We will repeat because the Sun Belt is basical trash, and we are the gold and silver slivers found in the trash, at this time.  blink.gif

I wish that wasn't true, but you are right and we will probably win again this year.

Our offense has NOT played well, even against SBC opponent MTSU. I don't know why anyone thinks our offense will play well against other SBC teams. MTSU moved the ball very well against our defense also. I just don't see us getting 5 turnovers to none in the rest of our SBC games. I do think the rest of our games are going to be a lot more challenging than some people may realize.

Since the Sun Belt is such a weak conference, I say that we will still pull it off. Arkansas State and Troy look to be big contenders. We get both of them at home this season, but then I think after last night, "Is that really a good thing?" I voted yes, but we could stil go 4-7 too. There are so many inconsistencies that I really don't know what to expect. There are many teams in the top I-AA conferences like the Atlantic Ten and the Southland that could seriously compete in the SBC. One thing is for sure, I am no longer satisfied with just a NO Bowl appearance. If we ever want to join say Conference USA, we have to start being a lot more competitive OOC.

Actually, the Atlantic 10 folded during the summer and the Colonial League picked up most, if not all, of their members. But I see what you mean. It's scary to think that a school called William & Mary could kick the collective @sses out of every member of the Sun Belt, but they've looked better against 1-A competition than any of the Sun Belt teams have.

Why does everyone do this on this board? We lose these OOC games, and everone starts freaking out about how there is just now way our team can win the conf. LOOK AT THE TEAMS IN THE BELT. We played the second best team MUTS, and beat them there 14-7, and the turn right around this week and lose to AKRON of all people.

We get ASU and Troy at home. Once we get a couple of more games under our belts, we will fine in conf. Remember, this was only our second game of the season.

What if we do win the Sun Belt... will that make anyone feel better about the future of this program???

The problem with only being the best team in the Sun Belt is that it is like being the smartest kid in a special ed class or winning the special olympics. Even if you're the best you're still retarded.

I'm with you. If our only goal in life is to continue to win the 'Belt, only to lose the NO bowl and just about every winnable OOC game we play, then we have no real ambition to better ourselves for a better conference.

Yes we will win, and just like the past few years, the wins will help us more than hurt us.

Yes, we're not in the most desirable conference, but at least we're at the top of it. I think the crowd last night is a direct result of us WINNING in the past.

Stay on top of the SBC, and we will continue that trend. It's then up to our coaching, etc. to bring us to the next level (aka: winning OOC games).

Come on guys... chin up

I think most people here believe that has been the problem the last 3 years. This team has plateaud since the NO Bowl victory over the 'Cats. sad.gif

I have great plan to ensure that we will all be happy, lets just forfeit all of our OCC, since they do not matter to anyone but the fans, this will cause less stress and chances for injuries, all the while DD can focus all of his abilities on beating the Sun Belt teams and being name coach of the year for upteenth time.

Saves athletics $$$$ on travel and the fans the usual 4-5 heartbreaks a year.

I say we go for it. cool.gif

They should also quit asking fans to show up for OOC games if they're not going to be showing up either.

      And camps. Just from Twitter, people claim it’s highly attended, organized, and well run. At the very least, it gets kids on campus and further develops a relationship with the kid/families/coaches. He’s been a positive for UNT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Unfortunately, I feel like pep bands all over the country are largely getting sidelined for the DJ music and "Let's make some noise!" kinda stuff. It's definitely not unique to NT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Football season ticket holder here that normally starts going to b-ball games once the calendar flips to the new year & my schedule opens up. But since UNT is a #basketballschool now, starting earlier this year. First off, anyone agree with this assessment? When I go to football games I'm just waiting for the proverbial kick to the nuts in the second half. East Carolina was a perfect microcosm of this. Oh look! We're up 21-0!! What are we going to do to blow it? And sure enough, we do. Over and over again. With basketball, I feel the exact opposite. Whether it's Minnesota, Oregon State, etc, what are we going to do to win it? And more times than not, we do!! Clutch, clutch, clutch. Well done team! I love it. Really liked the game presentation too. The only thing I've noticed is it seems the pep band is getting less "air time" if that makes sense at the expense of giving the hype guy more exposure. Kinda an ass-whip if you ask me. "SOMEBODY MAKE SOME NOOIISE!!!!!", "EVERONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!!!!". We can be loud on our own without being told, thank you very much. It s almost like a warm-up act before he heads down to Dallas for his 2nd job at Baby Dolls. With that solid radio DJ voice he can then bark out "EVERYONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!! AND GIVE IT UP FOR DESTINY ON THE MAIN STAGE!!!!". Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about there. 🤣🤣 Happy Thanksgiving all and Go Mean Green!

      Is there a portal for coaches? Asking for a friend.

      The dislike for Coach O is incredible and this just shows what type of fans we truly have. His job is to get interaction with high school players and coaches and he's done a better job of that than anyone in the history of this school. His job is to get them looking at us and willing to talk to the school and that is happening.
