And it's hard to feel bad about someone hanging 70+ points on Rice.

Yep, Rice with a lesser QB hung 77 on UNT several years ago. I have good friend who's grandfather was the team Doctor for the Rice FB team back in the day. My friends family would always watch the Rice games from the press box level and I was invited to that game verses Rice. The food was great, but the game was a real bummer and I'd been drinking the Green Kool-aid. Needless to say the game was humiliating experience. Now I don't talk to much smack about UNT FB. UNT BB is a different story, but I'm going to tone that down a bit.

Go Mean Green!!!

I was there as well. I even put together several of my alumni friends in the area and a few coworkers to tailgate and watch the game. Sometimes I have flashbacks and crawl into the fetal position.

Worst game of my UNT college life. I was so excited to have our football team in town. And then... oh the horror.

Nothing will ever top Tulsa 2005/6? I felt like someone ripped out my heart and ate it, kind of like how I feel right now.

I was at that game, too.

And the 79-10 OU game. And the 65-0 UT game.

Kermit was right: it ain't easy being Green.

That Rice game was the low point for us as an FBS program. If we lose 79-10 to Oklahoma, well they are ranked in the top 5 and we just made lots of $$$$--it is mostly expected. The Rice game could have been 105-20 if Rice had wanted to that day. That day told me, just like the Tulsa loss at home (54-2) that the current head coach really wasn't going to be the guy for the future. When we lost to Tulsa that bad, you knew that our SBC success was just masking bigger problems. In the end, Dickey just couldn't survive. After that Rice loss, everyone realized that we were just not going to be competitive with ANYONE on our non-AQ level.

That's why I give McCarney so much leeway with this mess. He is literally having to try and change all of this as fast as possible: an apathetic culture, losing mindsets for the team, and gameplans for a thin team, while also recruiting new guys that will fit in here. We may not have been the worst FBS program in the country when Coach Mac took us over, but the number of teams that have been worse than us as a program over the last 6 years are very few. This is a true reclamation project.

      KState MBB and Jerome Tang: What is going on?

      Is something brewing at Kansas State? Wasn't Tang the next big, up-and-coming coach? Achor Achor, who transferred from Samford to Kansas State, has been dismissed from the men's basketball team after playing in just seven games. His performance this season saw him averaging 7.3 points and 2.7 rebounds, a significant drop from his time at Samford. This marks the second consecutive year that Kansas State has dismissed a player mid-season, raising questions about team cohesion and management under coach Jerome Tang. While some sources suggest the dismissal was due to conduct detrimental to the team, the exact reasons remain officially undisclosed. This development adds to the ongoing narrative of challenges within the Wildcats' program. source

      Bye Bye....Topic?

      I not sure about sisters, but they are both cut from the same cloth. @Censored by Laurie supports a young man that decided to take the law into his own hands by murdering a healthcare CEO in cold blood thus throwing his support behind murder as an option for dealing with those he disagrees with Funny how we know more about this assassin in 48 hours than we know about the kid that tried to assassinate a nominee for president five months ago. Let that sink in and question why the media only does their job half the time He and @Coffee and TV will throw out smart ass quips at those they disagree with. It’s how they operate. Speaking of “bye bye topic”, this one will be locked and gone shortly.

      Is the Portal out of control?

      Yep. The system can’t have it both ways. Either pay the kids a salary and let them pay for their schooling or stick with the scholarship system. Having hardworking students pay an “athletics fee” to support these programs while these athletes are getting a salary on top of all the benefits of their scholarship is system set up to fail.

      Is the Portal out of control?

      Because it is a bullshit system. I don’t need some kid running a podcast that gives him the attitude that he is all knowing to tell me that his opinion on the system is better than mine. It is what it is. I don’t like it. I see kids chasing dollars hoping to secure their future and probably forgoing their education. Do you really think Chandler Morris is worth the reported $1 million dollars Okie St is throwing at him? Do you think Ohio State’s $200 million payroll provided a solid return? It is not a sustainable system and is not being administered as intended. These collectives are paying kids a salary to just be on the team. It has nothing to do with marketing their likeness, their name or their image. It has turned our program into nothing more than a prep program for the P4 teams. We, UNT, spend time and money developing kids for what? For them to move along to the highest bidder and we get $0 in return. It is not a sustainable system. Why do “G5” donors want to throw money at these kids that have zero loyalty to us? What is the return? Hopefully 9 or 10 wins, a conference title and some BS bowl game only to watch our best players walk prior to the bowl game/playoffs? Sorry but the dialogue and “talking points” haven’t changed. It is nothing more than a game of greed. This is college sports with misplaced priorities that are ruining the game, in my humble opinion. That satisfy you?
