You dismissed one of the greatest offensive plays in UNT history as bad tackling. How many Warhawks missed? I saw maybe one or two.

To be unbiased, it was bad tackling. There is no reason he should have broke free from that. You just need to see the play without those green tinted glasses. I am happy and elated that we got that touchdown. But, it wasn't anything spectacular other than a broken tackle and some great speed to get away from everyone. The block by Stickler was sweet... but, again, it shouldn't have even gotten to that point. With that said, a better team is the one that takes advantages of the other's mistakes. And that is what we did.

I am not being negative... i am calling it as a i see it.

And meangreendork was right, i was being sarcastic with that original comment.

I watched the play a dozen times, thanks to TiVo. One or two bad tackles, then it's all Fitzgerald and one great block that knocked a certain tackler into the stands.

Stop being an Eeyore, Travis. That play was North Texas greatness, not UL-Pick 'Em sorriness.

Let's look at the play.

1. Good play call. It shows a great deal of trust in Vizza to get the job done. Alot of bad things can happen in the end zone, penalty for safety, takle for safety, fumble for TD, etc etc...That quick out SHOULD give us a little breathing room with the ball at about the five yard line.

2. Good blocking by the line to keep the heat off of Vizza.

3. Fitz makes a solid catch and I would call it 50/50. Half of a good play by Fitz to slip the tackle and half of bad technique by the DB.

4. Stick makes a great block and Fitz does a great job in following it to break out.

If any of these things doesn't happen, then the play breaks down so there is plenty of praise to go around.

It means that no matter what UT does the message board blows up. I have a buddy that is on the orangebloods site (so this is hear say) but he said after the national title game that some people were complaining. They should have won by more and found more thing wrongs with the game. They just won the national title that is what im talking about. We won our first game of the season. Instead of calling for the DC head lets be happy with the win. We get one in the W column. This in my opinion should have been our 3 win. You are also right. The reason my name is Vizza4QB on this board is because my original reason for getting on this board was to see many of thes poeple on here tell us how GREAT Meager so i just picked a name. I think Vizza is going to be a good QB here at UNT. I hope the kid does great things i think he can take us to OU or Texas and play well. He is that kind of kid from what i am told. Also if you look at the number of post i have on this board you will see that I am new to posting on UNT sports.

Well, I'm glad to see new fans and I'm in no way trying to "run" you off with negativity. I apologize for "snapping" on you. I'm a Vizza fan, so you picked a good name. :D

Word of advice, if you want to really pee pee in our cheerios, tell us or imply in some way that we are in no way better than XXXXX University (located anywhere Texas). :D

Why can't some people just accept that this was a great call that went 99 yards for a TD. On any scoring play, especially a long one, someone on the defense has to make some kind of mistake ie: miss a tackle, be out of position, etc. That in no way diminishes the accomplishment.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      It usually works that way. Lose to good teams and beat bad ones. I hope you stick with the team, but if it is too much torture, be like many others and give up. As a long mostly suffering fan, over fifty years, NT is my team. I didn't go to UT or A&M and couldn't care less about them and other the perennial powers. As far as your coach record comparison, Dodge was a bargain basement hire and didn't have a chance. McCarney was the first football hc that was hired with a competitive compensation package. Unfortunately, he had serious health issues and was a failure. Littrell and Morris were upgrades but certainly not proven D1 hc winners. I have not entirely given up on Morris, although the last game was a horrible coaching job. The defensive coordinator basically was fired by his defensive players. They are either/and/or not very talented or were poorly coached. Ether way the Defensive Coordinator is responsible. NT has two very winnable games left. Two wins and a good showing in any bowl would make this year at least a limited success.

      2025 DC Wish List

      We will need to connect some dots for a potential new DC hire (assuming the interim doesn't get it). First, Caponi had no apparent Texas connections. He was a career defensive asst position coach at several schools, and lastly a CB coach at Iowa State, before being elevated to DC at UNT. He did have some DC time at a Dlll school in 2008-10, but nothing since. Was he elevated too fast? https://meangreensports.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/matt-caponi/731 Does Morris have a short-list already? Probably. It's not like everyone didn't know there needed to be a change in DC for some time coming. Here are some starting criteria: -The new DC "should" have previous FCS or FBS DC experience...so a repeat learning-curve doesn't happen. -Texas ties for recruiting would be bonus points. -For a quick hire, I expect it to be someone Morris is already familiar with, no interview needed, only $ negotiated. -Are 2-year contracts a thing for Coordinators in FBS? If not, One-year only please, until we establish confidence. So, with all that in mind: -Find some FCS DCs that Morris worked with somewhere else. -A DC on an FBS staff where the HC has already been fired, or soon will be, but they had a good Defense! (a new HC will bring his own staff in). -A former head coach that has been recently recycled back thru DC to try again.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      In their defense, they probably got influenced by free tickets, the DFW media swooning over them, and want to see why being a real winner feels like.
