UNT is 5-2. One game away from bowl eligibility with 5 to play. The offense is one of the best in the country. Yes the defense is struggling. But there are some key defenders that were available at Memphis. With complete roster turnover this team is ahead of schedule. At some points on offense last night this team had 5 true freshman out there. And still went toe to toe with a Memphis team that had over a million more to spend in NIL and roster building. Below is a pre fall depth chart. All players in red were unavailable for Memphis game. #GMG show up for homecoming and cheer on a fun team.

Frustrating loss! Really felt like it was winnable through the 3rd quarter and then Memphis got smart and went back to the run. Still drinking the green flavorade this morning, Tulane almost shit the bed against Rice this weekend, we can get these guys at home.

The old timers on this board are never happy. We have turned the page and improved since last season. Has the defense improved, yes. Is it great, no. 

The offense is better with Chandler Morris at QB. The teams playing hard and bought in. We're one win away from being bowl eligible with a bunch of young guys. 

The future is bright. Smile a little, it's ok.

Who are you calling Old Timers? 

I like Morris, and I would be really happy if we take one of the next two. We are getting better, and for once, we are really better.

Thanks for the acknowledgement.

Yep, the team needs our support right now. We can bitch and moan during the off-season.

Is Gabe Blair taking a redshirt?  I saw he ran scout team a few weeks back. 

Yeah I saw him on the sidelines in street clothes last game.  He is fine.  I think he is is close to 100% recovered and just saving himself for the portal and a bigger NIL offer.

I have to admit this one hurt almost as bad as last years Memphis loss which was very painful.

This is the thing. Even with "improvement", I would say we lost the game in a very similar fashion.

Yes, we have improved. We also improved under our previous coach. You know what has been about the same? The defense. We didn't really have one under SL and we don't have one now.

It's not doing the same thing over and over and expecting the same result as people claim. Another funny thing, people often claim that Albert Einstein stated that quote. Which is apparently not true.

But since you asked, the definition is below.

The state of being seriously mentally ill; madness.Extreme foolishness or irrationality

For the few of us that became fans during the Todd Dodge era, we definitely fit this definition.

Insanity would have been keeping SL and expecting different results.

I, and others, have said it before:  SL was good for UNT, but it was time to move on.

You are right, maybe it is better said that we seem to be doomed to repeat our mistakes. This team is taking an eerily similar path to SL's teams...

I think Eric will fix the defense this off-season. He really wants to win.

Did the NCAA do away with NIL and the Portal? Enjoy this year...we don't know what next year brings.

I see that is impacting ULM right now. They're 5-1 and can't afford to hire trainers to tape up their players.

Looks like they are moving it back into the AD now.  There was a good article in the WSJ a couple of days ago, I will try to find it and repost here.

I totally agree with some on here stating how bad coach wants to win. We have a very good chance to be 8-4 or 9-3,and I bet none of us thought that was possible at the start of the year. Let's hope we can keep the majority of the team back because next year we have a very favorable schedule with. 7 games at home. Just tighten up anlets enjoy the ride.d

I cannot stress how much I want this to be true. I do agree that how he handles the offseason defensively will be telling for his head coaching career moving forward. I am hoping he gets away from the perceived belief that he can outscore everyone and only needs an adequate defense. Offensively, he seems to be one of the top. I just told defensively he also sets the standards just as high

My problem with SL was that, as a general rule, we weren’t competitive against good teams.  Yes, we usually beat the bad teams which is great, but we got spanked most of the time when we played a good team.

Losses by 20+ points/total losses 

2016: 5/9

2017: 4/5

2018: 1/4

2019: 3/8

2020: 5/6

2021: 3/7

2022: 4/7

Under SL, 25 of our 46 losses (54%) were by 20+ points.  

Things under EM just don’t seem similar to that in my opinion.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      If everything will go the way you think it will go then why do we play the games or even schedule games with spreads over 14 points? The underdogs in College Football are in a perpetual no win situation. Get the upset there in the regular season are a ton of excuses and devaluation of what your program accomplished. Close loss then the naysayers devalue that also (SMU vs Clemson and the push to shoe in Alabama a team that lost to the Tennessee team that got blown out by Ohio State). I want teams to prove it on the field. And since the big brand teams have always been invested in scheduling the easiest path to the post season. NOT EVEN APPEARING in your conference championship game should be majorly punitive. So I don’t give a crap what people think Alabama (or anyone else would do). They lost to Vandy and a bad OU team. And they could have scheduled a decent FBS team instead of home scrimmages against Western Kentucky and Mercer. Or they could kept a SEC conference membership where they play more than half of the teams in the conference in a season. The worst aspect of boxing that killed it popularity was the ranking organizations a chicken hearted scheduling. I hate subjectivity in sports that have easy scoring rules. And putting in a team that didn’t appear in their conference championship game in a better playoff position than a conference champion or championship game loser is 100% based on subjectivity if the teams did not play head to head and have the same win/loss record. Maybe I will be in the minority of College Football fans over 35. But I will have no interest in the opening round of CFP if they start routinely subjectively punishing Conference Champions over teams that failed to appear in their conference title game. Go look at the SEC standings; even arguing Alabama over Ole Miss getting that spot is subjective garbage. Both are 9-3 overall and 5-3 in SEC play. But almost universally people are lamenting Alabama not being included. The stupidity and greed of the SEC had border state rivals in the same conference not play each other this year. 🙄. To me that is the outrage. Maybe if they had played each other we one of them would be in the playoff and SMU fans couldn’t have had a reasonable protest if that happened.

      I already wonder how long he's going to stay anyway. Is he expected to challenge P-barger for the starting position? If not, do we expect him to take the job in year 2 or would it be more likely that EM brings in another experienced QB. Whatever we do, I don't want ANY consideration regarding lost eligibility to factor into whether he plays or not. Edit: I posted before seeing this which is definitely good news.

      Only 2 of our 22 starters from our last game against Temple are in the portal. The high school guys who Morris have signed have pretty much all stayed, except for the guys who weren’t getting any playing time. Out of the 2023 and 2024 high school signees signed by Morris, Tyler Mercer is the only one to start and hit the portal. The other 2023 and 2024 HS Signees who have played extensively, Braydon Nelson, Brian Nelson, Evan Jackson, Landon Sides, Miles Coleman, Wyatt Young, Jaedon Langley, Taylor Starling, Quinton Hammonds have all played extensively or started as underclassmen the last two seasons and all seem pretty committed to the program. It seems your chances of keeping a starter is far higher if that guy is someone your HC signed out of high school. It’s a stronger relationship.

      SMU's Last Bowl Win...

      The Mean Green have won 130 conference championships, including 34 since 2000. SMU has been on probation five times between 1974 and 1985, and seven times overall—
