I guarantee you there will be some in CUSA who will say Tulsa will win that league's football championship now.

Tulsa still hasn't played UTEP. UTEP will more than likely win the West division of C-USA until proven otherwise.

This is true, NTEagle08, but didn't the "lightly regarded" UH Cougars almost beat UTEP in El Paso 2 weeks ago?

I think many of us now believe Tulsa has a very talented and well-coached football team. I think OU's Coach Stoops would also tend to agree with that, too.

There is a reason they (TU) are in CUSA and we are not, too. (DD made a similar statement such as that about 2 weeks ago that I agree with). While NT was floating around for 12 years in NCAA D1-AA purgaotry while not improving its football related facilities for an even longer period of time, Tulsa still maintained their NCAA D1-A status and the percs that come with that, and many of our NT elect forget about such things as that.

We lived off the well-recruiteed Roy Bishop class all the way to a bowl win in the Big Easy and FWIW for those who even take that "W" a bit too lightly, that bowl win was over the co-champion of Conference-USA no matter how anyone felt about the quality of that Cincy' football team. For those who have forgotten, Cincy' beat a very good TCU football team that same Fall.

It might be pointed out, too, that those key NT assistant coaches who helped DD recruited the "Roy Bishop" class are (for the most part) all gone and one reason for that is that UNT still seems to be a litttle bit too "penny-anti" with our assistant football coach's salaries.

Who said they were "lightly regarded"? Every publication I read had them as the "sleeper" in Conference USA: easily UTEP's best opponent in the West and possibly overall.

After tonight, UAB is the only one that truely worries me, and we get them in the Sun Bowl. I'll be watching Memphis/Tulsa the rest of the way with special interest after their game tonight. Not quite sure what to take of it yet.

      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?

      You mean the playbook that famously can be drawn out on a napkin?

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
