Another huge opportunity lost

[meangreenfaninno]

Homecoming game good crowd, national TV.  Again we lay a huge egg when it counts.  And now the AD will blame the fans for the loss. 
 

And why can’t we ask for some accountability from this football program?  They have good facilities the biggest department budget and more staff than at any time in our history.  We hear the defense is the problem this season and yet everyone knew the defense was a terrible problem well over a year ago after Morris was embarrassed again in front of a huge home crowd.

Yet, we did absolutely nothing innterms pf recruiting good defensive players and Morris left Craponi in charge which was basically the equivalent of treason against UNT athletic s and any hope for a modicum of success.

It was not a great idea to schedule this opponent for homecoming.

Actually it was. We just got beat by a better team. It happens. I am most disappointed in the low turnout of fans. We had 27,000 opening game against Wyoming  but only 23,00 against Tulane at homecoming. Whats wrong with this picture?

Well the AD actually went out and tried to sell tickets to Wyoming. They put the work in. Then expected since it was homecoming against a good team, it would just happen. Not how it works around here as of now. I don’t see why they didn’t make “Sellout DATCU” a season long campaign goal rather than a single game.

If NT could get a win against a team above .500 that might help. Morris, like Seth, is hard headed and it's his way or the highway. If Morris doesn't get rid of Caponi that highway will be the same one Seth took out of Denton.

When you continually lose to good teams, average fans (much less our Metroplex fanbase) will turn to something else. It sucks, but it's the reality.

What’s wrong is that around the time of the Wyoming game, even with the Tech embarrassment, people thought “They’re 2-1, maybe the defense just looked bad against a superior Big XII team.”  
 

Yesterday you saw the result of people realizing “nope, they genuinely cannot tackle and refuse to alter their scheme against what should be comparable talent” 

 

We will not beat Army.  And, no, we won’t beat UTSA in their season Super Bowl.  
 

A sparse crowd will see us beat East Carolina to get to 6 wins…then people will swear the season was “a success” when we beat a horrible Temple squad…then we’ll all come crashing back down when we get rocked in a bowl game.

The AD, the coaches and the team need to go out to the campus and local community. I don't see them doing anything in Denton or around campus to get people excited and in the seats. Coach Morris just blames the fans for not showing up and telling them to get over themselves because the game was at 11am. That's not how you get butts in seats.

Our 3 loses YTD are all against better teams. And yes, Army is a better team and will probably beat us as well. There is no shame in losing to teams that are bigger, stronger, and faster that we are. I fully expect us to beat ECU,UTSA, and Temple and finish 8&4, which is not too shabby for a UNT team that was picked 9th in the conference preseason.

I don’t think we get rocked in a bowl game. We are due and will get a W.

Now call me optimistic Oscar but I see us beating Army. We are the best team they will have played in 2024. 

UTSA I feel is a loss because that coach will get them fired up down south to beat us. We beat East Carolina we beat Temple.

We win in Frisco or Albuquerque. 

I’m okay with this season if it unfolds this way.
