***OFFICIAL UNT VS UNLV GAME THREAD***

[GabeGMG]

I may just be salty, but how is UNLV's slot machine TD celebration not unsportsmanlike conduct?

The best part of this game is that refs voice. Like silk... Or butter...

Reminds me of Dave Chapelle playing the Allstate guy on SNL: "My deep Black voice makes white people safe. Like they are in good hands."

Wait, wait, wait... Is this the annual coaches wives trip????

We have Memphis next week. Isn't this great?

Honestly at this point, just pile it on.  Anything that gets us to firing SL...sooner.

Makes me sick saying that.  Love our student-athletes.

The deepest part of my soul agrees with this.   Just beyond time to move on.

Dammit. I could've been watching Loyola Marymount vs. Pepperdine water polo on Stadium instead.

Many teams do things like that on the sideline

[greenminer]

My submission for Vito's ROTR was 7 wins.  As of right now, I feel like 5 wins would be a pleasant surprise.

[GrandGreen]

Surprisingly bad for even NT.

Can't blame this one on Aune or the offense.   The defense was non-existent.

Screw it, I am *definitely* not forgiving him for past sins if he beats Memphis!

The celebration rules are vague enough to outlaw it, prohibiting "[a]ny delayed, excessive, prolonged or choreographed act by which a player (or players) attempts to focus attention upon himself (or themselves)."

🤔 now what was I saying about a second half blowout.  🤷🏽‍♂️

At this point even a 7-5  wouldn't be enough to make me want to keep Litrell.

You are in no danger of having to revisit this pledge.

Don't those rules apply to play on the field only? Meaning as long as it's on the sideline and doesn't affect the flow of the game the don't apply?

Wren has made some incredible hires.  I want to see him make his first football hire, even if it is later than it should have been.

If?

[TripleGrad]

I suspect the AAC is looking for loopholes in our contract right now.

[Green Otaku]

Our collective anger/disappointment is crashing this site. Or is it just problems on my end? 😅

I don't see 5 more wins on this schedule.  I am confident (if the team hasn't quit on the coaching staff by then) we beat Rice.   Health of key starters on both sides guaranteed I give us better than 50% shot to beat FIU and La Tech.    And my La Tech opinion could change once they play a G5 team to see where they are athletically.  I just don't see 5 more wins.  5 wins this season I what I expect.  They might eek out a 6th win.

As I look at this game, I am wondering where SL's offensive prowess is. If I remember correctly, we hired him because of his offensive capabilities. Seeing this crap inside the 5 happen every week makes me wonder if he made crap calls in his past stops and the HC overrode his calls and it made him look like an expert. If that's not the case then he should have overridden those stupid goal line calls so we could get TDs instead of nothing. UNLV's defense is just as bad as ours. They just had better offensive play calling. I attribute that to coaching.

A lot of penalized celebrations don't affect the flow of the game, like simpler touchdown celebrations in the end zone.

I don't see any wording that excludes sideline celebrations like this slot machine bit, but maybe there's an unwritten understanding they won't get called.

I hope WB is putting a help wanted sign up this week.
