Get over yourself. You're a fan or you're not. Calling a NT conference homecoming win a disgrace-- that answers that question.

I have been a fan for a long time and will continue to be, but DD's teams are a disgrace. There is too much talent on this team for them to play like this. I give the players credit, but this game is an embarassment. 7 overtimes and the final is 25-22? This will be the joke of Sports Center. You like that kind of publicity?

We WON. Did you expect us to??? Is a win not a win, especially THIS year?

Q: What were the winning teams in the longest OT games in NCAA history?

A: Arkansas (right?) and North Texas.

Damn right I'll take it.

Absolutely. Give our guys the credit. As I said in my other post, they won this with guts.

Give me a break - it took us 7 OT's to win at home, against a team that was 0-5 and you want a break from negativity.....that comment is not negativity, it was the truth - that game was a Disgrace.

You predicted:

FIU 24

NT 6

We won. We WON. Now, you're calling the game a "disgrace", despite a performance THREE TOUCHDOWNS BETTER than you expected.

Are you a NT fan?? If yes, then take a deep breath and ENJOY THIS.

Hey, even if the story is offensive futility... I'd be happy to see featured highlights on Sportscenter for a North Texas victory.

And nobody, not even Mrs. Dickey, will point to this win as the response to Dickey critics. This win doesn't save ANYONE'S job if they were already on shaky ground.

But what about Strock? Given that they'll almost certainly go 0-8 at least... is he fired?

3 Touchdowns better? And who scored our three TD's?

C'mon guys... read the post again.

GMG1999 predicted a 24-6 FIU win. We won by three. That means there was a 21 point differential in NT's favor from what GMG1999 EXPECTED to happen.... and he calls the NT win a disgrace.

There are often many ways to get to the same end result. Bottom line - Yes this was a win. No - it's nothing to feel good about.

Wow, you're reaching for straws.

Defense and FIU's horrific play won this game.

We're officially in Buffalo U, Temple territory.

Didn't we knock out their starting QB in the fourth quarter?

I am happy for our players. Thats all.

It's our future that concerns me and right now it doesn't look good.

We need a change fast before time runs out. Fire Dickey and RF today.

15,000 for Homecoming? If we aren't careful we will backslide fast and everything RV has done to improve the game day atmosphere will be lost, maybe forever.

Remember, these were two of the worse teams playing in the worse D1A conference.

We may be working on next seasons OOC schedule already. Let's see, Buffalo, Temple, some obscure 1AA team; who else can we schedule? Utah St? No, they beat Fresno last night.

I'm happy that we won. I'm Not happy with the win. Everyone knows that this year is probably a total loss. Our offense didn't produce much tonight....AGAIN. But it still goes down as a W. There won't be an asterix in the record book that yes it was a Win, but they did it against an 0-5 FIU team, so it should count less.

THERE WILL BE NO NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP THIS YEAR FOR UNT!!!!! We have too many losses at this point. Now that we have that out of the way, lets support our team and quit with the negativity after a win. Wait until our next loss, then come on the board and talk about how bad we are.

I sat on the Student Side again with my family, and I'm VERY encouraged with the number of students still showing up after a 1-4 start. A win will help keep those students coming back. Maybe we'll have a decent crowd against La Tech?

How about renewing the rivalry with SFA? Surely we could beat them. The year before we came up to D1, we played Abiline Christian on a Thursday night at Fouts....lets see if we could line them up again. If we have one money game, along with those two and throw in Texans A&M Commerce, we should at the very least be 3-1 going into conference play shouldn't we?

      Love me some Chico with the jet black Roy Orbison interim hair. For me Chico is like Creed. I'm not supposed to love them but I do. Coach Canales loved North Texas more than most alumni.

      Earth to GMG

      This world does not exist anymore. It used to, but not in the portal and NIL age of college football. If players cared about coaching staff stability they would not be transferring at the rate they are. If this thinking permeates our AD, then they need to look for a new line of work because that ship sailed. Seriously, how many 17-18 years olds sit down and review the contracts of the coaches to decide which offer to take? High school recruiting should be de-emphasized. It can't go away completely, but building a program through the high school ranks over multiple years no longer works. When recruiting high school players, I think the only "stability" play is academic stability. There are a lot of players that have the skill and ability to play D1 football, but won't make it to the next level. Hopefully they are smart enough to realize that. Sell them (and their parents!) on playing a sport they love and getting a solid education and degree while they do. That's why it's important to continue to improve the academic status of UNT. We're not going to be a Stanford, but improving 4-year graduation rates and tighter admission standards will help.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      At this point in the football cycle, if you fire a coach then you throw away all the recruiting work being done for the following seasons. The portal opens up in just a few days, and most AAC schools build their next years roster in the transfer portal. How hard is it going to be for these programs to build rosters for next season if they dont have a head coach going into the transfer window?

      I hope we lose to Temple

      Remember how much we hated La Tech in the 90’s and ‘2000’s? How we mocked them for stupidly going from an Independent in the 90’s to wasting the mega bucks on travel in the WAC in the 2000’s, and their obnoxious fans coming here talking trash? Then 2012 happened…… https://coachad.com/news/did-louisiana-tech-really-turn-down-a-bowl-game/ They had elevated their program to the point that when they lost the last two conference games of the ‘12 season finishing 9-3, and ending as the nation’s #1 offense, they were so damn upset over it they chose, either directly or indirectly to not play ULM in the Independence Bowl. That announcement was the day I practically fell in love with their school and their program because to me it was the greatest stance on principle and accountability and a standard they felt they had set for themselves and held to. Since then, we’ve been there several times, you and me, and have seen how poor their athletics were funded all those years, which gained even more respect from this college athletics fan. That’s where I am as a fan and alumn of NT right now. Wishing we would set a standard, a high standard and stick with it. Rick
