[MrStrange18]

For you to be excited about this team again?

[MeanGreenTexan]

Me too... I just feel this board has been pretty dead/down due to our record is all.

 

[Pavlovs Eagle]

I'm always excited about college football, but I won't be excited about this team until we're in a Conference Championship game.

That being said, the season tix department always gets my $$$.

[Hunter Green]

Still excited for this team!

GO MEAN GREEN!

[UNTLifer]

I clicked "other."  I am still excited about this team.

[MGNation92]

As of this moment I have minimal levels of confidence in this team. If we lose to Southern Miss I seriously doubt our ability to make a bowl game

[UNT 90 Grad]

Still excited.  Conference title game would be more exciting, but still excited about this team.

 

(I'm hoping we can muster increasing excitement about next year's team.)

[Charlie NT 73]

I am excited about this team. 

Now the OOC’s games are over and done with, I see a new season beginning.  I fully expect a big turn around with the team and with winning games! 

This team will roll over people from here on out!

so we are back to the Dickey Days, of rolling over in OOC in order to dominate weak league. 

Got it, glad to pay coaching staff 4x the $$$ for results of 2001-2004 era

So we are ignoring previous results and focusing only on this year, got it.

Not even in the slightest, but I know that is your general outlook.

I think it's more so looking at this year's results and foreshadowing another probable 1-3 OOC record for next season. Because if we're all being honest with ourselves, 2-6 after back-to-back years in OCC is very likely.

So we are ignoring the past, focusing only on this year, and projecting the future, got it.

I've been excited about this team since we rolled in to Darrell Royal on September 4, 2004 and got WHUPPED 65-0... that's the first game i was an official Mean Green student for and i've never not been excited... 

[golfingomez]

Jesus, it takes 3 losses for our fanbase to lose hope? ya'll must not have been around very long.

So we are living in the past and not looking to improve the future? got it.

 

(I can generalize too!). Best to Learn from the past, focus on the future. I think the source of distress is we aren't living up to what that future could be

If we are projecting the future based on this year alone and ignoring other recent history, then we are choosing the worst case scenario and purposefully choosing a worst case scenario.

Winning fixes everything. A win at Southern Miss and North Texas has some momentum and juice going forward.

I don't think a 1-3 OOC record is a worse case scenario. I would say, given all the facts, it's the most likely scenario.

I too clicked "other", and for the same reason.

It has been a rough start for what will still be a fun season.

True, but to say that we have reverted back to Dickey's attitude of not really concerning ourselves with OOC is a worst case scenario.

Yeah, I didn't say that. And I don't personally think the team or coaching staff is approaching these games in that manner. I just think they were out coached/out played vs just laying down a la Dickey.

The next time you meet a Dickey player tell him they layed down for their OOC games.  A bunch of those Letterman are at every home game, I'm sure they would love to discuss this idea.

OK. 

And it more so was the philosophy taken by the coaching staff in those games, not the players. But I'll tell them. What are they going to do, beat me up? OoOoOoOoO... . .   .   .   .    .
