From LJ World:

"Bowen could represent an attractive pick for the Wildcats because of his significant recruiting ties in Kansas..."

If Coach Bowen can tap into the talent at the JUCO system in Kansas he will be a major asset for us. Also he sounds like an excellent BCS experienced coach! Welcome to Coach Bowen!

How many points did we score on the WKU defense?

19 if you consider we scored 14 points on fumbles recovered late in the 4th qtr.

You know, you can give me all the negative points you want, but it was just a question....and a valid one too. How many of you people hitting the - buttons thought it was okay for Coach Dodge to bring his HS defensive coordinator with him?

I like what I've seen so far from Coach McCarney, but I'm still not a "blind faith" person. I still reserve the right to ask questions.

It wasn't a valid question, it was a shot.

A shot would be "Oh wow, we just hired a DC whose defense we scored 33 points on the week after we fired our head coach. Imagine what we would have done to his defense if we had had TWO WEEKS to prepare".

Perhaps I am missing something. Did we hire Coach Bowen?

Nevermind, just saw the other thread.

I went to look at Sun Belt defensive stats. I looked at conference only because I think that offers the best comparison.

Points Allowed

1. FIU 23.9

6. UNT 27.0

7. WKU 28.0

Yards Allowed Per Game

1. WKU 349

7. UNT 396

From looking at those stats, I'd say WKU had a better defensive than North Texas did this year (at least in conference play). Also, remember Bowen only had one year to work with WKU. I'm also confident that McCarney will provide lots of guidance and help for Bowen since McCarney has a defensive background.

Interesting. Thanks for the link and data. This hire looks a little better now.

He also went to Butler CC, then went to Kansas as a player. A lot the stud from JUCOs are coming out of Butler, 3 of the top 20 are out of Butler. I know we want to recruit HS players but having Juco relations doesnt hurt.

      And camps. Just from Twitter, people claim it’s highly attended, organized, and well run. At the very least, it gets kids on campus and further develops a relationship with the kid/families/coaches. He’s been a positive for UNT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Unfortunately, I feel like pep bands all over the country are largely getting sidelined for the DJ music and "Let's make some noise!" kinda stuff. It's definitely not unique to NT.

      Oregon State final thoughts -- game presentation, etc

      Football season ticket holder here that normally starts going to b-ball games once the calendar flips to the new year & my schedule opens up. But since UNT is a #basketballschool now, starting earlier this year. First off, anyone agree with this assessment? When I go to football games I'm just waiting for the proverbial kick to the nuts in the second half. East Carolina was a perfect microcosm of this. Oh look! We're up 21-0!! What are we going to do to blow it? And sure enough, we do. Over and over again. With basketball, I feel the exact opposite. Whether it's Minnesota, Oregon State, etc, what are we going to do to win it? And more times than not, we do!! Clutch, clutch, clutch. Well done team! I love it. Really liked the game presentation too. The only thing I've noticed is it seems the pep band is getting less "air time" if that makes sense at the expense of giving the hype guy more exposure. Kinda an ass-whip if you ask me. "SOMEBODY MAKE SOME NOOIISE!!!!!", "EVERONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!!!!". We can be loud on our own without being told, thank you very much. It s almost like a warm-up act before he heads down to Dallas for his 2nd job at Baby Dolls. With that solid radio DJ voice he can then bark out "EVERYONE SCREAM HELL YEAH!! AND GIVE IT UP FOR DESTINY ON THE MAIN STAGE!!!!". Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about there. 🤣🤣 Happy Thanksgiving all and Go Mean Green!

      Is there a portal for coaches? Asking for a friend.

      The dislike for Coach O is incredible and this just shows what type of fans we truly have. His job is to get interaction with high school players and coaches and he's done a better job of that than anyone in the history of this school. His job is to get them looking at us and willing to talk to the school and that is happening.
