Guess this is a good time to say online is not real life. I know us on this board are crazy psycho fans but the mean is much closer to “oh cool, playing a bowl game in Dallas? Yeah I’ll go.”

Did we have a bye week?

I have no problem with the assistants. OK, with Cassity sticking by his guys, I hope it doesn't take too much time away from his Portal recruiting.

While a lot of what you said is true, I'm not convinced about winning over the alumni. Most were never interested in FB, or were fans of bigger schools, and many of the few that were have been lured away by the ESPN Minor League CFB system. We let 30-40+ years of students roll through UNT w/o much of a FB program to embrace. Worse yet, we spent a good portion of that time being a commuter school that was also significantly populated with students majoring in art, music, and elementary school teachers. While there are exceptions, a large majority of those students aren't interested in FB. It's interesting that art and music majors aren't in the below, but maybe many of them never complete their degree or end up with a teaching degree focused in that specialty. I'm kinda' surprised at the legal numbers. Now that we're well over 40k, we're less of a commuter school and the number of students interested in athletics should be getting a larger. However, even if 20k of those were FB fans, as I mentioned above, many of those are T-shirt fans of other big name schools. They'd rather watch SEC FB on a big screen TV in their comfy room with cheap snacks and beer than personally attend a UNT game.

I’ll probably get downvoted, but that’s the way it should be in my opinion…for both players and coaches. Finish out the season that you signed on for.
