Squeak out wins against Wyoming, Tulsa, Temple, and UTSA. By some miracle we make a crappy local bowl and get blown out. Caponi is fired and we all continue to debate why we support this subpar program that we have all given money too.

Our defense will be our defense. What can’t happen is our offense to $hit their pants. Morris needs to slow it down some and try to go vertical with the passing. Too much swing passes IMO. Let those guys run routes and let Chandler read them. He made the correct reads against USA, so don’t take that away from him like I feel EM did this game. Too many quick hitting passes that seemed to be predetermined. Trust in Chandler

You need good blocking for that. If Eric Morris is dialing up the screens and quicker plays, it's likely because he doesn't believe the line can hold up. If SFA is any indication, he's not wrong. Our O line has struggled.

Could be wrong but I'm more willing to give them the benefit of the doubt due to the injuries.

I am too. Just pointing out blocking has been an issue. I'm not the first to point it out and I won't be the last. This guy has noticed it too. Wonder if he knows a thing or two about blocking.

We give them the benefit of the doubt, go to DATCU or watch them on ESPN+ . Bring home a W, and be one more game closer to being bowl eligible. I have done this too long to give up now...GMG!

We need to wipe our memory of TX Tech and prepare for Wyoming.  One game at a time.  We can overcome Tech, but they can't dwell on this.  Learn and move along.

      Huss Leaving High Point To Be Creighton's "Coach In Waiting"

      I said this before, regarding football, but the transfer portal is just killing my joy for college sports. I quit CFB a few years ago--it just cost too much and it took too long. CBB isn't long for my fandom even though it's my favorite sport to follow. I could handle the fact that coaches could leave they wanted-it made sense. I don't like NIL but I understand why its there, but its easy to exploit and declare it "legal" to pay. But the portal is the ender. A brand new team every year, basically, if you have any success from the season before...its just impossible to support it with any kind of logical approach as a UNT fan. And this isn't even counting the ways the university actually acts about our teams, as well.

      NBA benches are also filled with...checks notes...10 NBA basketball players. there's a pretty big difference in calling down Dwight Powell and trusting he can contribute after a string of DNPs than asking the same of Brock Vice

      I think it was pretty telling that when Massie was out only Stone got the spare minutes. Stone was a trusted part of the '23-'24 rotation (30 GP, 14 minutes/game) and then completely fell out of the rotation last season (16 GP, 5 minutes/game)...so it didn't appear Hodge had much "senior-loyalty" to get him minutes... maybe, just maybe Mason wasn't actually ready to contribute last season.

      1. I understood your point, that's why I noted that you were making a valid argument in regards to having players ready to play. 2. Definitely cherry picking. Let's go to Google so everyone is working off of the same definition: A basketball team's "rotation" is the group of players who are most likely to be on the court during a game, as opposed to those who are primarily bench players 3. I feel like that is rarely, if ever, seen in college. 4. When you win your NCAA tournament games by an average of over 23 points per game, you probably had a lot of games that bench players got extended minutes.

      Players changing every season is the part that hurts programs that need to build fan bases. Fans “buying into” a program takes excitement over seasons of watching the same players. You follow the Mavs to see Luka. It’s an investment as far as buying tickets and donating and getting friends to come, etc.
