Everyone can think what they want, but having so few seniors, this bodes well for the next few years.... We'll have a chance to recruit quality players, redshirt them and actually start to re-load instead of re-act...

What a difference a few months make....

Was anybody else this optimistic last May?

In a word, No... And maybe we should tap the breaks just a bit. We did have trouble getting consistent pressure on the QB facing an O-line that had 4 new starters. I am excited, but lets see what happens this week.

Yeah, those guys looked pretty good for a unit that was so suspect. I think we will see more player evaluation and adjustments along the D-line during the season. I did like one thing; their quarterback, apparently with good mobility, wasn't breaking the long runs like we started giving up early on last year.

It just seemed that we were extremely quick in pursuit. Sooooo different than last year, when it looked like we were running in sand compared to the other team.

No matter whether the d-line is merely average or will be approachig greatness next year, we are a competitive D1A football team for the 1st time in two years!!!

Ok, I need to tell myself again, tap the brakes!

I would have to disagree slightly with the lack of pressure argument.

Did we get a lot of sacks??? No, but we did get in the backfield quite a bit, altering many pass plays by making the QB run around, causing several passes to be inaccurate.

Pressure doesn't have to be a ton of sacks...I do think the sacks will come, and in the end we need to have a lot more than 12 sacks as seaosn's end, but against Ball St., there was pressure on the QB

I'm not sure there is much to worry about. The defensive game plan was to contain the RB postiion, QB scramble, and make the new QB beat us with his arm. This weeks game plan will be much different and the results should be just as encouraging as last week.

      Women vs. South Florida (1/11/25)

      The first 32 or so minutes of the game was the best ball we've played all year considering the opponent. When we were up 20 I was looking at USF's roster and stats to see if they were missing anyone big and they weren't. We looked like the men at Memphis once they started the full court trap though. Ugly finish, but it's another W. Now we've got defending conference champ Rice at home Wednesday night. Come on people, get to the Pit!

      Denton, America ???

      Eh ? Eh ? I haven’t missed a home game this season. I spoke with Rob before the Rice game. “What’s up with the ‘Denton, America?’ I asked.” As I said, he said, “I just read what THEY give me.” No,Teeth. I don’t think I got it backwards.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      We should stay and build the AAC with other programs who want out? Why? We should be proactive and try to bounce now, to the PAC if possible, with a few other regional members. The argument to me isn't PAC vs AAC today, it's PAC vs AAC in 5 to 10 years if the three you mentioned get their wish and move to the ACC before then. If Tulane, USF, and Memphis move on, we'll be basically be right back in CUSA. Then we'll be crying about how we didn't do anything to get into a better conference or how we've again been left behind.

      Transfer Portal Hits Post Bowl Game

      If he was so bad at RB why would he start in front of 4 healthy scholarship RB’s? Granted trying to recruit better players is standard for every school in the country. I think UNT signed a couple high school RB’s and one RB from the portal so far. The portal player was a second string RB at Missouri State who was behind a 3rd string RB transfer from K State. No one is saying Porter was Eric Dickerson but he was obviously the best choice according to the coaches and second best was McGill who played well and is younger but he still isn’t on scholarship either. So the “walk on for us” theory doesn’t fit when your best two RB’s were walk on’s. My biggest issue was the fact he wanted to stay. You lose staring QB, best TE,WR and O lineman but your leading rusher wants to stay and you let him walk? Maybe they will find a stud RB but for the 2024 season UNT’s most productive RB’s were both walk ons. What’s that say about the coaches evaluation of scholarship players?
