Silver Lining?

Wow, I was watching some of this game in the first half and it was a blowout for UT-San Antonio.  I had no idea Tulsa came back.

Just get Army over with and be healthy.  The last 3 are all games we can win.

A bowl team with wins against crappy opponents...yippie 

[UNT86]

Better than losses to crappy opponents.

But yes, we will probably get smoked in a bowl against a good team.

[El Paso Eagle]

I hope that someday as a program we can get to the point to where we don't try to find relief from our poor performances in other teams failures.

[blg green eagle man]

it is truly amazing before the season some were saying we would be lucky to win 6 games, but now even if we lose to Army we should end up no worse than 7-5 or most likely 8-4. I guarantee if most of us knew them we would end up probably winning 8 games we would have been very pleased. we are having to play numerous freshman and are still looking at 8 wins. We ha,ve

 Had ap lot of injuries especially to r

Running backs and receivers. We should beat UTSA, East Carolina and Temple.  Give them a chance. The announcers on ESPN 2 was giving us many accolades considering how we were very outmanned size wise.  THink about this even being outweighed we wleRe

 Doing very good in not giving up. I think we were sacked only once when our quarterback was hurt. Think about this and we should also win 8 or 9 games next year also. Go Green.

So another of the we're just little old North Texas and we should be happy. Again when we can start beating good teams then we turn the corner. If you think playing poorly on national TV is a good thing in any way whatsoever you're part of the problem

Oh man. Checking scores today saw their score early and was thinking “maybe UTSA is figuring something out.” Had no idea they lost that game until I saw this thread. 
 

YIKES

Honestly, that’s most, or at least many, bowl teams.

[Aquila_Viridis]

If we could consistently win 8 games a season, I would be real happy with that, no matter who the opponents are. 

[NM Green]

Get some rest.

Prepare to beat Army.

Same! I was watching up until halftime turned it off and went about my day assuming it would be a blow out win for UTSA. Honestly was confused when I saw this posted until I looked at the score 😆

My concern is whether the team will still have the heart to win those games. In addition to the injuries.

It will be a test of the leadership we have.  Both on staff and in the huddle.

It works that way, when any team you beat is defined as bad.

I didn’t realize UNT, a program with only 3 winning seasons over the last 19 years, could turn their noses up at a potential 8 win season.

Expect more. Getting to the championship should be minimum. We have been there and done that with bowl games. It's cool to have an extra game to play, but in the grand scheme it really doesn't mean anything.

Why?

We have gone to a conference championship game twice and got murdered both times. 

We have a winning percentage of less than 40% since we became a FBS program...in 1995.

Expecting this is just not reasonable. Hell, getting to 6 wins in a season has only happened 8 times here in the previous 29 seasons.

You don't get it man

People on this forum are majority the hardcore UNT fans that we do have, nobody is turning their noses up. But don't sit there and tell me you don't get infuriated when your team is on national tv and it's always a poor showing. Or to watch them get kicked around on defense because we have DC who doesn't know what he is doing. 

Then you see other programs out there that do way more than us with so much less...sometimes to the point where they get nationally ranked.

UNT moved up to a new conference because of what reason...."We want more competition" or "We want more exposure"....well as a fan you should expect more.
