My friend did make fun of me. Until we started 4-0, beat Arkansas and got a few top 25 votes. Then he even went to the La Tech game with me. He was amazed at the atmosphere. Then we blew that game. 
 

And he hasn’t been back.

That was so defeating and you saw it coming. There was so much distraction and our coaches did not have the team focused. 

 

I had the same, I had talked several friends to come to that game and then as usual we laid an egg. I don't think any of them have been back to a game since some will stop by and tailgate but that is it.

We did not lay an egg that day. It was a great game with an even better atmosphere between two of the better CUSA teams that season. Anyone using that night as a reason to never come back didn’t want to be there in the first place.

We led 21-0, or 21-7. It wasn’t because the team wasn’t prepared, it was the in game adjustments. That was the trend for our teams back then…start hot, then hold on for the win.  It should have never even been close. LaTech weathered the storm and beat us. Sucked that we lost, but it was a good game/atmosphere.

You know LATECH did that with less resources and facilities than NT.  We should have dominated CUSA but were in the middle of the pack.

I don't think SL even carries about the qb spot-he needs a qb coach who can work on mechanics and see the field better.   I think you need someone who has played the position.  We are not getting 5 star qb here and we have develop them.   SL doesn't let the backups play much to develop them for next year.   I know at this point he is trying to save his job.

We were up 21 - 6 at the end of the 1st qtr. but with 20 unanswered points by La Tech in the 2nd we were losing by the end of the half 21-26 amazingly bad to a conference mate at home? I did not say not prepared I said they were not focused and they made tons of mistakes after we got up. 3/4s of the game was hard to watch.

It was all down hill after the 1st quarter, that is laying an egg in my book, sorry and in front of a huge crowd no less.

If that game was laying an egg then your book considers every loss an egg, which is insane. This past Saturday was an egg. Getting a game winning FG blocked in the final seconds is not.

You’re right. It was the most spirited I’d ever seen a UNT fan base, though. Positive and negative. Regardless of the coach, I hope I’m able to experience it again. It’s fun when the games matter. GMG!

You should worry about your book not mine. I guess we have different views of this game. The giving up of 20 unanswered points in the 2nd bothered me.

Sure that sucks, but it’s not laying an egg. Getting blown out by 38 is laying an egg.

      And camps. Just from Twitter, people claim it’s highly attended, organized, and well run. At the very least, it gets kids on campus and further develops a relationship with the kid/families/coaches. He’s been a positive for UNT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Unfortunately, I feel like pep bands all over the country are largely getting sidelined for the DJ music and "Let's make some noise!" kinda stuff. It's definitely not unique to NT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Football season ticket holder here that normally starts going to b-ball games once the calendar flips to the new year & my schedule opens up. But since UNT is a #basketballschool now, starting earlier this year. First off, anyone agree with this assessment? When I go to football games I'm just waiting for the proverbial kick to the nuts in the second half. East Carolina was a perfect microcosm of this. Oh look! We're up 21-0!! What are we going to do to blow it? And sure enough, we do. Over and over again. With basketball, I feel the exact opposite. Whether it's Minnesota, Oregon State, etc, what are we going to do to win it? And more times than not, we do!! Clutch, clutch, clutch. Well done team! I love it. Really liked the game presentation too. The only thing I've noticed is it seems the pep band is getting less "air time" if that makes sense at the expense of giving the hype guy more exposure. Kinda an ass-whip if you ask me. "SOMEBODY MAKE SOME NOOIISE!!!!!", "EVERONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!!!!". We can be loud on our own without being told, thank you very much. It s almost like a warm-up act before he heads down to Dallas for his 2nd job at Baby Dolls. With that solid radio DJ voice he can then bark out "EVERYONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!! AND GIVE IT UP FOR DESTINY ON THE MAIN STAGE!!!!". Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about there. 🤣🤣 Happy Thanksgiving all and Go Mean Green!

      Is there a portal for coaches? Asking for a friend.

      The dislike for Coach O is incredible and this just shows what type of fans we truly have. His job is to get interaction with high school players and coaches and he's done a better job of that than anyone in the history of this school. His job is to get them looking at us and willing to talk to the school and that is happening.
