Do you remember what football team you follow?

Did you two pick us to win this game and the previous two when making preseason predictions?

Dropping the last three to drop to 5-4, and struggling to make bowl eligibility should put EM on the hot seat.  If we piss away the season and don't even make it to 6 wins, he has to go, along with Craponi.

I don't think Morris is anywhere near the hot seat right now but if he makes the decision to keep Caponi on his staff after this year then that's where I'd start questioning him. However, the fact that we [again] couldn't win just one game during the gauntlet part of our schedule like our 0-4 stretch last year is highly discouraging. Overall UNT sports are 0-9-1 against power conference and ranked opponents this year and that is the number that frustrates me the most.

This game yes. The other two previous to army no. Point being?

Everybody talks about being highly disappointed but most didn’t pick us to finish above .500 this year.

Speaking for myself, and probably many other here...  the "but" above is not really necessary. 

Those are 2 true statements that aren't contradictory of each other.

However, when you happen to put yourself in a position to surprise/overachieve, and shoot yourself in the foot yet again, there's a little extra "disappointment" sprinkled in.

I don’t think many did. But isn’t that kind of the problem? We made a coaching change (necessary) to win conference championships. We look like the same team that wasn’t good enough and got a guy fired. We didn’t go through that for the status quo. Right?

Even though about .500 is where I expected us to be, I can still be disappointed. It just shows I care about this team and how they progress. Unfortunately, it just continues to reveal what we’ve been…good against bad teams and bad against good teams.

I am really enjoying the thought experiment where we get rid of Morris, but keep Caponi

Before the season, my measurement of whether UNT had gotten better under Eric Morris was seven wins. I don't want to settle for six. Especially after getting to five as quickly as we did.
