I hope TD will be HC/OC and we will spend a little extra on a quality Defensive Coordinator. A high powered offense can be wasted if the Defense can not stop teams – Please see NMSU this year – Hal Mumme’s O was wasted.

I think we have a defensive coordinator in Bleil. He did a pretty good job with a young defense. The main time they were ineffective was when they were dead dog tired from being on the field too long due to and inept offense

Fred Bleil's been a beast with the defense. They fought hard this past season, only really cracking when they were on the field for 75% of the game. Want proof? Look at the first half of the NT/UT game. They showed sharp teeth, and kept at it until they just got plain tired.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      For sure. There are some battles we are facing that are industry-wide. just add it to the list of things that I wrote above, and still believe it’s wild we don’t get 5k or more.

      And 69th best comment is ignorance al, because it assumes that all teams in the tourney were better without even taking into consideration the low-major teams getting their autobids. I would say more like 35-38th best, which I believe was our NET at the end of that year. Still the highest ever ranked NET team to not make an at-large bid.

      I have two free tickets (third row, center court) to the January 22 men’s game vs. Temple to anyone who hasn’t attended a men’s game this season and is curious about what all the fuss is about. DM me.

      D1 football has about 130 teams. D1 men’s basketball has almost 400 teams. 69th in basketball is closer to being a Top 25 team in football. And in reality, that UNT NIT winner could have very well made the same Final Four run that FAU made if we had been allowed into the NCAA tournament.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      Where has anyone said to dump football? Further, where has anyone even said to drop to FCS? Look, I'm a football guy. I'm a football coach. I love football. I'm not really that big of a basketball guy. I enjoy it enough to go to games. We just have to understand simple math as it pertains to NIL, funding, attendance, athletic budget, etc etc. For UNT, the math doesn't math for football. Even if the math panned out we would still be what we are, UNT football. However, the math gets very easy to understand, allocate, etc etc in basketball. 5K avg attendance for us in basketball is a big deal and doable. Funding a basketball roster to have 8 competitive players play for us is doable. Allocating more money to UNT basketball can and should be done. Getting a new arena is probably a pipe dream but desperately needs to happen. We have the resources to take the next step in basketball and we can get ahead of the curve and shine a positive light on our University via basketball. That's what it's about. We can be Gonzaga in 1999, today. All we have to do is understand who we are, what we can and can't accomplish and have someone to have the vision to accomplish it. Starting July 1, 2025 schools can pay players directly and we need to do everything in our power to ensure that basketball stays where it's at on this upward trajectory. Not a dime of school given NIL money should go to football players in order for us to hope to get to 6-6, because that's where we are as a football program/school. As to your Frisco Bowl comment, 6-6 UNT gets to go to the Frisco Bowl. Cool. Guess what a 10-2 UNT is going to do? Go to the freaking Frisco Bowl. We have been caged up and there is nothing to be done about it outside of the courts and politicians getting involved, and that ain't happening.
