Stupid me for NOT being able to find total details about the tournament in Denton.

Drove up this afternoon thinking that I could watch at least 3 games for $14. Not so fast hoops fan. Got to the gate, found out that the 1:30 men's game was being played on the TWU campus. Also, discovered that the women's game was being played in the pit. No problem, I will watch the women's game, go out and get dinner, come back and catch two men's games. Well not exactly. Prices are $14 a session. Silly me, I thought that it meant all of today's games. By session the Sun Belt means two games. Lady wanted to charge me $14 to watch 1 women's game (the first of the session had already been played) and $14 for the 2 evening games. I decided to buy the one ticket for tonight and went on my merry way.

Now comman sense would dictate a few things to me. First off, I would be happy that an extra behind was willing to watch the women's game. Nothing against the ladies, but we all know that those games are sparsely attended. Secondly, why would you throw a men's game into a different venue? If I were willing to watch all four games, and I was from out of town, I would have to trudge across beautiful (sarcasm) Denton to view all four games.

We all know that there are some great games on tv tonight. Additionally, the high school playoffs are being played at SMU tonight. We all know that a team from the Sun Belt isn't going to win the NCAA tournament. We also know that the Sun Belt rep probably will not even make it to the final 32! UNT and the Sun Belt should be doing whatever is possible to get people like me into the venue to watch as many games as possible. Personally I don't understand minor conferences trying to act like they are the freaking Big 10. Watching these games isn't really that important to me, and if I had to do it over I wouldn't have purchased the ticket for tonight. In hindsight I would have driven to SMU and watched two pretty good high school games.

Some of you on this board have consistently wondered why UNT doesn't draw better. This is a good example.

The info regarding how many games make up a session and where the games are played has been on meangreensports.com since 02/14. It has been on sunbeltsports.org for some time as well. The info was out there.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      I condone and understand the mistaken omission. It was the most misleading victory in Mean Green history. I was there for that game in club seat because the weather was horrible. A pass happy UTSA came to Denton with a cold windy miserable wet day that made it impossible to throw the ball. Maybe they win the game if the weather was not so bad. But the fact they let that game be an excuse to keep Littrell another season was infuriating! 🤬. A decision like that had nothing to do with winning football because they followed that up with another double digit loss in the closet thing to a home Bowl Game in Frisco losing by double digits to a juggernaut 6-6 Miami OH. I said this at the time as well. And it was a confirmed bad decision when Seth couldn’t find a better QB than Austin Aune or get his completion percentage above 60% for more than 2 games in a row. This department is comfortable with mediocrity and programs new to the FBS level like UTSA our asses routinely. Long as we can beat teams having historically bad seasons for their program and FCS teams we are good. I am sure many of the few loyal fans were annoyed that there were enough fans that partied outside the stadium for homecoming to make the game a sellout. But after 20 years of the bullshit, I can’t be disappointed in them anymore.

      Is this what an “offensive genius” looks like?

      It feels like this season is over. If we somehow manage to get that elusive 6th win, can we file a lawsuit to help a 3-win MAC team get into a bowl game so that it will at least be competitive? Also, can we go back to the era when we didn't have any rivals? Any annual "rivalries" just end up fizzling because we're so terrible in those games that the series quickly become non-competitive and unexciting. We never really take any successful steps to improve the program while others refuse to remain complacent.

      Records of teams that we have beat. The only team with a winning record is SFA and they just lost to Texas A&M Commerce. We have a terrible defense and and offense that is explosive against bad teams. If the defense gets a stop, then the offense crumbles the next drive. South Alabama (4-5) SFA (6-4) Wyoming (2-8) Tulsa (3-7) Florida Atlantic (2-7) This team sucks, the program is heading in the wrong direction. I have wasted 17 years following this program. Not sure how you old timers have done this for so long.

      Looked him up. He’s a 5’7” 170lb QB/Wr. You’re trolling us or you’re not watching the same games I am… unless he’s the key to unlocking 800 yards and 55ppg he’s not the answer. The answer is a defense with a pulse. I am not saying we don’t need or want him…but he’s not changing this team from losers to winners by himself. That lousy team that just whipped us last night has always had a better defense on the field than we have. With the exception of 2013.
