I think this is the very first time it was ever corrected like that. Have we finally turned a corner?!?!?!?!!?

but, this is great news! I am glad that even a big win against a not so good team is giving us some positive pub. We haven't had that much of it.

I've seen a few little one offs about us while watching games this weekend. Can't remember which game I was watching on FS1, but they had a graphic called something like "Rise of the North" talking about Northern Iowa's win, North Carolina, North Texas, etc as an example.

With how much more coverage CUSA gets than the SBC, which is still little, at least it's something. If we get an 8 or 9 win year, people are going to know about it in this conference.

But wait.. according to some beating a team like Idaho won't matter... we need to beat a bigger opponent. Its amazing how much positive talk there has been this week. As I have referenced many times before wins is what matters for this program at this point. Who gives a flip if its against Texas Southern, Idaho, you name it.

Wins create excitement ( I will now make my usual "follow Kansas State's plan" statement).

It was so nice to see him get corrected by another announcer. Yes, some TV commentators really do know our name and actually are will to say it.

Now if the choice is win a game and be called North Texas State or lose, I'll take the win.

While I agree with you that this program needs to win, the thinking that beating patsies will create buzz and fill Apogee is crazy talk. Beating someone that matters is what matters to the casual fan.

Also, it's nice to be an upset pick. It woulda been nicer if the pick wasn't made by an Alzheimer's patient.

I just can't understand why we can't be called 'North Texas'. Having been on Campus when it was NTSU, then UNT, I find calling ourselves North Texas a happy medium. I blame this on myself, or Parents, since the Name Change back in '88 was on my 20th Birthday. :rolleyes1:

The guy who corrected him was also unsure, calling us "north Texas" instead of "The University of North Texas."

Maybe if we win they will get it right.

There is nothing wrong with North Texas! I went to NTSU and UNT but I don't have insecurity issues, and have the need to feel butt hurt if they put a state in there. As long as they talk about us I am happy, if we win enough they will get right.

Very nice find. Great to hear him call us North Texas State multiple times. See, our helmet is working.

C'mon man the dude is old. Honestly, we just have to wait about 10 more years until all those guys die and retire and well never hear north texas state again.

I only went to unt, but don't care what they call us as long as we win.

Don't know dude. I'm 51 and still wear my NTSU ring with pride. I hope you are not wishing my death in the next 10 years.

But, I tell people I went to North Texas them give them the history of the name changes. Why don't I make friends that aren't North Texas grads?

At least he didn't call us North Texas University, a name we have never ever been called anywhere in our history, yet ut keeos popping up lately.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I can’t get over how the offense just dies all of a sudden. As soon as they lose (or can’t establish) a rhythm they’re obsolete for an entire quarter and a half. (Ex: Memphis when the defense actually held and made them go 3 and out multiple times before the flood gates opene; Army when they couldn’t do anything the whole game; ECU and the abysmal 3rd quarter; heck even against Tulane they were only up by like 3 before the end of the half and got super lucky with multiple short field positions due to mistakes). The statistics for the offense feels hollow. Super explosive but no capability to sustain a slow, clock bleeding drive. Which means short time of possession and longer time for the defense to be out there. I guess live by the air raid, die by the air raid. (And they’ve been consistently dying)

      ****OFFICIAL ECU vs UNT IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      S.O.S. We made too many mistakes…we didn’t play complimentary football…had our chances…I could’ve called a better play to help us out…defense gave up too much…blah blah blah. It’s the same excuses he puts out there the past 5-6 weeks. Seems to me that all goes back to coaching. All of this is a product he created with his environment and culture. This is what you get when you have a coach that’s inexperienced and doesn’t know how to get out of funks. No proper adjustments and make the same mistakes over and over and over again.

      What’s up with DT Sheffield?

      Didn't he come in a play or two after the DPI call on the 3rd down pass to Conwright? I agree with you though that it was bizarre. I was searching for him on the sidelines and wondering why he wasn't in the game. It's a complete head-scratcher even after sleeping on it.

      Honest tactical question here…

      100% yes. This is the Achilles’ heel of the air raid system. To win consistently with the air raid, a deep defensive bench is needed to keep fresh legs on the field. Otherwise while the offense is high flying, the defense is absolutely gassed come the 3rd and 4th quarters. No disrespect to Mike Leach but I’m over the air raid system. I want to see us run the ball, dominate the line of scrimmage, control the clock, and allow our defense time to rest so they can in turn make stops. This is complimentary football.
