#112 North Texas

The Mean Green might be closer than it appears to getting back to a winning level. Moving up in weight class to Conference USA might not appear to be a plus, but eight starters return to a nice defense that did a decent job. Linebacker Zach Orr will be among the new leagues top tacklers, and even though top pass rusher K.C. Obi is gone, there are plenty of options ready to step up and do more. All four starters are back to a young secondary with good potential. The offensive line led the nation in fewest sacks allowed, giving up just six all season, and now it welcomes back four starters, only losing center Aaron Fortenberry. Quarterback Derek Thompson is back along with several decent targets, but he loses leading receiver Ivan Delgado. Brandin Byrd and Antoinne Jimmerson form a good running tandem.

Well CFN does preseaseason rankings since 2010 from what I can see.... funily enough in all 3 years we were outside the top 100 before the season and inside it in their final ranking, this year -by their own admission-we get almost everyone back from what they ranked team number 88 after last season, yet they push our preseason ranking below the one they gave for the last Dodge season.

I'd be mildly amused if it were not for the fact that this kind of thing fosters perceptions that are unhelpfull during recruiting

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      I think that the reality is that we are just incredibly spare. I watched the NO Blwls and loved it, but absolutely nobody besides the diehards in this site ever cared. We drew flies to games at a toilet of a stadium. As FFR mentioned, we had some great wins, but we usually just UNT’d the bed in OOC play. Once we lost Scott Hall at QB, like Mason Fine or Derek Thompson, we fell apart. Our alumni don’t care because the administration has never cared about winning. They don’t have to. We get plenty of new students every year. And they are completely content with music and arts being the primary window. Heck, a solid basketball program can’t get 35-40% of its arena filled. It never changes here because it’s not meant to change or ever will. It’s why 98% of the UNT alumni base walk away.

      Obviously we all remember Mason Fine but there have been other successful vertically inclined QBs in recent years. D'eriq King of Houston comes to mind considering he was a true dual threat as is Jimmerson. I have zero issue with this guy's height.

      Are they just pulling names out of thin air? What’s the connection? Air Force has given up loads of points this year. Southern MS gives up 30+ points a game. Cassity and Hemphill are intriguing but would they leave their current situations? Would Carthel leave a HC position for a DC position?

      The reality is Both Seth and Morris are from the same football tree and "neither" will/did take their respective team to the next level. Morris will return next year regardless of the next two games. I know modern College football has its challenges but he gets paid to figure it out...I hope he does. GMG
