No it really doesn't, but is it an honest recounting of our history in that series and our recent opening day struggles? If it is then I say it is fair game. I didn't see anything blatently negative in that article, just the facts, Joe Friday would be proud.

Joe Friday isn't trying to entice Joe Fan to buy season tickets.

I guess being produced by the school as that piece i think was..... you have a very good point.

If that had been written by Vito, I would continue with my first thought... The school could have focused on something a little more positive, the University is allowed to upsell where journalists, in my opion, shouldn't.

Having stood next to and conversed with Vito several times last season I have always been of the impression that he views NT as "just lil' ol North Texas." Almost as if it's not really necessary to get too excited about anything that goes on around here, good or bad, because in the grand scheme of things it's "just lil' ol' North Texas." Combine this with the stand outside the gates and wait for us to walk by for interviews treatment and you get what amounts to a breeding ground for taking your pot shots when you can...and make no mistake, given our record from last season the opportunities are there.

I have never thought that spinning things down the middle was "blowing smoke" or "being a homer." The way he writes things up is no more necessary, or helpful, though than the way our own athletic department puts things forth though. Just wait, there will be an article soon about how "North Texas also has an exciting road game against the LSU Tigers! Last time the two teams played North Texas lost 4,000 to 0!!!"

Hope it's that close this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      Agreed. Similar case can be made for Simon, as he coached in the first few years of our return to D1 when half our games were body bag games. And the guys preceding him were playing D-2 schedules. But, the point is we are historically a really bad program no matter who is coaching, which conference, classification or stadium we’re playing in. Any time a UNT coach has success, we worry he will use as a stepping stone to a better program. We should be so lucky. Hugh Freeze, Mario Cristobal, Lane Kiffin are three former conference opponent coaches that immediately come to mind, now coaching P5 schools.

      An Old Fan's Advice To You Young Fans

      As someone who both hires and fires people, and who has had to tell people “sorry, but you just don’t meet our standard”, I cut Jared Mosley a little slack…until the season has ended. There can be times you know a change needs to be made but, for a myriad of reasons, you choose no comment over good or bad comments and you discreetly do what needs to be done. It isn’t flashy and doesn’t garner the headlines of a hardline “we DEMAND better!” statement, but the job gets done nonetheless. I agree that E. Morris is in well above his head, and beating ECU and a floundering Temple team won’t change that, but I can stomach a change being made at season’s end.

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

      The lost last year to FIU was enough for me to know this coach wasn't going to elevate the program.... We will be the weakness bowl team to get in....and I mean if we get in

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

      This was so embarrassing. From 5-1 to 5-5 is just unfathomable. And we’ve looked like garbage for most of these losses. I think I’m just over this experiment. I watched the recent Dan Campbell clip where he’s describing his team’s identity, and he references having put “Grit” on the wall as a constant reminder of who/what is at the core of the team’s identity. We completely lack grit. A very soft, sloppy, undisciplined team and program overall. What is North Texas’ program identity? The only thing we appear to excel at is finding new and creatively embarrassing ways to disappoint our fans.
