It's really great to see the North Texas men get the big splash on the ESPN home page. I hope we are the Cinderella team of the tourny. Those teams upset the top seeds and go deep.

North Texas held Troy without a second-chance point for the entire game.

"If you had to pick out one big difference in the game, they just outrebounded us from the beginning of the game to the end of the game," Troy coach Don Maestri said.

And Jean-Jacques Taylor and the Dallas Morning News remain oblivious that UNT is in the Metroplex.

Yeah well, one major university in DFW is in the tournament and on the front page of ESPN.com. The other two are not.

UTA a major university? They don't even have a football team, and I can't remember the last time I ever saw anyone wearing UTA gear. I think it's great that they're finally getting rid of the stage, but FBS is the minimum qualification for 'major' in my mind.

They are Division I in basketball so that makes them as much of a player in BB as UNT, smu and tcu.

Why do people forget that UTA was in the NCAA tournament in 2008?

That is major college basketball.

They have a fine basketball program, but I just have a hard time thinking of them in the same light as UNT, TCU, and SMU.

Apparently, that's exactly how JJT and the folks at DMN feel. Just reword your statement "They [uTA and UNT] have fine basketball programs, but I just have a hard time thinking of them in the same light as TCU and SMU."

There's a world of difference between CUSA/Sunbelt and the Southland. I'm sorry, but as nice as the UTA posters on the board are, I don't see UNT in the same category as UTA, Sam Houston State, Stephen F. Austin, Texas State-San Marcos etc.

There's a whole lot bigger dropoff between C-USA and the Belt than there is between the Belt and the Southland.

In Football, yes. In BBall, not so much of a difference.

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

      It usually works that way. Lose to good teams and beat bad ones. I hope you stick with the team, but if it is too much torture, be like many others and give up. As a long mostly suffering fan, over fifty years, NT is my team. I didn't go to UT or A&M and couldn't care less about them and other the perennial powers. As far as your coach record comparison, Dodge was a bargain basement hire and didn't have a chance. McCarney was the first football hc that was hired with a competitive compensation package. Unfortunately, he had serious health issues and was a failure. Littrell and Morris were upgrades but certainly not proven D1 hc winners. I have not entirely given up on Morris, although the last game was a horrible coaching job. The defensive coordinator basically was fired by his defensive players. They are either/and/or not very talented or were poorly coached. Ether way the Defensive Coordinator is responsible. NT has two very winnable games left. Two wins and a good showing in any bowl would make this year at least a limited success.

      2025 DC Wish List

      We will need to connect some dots for a potential new DC hire (assuming the interim doesn't get it). First, Caponi had no apparent Texas connections. He was a career defensive asst position coach at several schools, and lastly a CB coach at Iowa State, before being elevated to DC at UNT. He did have some DC time at a Dlll school in 2008-10, but nothing since. Was he elevated too fast? https://meangreensports.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/matt-caponi/731 Does Morris have a short-list already? Probably. It's not like everyone didn't know there needed to be a change in DC for some time coming. Here are some starting criteria: -The new DC "should" have previous FCS or FBS DC experience...so a repeat learning-curve doesn't happen. -Texas ties for recruiting would be bonus points. -For a quick hire, I expect it to be someone Morris is already familiar with, no interview needed, only $ negotiated. -Are 2-year contracts a thing for Coordinators in FBS? If not, One-year only please, until we establish confidence. So, with all that in mind: -Find some FCS DCs that Morris worked with somewhere else. -A DC on an FBS staff where the HC has already been fired, or soon will be, but they had a good Defense! (a new HC will bring his own staff in). -A former head coach that has been recently recycled back thru DC to try again.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      In their defense, they probably got influenced by free tickets, the DFW media swooning over them, and want to see why being a real winner feels like.
