Nothing against Vito, but the fact that the DCTF staff compiled the W/L predictions just gave that 7-5 prediction a little more credibility to me. Knowing that the record prediction is the opinion of more than one person also adds a great deal more pressure to TD and staff to live up to those expectations, IMHO.

I think I know what you mean, but Brett knows the UNT program and the Sun Belt better than the DCTF staff. He mentions good reasons why a 7-5 record is perhaps overly optimistic. Obviously, it's not impossible; but I think if we go 5-7 this year, that would put us right about on target for success once TD's recruits are firmly in place.

I've been everywhere looking for it and the people I have asked have all said they have had a lot of people come looking for DCTF. Maybe B&N will have it today...

Finally was able to get over to the GTM Barnes and Noble and got their last copy. I went to 5 Wal-Marts and the Denton Target before that and none of them had it yet. They all said their magazine guy was there Monday but didn't put out DCTF.

Other than that I really liked the writeup, but the ad at the end was a nice suprise. I am more inclined to believe that we will beat SMU and lose to Navy than the other way around, though as much as I hate SMU the Navy win would be a huge win and I will take it that way. Also, if we go 7-5 we will be in a bowl somewhere.

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      State fans showed up because they rightfully expected to win in this game. If the AD thinks they're going to depend on people to show up just cause NT has a team there, they are dead wrong. There are a few, but there are many many more who will not show up when they don't think their team will win. There are too many obligations and opportunities to devote precious time and money watching a team lose.

      After Morris and Sheffield transferred, how many here were actually expecting to win? Many of us were just hoping TXST didn't handle us like they did UTSA this year or Rice in last year's First Responder Bowl. Sure, it's the head coach's job to have his team ready to play and in position to win regardless of the adversity faced, but it's still incredible the performance Mestemaker had. Tonight was better than any game C. Morris has had since Memphis. Coastal Carolina lost their starting QB to the portal and got dog walked in their bowl game against UTSA in their own building. Yes, the loss increases our bowl futility streak to an active high, and it sucks to lose to an intrastate program in an inferior conference, but that shouldn't take away from Drew's game. The biggest disappointment to me was how badly we were outnumbered by TXST fans. We went from packing the lower level of the Cotton Bowl to being matched ON OUR OWN SIDE. Like our team, our fans also struggle to wear green. However, there should be optimism surrounding next season. Eric made a poor hire with his first DC obviously, but made the tough (but right) call in getting rid of him. Next year's presumed starter will be in his last year of eligibility, so no losing another 4000 yard passed before the bowl game. If we struggle to another 6/7-win season and bowl loss with next year's schedule, I think Eric's seat should be pretty hot again.

      So a lot of you think that NT is not deserving of your valuable fandom. I actually was proud of the team that continue to battle with a completely revamped lineup including a completely untested QB. Yeah and spare me the low expectations accusations that are usually leveled at anyone that dares to not rave and rant about a loss.

      Wow. Really? What an asshole. As far as Drew is concerned, four words come to mind: ”A Star is Born”
