Tech took Pity on Morris

[Jonnyeagle]

Top 5 lowest moments as a D1 football program today folks.  Second only to potland state.  This is why we can never move forward, every tome we have an opportunity to win a big game we blow it!

[Mean Green 93-98]

Today sucked.  But I don't think it's bottom 5 since our return to 1-A bad.

1.  2015 Portland State 7-66

2.  2008 Rice 20-77

3.  2005 Tulsa 2-54

4.  2007 OU 10-79

5.  1999 LSU 0-52

Sadly they could have put 80 to 90 points on us today but took pity on us. The first half of this was about as bad as anything above, outside of possibly Portland State.

The fact that we are even discussing a game being included on this list is all that really needs to be said. Abject failure.

Maybe.  The same could definitely be said about any of those other games I listed, with the possible exception of Portland State.  In that Rice game, our guys (with the exception of Tobe Nwigwe) flat out quit, just like the Portland State debacle.  For all the problems exposed today, and for all the dumb mistakes, I mostly saw guys continue to play hard.

I feel so much better now.

Tech could have hung a hundred+ on North Texas if they wanted to.  

In some ways, I wish they would have.  

[Got5onIt]

Embarrassing. But these losses absolutely have zero effect on me now. I just go, meh. So is the life of Mean Green football. This program peaked in the modern era through Dickey and McCarney’s time. Sad to say it, but that’s the best we’ve got. Now with NIL and the crazy landscape of college football, NT is watching the train leave the station. 

[MeanGreen01]

They definitely could have hung 90+ points. Alot of their starters didn’t even play 2nd half. Gotta wait and see how we do in AAC play. If we aren’t competitive by next year in our conference, which would be this staffs 3rd year, then we can have discussions of change. I think we are jumping the gun before hand. This was bad but we just had everything go wrong today, sometimes it does happen. 

[Matt from A700]

Can we get their third string QB?

Being a North Texas fan means becoming a connoisseur of catastrophe. You develop refined taste for what separates a normal loss from one for the ages.

I was at 2-4 and they were not as bad as yesterday. The Rice game isn’t quite as bad as it looks when you consider Clement and Dillard hold the NCAA record for quarterback-receiver touchdown connections.

I was at the Rice game in Houston. It wasn’t even that close.

As was I, Clement and Dillard were automatic. They went 10-3 and won their bowl game that year. Texas Tech won’t be winning 10 games this year.

I travelled to the TTU game and came away feeling very similar to how I felt after traveling to the Rice game in 2008.   It prompted me to look to see how the Mean Green bounced back from that Rice game.  It’s not for the faint of heart.  There is no way this season goes down the 2008 path…I hope.  https://meangreensports.com/sports/football/schedule/2008

This is the truest post I have ever read on this board.

Sadly I was at the first 4 games on your list (plus the TT loss on Saturday).  I think I need hazard pay or a therapy dog at this point.

We drove all the way out there, got the Hell out of the stadium at halftime, and drank until I began to forget.

Kudos to coach Mcguire for taking the boot off our throat in the third quarter

You can’t blame them for taking care of one of their own. Does them no good to demolish Morris. That score could have easily been >100

[untjim1995]

Whether it’s been getting murdered by Tech, manhandled by UH, or getting embarrassed by SMU, the problem has always been that we get clobbered by teams that our fans want us to be able to compete with…and we don’t. We just roll over and get crushed. That’s beyond embarrassing. This isn’t including losses to SEC giants, but in state schools’ alums that we live near and work with everyday. 
 

Saturday was amongst the lowest points ever for me as a Mean Green alum. I got shit talked by an ACU alum…and had no reply. ACU.
