Look at all the matchups above us. Lol. Wow. We are pathetic. 

Again, basketball. 

Compare it to the other games on ESPNU. Many of the streaming and cable services do not carry ESPNU. Games on the major networks and ESPN have 20 times the available watchers.

This is what I noticed as well. Poor ratings but the best out of the ESPNU games.

Think this is important to note here. Also having it be a blowout didnt help.

FCS games on the NFL Network getting better ratings than FBS matchups on ESPNU tell me there is something screwy with these ratings.

Not necessarily. All the FCS games were HBCUs... those alumni are dialed in and actively seek out those watching opportunities. . That Jackson State game was particularly high 1. Because it was on ESPN and 2. everyone is curious how JSU does post deion

Glad we drew better than SMU. Also, I’m pleasantly surprised we drew better than the Tulane game. 

The linear exposure will be huge for us with the AAC. As a few small data points, I have family in the Midwest and on the west coast; I received multiple texts from them on Saturday saying, “We can watch North Texas games now!” They could have watched before on Stadium, but flipping through your cable program menu and seeing a team just makes it easier and more “real.”

The ESPN deal may help convert casual DFW fans into regular fans if we win enough.

This is one game I kinda wish nobody saw.

That seems to have almost happened. Small first day crowd in person, low TV watching.

This is just further evidence that geography does not equal eyeballs. That’s why so much of the conference realignment talk about media markets is just ridiculous.

If we could get a solid 10 year string going, we would become the college sports team of DFW. Our brand is more accessible and progressive than TCU or SMU to the younger generation.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      You mean the playbook that famously can be drawn out on a napkin?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
