...we will be 4-4 in the Belt. No bad considering how young we were entering the season.

My only disappointment this season was McNulty over Osborn...even after games got out of hand.

Most disappointing loss, by far, was the Louisiana game. Thompson goes down, we cough up a lead. Defense keeps us in the game before giving up 17 in the final stanza. Wish we'd tried Osborn in the fourth quarter of that one since McNulty wasn't moving the offense.

All in all, pleased with the progress. Again, injuries riddled us this year. However, unlike other recent seasons where injuries decimated the team, it didn't cave.

Since the firing of Dodge, we are 6-10, and could be 7-10...with the same or younger roster. These are good coaches, fellas. With a full season of recruiting, and some better luck on the injury front, we could blow up in 2012.

If Canales stays, we'll be looking at three consecutive seasons with the same OC, and Thompson, who was brilliant at times, with all of that experience running his system...it could be really good if some pass catchers emerge.

Amazing what we did with the young OL, DL, and inexperience at WR. Did I say these were good coaches?

I would be extremely pleased with 5-7. Just wish we would quit shooting ourselves in the foot when we schedule such a tough non-conference slate. The future is bright indeed! GMG

That tough non-conference will help our case for going to a bcs bowl when we go undefeated next year! :thumbsu:

When we win on Saturday....

We will be 5-7,

Have gone from the bottom of FBS to the middle of the much improved Sun Belt,

And ready to make it to a bowl in 2012.

I know I am ready for a bowl for sure.... I do have a question though. How many bowls were offered to the Sunbelt during our reign?

Just throwing this out there, we'll get to play South Alabama at home next season, and by no means will that be an easy game, but what that means is since they're transitional FBS they can't make the postseason but are technically SBC members. That means that we'll get to skip one sun belt opponent next season. Maybe that opponent is ASU or ULL, and if Houston is off the schedule, we pick up another home game we can win, and this team goes from 5 or 6 wins expected next season to 7 or 8. I am excited for next season, it will be the first time in a long time we can all make our bowl predictions and not be making them after drinking kool aid, there is some legitimate young FBS talent here, can't wait to see what Mac will be able to do with the kids he signs this year.

Not "if" UNT wins Saturday as the title of the thread mentions...BUT WHEN UNT wins Saturday the record will be 4-4 in the 'Belt and 5-7 overall. I say that's a darn good start to turning this Green Machine around in a positive direction.

FILL APOGEE for SENIOR DAY Saturday...these seniors have been through a lot during their careers at UNT and they have hung in there and worked hard to build a better and stronger program for the players who follow. Time for the Mean green faithful to tun out on SENIOR DAY to say "good bye" and "thanks for all you have done" to the seniors...I, for one, am very appreciative of the fact they stayed to see it through...

Looks like we'll be there with raincoats on!

KA-POW! Wife will not sit through it; but, I'll endeavor to make a go of it.

Really would like to see us finish 4-4 in conference. I thought we would do that last season, and we almost did. Hard to believe it's be since 2004 that we'd been .500 or better in conference...in the Sun Belt Conference.

      Any Word on DC Candidates?

      Matt Caponi $475,000 Can any of you wizards of math calculate North Texas Football’s R.O.I. on our Defensive Coordinator Matt Caponi?

      First College Net Rankings released

      😂 I hate revisiting the records and specific games of that era cause it was all such a train wreck. Still should be discussed from time to time when some of our fanbase gets restless with wanting to take the next step as a program. Trying to cement ourselves as a perineal Top 50 program is tough but we’re on the right track. I remember years back @TheTastyGreek putting into perspective how tough achieving a Top 25 ranking in hoops was relative to FBS football back in the day. Too lazy to go dig that up but it really highlighted how difficult it is generally speaking and then layer in what you’re describing above - what UNT has had to overcome from a performance and program perception standpoint.

      Seth loses OU gig

      Oklahoma hired Washington State’s Ben Arbuckle — just 29 — to be its new offensive coordinator yesterday. He takes over for the fired Seth Littrell, whose offenses sputtered in the Sooners’ first SEC season. Meanwhile, Florida Atlantic picked Texas Tech offensive coordinator Zach Kittley, just 33, to replace Tom Herman as head coach. -The Athletic Plus

      If Eric Morris wins a bowl game, will you forgive his past sins?

      I’ll never understand the mental gymnastics some on here do to justify this underperformance? We fired Seth after a Conference USA title game appearance- justifiably - so we would get someone to take the NEXT step that was elusive for his regime. Now we’ve got people making excuses for wasting the first year of Morris’ tenure by mis-reading the personnel that he judged to be “AAC title contenders” and then flopping. Didn’t use the portal well enough to beef up glaring deficiencies. Then brings back the worst, yet somehow highest compensated G5 DC in America for year 2 which led to an inevitable firing that even the most casual of football fans could see coming from a mile away before the season even started. The 2nd year performance was predictable as well, but extra dissapointing given the soft schedule 5-1 start. To end up 6-6 is nearly unforgivable. We’d better win this upcoming Bowl game.

      like how we finished 8-22 in Benford's last season and had a final ranking of 299?? at the time we were a few spots below a couple hospital teams, Detroit Mercy & Sacred Heart. now we're three back of UT https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/seasons/men/2017-ratings.html
