Plus what’s up with the offensives line? It’s been atrocious. 

I wouldn't say that after the Mean Green gained 241 yards on the ground.

I just can’t believe it’s gotten this bad. And I mean you can’t lie, the defense has taken a massive step forward, but there are limitations to what they can do when the offense can barely move the ball.

I just didn’t think losing Darden would make this offense really slow and extremely inconsistent 

It’s not just Darden.

We have lost our number 1 and 2 receivers.  We have lost our number 2 and 3 running backs and number one is hurt and only playing because there is no one to replace him.  Then, you follow that with basically having NO quarterback and this team is in a world of hurt.

It is correct that we were not going to be world beaters to start the season but injuries are killing us.

I flew to El Paso once, got a hotel, spent the weekend there and watched NT get blown out. It was an annoying waste of time and money. I won’t do it again when I know they will get destroyed.

I was shocked they didn't even bring the Cheerleaders... And the LA Tech dance team performed at in the 2nd half and the announcer seemed to thing that the UNT dancers were doing to perform with them (maybe this was a poorly placed joke that I missed).

The University can't put Cheerleaders and the dance team on a single charter bus and drive them four hours to Ruston? They honestly could have done a round trip without a hotel night on Saturday.

We had just as many people in 2019 here when we lost in Ruston and I specifically remember cheer and Scrappy being here.

This is basically my experience except I drove to the New Orleans bowl against Troy. Decided I wasn’t taking another trip like that again. Definitely an annoying waste of both time and money. That decision has paid off as the very next year, the New Mexico Bowl against Utah State managed to somehow be even worse. Hell its up in the air if I’m even driving back up to Denton this season.

I drove to ABQ for that bowl. Knowing the game might be ugly, I took the wife skiing in Taos before the game to lessen the pain and make the trip worthwhile.

ABQ is a great place to visit for sure and it took some of the pain of losing so badly away.  I was impressed with New Mexico University and the facilities.

I liked their facilities too. They have a lot of the makings of a solid program. Geography just isn't kind to them. But then again geography is kind to us and I have no room to speak.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
