Listened to Hodge's postgame interview with Hank and Dave. A rough summary:

Hodge takes the "lion's share" of the blame for the offense at the end. The offense and the inability to defend without fouling was the difference down the stretch.

McNeese's ability to get to the FT line, finish around the rim and our inability to finish around the rim were big reasons why we lost.

McNeese came out more physical than us.

Dave complimented the bench's box score stats. Hodge mentioned that Jossell needs to stay out of foul trouble -- that's the second game in a row. We needed Jossell out there to match McNeese's athleticism. Jossell is one of the few players on the roster who can just blow by people.

McNeese is the heavy favorite to repeat as Southland winners (I think we all knew that already).

I'll get the jump on this thread, because despite the name, I think this is a far tougher trip than Minnesota...probably our toughest non-con game.

Felt like a road split from the Minnesota/McNeese swing would be a success. Glad we clinched that, but feels like the team is more than capable of 2-0 there.

We had everything going for us and a victory against McNeese State would launch us into a a home game against Oregon State on Monday. We'd be undefeated at 4-0, victory over BIG10 school, and looking to a possible sellout. Then...

someone again decided "why don't we for for some reason wear meaningless bad luck black uniforms so that we can screw up everything?"

We did and it had the predictable effect.

OUR COLOS ARE GREEN AND WHITE. NEVER WEAR BLACK. NEVER, UNLESS YOU PLAN TO LOSE.

Jossell was initiating things and led the push to get us back in the lead around the 5 min mark…and the for whatever reason Hodge pulled him. 
 

Players are gonna have bad nights…I can’t imagine Floyd will be that bad all season…but man I’m struggling with a lot of Hodge’s personnel and substitution decisions so far

Ross makes line changes like hockey. He must want everyone to go all out every shift, and that’s why he substitutes so frequently. This was my complaint last year also. Hate it coz it’s hard to get a rhythm when you’re only playing 5mins at a time. 
 

Also, enough dumping the ball to Sissoko for the backdown offense. It’s painful to watch.

I hope that we never wear black again just so this stupid @ADLER bit will finally die

You must be getting used to losing. God Bless North Texas, and God Bless the USA.

I’m sure they can look back to the last game when we beat a Big 10 team. 

They won’t… or you can just follow what ever CBL says… I can assure he is never at any DFW area games and has never once coached at the high school level or higher. I would advise staying away from his commentary. I assure you a majority or local talent and local coaches are not going to see it this way. They will always push their best players to “better” programs. Football got lucky with Sides since his dad coaches at Guyer and they moved to the area. 
 

I am not saying this is my view; however this is not a view most will see. It’s not a “bad take”. It’s just what I have seen over and over.

How sad when it was our only option after other useless idiots had lost our only set of Green uniforms at Louisiana Tech weeks earlier.

May God Bless the University of North Texas, may God Bless our President Elect, and may God Bless the USA.

Southland Conference enough said.

They were a better seed (12) in the NCAA Tournament last season than we've been in any of our four previous trips.  A good team is a good team, no matter the league.

You sound like the idiots on the Minnesota board.  One can't always just look at conference affiliation and automatically assume "yeah that team is good/bad" dependent on that alone.

      What is this program missing?

      This part of your argument is just not true. North Texas has claimed 25 conference championships in football all time, tied for 13th most in the FBS. I would say a “signature win” would be the win over undefeated #22 UTSA in 2021. Looking a little further back, are you forgetting about the season we beat Rice and Texas Tech on the road, and also nearly beat Texas at DKR?

      2025 DC Wish List

      I can’t go back 20 years, but with the last DC we paid a lot for someone who didn’t know how to adapt to his personnel or recruit Texas or have any relations with high school coaches in Texas Then let him hire position coaches that were only GA’s (no recruiting trail opportunities). So we tried not spelling Texas. And you see where we lack depth on defense and it’s all attributed to those relationships. In G5 conferences we have to get THAT guy. It’s important on signing day and the transfer portal. But I can see the frustration. But if I’m wrong it sure not the first time

      If losing to MS is now acceptable we have low expectations.
