***LaTech (un)Official 2020 game thread - Bring your own w(h)ine***

I'm still here because the Hub Club sorta still has the heat on and walking to the Blue Lot will be cold torture... As soon as the coffee is out, I'm out.

[Monkeypox]

If I'm coaching against UNT and have anything less than a 4th and 5, I go for it. Don't care where it is on the field or when it is in the game or the score. There's no reason not to go for it against us.

Darden again. He is one of the few reasons I’m still here

[CMJ]

Offense isn't playing too bad, but the defense is just ridiculously bad.  I mean maybe not quite like the Navy game back in 2008 or whenever, but bad.

What a waste that was.  

[Gibbz]

Tee it high!...

[p_phelps]

we need competent QB play. I knew missing Mason would hurt but my god.

[MeanGreen2019]

Why. Why run it three times in a row up the middle when you’re down by 2 scores and your defense is bad. 

 

FEED THE BALL TO DARDEN. 

[ntmeangreen11]

That was the game.

Three straight easily telegraphed runs where La Tech had the advantage in terms of players in the box vs blockers. 

Seth is very inconsistent when it comes to play calling, that was bad.

[jtm0097]

Field Goal attempt in the wind. What could go wrong?

[scratch1976]

Terrible play calling!!!

[GrandGreen]

Well, I guess running it 3 times right up the middle down double digits in the fourth quarter, really didn't surprise them.

 

[DeepGreen]

I miss Mason Fine.

[Travis]

Ready for an overhaul.  Poor discipline.  Questionable playcalling.  After last year I was quick to defend SL. He cleaned house with coaches and we look worse.  I don't have faith in him anymore. 

[Pavlovs Eagle]

Remember when we played Army on a cold Thursday night a few years ago?

Me too, but how would that change ANYTHING about this game?

Would Mason stop the run?

Would he veto piss poor play calling?

Would he throw AND catch the ball...because we have dropped about five crucial passes.

Would he prevent costly penalties?

Bean is not a Qb! Move to receiver! I know

[Side Show Joe]

"I am almost 100% certain North Texas will lose to LA Tech tonight. Why?

Littrell has not beaten a team that finished their season with a winning record in 30 straight games. That goes all the way back to almost halfway through the 2018 season. Wow! It is time for new leadership this off-season."

 

 The above post got me a -1 on the prediction thread. Littrell is now 30-30 as a coach (1-4 against LA Tech), and our program has now gone 31 straight games without beating a winning team.

When are our administrators and some of our fans going to wake up and realize Littrell is not going to build a real program at North Texas. We need to go in a different direction this off-season.

Eye roll and -1 all you want, but you can't argue against the facts.

If we are going to get our ass beat at least the young guys who are in no danger of losing their redshirt are on the field.

No one is losing any eligibility this year.  No one is losing any shirts this year.  Everyone Is allowed to come back after the NCAA is allowing a one-year freeze on things due to COVID.

[BillySee58]

Bean played decently but the biggest problem with him at QB is it’s pretty clear Littrell doesn’t trust him. You have to trust your QB to push the ball, not even downfield necessarily but in the intermediate ranges. He just hasn’t been even giving him much of a chance there. 

We’ve got some pretty glaring personnel issues and Littrell needs to feel the heat enough to address them. You don’t trust your QB? Get one you do. Your defense keeps getting shredded and your still playing the same guys all season? Get some upgrades. 

Whether we consider him on the hot seat or not, he has to feel enough pressure to not keep allowing the same mistakes to be made. Everything feels way too status quo and this sure as hell better not be okay as the status quo. Even the coordinator firings didn’t yield any substantial change. 

[GrandGreen]

Dominated by a bad La Tech and few could be surprised. 

Darden was definitely worth the time to watch.

Bean was indecisive and had that "deer in the headlights" look.  However, I thought his passing is improving.

Fortunately, this season is probably over. 

This team obviously needs new leadership.  That won't happen; so hopefully Littrell can somehow improve.

Good game UNT! Glad you're in CUSA. Glad to get the win after not playing in a month. Hopefully we can beat TCU on the 12th.

No not trying to be hurtful. Glad we're in a conference together. I was worried about the game tonight considering how long it's been since we last played. Glad to get the win and love playing in the metroplex! Glad to have a game against TCU next week and hopefully we'll get the win!
