We have a 4-18 record against them.  We beat them in 1952, 1977, 1978, and 1980. We never beat them in the MVC days.  In 1952, we were in the Gulf Coast Conference. In '77, '78, and '80, we were independent.

We played them close the last two years, but found a way to lose.  Two pick sixes and a last second touchdown have cost us two games.  Close, but no win.

They get to talk all the crap they want until we prove otherwise.

Just call them Memphis State. It may not make them call us UNT, but it will even things.

I think we have a fighters chance.  It will probably depend on turnovers.

Sadly we have not done well at generating turnovers. Per the NCAA website, we're tied for 94th with 1 fumble recovered and 5 interceptions. Memphis is tied for 12th with 8 fumbles recovered and 4 interceptions. Two of those fumbles were against Florida State who fumbled a punt return and kickoff return. The only game Memphis has lost, against Navy, is the only game they haven't generated a turnover.

I'm hopeful we'll run a 3-4 and pressure Hennigan some. Need to make people uncomfortable if you want them to make mistakes.

Nothing disrespectful about NTSU.  Just not the current name.  Embrace our heritage, not Memphis fan ignorance and stupidity.

Interesting stats -- they make UNT sound a lot hotter on offense than they *feel* when we're watching the games.  It also points out the need to get rid of all vestiges of that 3-3-5 immediately.

Fumbles are generated by being physical on defense.  That we are not.  We drag tackle and try to bump people down.  At least we are gap sound for now and I'm happy about that.  We can work on physical, but that is the primary reason we don't create turnovers.

Agree and disagree.  We're definitely doing a lot of "bump" tackles without any kind of wrap-up.  That works fine on the sideline.  I have seen some efforts at trying to strip the ball, although I'm often annoyed at seeing that because it is what often creates the extra 4-7yd runs where we're pulling at the ball but they're dragging us down the field while we're doing it.  Size may be a factor in that.

Also notable about our overall record vs Memphis is that from 1960 to 1975 we played them 14 times and lost all of them.  We couldn't beat them, even in the Joe Greene/Steve Ramsey era.  We skipped playing them in 76, and then in 77/78 Hayden Fry broke the curse.

Man, that's a lot of losing. 😂 Thank you for enlightening me.

I've been saying about 3 prayers a day for a week, that the Defense has seriously worked on Tackling Techniques on the field and in the film room.  Poor technique anomalies happen from time to time.  But we're 8 weeks into the season....Need to see good technique from the first quarter, not wait until halfway into the third to figure things out....

I hope we run the 4-4-4 defense and stop someone from scoring on us in the red zone this season.

      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
