They start over every game and as long as we win the points stat, I don’t care if we lose every other stat category. This team has taken care of business tonight. That’s bad*ss!

When was the last game we won in a dominant fashion? It was over in the 3rd quarter

Screw Tulsa calling a TO to try and score after we took it easy on them on the last drive.

Yeah I agree.

It's one thing to keep trying for junk scores if the other team is keeping their starters in, but when they go with backups and you still do it, that's poor

The ESPN announcer stated "4-1 matches the best record since 1991" but that's factually incorrect.  In 2018 UNT went 4-0 (including beating an SEC team) and lost at home to go 4-1.  

 

(And boy did that last missed field goal hurt.  I was there; that stadium went from rockin' to dead)

The people that bet the over were very happy with that score.

When your QB is hitting 65% of passes for a 20 yard/reception average, you are not going to lean on your running game.  We can say it shouldn’t be that way, but it is harder to maintain focus in a blowout.

The more I think about these last two games, you have to give Morris/Caponi some credit. This is a different defense. Still lots of room to grow. They would tell you that, but this year would be an exact copy of last year if they hadn’t made the change. Also, Morris is a hell of an offensive coach!

Not that I want to run it up, but I also don't like playing so passively as long as the other team keeps trying to score.

If I was head coach, my assistants would have had to talk me out of running the starters back out there.

Poor, but not unexpected. The Tech loss hurt. Tulsa isn't going to bring a ton or draw a ton of interest to the casual DFW UNT fan. If we beat FAU and Memphis, I think we'll see a 23k+ crowd for Tulane (maybe more if it's a "bowl eligible" marketing ploy to fill stands). Unless we really S the bed against Tulane, we'll see a good crowd for Army (at minimum 20k). Unless we're having a killer season at that point, we'll see another sub-par attendance for ECU. Realistically, I think we end up averaging 22k-23k, which would be a good improvement from last year. I'd be happier with 24k-25k.

If we beat FAU and Memphis I would be really disappointed with anything less than 28k for Tulane.  6-1 vs a team that has been one of the best in our conference over the last 2 years.  Plus…it’s homecoming.

I probably set the bar low. I don't know what it's like for UNT to go 6-1. I do know what it's like for UNT to have poor attendance.

If we win they will come. Well if we win certain games they will come. Well we can't have a bad loss and still win games or they won't come. I hate to say it but we have way too many conditions to get people to show up. Having under 20,000 people for a game with great weather is an embarrassment and the school should be ashamed of itself. I'm not sure if they will ever change the way they do stuff but whatever we're doing with the fan base is not working. 

 

PS we need to stop trying to play up the we have so many alums in the DFW area when talking about why we should be looked at by other conferences.

      A Game To Keep An Eye On

      Oh and don’t look now but SMU is on top of the ACC, filling their stadium in week 12 and also playing for a CFP spot. Good thing we didn’t have to play them in conference this year. We were fortunate to have the weak part of our schedule front-loaded that generated some modest excitement, but it was apparently all smoke and mirrors. On the bright side, we still have Temple to play. Yay us.

      All the more reason to bring him in to be the OC. He KNOWS what defenses will do. BRILLIANT!!

      I believe that is how a majority of changes are made at the FBS level = Fan Base and Donor pressure! Who else are you trying to lure to watch games and give to the program?

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      I don’t know why we are nitpicking the legacy of the only coach in 50 years that has put multiple team trophies in our trophy case. If you omit coaches who earned Hall of Fame status after leaving here you are left with Odus Mitchell and Dickey as the only coaches to ever “dominate” any conference for any length of time. Now looking back through history I am even more frustrated that in 2004 it appears we never tried to get Jerry Moore to come back to UNT. But come to think of it, maybe it is karma. A program that raves about Hayden Fry every opportunity rarely honor Odus Mitchell properly. A 20 year tenure with 10 conference titles. We should be playing on Odus Mitchell Field inside (DATCU, Apogee, or whatever corporation that wants cough up naming rights money) stadium.
