.  But I shouldn’t be surprised.  Ever since Arkansas we have played soft after the first quarter.

Not likely any big openings in the region anyway, unless the "Ancient One" at KState decides to retire. Doubt a Rutgers-type team would hire him regardless.

Yeah I loved watching my little mighty mite D tackle fighting these big monsters from Bell last night and helping his Kangaroos earn their first 6A playoff birth in 11 years.

So proud of him.

NO! Time for perspective was last year. This day in age change happens rapid or it doesn't happen. We were expected to win this year. We have so far. But NO, NO "PERSPECTIVE" allows for a blown 28-0 lead to a 2 win team AFTER A F'ING BYE! We have been exposed by La Tech and have not adapted since. We have been ahead early in every game and then blown up. This is on the OC and HC! I don't want to lose SL but this loss is on them. "Selfless, Tough, and Discipline"? We were the opposite on all 3 tonight.

Good grief, not one, not two,  but three times we have blown the lead this season! I drank myself to sleep last night hoping to forget about this game...

16 points is all that separates us from an undefeated season.  I wish we had those wins, and this last one was very disappointing, but I'll be there cheering Thursday night and in San Antonio at the end of the season.  I know there are a bunch of other programs that wish they had our problems right now.  #GMG

      He could be a really good example of the rich getting richer if his draft stock stays low due to his age. Imagine a team like Dallas, Boston, Denver, or OKC getting him late in the first round and bringing his energy off the bench for the next few years. I'd hate for my team to go against him.

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      This could be our Deion Sanders hire or our Trent Dilder hire. Definitely could be a huge hit or a massive miss. If UNT wants a circus, I got my popcorn ready.

      Not a good day for the Big East either. These "ranked" teams losing big just show how unreliable early season rankings are. Wonder if UConn will be ranked after 3 straight loses.

      He’s the HC. Who’s to stop him from making the final decisions? He does it because he can and he’s got free reign. These are just some of the poor HC tactics he’s made. Regarding missing two FGs the last game, one was on the kicker and the other on EM. The second miss was due to the FH team getting out late. Probably coz he was unsure whether to go for it or not. Then he scoots the unit out late. You hate to rush things like that.

      AAC News: New Rice HC, Scott Abell

      I think running the triple option is a genius move by Rice. I’ve always wanted North Texas to do it and believe it will be even more effective in today’s NIL/transfer portal environment. If Rice gets a great triple option QB, he is less likely to be poached by the P4. Why would they need a triple option QB? Running the triple option, Rice can use smaller, more athletic offensive linemen who are easier to acquire and retain as these type of players are also in less demand by the P4. You do need good running backs, but this is the easiest position to acquire and many good running backs would be excited to play in this offense. A triple option offense also shortens a game and can give a “less talented” team a better chance to win by limiting the possessions and opportunities of the other team (See North Texas basketball) Good move by Rice. This differentiates them and I believe it will be successful. Maybe UNT’s next coach can bring the slot-T offense (which is wildly successful right now in Texas high schools) back to major college football?
