North Texas @ F I U

Might as well give Meager a shot, since the game is out of reach.

If FIU puts up 50, can Dodge even think of trying to justify Mendoza staying?

Good job Mendoza

I Miss Booger Kennedy · December 2, 2007

I happen to enjoy Mitch. But not this.

Carrot Top?

"Defense getting shredded tonight by FIU" - George Dunham. There's a phrase you don't hear too often.

FIU has scored more points this 3rd quarter than every other 3rd this year combined.

Oh, and they're about to score again. FG.

Field Goal Good

FIU 38- UNT 19

I don't think Dodge can back out of his assurance to bring Mendoza back without looking dishonest. I figure it's a stone cold lock that we get one more year of his efensive schemes.

And if we didn't get the ball on the 1 yard line to start the game, we'd have all of 13 points.

Didn't he make a similar declaration of Meager being the starting qb for the season?

whats your point? We know you love Mendoza and love his coaching abilities, and of course it is all the athletes faults that we afre the worst defense in the nation and have given 38 points to the worst offense in America.

Yup darn that bad snap that placed us at the 1 yd line, instead of a 20 point ass-kicking it would be a 25-30 pt.

Big F'in deal we still lose.

Losing to #120 ranked FIU is a real kick in the balls to end the season.

Like the whole season hasn't been? I had rather low expectations in relation to most, and even I'm disappointed.

Cr1028 · December 2, 2007

Yep, have faith my friend. All hope is not lost.

GMoney · December 2, 2007

I hate to say this, but we're playing like a team that is just ready for the season to end. FIU is playing like a team that doesn't want to go 0-11.

greenminer · December 2, 2007

He declared Meager the starter for the first game, and stated he'd get at least a couple starts.

mgsteve · December 2, 2007

And to think this is the same FIU offense that scored 22 on our defense last year.......after SEVEN overtimes.

Travis · December 2, 2007

He declared Meager the starter for the first game, and stated he'd get at least a couple starts.

No dodge made it clear that Meager was his starter for good and for the season. He also said he didn't want his QB looking over his shoulder to the next guy.

my point is that our team sucks on all fronts, and if you guys were consistent, you'd be calling for all the coaches' heads. i don't like that we're the worst team i've ever seen play, but if i call for Mendoza's head in his first season, i should be ready to call for everyone from Todge on down, because this team has been terrible all season.

but our athletes, particularly on defense, are NOT up to snuff. sorry if that hurts people's feelings, but it's the sheer fact of the matter. with or without schemes we shouldn't be getting blown off the ball by FIU. with or without them, our DBs shouldn't be getting beat this badly. now, some of that can be attributed to attrition and change of coaching styles. a GOOD DEAL of it has been a coaching staff doing a terrible job.

but the grim reality is that our D is about 1/3 of the problem with this football team right now.

that's my point.

THIS IS TOTALLY PATHETIC.

Hope you Ron Mendoza supporters are happy. This is the most pathetic defense EVER at UNT since I have been following them ...1976 to present. I will not be spending any money with the MG next year if RM is DC. You have to realize some of us oldtimers have heard it all before.....UNT, were going to do this, do that, build a new stadium....you get the point; anyway you have to questions TD ability to put a program together at the college level when he is losing to this level of competition, even if it is his first year....and then to plan to bring RM back as DC...just pathetic in all aspects.

filmerj · December 2, 2007

I can't beleive we are going out like this... am I having a nightmare... I just want the school I love to be a good program that garners respect, we will not get it even a little bit... after this.

Both the offense and defense have been record setting this year. Tell me this, which records are you more proud of, the offensive or defensive records we're setting this season? What is more depressing to you, the fact that the offense has been inconisistent or the fact that the defense has?

By the way, we do have some talent on this team, we have two honorable mention freshman all americans, and I'm sure when the all conference lists come out, we'll have several players on there.
