Good deal. I am flipping over during Duncanville/North Shore commercials. Watching our new member of the MGF, Upton Stout, in his last game for North Shore. 

I think the ref of the Westlake/Guyer game is Peter Griffin.

I am a little conflicted about how this game turned out. On one hand, I am glad SMU was humbled by a CUSA team. However, on the other hand, it just makes FAU look like they are miles ahead of us in this conference for a team that has only been playing football since 2001. This is their 19th year of playing football and they are already doing what we can't. There is no reason that we should not be dominating them year in and year out.

Beat them the most recent game (2018)

We really need a seperate SMU forum.

Who cares about SMU!

It’s the football equivalent of teaming up with Stalin to defeat the Nazis.

Pulling for FAU but I think SMU will beat them pretty handily.  Gotta admit it hurts watching SMU and FAU bowling while we sit at home...

Not at all surprised by the FAU beat down , smu was so overrated this year. But still gotta hand it to Dykes, took a non-fan supported bottom feeder to a fun winning season. I doubt the good year will improve smu fan support or attendance. Dallas area just doesn’t care about smu,  really never have except during the ongoing cheating years.

You are right. But, to be fair, they do not care for us either. Fans in the North Texas region are too much like Alabama fans. Meaning they are too busy cheering for a school and team in Austin that none of them ever attended.

FAU players focused despite the loss of their coach.

I think getting our asses handed to us TWICE by FAU in 2017 for a grand total of 110-48, in Mason Fines BEST statistical year

Mason Fine career Passing Stats

Year	Team	G	Cmp	Att	Comp %	Yds	Yd/A	TDs	Int	Sacked	Yds
2016	NorTx	10	155	261	59.4	1572	6.0	6	5	36	243
2017	NorTx	14	324	511	63.4	4052	7.9	31	15	39	289
2018	NorTx	13	303	469	64.6	3793	8.1	27	5	24	183
2019	NorTx	12	257	414	62.1	3088	7.5	29	9	26	178
Career		49	1039	1655	62.8	12505	7.6	93	34	125	893

is a much better example of FAU being miles ahead of us than them beating SMU.

Let's see, haven't we had this conversation already about Boise St., South Florida, and to a certain extent UTSA?

Another sign of a good program......thanks GM.

I know FAU seems miles ahead of us, but I can’t help but hope we can still leapfrog them and nearly all of G5 if we just get our shit together.

i feel like we are soooo close but there has always been one or two bad hires/things in the entire program  holding us back.

Historically our administration and our culture have been the main impediments. Keep in mind that fund raising at North Texas didn't get started until C.C. "Jitter" Nolan was hired.

FAU’s OC and DC are leaving to go to Southern Florida. 

I wonder if Taggert fired both of them or did the leave on their own?

Maybe we can beat FAU now?
