Preseason question was how durable Riley was ... I guess the answer to that is less than 2 games. Hope he bounces back. But, Tune did a pretty good job once he got that INT out of his system.

Yeah, but damn that int cost us the game.

Well, i guess you can trace a lot of plays to how we lost the game.

This one is unfortunate.

I could tell somethig was up when Riley slammed his helmet down on the training table. but then, he sat down on the end of a bench in the center of the field, and was surrounded by players trying to block the view of the fans, and whoever else, of what was being done to riley's shoulder (?). After this makeshift huddle broke up, Riley walked around and shook player's hands as they came off the field.

Point is, he never acted like a guy with a shoulder injury. No sling, didn't take off his pads, and encouraged the fans to make noise.

I've never seen anything like it.

Tough loss.

Yes it was a tough night. The interception return, two dropped td passes in the endzone, and failure to pull away

more points in the first half in the opponents territory. It had the makings of a runaway with those plays being made. Woulda, shoulda, could of I guess. I thought the defense played well, though. Is there any reason why the defense went to almost a prevent on the last td pass? That did not make sense to me. It seemed we had them on their heels on that drive in a man to man. Give me your thoughts. It is nice to see competetive football again. The team is making nice strides

I thought it was the right call. Keep everything in front of you, rush only 3-4 down lineman. Like I said in another thread, Theo whatever-his-name-is, makes that throw once out of 100 chances. Gotta tip my hat to him, he delivered like the postal service

Look, I am not making excuses for dropped passes, but those boys played hard tonight in a monsoon. Proud of them - tough loss.

Isn't his non throwing shoulder the one he hurt in High School?

I still think now what I was thinking before the game started; in this kind of weather, anything can happen. It is extremely unfortunate that one of the things that happened was Riley getting hurt. Let's be thankful it wasn't a concussion or his throwing shoulder. One thing to be positive about is that the team did not fold after Riley was hurt and Tune threw the pick 6. I disagree with those who say this is not a good team. I think it's a good team with a lot of character. Hopefully, they can continue improving as a team, even if they have to do it without their starting qb for a while. I was proud of what I saw UNT folks doing tonight. We have nothing to be ashamed of, and we have a lot to look forward to.

After Rodge had been through the sideline huddle and Tune had been in the game for a couple of series, I saw Rodge meeting players coming off the field, holding his left hand at his waist with his elbow tucked against his body. Almost looked like a collarbone injury the way he was holding it. I hope that is not the case. Point is, the shoulder was definitely injured.

After the Tune interception, Riley put his helmet back on and was windmilling his non-throwing shoulder so don't think it was a collerbone injury. He was hurt on the hit from behind when he was sacked.

Along with two dropped TD passes, fumbled snap with Dodge under center, 15 yd. step-off against UNT with a dumb unsportsmanlike call against our receiver after gaining 14 yds. in a critical situation.

What was his injury...just got in from the Wyoming/Texas game.

I didn't catch this last night, isn't this grounds for at least a temporary ban, not following your team during a game in favor of a Texas game?

What if it was in favor of the Wyoming game?

      Do I need to go into another rant about how we didn't start our endowment fund until 1974 or 75. It was AGAINST OUR CULTURE TO RAISE OUTSIDE MONIES. When we finally caught on, we were 84 years behind just about everyone else. BUT most of the administrators still didn't want North Texas to change. Around the time that "Jitter Nolan" and Hayden Fry arrived we were the complete opposite of SMU. They loved their money, and we loved our bureaucracy. And that is mostly still true today. SMU resents that they were punished for what just about all the other SWC schools were doing. And that is somewhat valid. But my assessment of what went down starts with the fact that everyone dislikes and/or hates SMU and it culminated with their ham handed, and arrogant, system of paying players. SO, once again, SMU was treated unfairly, but they pretty much brought it on themselves. Just about everyone hated you then.......and pretty much still does.

      Any Word on DC Candidates?

      That was actually for 2017. I looked at the wrong year... they were 79th for 2018-2019 calendar year. Middle of the pack in the ACC. He makes more than Caponi which I don't like unless we plan on holding on to the ball for 35 minutes per game like Army did this year. https://stats.ncaa.org/rankings/national_ranking?academic_year=2019.0&division=11.0&ranking_period=69.0&sport_code=MFB&stat_seq=28.0

      that Jan 5 game is setting up to be super important as it's looking like possibly our only other shot at a Quad 1 win. plus for some of you, it could be a convenient stop on your roadtrip...looks like Memphis is about a third of the way to DC...might wanna get on the road after the game to catch the daytime reunion activities, but either way I'm sure the party will be going well into the night

      Agree, he had three 9-plus winning seasons and two bowl wins. Rick

      Good point. And I guess that's why ASU only played 11 games....as they had a game with Liberty cancelled.
