And Littrell’s competitors didn’t have improved facilities over their predecessors? Get real man, we don’t operate in a vacuum.

Tell me why he should return for his seventh year at $2 million per.

Seriously? That's the hill your going to die on? Of course they were talking about the athletic department, but that very much so includes football. Pretty sure it ranks football success as number one or two. 

Pending the Traylor contract, we have the highest paid staff, newest facilities, and have been investing the most in our program, with some of the biggest C-USA plans. Second or third largest budget, biggest growing city, most fertile recruiting grounds....

And we have a roof over our practice facility. Open your eyes man!

My point is that thus far, nobody in nearly 50 years has proven you can win consistently at North Texas, nobody.

Because these young players still believe in him and it shows. Because we will owe him that $2M regardless plus whatever Bennett would be owed.

Beating the spread would be a W..... Beating UTSA would be, right up there with a miracle by definition:

Miracle (mir·a·cle) /ˈmirək(ə)l/ - a surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a divine agency.

It actually is about $3 million to SL and Bennett has another year on his deal.

For the record, wunderground.com did not make the call with accuracy. But the rain was manageable and sporadic….much like the crowd. Empty is manageable.

Aune plays bad: "Typical Aune. Where’s Kason Martin?"

Plays well: "Not a bad pass but a little more on the outside and that’s 6." 

Teams losing: "Where can we find a quarterback?"

Teams winning: "Just goes to show this team doesn’t need Aune to win."

 

miserable haters 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Show me the lie in those statements

If Aune plays close to the level he’s playing at tonight, we can beat UTSA. I would love to be wrong, but I’m just not sure he can play like this against better competition.

He completed 6-12. Fifty percent is our bar for excellence for Aune? I think that says a lot. 

[UNTLifer]

Overlooked stat, 3 penalties for 35 yards.

That is the one part where I have real hope that the improvement is real and will also show up against better teams. Primarily because it is part of a trend, and does not appear like a one game blip. If this team had been this disciplined earlier in the season, the LaTech and Liberty games could have been wins.

Does not matter though, SL will be back next year barring a 70 pt loss to UTSA.

If he only has to drop back 12 times, that would mean we're controlling the game on the ground, and likely winning.

2.6 million to be exact.

I can’t argue with your logic but you might have missed my point. It was the only completing half of the passes that concerns me. Even more concerned that this is par for the course for Aune. 51 percent for the season ain’t good enough.

You have to admit the 18 yards per attempt looks pretty dang good though, at least for this game.

Remember, that is yards per attempt, not yards per completion.

He had some nice passes. He was hitting his receivers in stride on the deep ball. His worst deep ball pass was the 55 yarder to Burns, but Burns didn’t have a defender within 10 yards, so it didn’t matter.  

The pass to Lyles with a defender in his face was spot on.  Aúne seemed more confident last night.

Agreed. The deep passes he completed were a mixed bag. Some quite good. Normally one would brush off the misses due to the rain but as I mentioned earlier 50% is basically his season average.

This is why Carthel is my top choice. A different path than we have followed. Has built up programs at lower levels and has worked with less and been successful. He also seems to have a fan friendly personality.

He is my top choice too, if we were to move on from Littrell, but I’d rather Colby have a clean slate going into the American. On that note, SFA blew out Lamar today. Great to see. 

SFA in the FCS playoffs for the first time since 2014.

How old is Carthel?
