I'm not going to throw out numbers and stats nor bitch and moan about the players or coaches or even playcalling. But the D will get it together, this is a tough, proud group of kids. They have been the backbone of this team for years. And now they are stumbling. They will get it together, as will the coaching staff. Different players are being given time, trust them, let them do their jobs, players and coaches. As I stated I have no reason other than a feeling, but they will turn it around. None of these players or coaches are happy with how they are performing. No one wants to be thrown under the bus like the D has been. They will turn it around. Now how about we show up and let them now that we support them.

LETS GO D!!!!!!

The kids are talented, and do have a lot of skill. But, lets call a horse a horse. The defensive scheme is terrible. I dont know how much lapse is due to the move from the 3-4 to the 4-3, but we do know that we have one less speedy linebacker on the field. As for getting it together, these players are already together. They just need a better scheme. I know there are lots of opinions about Coach Mendoza, but a missed play or two in the games so far really made a difference. I believe in these kids, and will hope for improvement for the rest of the season. I'm on the bandwagon for next season anyway?, so as much as it hurts...let's see what Coach Dodge can do for the rest of this year. I know the D will give up some points, but it will be a blast watching Vizza get better each week.

GMG!!!

WOW, that took long. This post was meant as support for the entire defense, including coaches. How about for just a few days we stop bashing and just support. I'm gonna steal the slogan that everyone uses every post season becuase...well I'm just not very creative.

H-Town I feel your pain. (Hmmm, I can't even type H-Town without thinking of that really really really bad R&B group from the 90's...but I digress. No, really, they were bad. I mean Color Me Badd kind of bad. We're talking LFO bad. But back to the subject at hand) Med is just callin it like he sees it. The defense is bad. Not H-town bad mind you, but still pretty bad right now. It's like watching your 4 year old play soccer. He/she will probably dribble toward their own goal, maybe even score on it, and just look generally lost out there as 14 kids all chase a ball around the field in a big herd. They're your kid so you still support them telling them "good job" and "nice effort" when they come off the field but it's clearly not the way joga bonita was meant to be played. It doesn't make you a bad parent to realize this, or even to point it out to others. Likewise we're not bad fans for saying the defense is b-a-d bad right now.

You know you had "Knockin' da Boots".... just admit it.

Exactly!!! Thats a classic right there.

I know what he was saying, but I would just like to see everyone or anyone for that matter just come out and say "Yeah our D has been horrific, but they will straighten it out." Whether they believe it or not. I'm just getting tired of all the bashing of the D. No matter the topic thats what it turns to. Just asking for a little optimism here.

Lets Go D!!!

      What's the appeal of Carthel? Honest question. I don't follow FCS closely, but it seems like every time a position opens up at UNT people on the board want Carthel to fill it. I see he won the NCAA Division II championship in 2017 and has an overall record of 89–48 which are both impressive. However, his run at SFA from a W/L perspective looks similar to Seth's at UNT in that he built up the program in a few years, but he seems to be plateauing over the past few years. I'd love to hear more about what the advocates see in him and why he'd be a good fit for UNT specifically.

      Odus Mitchell - What Exactly are Too High Standards at UNT?

      I really want people to read this: https://meangreensports.com/honors/north-texas-athletics-hall-of-fame/odus-mitchell/3 This man was and still is very much under appreciated here. I love the legend of Mean Joe anyone under 50 can remember seeing prime NFL Mean Joe playing. There is no Joe Greene in a North Texas uniform without Odus Mitchell. We have low expectations because with dismiss what Mitchell showed us was possible here. Heaps of excuses and disgruntled fans attacking each other on our board. Odus Mitchell is the kind of "Old Denton" I want. And MAYBE if we truly honored him properly and consistently as the MOST IMPORTANT FIGURE in Mean Green Football history we could knock off some of the negative karma. The Mean Joe Coke commercial is cute but is never something remotely associated with UNT Football without Mitchell rebuilding the program from WWII hiatus, winning, integrating CFB in Texas, and bringing Mean Joe to Denton. Hayden Fry doesn't have enough in Denton to come and rescue without Mitchell. How this program has underachieved for 20 years is an insult to his legacy imo. I wasn't alive for his tenure and likely you weren't either. But legacy is about what you can read about when there aren't cute videos!

      That would be a little unorthodox when the current HC is still in his 30s.
