I love the new Eagle logo... really holds its own against the Longhorn.

I'm looking forward to the game and all the media attention it will bring... any media attention is good for NT.

I say we negotiate down to a $250,000 guarantee and forfeit the game.

And to think some mid-majors think of these games more as opportunities than body bag games. Wish the coaching staff had that mentality here, maybe Dickey could learn something from Pat Hill.

I could not agree more!

And I don't think DD cares to learn a thing.

And it's the exact reason why the term "body bag game" has come along with the fans of the program. Why should fans think the games are winable when quite frankly the coach basicly plays the games not to get embarrased, and not to win. I would like to know going into games that we have a chance to win games, but it all goes back to the philosophy of the coaching staff.

Uh, he kinda failed on the first part of this sentence last time and I can guarantee he'll succeed on the latter part.

That is funny as hell, but a very sad reflection of our coaching attitude.

--- It will be ugly but it will be less ugly if Vince goes to the NFL. College teams obviously can't handle him. Without him Texas will have a new QB and likely one that can't run that well either.

--- Personally I can't see why he would stay. I can't imagine his NFL appeal being any better after next year. Take the money and run. I still don't see him being a super-successful NFL QB against the size, speed, and those well trained defenses that do nothing (unlike college students) but study football, for years.

---Any Media attention????? SMU got a lot of media attention during the mid 80's.... didn't help them much. Little Big-Horn did not help the U.S. Army much either. I suppose you could be right.... after all, who would remember Pres. Garfield if he had not been killed....... but is that how we really want to be remembered, we got killed.!!!

---Did it do Sam Houston State a lot of good to lose to Tech by 21-80.???

Vince Vaughn, Vince Neil or Vincent Van Gogh could be quarterbacking them and we couldn't get within 50. There is way way way too much young talent and raw speed on that team.

We will be in for a long night especially if Vince Young comes back for his senior season. Vince Young is great but he is no Bill Braskey. Braskey went 6-8 275 and was all muscle. He once threw for 450 yards and ran for 275 and 8 touchdowns in one half. In the 2nd half, the ref tried to review a play so Braskey folded the ref up like a card table and proceeded to play Texas Hold 'Em with the side judge, the head groundskeeper, and the tight ends coach. Braskey won $10,000 that night and the MVP to boot.

Okay, just because people hear "North Texas" in the media doesn't mean it's a good thing. It was bad enough that our team was trampled last time they played, and it's even worse now that UT has that stupid glass football to show off.

Yeah, we play the national champs, but DD's going to have to dig very deep and REALLY coach in order to give UT a fight. Or, RV can pull the clipboard away and really get working.

Well when we played UT 2 times ago it was 27-0. The next time they doubled the points +9. So this time I am thinking somewhere in the neighborhood of 135-0. Come on, I think thats respectable. I mean, they beat Colorado 70-3.

A hurricane versus the 2005 Longhorns... Wait, but the name of the hurricane is Hurricane Vince...

Precisely. Let's all hope that Vince Young sees $$$ before Jan 15th.

      I hope we lose to Temple

      This thread has some loser talk that rivals some of the legendary loser-talk threads on this board. I wanted Seth to beat UTSA even if it meant more Seth. I wanted them to win the CUSA title game even if it meant more. Do we want to win or to be right on the internet? I want them to win. I don't like mixing up Seth LIttrell's tenure and Eric Morris'. Morris, the admin, and the roster etc all made a mistake in trying to keep the good from the old and turn what was there into a winning team. Morris said he made that mistake. He had to change the entire roster. That had to wait a year. So we are essentially in year one. I've written a ton that the roster is filled with youth and underclassman. I see a lot of others have made this same point in this thread. It is true. Some of us gave money 15 years ago in the hopes of this or that but that doesn't mean you can turn a handful of freshman into AAC champions. Quinton Hammonds, Brian Nelson, Landon Sides, Wyatt Young, Mercer, even McGill are all contributors. It goes on and on. The dudes making freshman mistakes were well, freshman. The upperclassmen guys we needed to do some leading and carry things? Well Chandler Morris did that and a couple of DLmen, but a lot of others were hurt. Some just didn't produce. The foundations for next year begin in this recruiting cycle. Morris will discuss the signings on Dec 4 -- we'll know if he has some solid incoming guys. We know he can bring in talent. I like that they improved the DL for this season -- it was worse last year -- but they need more. They need more OL, too. They need more playmakers all along the defensive side. I put some of that on the last coaching staff. Seth had missed hard on defense for about 5 years. He rotated through a bunch of dudes with no luck. We had a patchwork defense with which Bennett did the best he could. The defense has been bad. Morris has made a move to change that. Whoever comes in -- I think we'll see a hire fairly quickly these next couple weeks -- will have a summer to find guys to plug in the holes -- DL, Linebacker, rush end. Is that enough? Dunno. Morris will be looking for experienced, play-making WRs I can tell you that. A Damon Ward who doesn't have the yips and can stay on the field.

      NIL alone doesn’t win. I honestly don’t know much about his coaching, but I have to think he’s pretty good. Benching your returning starter QB in favor of a redshirt freshman was a bold move, but it proved to be the correct one.

      Underrated win in my opinion. They're 3-4 but have just 1 bad loss. I say bad because I don't know much about Norfolk State. Otherwise UC Davis has the 11th ranked scorer in the country and could make some noise come conference play.

      My point is you will see more head coaches leave G5 teams for P5 coordinator gigs. In fact, I could see this happening with Morris. It used to be that a G5 head coaching posting would be more valuable to a coach and his family. I believe NIL and the portal has changed this.
