I thought in the first half the stadium looked like a pretty good crowd but I doubt many of the first timers will be back.

There were a number of them down toward the front; I'm not sure all of them stayed the whole game though. sad.gif

They sit right in front of me in Row 9. It was a packed house ... some big dudes. They left in the 3rd. ALL of them. ohmy.gif

Our recruiting efforts just took a huge step backward thanks to DD's and RF's unwillingness to prepare for OOC games sad.gif

It is sad that we couldn't preform at a level I know Mean Green can. What this signals to me, is that we need to do major promotions for the Troy game and try to get people out. Despite losing, the student section, i think, was enjoying it. I do not, and will not, begin a stream of negative posts, but only encourage our fans to keep trucking. I think the sign of a good, lasting, fan base and team tradition is the response of fans. I expect and am fine with the negativity towards Flanigan and Meager and maybe even Dickey, but lets vent now and prepare for next game and next home game. Glory to the green, always... lets show everyone, including other conferences, we aren't a joke by not extending the pesimism too long.

I am with you on this. We got whipped.

*ALL* teams get whipped once in awhile. OU is getting whipped this year by teams that they shouldn't. I am not to saying Tulsa isn't up to our level, but 54-2 isn't up to our level.

Dust ourselves off.

Hopefully this shows our young players that it sucks to lose and let your fans down. Hopefully they find the drive/desire to play to their potential.

It really is hard to win without a QB. It is proven every week at all levels of football.

Losing games doesn't bother me so much as the way we lose games sometimes. Chalk this one up there along with FAU last year (where we seemed clearly outcoached) and Troy back in '01 (ugh).

What was worse was seeing the really unimpressed recruits we had there.   

I sit to the right of the section where the recruits sit. At the start of the game the Talon who was running the NT Battle Flag was having problems with it and I couldn't get his attention to come down in front of our section to help him with it, so I went down to the railing in front of my section and crossed over to the left two sections, including the recruit section to get to him and repair the flag pole. I did and tracked the same way back to my seat.

Right as I sit down a nice Eagle Angel comes over to me in front of my 4 year old and everyone within ear shot and explains to me that, due to NCAA rules, alumni are not allowed near any recruits who are visiting and asked if I not come into that section again. I know this rule, it's been explained here before but the look on everyone's face in my section was priceless to say the least over the shear dedication our Eagle Angels have to do their job, and the even more stupidity as to why it is they(the recruits) are allowed to sit in the middle of a very crowded alumni section to begin with if it's such a danger to bring problems...rule wise?

For fear of getting North Texas placed on probation and myself getting thrown into jail I didn't have the guts to tell her that a couple of them rubbed past us as they made it down the crowded stairs to their seats at the beginning of the game.

Now you see why JD and the Angels have never seen eye to eye? wink.gif

I sit in row 10 section E. I am a sarcastic man. They don't have a sarcastic, witty, humorous bone in their Angel wings.

They always try that crowd control crap with my group ...

So how do we handle the attendance for the Troy game? I think they should place EVERYONE on the side opposite the cameras, and have the stands behind the cameras empty. That way it will seem like a full stadium.

There were some recruits in front of us in section E. Yeah, um they didnt look impressed. At least the ones who were there at the end of the game.

As to the Eagle Angel, would someone show me where in the US Constitution it says that its illegal to for an alumni to effing WALK PAST a recruit. I was talking to one of the recruit's parents after the game. Uh oh, sorry guys, I didnt mean to get us placed on probation. rolleyes.gif

I dont want to say anything bad about the Angels, cause there are some pretty sweet ones I was talking to during the game, so I'll just keep my opinion of the organization and what they are rumored to do to, um encourage recruits to myself. but I do find it odd how its only females that go out and talk to recruits. dry.gifph34r.gif

      Keebler has to go!

      Agreed. I would only do it again for a huge name that would excite the fan base, but make the contract heavily based on incentives over guaranteed money. For the Morris-type hires, three years with triggers to extend the contract automatically, like a conference championship buys the coach an extra year with a slight raise. Otherwise it is an annual discussion and negotiation.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I would have already fired Morris but if he stays it needs to be with several conditions. 1) hand over play calling duties to an OC, either bringing in someone or elevating Davis or Cobbs to the position. (I think Davis already has the title but we know it is meaningless). 2) bring in a new ST coach 3) replace the strength and conditioning staff. Too many injuries this season and the team is gassed by the end of the game and getting steamrolled. 4) new DC needs to run a system that can stop the run and must be able to adapt throughout the season to account for opponents and personnel losses. And all of the above needs to be overseen by the AD’s office. And no contracts for more than one year. Obviously this means replacing most of the staff, which at its core means we should really fire Morris and bring in an experienced HC who already knows how to build a staff. But if we are being cheap, at least the assistants don’t require buy outs. I would also like to see the AD renegotiate Morris’ contract to reduce the base salary/buyout and increase the incentives for accomplishments, including bowl wins and championships.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?
