We get the same thing, win or loss - everyone telling us this thing is "on the right track" no matter how crappy it looks. Heard George say it on the radio yesterday.

Crazy. The standard is the champion of your league. For us, that's Troy. We haven't gotten more competitive with them since Dodge was hired. And, we won't as long as Dodge is here. I wish someone in the athletic department cared about our alma mater. Anyone.

I don't think this will happen, but if it does..... ???????

I don't really pretend to know enough to take a stab at answering a question worded like that, but, if I'm physically able, I'll be in Denton next Saturday to watch UNT take on the hated WKU.

Did anyone catch Brett's five Qs with the Troy beat writer? I thought his comment about Troy's recruiting tactics was interesting. Not regarding their over-signing, but the idea that JUCOs are the only way to compete in the Belt, and he referred to FIU as an example of a program that is finding out the hard way you can't build a program with full freshman signings.

Is there any validity to that? I am not questioning Troy's success, because they have clearly found a formula that is working, but it seems to me if you have the patience to work with freshman and coach them correctly, the dividends are far better than JUCOs?

Freshmen or JUCO, one this is certain - you need a coach who knows what they're doing with the players he has on his roster.

You can give me watercolors or oils, but I'm not an artist. So, whatever I put on canvas will not look good. You want a masterpiece, hire a real artist. You want a good football team, hire a real coach.

We will blow out WKU, saving TD's job.

He should be gone at the end of the season regardless of Saturday's result.

I don't think we have the ability to blow out anyone. I expect this to be a close game, decided in the 4th. :ph34r:

The WKU-UNT game will be a good one, it always is, I actually think they are our rivals in the SBC, so much hatred and close games....

They really really really hate us, for those two close wins, fights, and etc.

Games like these can go either way, they are looking to get out of their slump what better team to do that with than NT....

I am definately going to this one, screw Halloween.....

If we lose, more calls for Dodge to step will come, but will be ignored..... Dodge will be given his fourth year.

Prediction: Too close to call. but NT will be expected to win this one.

If that should happen we need to get the paramedics ready because several people will jump off of the back of the Fouts Field press box.

At least that would mean that we were still in the game late enough to still have some fans left in the stadium at the end. You always have to accentuate the positive when you are a Mean Green follower. :ph34r:

this is as close as it gets to a must win for the mess.

We should win - comfortably - but if we somehow lose this one, it's the only way I can see a potential change occurring.

So if we win, Dodge comes back for a fourth year of this mess and if we lose, he is gone?

There is really no excuse to lose at home to WKU. However, even with a victory, I would think one or two more wins and no blowout losses would be necessary the rest of this season.

So what we are saying basically is this: in 3 seasons and 5 wins we will get to have a fourth year of this? If so, then we need to GIVE up going to another conference and just accepting mediocrity.

Believe me, I can certainly see your point, and it is frustrating. However, the reality of the situation in which we currently find ourselves may dictate some less than lofty goals. Now, how we placed ourselves in this situation is another discussion entirely.

Maybe the anti-WAC group will now change their tune and want us to go WACky since the SBC has clearly gotten too tough for us? On the other hand, Idaho would probably whip us 70-7.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
