The fact is we've played the most difficult conference schedule and it's probably not even close.

That being said, if we don't beat Tulsa and UAB, we will have earned our spot in the bottom third of the conference.

Not hard to figure out why we are.  Especially when in the last two games I thing the other's teams backs have about two hundreds between them on the first five plays of the game.

But no worries.. we have people here advocating that we still have the right guy to lead that ‘problem’ area.

Seems weird to me as we were always at least in the upper half of the standings in the other conferences.

Especially since last season we were the conference runnerup and played in the conference title game.

While it is probably a more difficult conference slate, it is only by a slight margin. Tulane and SMU are really the only schools that are a step up in competition and we were already used to playing SMU annually. Last season we beat the #5 team and one of the #6 teams on this list. We also lost on a last minute highlight reel drive against one of the teams tied for first. I disagree strongly with the premise that we have suddenly been dropped into a world beater conference because we haven't.

I’m not comparing to last year, I’m comparing to the other team’s schedules in the American.  No other team has to play Tulane, Memphis, UTSA, and SMU.  Trade out Tulane and Memphis for Charlotte and ECU and we might not be in 11th place.  
 

I wasn’t aware that there was a premise that we have been dropped into a world beater conference, but I would disagree as well.  It’s definitely better than CUSA, but it’s also down from what it’s been in the past.

I am not convinced this coaching staff could beat Charlotte and ECU.

I’m not sure the team could either, that’s why I said we might not be in 11th place.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      I enjoyed the overall presentation too. One gripe kind of related to your second paragraph though. A spontaneous 'North Texas' chant broke out in the second half; I think it was right after Oregon St called time out when we went up 53-46. It would have been a really cool moment if the chant were allowed to get bigger. Instead it got drowned out by in arena music and the next paid promotion. So, just being more cognizant of those moments, and they don't happen too frequently, would improve the game experience. I should mention that they have stopped before to let North Texas chants build up; the game against Memphis last season comes to mind.

      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.

      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.

      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!
