I am being a realist here but..... What the HECK, NTX fans!?!? Are we all blind to the fact that we are 2 games into the season?!?!? There are all these "my life is over" posts, calling for people getting fired, finger pointing and name calling when the reality of everything seems to be escaping everyone. This is MAC's 3rd year and HONESTLY----- if you ask his HS recruits, the REASON WHY they came to NTX was because they believe in him and want to be a part of growing this program outside of long time local fans. The reality of the situation is that you CAN NOT (YET) compare this program to the likes of the power houses in our state. We live in TEXAS (the best football state in the nation) where we have like five, Star studded D1 schools that are competing for these athletes . And we have a program that within the past several years has been a joke to the 3- 4 star athletes that share a city with the Mean Green. I know most people on here don't have a lot of interaction with the Denton and DFW athletes, but that mentality has slowly but surely changed over the past year and a half.

There are a lot of bipolar posters on here. One minute, we are going to go bowling... the next minute they are calling for people to be fired and d-bags. Realism, people.... Keep your composure.

And let's be realistic- the majority of you predicted Ohio as a loss. And we lost. We crumbled in the last quarter when it counted. And I get it that most of you have bad blood with getting burned in past seasons, comparing, etc....Whatever. Get over it. Every season is different. You can't compare this season to the last and you can't be over eager for things that TAKE TIME. We win against a terrible team and there are folks on here thinking we could get USA Today and AP poll votes. lol The reputation of this program will not heal itself overnight. For everything that we have witnessed so far this year, this program is improving. That is the bottom line AND that is something to write down.

QB- I am not the first person to toast DT when he walks into a party, but our freshman is not ready. SO STOP, relax. Dajon is going to be Bad-A, but not today. I think every athlete or ex- athlete on this board would agree that if you had to choose between a leader that is sub par, but can inspire a TEAM and a young player that shows mad potential and we don't yet know... well... need I say more? Why the conspiracy theorists? (Don't get me wrong.. the team was NOT happy with DT last night.) But, seriously cut the guy a break... Our offensive failures were a team effort last night.

I am not going to reiterate every fail we had last night... there is not enough room on this blog for another 'all knowing critic'. But, keep your pants on, friends.... AND CHIN UP! We have a lot of games left. Let's kick Ball States ass next week so we go into # 9 Georgia with our heads held higher.

It's a message board, it's a place to vent or complain, or overreact, or just have an opinion. But glad you lump everybody together and are here to set us straight. What would we do without you?

Twenty years and I've seen 2-0 once. 1994, and I still bleed green. BLEED GREEN.

And excuse me, but not calling timeout to stop the clock (or whatever peeve us fans have) was dumb. The game was winnable, but we lost. Again.

So to those who come on here and complain about folks on a message board, the same folks who are there, year in and year out?

I say, whatever.

Always appreciate the player's parents point of view!

And by the way, those parents that become lifelong fans even after their son has moved on are appreciated even more (example: Kokjohn family).

Keep posting. Believe it or not, THIS board is considered pollyannish by its critics. All views, from the half-full to the half-empty, equal the sum of the story.

Hope your son is enjoying North Texas...and by the way, thoughts and prayers to the Guyer family are still in play from this fan.

I am assuming that this post made you feel the need to prove your faithfulness... To set your heart at ease, I can assure you that I have more heart invested in this program than you probably think. I am, however, a '"new poster", but long time reader. I'll take your smart ass attitude as my welcome...

um....realism gets you placed on "restriction" on this forum where you can only post one time per day and other limits

this forum is where bi-polar comes to have an athletics program to cheer for and associate with other sunshine pumpers/cliff jumpers

Hasn't anyone every told you that it's not polite to discuss a woman's age?!?! ;) I appreciate that, I may be a "fledgling", but 20 is a distant memory for me....

I don't think a lot of people realize how many of our athletes read some of these posts....

We do.... most just don't care. But then again it is that way with every football board.

I'm fully aware of my faithfulness. There are Buddhist monks out there who marvel at my faithfulness to UNT.

You felt the need to prove your superiority by telling people to "get over it".

We need more "all knowing critics". We need about 30k to show up on Saturday.

Did I mention that I like her?

PS. Putting people down because they are new to the board is so f'in bush league. Just because someone doesn't have thousands of posts doesn't mean they don't know what they are talking about.

I don't agree with everything she said, but how about refute those points rather than just being a dick. Especially to a player's family member. Weak.

You're giving advice about refuting points?

Sorry, guess I should've just posted a funny image.

I'm pretty sure if you go back to my post... the " get over it" was aimed at people who reference seasons 20 years ago in comparison to the kids are playing now and werent even born yet.

AND dammit.... I probably should have created an account without my real name... should have picked "meansteph"...

Yeah, you're probably going to get CougarKing and Froggystyle trying to look you up since they don't talk to women in the real world.

Funny thing, I wasn't too upset after the game. Thought the coaches made some bad decisions but I wasn't off the wall upset.

But some people were, and I have no problem with them venting on a message board, whether I agree or disagree.

Except TFLF. That guy's nuts. We have to have a good passing game to win.

I have nothing against venting... but what good does being a drama queen do?

Welcome to the board, Don't take anything too serious on here & keep up the faith for mean green.

You will come to learn that everyone on this board ( myself included) has some sort of mental problem :)

Despite the venting, all we collectively want is for this program to be successful. Honestly, it is a positive that people still care. I'm not sure a lot of good can come out of the players reading this board, but I would hope that their takeaway is that a lot of people are invested, both financially and emotionally in their success. A lot of these people on here are the ones actually funding their scholarships. Don't get me wrong, this board enters full meltdown mode from time to time, but at the core of it is passion, not malicious intentions.

      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.
