Near rebellion

[Smitty]

For those of you who did not attend, you missed a classic moment. On North Texas's final drive, I believe the next to last play call was a run up the gut. Up the gut when trailing by three with two minutes left, from their own end of the field, with only one time out left.

I've never seen so many boosters and hard core fans turn on the press box, arms out-stretched, pleading for an explanation. I've never seen so many people stand, turn, and yell at a press box in all my years. I'm not much for yelling at the team, the players, or coaches, but that one moved me to stand and stare at the pressbox. That moment seem to bring all the frustration to a head.

I know Meager has his limits. I know Phillips and Woody have their limits. But you have to throw in that situation, even if its just a slant or screen to Quinn to try to get him into space and make something happen.

To run up the gut in that situaton is unbelievable.

I think I know the play you are speaking about...even more fun was watching us line up, then another 30 seconds pass by before we are called for a false start.

Tasty.

It really is not that surprising to me. We have been seeing this type of playcalling for....oh....9 years I think, though it seems like so much longer. I just find it too funny, that we have a "Green" team that comes in and plays significantly better than the first and second strings, only to be yanked out and replaced with the inept offense that they replaced.

I thought they were going to rush the press box at the FIU game in the 1st OT.

Yeah, I loved seeing Fitzgerald, Davenport, Cox, and Matt Phillips outplay the starters. They were given a chance, and a new formation, and took advantage of it. Why that chance was taken back, I don't know.

The only starter that played to his potential tonight, has played that way all season. JQ should be commended for his effort on this team. It would be very easy for him to get discouraged the way the starters have played.

I still liked that one better than Meager's completion to the other team.

[UNTflyer]

Smitty, I saw that too! What a bonehead call. I was certain there was going to be a lynching.

[UNTFan23]

This coaching staff has made many boneheaded calls this season. It really makes you question their competence.

Remember all the talk J-MO would leave NT early and go pro... we shouldn't have to worry about that anytime soon. He has had such a drop off in performance.
