This will be difficult to predict. Both teams are playing awful and we have a propensity to start slow (offensively), give up chunk plays on defense (no matter how well we play in stretches), and until we see something different I will say put it in the loss column.

M 31-UNT 24

North Texas...28

Marshall..........21
 

••• The Murphy twins have a knockout performance!
••• Aune has a career game.     
••• #3 rushes for 200+ yards
••• All is quiet on the Northern Front (for the moment)

••• True Story:  It has been said that weeks before Jerry Jones hired him, that Barry Switzer actually inquired about the North Texas head football coaching job.  (Maybe he had had a conversation with the late, great Hayden Fry about Denton)?  Fry was always a positive advocate of both UNT & Denton.  Look what they did for him (& what he did for us in a little over half a decade)?


If North Texas is looking for a new HFC at season’s end, I think some will be surprised at the pedigree who will apply. I won’t be one of them.
 Just look at all our varsity sports venues inside the Mean Green Village?  This one in the photo now toward the top of the list.  ❇️It’s the 3’rd largest of its kind in the sovereign state of Texas.  
 

Other venues are being planned beginning with what will be an apparent end zone expansion of the present Athletic Center.  
I’m sure Wren Baker got a nice tour of UM’s new End Zone facility beginning last Friday in Columbia, MO.

it won't be a big crowd, many walked away after the last home game.  I am still debating if I will be going.  I want to support the players but am very unhappy with the SL.

I was going to attempt to get a flight back in town early enough to see the game but at this point I'll probably just dump our HC Tix on one of the ticket sale sites and say a prayer we make a few bucks.

Shame on whoever agreed to us being a G5 Friday night game.

This one is difficult. NT is not good. But it has started to transpire that neither is Marshall. I can actually imagine NT winning this. However NT has shown that despite there being talent, this team has an absolutely incredible capacity of getting in its own way every time something good might happen (penalties, interceptions, drops, stupid 4th down calls... and have I mentioned penalties?)

I think the most likely course of the game is that NT will find itself with a surmountable lead somewhere in the third quarter with an FBS opponent, and because this is completely new to most of this squad (most of the players on this squad have not really learnt how to hold on to a lead in college), inexperience will show and they will allow the other team take their cake after all.

Marshall 28 (4 TDs), NT 26 (3TDs, one missed 2 point conversions, 2 FGs)

This could be one of the 3 wins we get this year.  My prediction: if we're not down by 3 possession in the 2Q, then we can win this.

Too bad we have a coaching staff that doesn't know how to prepare for games.

Fans in the stands still matters.  Just ask the Commissioners of conferences seeking new schools to add to their leagues.  

I DVR most G5 games being televised & I’m not seeing that many games with impressive attendance. UAB with a winning record surprises me the most with how empty their new stadium is.  

Yet wouldn’t the irony turn cruel on us if one of those Commish’s said:  “ Well, I was in the Apogee press box to look at both Marshall & UNT & ____________________________.” 😩

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ No doubt UNT athletics is getting high marks & 4 star ratings on our across the board varsity venues, but what will be said about our fan support in not so good times?

One quote from Fry I distinctly recall before he accepted the Iowa job was when he was talking to his NT assistants about possibly taking that job & that which he related to a DFW media person which was: “The Hawkeyes have lost for twenty years but they still sellout their stadium.”  

Truth be told I think it was that attendance scenario at U of Iowa that sealed the deal for him taking that job & taking most of all the NT assistant coaches with him—including NT alum & NT Athletic Hall of Fame member Bill Brashier.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
