Dude, just shut the F up. Nobody wants Aune hurt.

So you are telling me the Mean and Green board crowd would be upset if Aune pulled a hamstring? Get real. They’d be pumped.

Frank Harris answers in OT. Headed to 2nd OT. What a game.

Update: Frank and UTSA score to take the lead however failed on the forced 2pt conversion. Let’s see how UAB responds.

That is not even close to accurate, but keep going.

Good. Maybe this will stop the “Denton doesn’t want UNT” narrative because anyone in the know will tell you the problem is UNT.

What were they saying about putting the Flying Worm back into the vault for a while?   Grrrrr

Damn. UAB comes up short. Final: UTSA 44 UAB 38

[Coach Mac Andy]

Today’s game was overall a pleasant surprise. Other than the hilariously bad music choices, everything was a significant step up from the past couple.

I'm all for wearing every game (as long as we keep winning) 💚

[PDXPRAK]

Call me petty, but I would love to see this team just put up 70+ points for once. Today was a perfect chance for that lol 

[Green Otaku]

It's still maddening that Litrell won't let another QB throw. I get Earle is there to run, but when things get long they throw Aune back in there? Let him throw, or put any of the other QBs in if Earle is only ever going to run it.

We did that a few years ago playing Nicholls State.

That was maddening. Oh, Earle is in... I wonder what he's gonna do

I think they were just trying to run clock by running, and not run up the score too.  I was surprised Aune even came on the field after half having already scored 45.  They could  have played Gunnell in the 3rd and Earle in the 4th, get some others backup reps.

Stone Earle = Quinn Shanbour.

High completion percentage at ACU.  Just because they’re not letting him throw while burning clock doesn’t mean he can’t throw.

That's fine and understandable. Let him run some clock down and waste some time to put the game away. However when we are 3rd and long and you are forced to throw the ball, why pull him out? If Earle is the guy next year these are invaluable real game snaps that we are just throwing away. On top of that there is almost no risk if he screws up with such a large lead. IMO golden chances to build for next year just wasted.

Seth is stubborn.  It’s year 7…you surely aren’t surprised are you?  Tigers don’t change their stripes.

I don’t think he means Earle and Shanbour are the same player. I think he means they get the same opportunity. Go in there and run out the clock. Passing not allowed.

You're right. I guess I should be mad at myself for thinking he would do something different.

WOAH WOAH WOAH.  Let's hold off any Shanbour opportunity comparisons.  The Q-Shan came in to sub for Fine, late 1H AT Iowa, and proceeded to score a TD pass.

Earle just got here.  give him time (and a Guyton).

[NorthTexasWeLove]

Given the moderate success and it being homecoming, that was pitiful attendance. Team looked good, FIU is terrible. 

It's obvious though, the casuals are not coming back with Seth Littrell at the helm.

What was attendance?

Does anyone really still believe the problem ISN'T the UNT Administration?  There's a million other issues du jour they'd rather cater to for 15 minutes than the push forward Athletics and their overall positioning as Texas' leading public higher education institution north of Austin.

Sad and potentially unpopular opinion but it's fact.
