And further evidence that we have the most bipolar, knee-jerk fanbase in the country.

Go to an AQ board sometime, like TTech, and you won't believe your eyes. At least we know where we stand around here, most weak AQ school fanbases are way, way more extreme than us.

You don't read many other college fan message boards? The reactions on GMG are mild if anything. Standard operating procedures after a loss is to pan the QB and coaches and lose all prospective. After a win, the staff and players generally get a reprieve until the next loss.

If we lose at MTSU this board will whiplash itself back to the other extreme. However, like others have said this board isn't as bad as many boards.

The chat during the game went to all extremes. We started out cautious ... slowly sinking towards the negative at the first half wore on ... hit the lowest point after we got stuffed at the goal line ... and then rose to great heights of positive-ness by the end of the game.

I think our fan base is actually pretty level-headed for the most part.

Threads after the losses to LSU and K-State were cheerful for the good parts (ahem, moral victories), as they should be when our rebuilding team is up against VERY established programs.

The loss to Troy was completely unacceptable and the vitrol on GMG.com was well deserved. Worst performance I've seen from a McCarney coached team.

Threads after the Houston loss were insightful, and mostly derailed by the Cougar Troll.

Threads after the win against TXSouthern were partly praise, and partly concern, as they should have been.

Threads after the win against FAU were tame. We beat a bad team we were supposed to beat.

Now, this week, we beat the reigning SBC champ at home on national TV! We should be elated.

Only a few zealots, or trolls were here to poo-poo the performances of the team so far this year.

My point being, we read way too much into one game. I agree that the K-State and ULL games were good performances, and the Troy game was terrible. But everyone wants to rewrite the entire season after every one of those games. The fact that we had a good second half against ULL does not tell me that we're going to run the table the rest of the season, although it might show us that it's not completely out of the realm of possibility. Losing to Troy that way did not prove that our team is terrible, although it showed we are capable of playing terribly at times. One game does not a season make, but you sure wouldn't guess it by reading this board the day after a game.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      Culturally speaking, UNT and Denton just don’t care about the teams here. If people do care, they get made fun of or looked at as if they have 3 heads. But if someone loathes our teams and is a student, professor, administrator, or citizen of Denton, they get all kinds of attention and praise from the others. It’s a town that loves being anti-establishment and going against the grain. And sports are most definitely at the top of the establishment definition to these people.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      I'm not trying to scold anyone here, but what's it gonna take for more people to come out and support our basketball teams? And other sports - softball and women's soccer are always solid, and volleyball just made a promising coaching hire. Our basketball teams are a combined 23-9, which is the best in The American. They're also a combined 17-1 at The Super Pit. But no one is showing up for games. I don't want this to turn into a bitch fest about our marketing. It is probably deserved, but the people on this board likely follow our athletics department on some other social media or email list. Every Monday on Twitter I see a post about what teams are playing at home this week. I know some aren't a big fan of basketball, do you dislike it more than you like the Mean Green? Many are rightfully getting turned off by NIL and the transfer portal. I don't blame you. But the coaching staff for the men are putting together its' school record eighth straight winning season. With Burton, the women won't be far behind. In football, I get it adds up for a family of four - tickets, parking, concessions. But the other five spectator sports offer free parking and normally a hella great ticket deal. Season tickets for basketball start at $99 (like $6.50/home game). If you like soccer, softball, and/or volleyball, an Olympic pass will get you a GA ticket for every home game for $75 (less than $2/ticket!). Again, not trying to call out the board, just want to raise awareness for our other sports, especially if you are feeling sour about football. Come out to The Pit at least one time the remainder of the season! The men and women deserve it. Next women's home game is this Wednesday, 1/15 at 6:30pm against defending conference champ Rice. The men play at home a week after that on the 22nd against Temple - last year's conference runner-up. Or, if you live in the Central Texas or Houston area, look for upcoming games at UTSA next Saturday, 1/18 and at Rice Tuesday, 2/11. GMG!

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      We should always try and improve our position when it comes to conference affiliation and over the last few years we have. Sunbelt....Conference USA and now the AAC. We are getting about as high as we can get without being in a P4 conference. Without the right schools the "new" PAC is not the right direction, literally (west) I for one do not want to be in the Big West 2.0. Winning games will be the best way to enhance our position. More money and exposure would be good but the PAC does not even have a media contract.
