Win out.... Is this season still a disappointment?

[p_phelps]

I say YES! 

This is THE team to take us over the top. Even if we beat Houston in the win out (Seems HIGHLY doubtful after seeing cal QB run all over us) we still got the doors blown off by cross town rival "daddy's money's team" and lost to a P5 we honestly had no business losing too. ( This game was completely frustrating from the self inflicted wounds). In the long run we win out, win conference in what looks to be extremely weak. What does this accomplish in the grand scheme of UNT planning? We lose our best player since Joe Greene and the best expected offense in school history. Win out and we say can't brag about us like last year. All my buddies went or are fans of P5 schools ( drives me F'ING!! nuts they can be fans of a school they never even applied too and still talk shit to me). Last year I could say we took UA to the woodshed, still heard "oh they suck though" and blah blah blah. WHAT CAN I SAY THIS YEAR? IFFFFF we win out I saw we ran house on a week conference and beat one good team in UH? 

THE team that was to take us to the next level disappointed no matter what happens next. 

[Wag Tag]

Nope! Win the C-USA champ game at the Ap! GMG 

[RiseUNT]

Win conference and a bowl game

[tmjerm]

Last yr’s team was more well rounded and experienced than this team.  I haven’t expected the same things I did last yr.  Blowing it with LT, UAB and ODU was super depressing.  SMU is much improved this yr.  We played awful then and the first half of this one, but winning out from here (as unlikely as that is) would put this up as the greatest year in our history.  2 loss conference champ and bowl winner sounds great to me. 

[MeanGreenWithEnvy]

No.

If we win the CUSA Championship and win a bowl game, I’ll be thrilled.

SMU will be a Top 25 team before the end of the year.

We’ve got a long way to go to run the table and win in the postseason, though.

It’s definitely not a disappointment if we win out or even with a loss to Houston. The team needs to focus on winning conference (which hasn’t happened here in 15 years) and a bowl game. If they do that, it will be a successful year. Until UNT is doing that consistently, then doing that would not be disappointing.

I agree with all but the SMU in the Top 25 part. 

They are not as good as they looked against us.  Somehow, don’t know why, they play their season’s best game (and we look like small children who just started playing pee wee football for the first time) every time we come to Dallas...every damn time.  

[TheColonyEagle]

No

[NorthTexasWeLove]

lol. 

If mosquitos had machine guns...

 

 

We ain't winning out. Hell, we may not go to a bowl.

It is not a lost cause. We win out, then I will chalk the early offensive woes to Reeder finally figuring things out. The defensive woes though is another story. We need to play a different style of defense. The 3-3-5 is not going to work consistently here. We just don't get the players to play it. If that is all TR knows then SL needs to move on from him. I am sure he is a nice guy, but being nice doesn't always translate to wins. We can run through CUSA after what I saw today. We need to change the defense and force D. King to beat us through the air.

Grammar

[MeanGreenTexan]

“Win out”, meaning beat Houston in 2 weeks, win every conference game (including the championship) & a bowl game... and be “disappointed“?

Did you really think that question all the way through?  Because I think I can speak for about 98% of Mean Green fandom when I say: NO!  I won’t be disappointed in going 12-2 with a C-USA championship & bowl win.

[UNTLifer]

Hell no it is not a disappointment. You stating that it would be and @NorthTexasWeLove‘s post are though.

ODU last year..  and last year's team was better...  SMU, CAL... ACU 2nd half... no bussey...  oline trash...

 

 

I'm incredibly frustrated with this team and coaching staff

Woody looked good with the O line, and those are terrible reasons on why we won't MAKE A BOWL. We should win at least 6 games in this terrible conference

Oline trash?  Nice🙄

[Salsa_Verde]

Disappointing two weeks no doubt about that but conference play hasn’t started. The season is not a wash, far from it. North Texas should win against UTSA and hopefully use that momentum to play their best game against UH.

A quarterback doesn’t pass for over 10,000 yards and 70 touchdowns with a “trash” OL. 

[FirefightnRick]

Of course not.  

Give me 10-2 including a win over Cougar high?  

Hell yeah!

I have to nominate this post as the Least Rational Post in the history of gmg.com.

Go 10-2, hypothetically at North Texas and be disappointed so much that you tell others that they should be too. I’m fairly certain we have never had a 10 win season in football in modern times, if not ever. If you think losing to Cal and SMU makes us look bad, you are going to freak the eff out and have a stroke when we lose to anyone else on the schedule besides UH, which we will do. Fine is special and his skill position players are solid, but the OL is average and the Defense cannot stop decent QBs—these were known issues coming into the year, which is why I had us going 8-4. Unless the wheels just fall apart around here, SL will lead us to a winning season and will be coaching somewhere else after this season. Don’t be disappointed in that, be thankful we have had this run to experience after Portland State massacred us at home by 59 points in a 1-win season. Be thankful to not be getting crushed at halftime by SBCUSA teams at halftime or suffering excruciating losses because of poor head coaching like we did under Dodge. Be thankful to not listen to your coach bad mouth the university and the fans almost any chance he could while only having 3 winning seasons in  9 years but still being honored by having a practice field named after him, while the one coach we have had in 50 years who accomplished great things here, Hayden Fry, is barely honored. That’s how you look at all of this.
