As i see it, unless i read it wrong, we are ranked 212 out of 334 teams sandwiched inbetween Samford and Tulane. Where do you think we will end up.

preseason ranking of UNT's opposition for the 2005-2006 season:

Hardin Simmons: NR- Div.III

UNC Wilmington: 143

Arizona State: 80

Chattanooga: 148

Texas a&m: 78

Nicholls State: 323

Angelo State: NR- Div.II

Houston: 150

UT Permian Basin: NR- NAIA

Stephen F. Austin: 234

Tulsa: 136

Lousianna Lafeyette: 70

New Orleans: 179

Florida International: 242

Denver: 132

Arkansas Little Rock:

Arkansas State: 154

Troy: 192

South Alabama: 205

Middle Tennessee: 140

Western Kentucky: 84

UT-Pan American: 279

Oh, by the way... is there any way we can actually have a complete home schedule that includes NCAA Div. I teams only. Because it blows my mind on how scheduling NAIA and Div II-III teams can help this program.

It helps because those games are wins. I would venture to say that every team in D1 schedules games against teams they consider much weaker than themselves so they can work on things in live game action and still get a win. Ask people at TAMU if they thought playing mostly D2 and D3 teams last year helped them. They were a young, inexperianced team with a new coach and those games helped them gel as a team and compete in the tough Big 12 and eventually the NIT. Now I don't think NT should schedule only cupcake teams, but a couple can be beneficial to the team.

      If I was Coach Hodge, I would have this blown up and posted in the locker room. I would tell the players that this is what people think of you and we need to go out and dominate every team defensively until people start putting some respect on our name. Then when people do start to put some respect on our name, we need to dominate teams some more to leave no doubt.

      Some are arguing on their board about who's better between Yale and UNT. They really can't get past the UNT loss. I really want to get poporn and make an account just to let them know we've finished higher than MN in NET every year since 2020.

      Seems like you've gotten over the speeding ticket well.

      Caponi fired

      I think this is a cop-out. He’s been doing this crap since the beginning of his tenure. The first memorable time was against Navy last year on the first drive of the game from the 1. If in the 5th game of year 1 he was already feeling like he needed to score every drive because of the defense, that's an even bigger problem. I think not having a reliable kicker or punter is the main problem. He went for the points a few times early this season and it didn't work out. Same with some punts that just don't do a good job at flipping the field. I've mentioned in other threads that special teams has also been a problem. Evans is 89th in the country in average punt yardage. We have to have a short kicker and a long kicker. Who the eff does that at this level? That's two coordinators that Morris flopped out on. I'm just waiting on us to move on from Svobada at season's end. Was looking over his profile and I didn't know but he also has Tight Ends this year. Where have the Tight Ends been lately??
