You guys take care and I wish you all the best.  I see no hope for the future so long as our current coach is in the lead.  It pains me to see our Alma mater struggle so mightily.  It didn’t have to be this way.  We are year 6 in the regime and still getting beaten like a step child by our cross town rivals.

Lol okay have fun.

Clearly not a real fan because real fans don’t quit mid season.

I have some hope that we can turn things around, there were signs of improvement for sure. 
You would’ve thought we lost by 70 last night, and didn’t hold a top 25 offense in SMU to 7 points at half.

But wait! Didn't you read the stats? We had 506 total yards, fewer turnovers, more time of possession, and more 1st downs. 

How can you pass up all that...... potential?,,,,,,,,,😠

Chill out people.  Team is improved.  SMU is a very good football team and that will show as the season progresses.  We gave them all they could handle in the first half.

I know. These people act like this was last years team and game against SMU. I just don’t understand why everyone is acting crazy. I would understand, because I acted crazy after last years game, but now it doesn’t make sense.

This kinda reminds me of the 2017 team. Except the offense and defense are flipped

As you get older, you’ll find that there will be way more fans that leave here because this place drives them insane…there’s a reason we have 2% of the alumni that care enough to stick around. It’s a tough sell.

There's alot of guys on this board that have been through year after year of one and two win seasons at that crap hole we called Fouts Field and they still gave their money and showed up. Calling it quits after one disappointing loss is really shity and it shows how much some of yall actually are actually invested in North Texas and its success.

some of y’all disappoint me every year

We all knew it was a long shot to beat SMU so why is everyone whining after we lost? This wasn’t a secret. Hell, the fact that our defense gave us a chance makes me more excited about this season than I was before the game..

I think we pay the football coaches too much money and continue to extend them way too early. No incentive to work hard at a North Texas gig. Golden parachute on their way out the door. Didn't go to the game, didn't re-up on ESPN+, or listen to the game. Results are fairly predictable. I know its curse words, but hell, I'm not opposed to going FCS in football; in hopes of trying to develop a National Championship FCS program. Set a goal to come back in 5 years. What is there to lose? Attendance won't suffer, our marginal recruits won't back away. We are not serious candidates to move in a better conference. At this time, I'd be delighted to go back to the Sunbelt. Maybe we can save money and do away with that Wing in the end zone.

I’m just glad we don’t have UTSA until the last game.  Getting curb stomped by that place is embarrassing and runs me off every time.  Getting blown out by schmoo makes me want to do the same, but at least I can justify it by acknowledging sonny dykes and his staff are just better across the board.  They’ve crushed the transfer portal and basically took the lead there that everyone in the nation is now trying to follow.

Wren has few negatives, but this was an early one that is a valid point.

How do you even go into a UNT season NOT expecting to get hurt? Some of us even thrive on it.

Its "Fifty Shades of Green" around here. Which is now a book I should totally write.

That, and $1.50, will get you a cup of coffee.

Though I wasn’t at the game, or even in the state, I watched a good amount of the game on my phone.  
 

We were more competitive than we were last year.  This year we worn down and eventually overwhelmed by a better team.  Last season we were out of the game from the beginning.  
 

Am I happy with where we are?  Nope

Do I think this defense still has a ways to go before they are great?  Yep.  Do I think they are better than last year?  Yep

Do I think Ruder is the savior, or will singlehandedly win games, at his current playing level?  Nope.  

Do I think he’s better than Aune (the real Aune, not the “I’m mad at Ruder/Bean so I’m watching with confirmation bias” Aune)?  Yep.

Am I gonna join in the early season chicken little echo chamber?  Nope. 

Do I understand that this is college football and sometimes things go badly (anyone wanna go look for sunshine and rainbows on the Texas or Florida State message boards)?  Yep.

Will I be there for UAB, fully ready to cheer my alma mater’s football team?  Yep.

This is North Texas. There are no fake fans after all these years of suffering punctuated by occasional hiccups of happiness.

Look at all the CUSA scores from this week.  UAB played a great team and it showed, but the others were mostly just as unimpressive or more so than NT.  

Anyone abandoning a team because they don't like the coach, bad loses, conference, etc. are not really fans in the first place.  Fill those extra three hours with something worthwhile like charity work, self improvement courses or home projects.  

I had a post about what some people want after losing.   Fire the coach or change the QB, add give up and quit your team.

      🙄 like I have stated before DC under a lame duck coach is not a highly desired job for coaches with options.

      That is very subjective. Boise State or UNLV probably will get the G5 spot in the playoff over a one loss Army team. Louisville, SMU, Houston, Rutgers and Cincinnati left conference for greener pastures. So I don’t know who anointed the AAC as 5th, but the playoff committee isn’t listening to them. Army, a team brand new to the conference that came into the conference and dominated. They were independent juggernauts last year at 6-6 🙄. AAC is viewed as better than the MAC, CUSA and Sun Belt. But we certainly won’t be viewed as better than the reconstructed PAC 12 and right now it doesn’t look like we are viewed better than the current MWC.

      Football at The Dat next wrekend

      Don't if y'all know this or not.....but the last two years we've had Texas high school football games played in Louisiana. Both years the games have been at Turpin Stadium in Natchitoches. As a matter of fact, this year they hosted two games on the same day. (Daingerfield versus Newton, and Texarkana versus Port Neches Grove). Both games were last Friday.

      The exact same thing was probably thought by other fan bases about Eric, Seth, Dan, and any other head coach we’ve hired here.
