A lot of "sky is falling" posts, but the team is exactly where they were predicted to be after two games.

1-1 with a better showing in each game than was expected. Add that to the fact that the rest of CUSA is soft this year; Tulane upset by S. Alabama, Tulsa struggles with Co. St.

We got a lot of football in front of us 9 of the next 10 games.

What's frustrating is that this is a game that we could've easily won today.

What you call frustrating, I call progress. The fact that there are so many different ways the team could have won is encouraging.

No question we have to learn how to win the close ones, but with MAC at the helm I think we will.

We've got a real shot at bowl this year.

I can't remember the last time North Texas won a game that we weren't predicted to win. I thought that was the purpose of hiring Mac and spending all the money that this school has spent.

UL-Lafayette last year. They went 8-4 & then won the NO Bowl.

I knew we'd win because Lafayette had already wrapped up the championship and had nothing to play for. They also had several guys out. Certainly not an upset!

A team that was 4-8 almost winning against a team that was 9-4 and 10-4 the seasons prior is not "sky is falling" territory. No one thought this was a sure win. No one with any sense, anyways.

If I learned at this rate in elementary school, I would have attended 1st grade 5 times (and ran the damn football EVERY time).

So tired of BS excuses for losing.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
