And we’re not bad on the road either

I think the first coach cliche I ever got used to was Haskins always saying, going into every new season, if we can protect our home, and win at least half of them on the road, we'll be in the title conversations.

Like everything he said, it's anchored in a ton of truth, and the above is why we are winning championships.

The eye roller to this post probably only got up from his seat for concessions or a bathroom run.

LOL, not really. 🙂  I do prefer when it's a straight two digit year since we should be aware of the century though.

This has been a complaint of mine for a while. When I go to games it is like people go to sit there and eat popcorn. Why go see a team live if you aren't going to give some energy and cheer? Football is the same way. 

Our fan base is strange.

They may not be but this is a very good program and it is doing it consistently.  The rest of the teams are starting to figure it out.

Agree totally

I am watching WSU vs Temple before I head to the women's game, but the play by play guys just gave us a lot of love. I am not quoting verbatim because I am going off of memory, but one of them said "North Texas is my American team of the week. They dominated Wichita State and they dominated Tulane yesterday. They are the most fundamentally sound defensive team I have seen."

Any media love we get will have to start with ESPN. Perhaps the local media will catch on later, but you know they're all in love with the Big12. And smut, for some reason.

Memphis.  Lets get their name right because we know how infuriating it is when people get ours wrong.

Until NT starts selling out games and they have only been close a couple of times in the SPit history, I find complaining about how people watch the games is strange. 

You go to a game to enjoy the experience, if that is sitting and eating popcorn that is definitely your choice.

Until we get to the point where we are ranked in the top 20, only the hard core UNT fans will show up. NIT title didn't move the needle for the average sports fan in our area. Being ranked forces the area media to give you coverage and gets the bandwagon fans out. Wish it wasn't that way but I've followed the Mean Green for a long time and IMO that is the only way we will see big crowds on a regular basis. I noticed that other than Memphis and FAU in their 3k seat gym, ACC schools are not getting huge crowds. Smut had great crowds back when Brown was coaching and they were ranked. DFW media fell over backwards covering them. Now after a couple of down seasons, not so much.

      G5 Rep up to #4 in latest CFP

      Honestly, there’s a 0.000000001% chance 2 G5s get in. They will plug any of several SEC teams before they let 2 G5s in.

      I don’t think Mack Brown’s the answer here either, but let’s not pretend McCarney is anywhere near Brown in terms of head coaching success. Brown would be a huge upgrade.

      The Band

      Our oldest is in the Oklahoma State band. They seem to focus on the entertainment more than anything else. The last halftime show had them playing “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC. Their pregame is just the fight song, Oklahoma, and a stand tune. Then they wait around while special guests lead the in game chants. In game playing is fun. They play iron man, dies irae, stuff like that. They play off the DJ better than we do. There’s usually no playing over eachother, though it does happen. The quality is fine. They have a new director. Last years quality was lacking.

      MAC BROWN

      Kicking has been bad, punting is average at best, and we allowed the onside kick against UTSA. Those are my main complaints. There's only about 25 teams (quick count) that have allowed a kickoff return for a TD and we're one of them. Special teams certainly wasn't a weapon this year which to me means it has the potential to be a problem. Regarding Morris being aggressive because the defense is bad, I just disagree. I'll refer to the Navy game last year going for it on 4th and goal on the first drive. It was game 5 of his tenure. He did it again on the first drive against Memphis last year. Two games we lost by 3 where he passed up the field goal attempt on the first drive of the game all within his first 7 games. If he didn't trust the defense that much 7 games in to his coaching career here but yet kept Caponi for year 2, that's a fireable offense on his own. Now to EM acting as an OC and not HC, this is his 6th year as a division 1 head coach. Are we really making this excuse for him? Honestly all of this makes me wish he'd get an OC job somewhere and leave.
