I hate the “new” era of college football.  As much as I’ve always loved college football, I just don’t know how long I can continue to be a fan.

Nothing changed from 2020, culture still isn’t great, coaches (Littrell Mainord etc) are still airheads who won’t change their ways, and other stuff that makes this program a disaster.

 

Where are the Littrell apologists now? We know y'all are out there. What an absolute joke this program has become. Content with mediocrity, no effort whatsoever to improve or bring in new talent or fresh ideas. And some of y'all thought this team could win 10 games next season. I will literally throw a party the day Littrell is fired.

His parents were absolutely sweethearts and loved being at UNT.  Loved visiting with them at the games.  I wish them only the best.  Really hurts to read this news tonight.

We will be very lucky to win 3.  I am calling 2.

We really haven’t had much of an issue with this, honestly. The vast majority of guys we have lost were players who were not starters or even rotational players. Then we have lost guys like Brammer and Cam Johnson who were starters but already played 4 seasons for us and only had an extra season because of COVID. 

This is definitely much more of a leaving a sinking ship situation, like you mentioned, than it is that schools recruit our players or that there’s no point in developing high school players anymore.

Sinking ship could be true, but I think you are wrong to believe these kids haven’t been contacted by other schools. They have options in their hip pocket. Screw developing HS kids!

Their dad on Twitter is cracking me up. The comeback to them having a lot of personal foul calls? “Not 1 penalty in a close game”. Haha if that’s how you wanna look at it. Gotta laugh to mask pain sometimes.

Sad that they probably have that same attitude/mentality. Struggle when football is done.

Screw developing HS kids. You are nuts. Yes I’m little biased. My son worked to graduate early from HS to enroll early. He is working his tail off with the team.. You develop your whole roster. If they leave have a player ready to step up. Players have to be ready. Don’t screw any player that wants to play..

WB gets to sleep on his own bed for keeping SL. New coach and fresh approach may have kept the pillars of this program in place. Holy crap this has turned into a cluster F***.

I’m not saying it has never happened, just that it isn’t some epidemic that is causing us to lose good young starters.

Name another player besides the Murphy twins who we signed out of high school, they became a starter as an underclassman, then a bigger program poached them away before we got to enjoy them as upperclassmen.

Thank you sir for your sacrifices and your sons hard work. G5 have always been short on depth. We will not be able to stop schools from cherry picking our team either by offering a better conference or what could be more damaging is NIL money. The portal is going to become more important for schools like ourselves.

History is dead. This is now the transfer portal and NIL money. We better be able to adjust and quickly.

You can’t name one because it hadn’t happened. The transfer portal has been around for 4 years now. The ability to not sit out a year after transferring has been around for 2 years. And you can’t attribute this transfer to NIL money. There has been no NIL deal signed. This is all just conjecture based on buzz words with no evidence.

Embarrassing that we have fans that would talk trash to him on Twitter.

The portal has never been this big until now,  NIL money and monies raised for NIL payouts has not happened until now. The publicity or social media isn’t about HS players it is about transfers. This is real time evidence!!

They are going to WVU, watch. In the farewell post they referenced Jeff Koonz who hasn’t been with us since 2018 and is now coaching at WVU with newly hired OC Graham Harrell. My gut says we are selling off the good parts of the car before we strip it down and find new a new owner. Truly disgusting if true.

Wren is only one to blame if he let's it get that far. Seth never should have made it past the bowl game. But after recruiting was a complete bust should have been enough. Now exodus of our future. We have a big problem.  Also notice our recent offers are not D1 talent worthy by majority.

It would be foolish to stop emphasizing high school players. The caliber of players we are talking about (UNT starters) have struggled to get any real NIL money thus far. At schools like UNT or at bigger name programs.

      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?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
