As Predicted

[shaft]

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.

Agree. The sky is not falling. It was a well fought game, but we made too many mistakes.

The good thing is I don't feel like hope is lost, which is more than I could say any of the past 6 years.

Very true, but this loss really hurts. Regardless of predictions. If we want to turn the corner, we NEED to learn how to win these types of games. But you're right, this season will be better and quite possibly take us to a bowl.

Let's get after Ball State at home next Saturday.

I agree there's a lot of football to be played and things could get better but....

This coaching staff and team continue to do things that lose football games. That is very frustrating.

[H-towngreen]

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.

[Travis]

I just want to see us win two in a row right now.

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

This is football. We can play lights out and beat Ball State. The great thing is..our boys will be hungry and fired up. So bring a ton of people and scream your lungs out.

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.

They had already wrapped up what championship?

In a weekend full of dumb quotes, this takes the cake! Congrats!

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.
