My Thoughts

Yes, this was a tough loss. But by no means does it warrant the reaction that it is getting. We're 3-6 with 3 games left that are VERY, VERY winnable. Don't judge Troy based on previous performance. Troy has two wins against two of the worst teams in college football, and they're by a combined 4 points. They are simply a bad football team. Western Kentucky is looking good, but we own them, plain and simple, and we're a better team at home. Middle Tennessee is one of the worst teams in college football(we win this one HUGE). I'm hearing that Thompson has a concussion, so he should be good to go next week. If he's healthy, we could definitely still win 6 games. With McNulty at QB however, all bets are off. Don't write this football team off just yet, because this season is far from over.

Go Mean Green!

I agree with you but at this point we just don't play well on the road until proven otherwise. I will say this they are all winnable games and that would still be a great turnaround for us. GMG!

The next step in developing a winning program is the ability to win road games. Obviously, we are not there yet. But, we have taken the first step (winning games we should win at home) and I have every confidence that we will get to the next step (winning tough games on the road). Rome wasn't built in a day and the program won't be rebuilt overnight.

I expect us to get better, but these type of performances are embarrassing. I've never seen anything like this.

So you weren't watching the last 4 years?

I meant I've never seen such a huge difference between home and away performances. We're a solid team at home, but we mail it in on the road.

My first 3 years at UNT were under Dodge so it's a miracle I still give a damn. My class had to endure the worst stretch in UNT history so if I didn't leave then I'm in it for the long haul

Patience, Grasshopper. Young teams often play well at home and poorly on the road. I thought this might get out of hand today, as ASU is clearly the best team in the Belt. We will be competitive in at least 2 of the last three games. Troy will be very interesting.

Young/inexperienced teams are also very inconsistent. Consistency from week to week is usually the last thing to come to a freshmen QB and a young team.

You're right. It will be OK. Just wait til the next home game and the Wildly Inconsistent Green will win big!

Seems we said the same to console ourselves after getting thrashed by FIU and then ULL. We still suck. We just suck less than the teams we have beaten. Hopefully MUTS and Troy are as bad as they seem. Wky may just kick our ass.

Some may have. You can't determine who is the best team in game 1 of the season or game 3 in conference play. ASU has beaten ULM and WKU on the road, lost to Illinois and Va. Tech by 18 and 19 points, and thrashed FIU at home. Pretty impressive resume. The only tough game left is LaLa on the road.

On a side note, can someone explain why Ark St has 3 home games and 5 road games in conference play this year? Weird.

UNTLifer · October 30, 2011

97and03, why is it that every time we lose you state, "We suck?". We are a young, inconsistent team at this point that is fun to watch win at home and frustrating as hell to follow on the road. We will get better, but I don't think we deserve the label "suck."

MeanGreenHoops · October 30, 2011

You want to see suck

They've scored 7 points combined in the last 3 games and lost to FBS SHSU. That is New Mexico. No we don't suck. We are thin on depth and don't have enough horses yet, but we are far from suck.

Any coincidence to the teams performance the last few games and who's running the QB position?

Home games DT plays, NT competes.

Road games DT out/injured, NT mails it in.

You, my friend, may suck. UNT, on the other hand, is showing major improvements over last year. We've made Apogee into a home-field, we've gained support from the student body, and there's a sense of excitement going into gamedays.

UNT has a long way to go still, but is well on its way.
