We've broken out the Inverted Wishbone a few times this year. 2 tight ends up to block with a deep back.

That formation is usually referred to as stone. I like when we get in that, but I would also like if we got in wishbone a little, so long as it worked of course.

WISHBONE...with the right personnel....it is unstoppable. But you need a bruising FB and lighting quick TB's and a QB that thrives on hitting or being hit. Hard to find all 4 on the field at one time today.

My high school ran this offense. MOST BORING OFFENSE EVER

When the entire wing-T playbook is utilized and executed effectively out of different wing-T formation sets, the defensive confusion created by the multiple misdirections, deception, and play-fakes is a thing of beauty. Harold "Tubby" Raymond perfected this at the University of Delaware and had great success and some pretty exciting offenses winning 3 national championships during his tenure from 1966 to 2001 (albeit at the division 2 level). It wouldn't have success at the D1 level anymore but it's still a fun system to watch if run the right way.

      Sorry, if you don't have an SEC or Big10 patch you're not on any lifeboat.

      blowing out a Q3 team should not matter that much, the predicted metrics had us winning by over 10 anyway. For a top 75 school to move up 10 spots at this point in the season usually takes something significant. Usually other schools need to drop down (Dayton did), also McNeese and has been looking good lately, that could also help.

      Agree with this. Denton has never embraced UNT as "it's" school to support with the town.

      Yes, the local media was really hyping the Blizzard of the Century coming today. I could also tell by the hoarding going on and low stock on shelves at the grocery stores.

      I believe we have had more games without classes in session. If someone has the academic calendar handy for this year and last, I can work up the exact numbers. Knowing we would have more games played during the academic break (and the horrible slate of games the AD put together) is exactly why it was critical for the AD to work extra hard getting the surrounding community to the games. I live too far away to know if they've done anything, but based on the results, I don't know if they have...certainly nothing that's moved the needle. It's like they just take time off when students aren't around. We need the so-called t-shirt fans from in and around Denton. What has the AD done to generate excitement and stimulate demand for the program? Whatever it is, it's been a complete failure IMHO. We have a team and program on the rise. It's WINNING games on a regular basis. Based on the last few years, we had a lot of momentum going into this season and it's been squandered in epic fashion. I doubt they are doing anything and just running out the clock waiting for the students to return so they can continue to do nothing. Here's an idea...It seems Jared enjoys his court-side seat. How about running a "switch seats with the AD" promotion? Each half one lucky attendee is drawn and gets to sit court-side and Jared moves to the cheap seats. Who knows, maybe you only get a handful of extra tickets out of it, but we're moving in the wrong direction.
