If you were told in July we would start 3-1 with a beat down in Lubbock, I think 95% of us would take that in a second. 
 

We have 8 winnable games left. Memphis showed their ass yesterday losing to Navy. I predicted 8-4…..looks doable this morning.

And Tech spanked Arizona St. Yesterday. Hopefully we've figured this thing out. 4-1 looks very doable now then heading into a bye week.

And we’ve got FAU after the bye week so 5-1 heading into Memphis is a very real possibility. 
 

BUT it’s one game at a time so today we enjoy the feeling of a good win and a 3-1 start. Tomorrow, we get ready for Tulsa.

I'm happy for 3-1 with a loss against a P4.  But let's be honest, we saw weaknesses in the first 2 that were overwhelmed by the play of our offense, and those weaknesses were on full display at Tech.  This win is great.  No question about that.  But let's not overlook just how bad Wyoming is.

Conference time.  Just win, baby!

We play who’s on the schedule. The goal is to win as many as you can no matter how ugly it looks. Believe me, I complained about the ugly win against SFA. I found myself wanting to give anything for an ugly win against Tech. This is a good start for the team.
 

Hopefully, they can be even better moving forward with getting Gabe Blair back, acclimating to more 3-4 type defense. Very happy EM made a coaching decision to change up from the 3-3-5. It takes guts to realize what’s wrong and finally switch it up.

Wyoming lost to a FCS school. 

If the FCS school you’re referring to is Idaho, I am certain fans of Oregon (#9 in the country going into yesterday) still wonder how they struggled to put that now 3-1 FCS team away

And did I mention that Idaho beat Abilene Christian?  The same ACU that was a 2-point conversion away from beating Tech in OT

Yes, Wyoming is bad, but don't discredit the FCS Idaho team they lost to. The Vandals are 3-1 with its only loss being a close 24-14 game to Oregon. And they beat Abilene Christian by more points than Tech did.

Tulsa, @ FAU, East Carolina, and @ Temple should get us to seven... then just have to win ONE in the four-game stretch of @ Memphis, Tulane, Army, and @ UTSA. And so far that stretch this year isn't looking much like the guantlet it was last year!

One thing I think we can all agree on... there aren't three sure losses left on the schedule.

I have been a huge critic of the defense.  Last night and South Alabama give some hope— but consistency will be key.  We are still giving away 35.5 pts/game. 25.5 pts/game if you take out the TT game.  If we can get our total pts/game under 30 then we have a chance to do well and hopefully keep some of our players.

Spanked? If spanked means Tech beat Arizona State by a touchdown… The same Arizona State team that BARELY beat Texas State 

But I agree that 4-1 is doable.

3-1 is 3-1 no matter who you play. They don't put asterisks next to the wins. 

North Texas football hasn't won a trophy in a while -- since 2014 - jan-1st. I want a league title, and/or a bowl game win. This is a means to an end but I can enjoy the journey along the way. 

@UNT 90 Grad all our wives look a little better this morning 😉

My wife always looks great but much angrier the morning after a NT game because either I wake her up yelling at the tv or I end up sleeping the next morning away (games often start for me after 1am or later, especially early in the season - went to bed around 5am Sunday morning vs Wyoming) or most likely both.

      Love me some Chico with the jet black Roy Orbison interim hair. For me Chico is like Creed. I'm not supposed to love them but I do. Coach Canales loved North Texas more than most alumni.

      Earth to GMG

      This world does not exist anymore. It used to, but not in the portal and NIL age of college football. If players cared about coaching staff stability they would not be transferring at the rate they are. If this thinking permeates our AD, then they need to look for a new line of work because that ship sailed. Seriously, how many 17-18 years olds sit down and review the contracts of the coaches to decide which offer to take? High school recruiting should be de-emphasized. It can't go away completely, but building a program through the high school ranks over multiple years no longer works. When recruiting high school players, I think the only "stability" play is academic stability. There are a lot of players that have the skill and ability to play D1 football, but won't make it to the next level. Hopefully they are smart enough to realize that. Sell them (and their parents!) on playing a sport they love and getting a solid education and degree while they do. That's why it's important to continue to improve the academic status of UNT. We're not going to be a Stanford, but improving 4-year graduation rates and tighter admission standards will help.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      At this point in the football cycle, if you fire a coach then you throw away all the recruiting work being done for the following seasons. The portal opens up in just a few days, and most AAC schools build their next years roster in the transfer portal. How hard is it going to be for these programs to build rosters for next season if they dont have a head coach going into the transfer window?

      I hope we lose to Temple

      Remember how much we hated La Tech in the 90’s and ‘2000’s? How we mocked them for stupidly going from an Independent in the 90’s to wasting the mega bucks on travel in the WAC in the 2000’s, and their obnoxious fans coming here talking trash? Then 2012 happened…… https://coachad.com/news/did-louisiana-tech-really-turn-down-a-bowl-game/ They had elevated their program to the point that when they lost the last two conference games of the ‘12 season finishing 9-3, and ending as the nation’s #1 offense, they were so damn upset over it they chose, either directly or indirectly to not play ULM in the Independence Bowl. That announcement was the day I practically fell in love with their school and their program because to me it was the greatest stance on principle and accountability and a standard they felt they had set for themselves and held to. Since then, we’ve been there several times, you and me, and have seen how poor their athletics were funded all those years, which gained even more respect from this college athletics fan. That’s where I am as a fan and alumn of NT right now. Wishing we would set a standard, a high standard and stick with it. Rick
