Yes I repeat myself with this Ancient vignette about a win in 1975 over the Vols, but these kind of things still happen now even later in a season.  

Last year we kicked SMU’s butt causing them to go transfer portal crazy so it wouldn’t happen to them again yet in front of their fans😆 & then later last Fall SMU kicked Houston's.   Go figure.🤔 

THIS:  We are all passionate about our school & our MG football team—let’s not give up on them now. 

• Ordering my MUTS tickets later this week.

✅ See y’all at Apogee on October 19’th  for a 3:00 pm kick.

Football is an emotional game, and teams do get stronger or weaker as the season progresses.

There are all kinds of examples where a team was destroyed in a game and come back in a championship or bowl game and return the favor. 

The season has not even got to the mid-point, NT has a chance to have a very good season.  

NT is not likely to play anyone else as good as the teams that have beaten them. 

I don't think the NT lines are going to be overmatched in CUSA.   

Just cut down on the opponents' long plays and don't get behind by two tds or more in the first quarter.  That should be the key to success in league action.

 Win out the regular season games you got a 9-3 season with CUSA Championship game probably played in Apogee......it could.happen!! But it starts Oct 12 with USM and that game will set the tone for the drive to win the west.

Game hasn't even started and I'm 90% positive we are already down 2 TD's in the first quarter.

I am assuming that you are alluding to our loss to Oklahoma State that year.  That score is a bit misleading, since OSU had tapped into our communicatons system and knew our plays.  On a level playing field it might have been a different score.

      Unfortunately I feel like many folks might rather watch the Notre Dame/Indiana playoff game on Friday.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      We've shown over the last handful of seasons that we have one of the most suffocating defenses in the country. I still think the defining game of this era was the NIT semi against Wisconsin when we held them scoreless the last nine minutes of regulation.

      Breaking: North Texas lands Miami QB Transfer (Free)

      Ok so what's your suggestion? Don't get a QB? I'm confused as to what the end goal of your argument is. Regardless of who we get, we're going to suck? Looks like you're complaining just to complain.

      Not thrilled about playing State

      I'm looking forward to the game. In-state bragging rights up for grabs and a good built-in storyline with the two head coaches going head-to-head. Should be a lot of hype leading up to the game. I know we have a couple games on future schedules, but it would be good to rekindle the series. Give me an annual matchup against Texas State over the likes of South Alabama or any FCS opponent. I'm not going to call this a litmus test for coach Morris, but it's pretty close to one. His tenure has not gotten off to the start we were sold on. In fact it's been pretty disappointing. In two seasons, Morris has a record of 11-13 (.458). Those 11 wins have come against teams with a collective record of 45-87 (.341). His signature win is against South Alabama who finished 6-6 in the regular season this year, but did win their bowl game to finish 7-6 to become only the second team with a "winning" record he's beaten (FCS SFA at 7-5 is the other). Ouch. 2 of the 11 or 18.2% of coach Morris's wins have come against FCS opponents. 4 of the 11 or 36.4% of coach Morris's wins have come against teams named Tulsa and Temple. This is going to be an important game for coach Morris. I hate to utter these words, but is this an "opportunity" game? If we win, he will get a little bit of a lift and goodwill for the program and his tenure so far. If we lose or do so in embarrassing fashion, I think his time here is running out. Of course, I don't know how we treat bowl games anymore. They run the spectrum of meaningless exhibition games to the game that defines a coach's legacy. Should be fun.

      Mississippi Valley State (12/18/24)

      Sure. But this wasn't the first game I have thought this about. My knowledge of hoops is limited and I try to stay out of posting on the BB board for that reasons. Maybe it happens multiple times every game played by every team, but it seems like NT's defense forces this turnover type regularly against good and bad teams. Probably just selective memory. GMG
