Called an excellent game tonight and has turned out to be a fantastic hire. I won't bog you down with stats the proof is in the pudding. I haven't seen a thread complaining about arm tackling once this season. That was a HUGE problem just a couple years ago. The defensive staff has done a solid job of putting these guys in the right position and letting them make plays. We have only allowed 17 total points in the last 8 quarters against two solid opponents. Skladany deserves a lot of credit for the progress we have seen defensively.

this defense has been stout this year, too bad a couple of pick 6's and last minute drive fails by the defense have been the difference from being 5-1 to current 3-3

We had some tackling trouble bringing down their qb Grammar, but very few flaws outside of that tonight. Defense was dominant. Not an understatement.

I bet the defense was game-planning for Kilgore. Grammar proved to be a pretty good runner, but was not accurate with his throws whatsoever.

The most impressive thing about the defense this year has been tackling. Open field, one on one, our guy almost always makes the tackle. That stuff doesn't go unnoticed. Buyers has been the guy that has most impressed me.

Agreed 90 but I would also say that their QB Kelsey Grammar is not the best I've seen. Still a great night and season for the mean green D thus far.

I'll throw Will Wright in there as well since he's a LB, but usually covering a slot receiver.

I have to agree with you Rick. Take Georgia and Ball State (first half) out of it, which were two of the best offenses in the country at the time

we played them, and this defense has been incredible. They will absolutely rock ball carriers and receivers and seem to be in good position to make plays the majority of the time. Keep it up!

I just hope we don't lose him to a more prominent program at the end of the year. Why UCF ever let him go, I have no idea.

Plus, I really dig that look he is throwing down.

If I could find one I'd put up a Skladany Fathead in my garage for protection against evil spirits and thieves.

All that needs to be said:

nice hit and good no penalty by the refs. Beautiful shoulder to chest.

Lol.

It might actually scare your wife/kids... looking like a hobo got into your garage, making a nest for himself for the evening. :lol:

I don't think Skladany will be going anywhere for a few years. He's pretty old and him & Mac are BFFs

But he needs a Keep Denton Beard shirt, bad.

$$$ > friendship, especially for someone advanced in their career.

Maybe he will stay because he just loves Denton. Makes about as much sense.

For him to have the opportunity to leave, we would need to win 8 or 9 games and have the best defense in the league.

Impossible? No. Improbable? Yes.

      Is the Portal out of control?

      Because it is a bullshit system. I don’t need some kid running a podcast that gives him the attitude that he is all knowing to tell me that his opinion on the system is better than mine. It is what it is. I don’t like it. I see kids chasing dollars hoping to secure their future and probably forgoing their education. Do you really think Chandler Morris is worth the reported $1 million dollars Okie St is throwing at him? Do you think Ohio State’s $200 million payroll provided a solid return? It is not a sustainable system and is not being administered as intended. These collectives are paying kids a salary to just be on the team. It has nothing to do with marketing their likeness, their name or their image. It has turned our program into nothing more than a prep program for the P4 teams. We, UNT, spend time and money developing kids for what? For them to move along to the highest bidder and we get $0 in return. It is not a sustainable system. Why do “G5” donors want to throw money at these kids that have zero loyalty to us? What is the return? Hopefully 9 or 10 wins, a conference title and some BS bowl game only to watch our best players walk prior to the bowl game/playoffs? Sorry but the dialogue and “talking points” haven’t changed. It is nothing more than a game of greed. This is college sports with misplaced priorities that are ruining the game, in my humble opinion. That satisfy you?

      Bowl Tailgating

      If it helps any, this is where our group has been tailgating for years whenever we played SMU. Never had one problem with setting up the BBQ grill, TV, etc.

      Just how out of whack is college football?

      Speaking of out of whack, I saw this story today. Might be old news or old data, but it was new to me. https://www.heartlandcollegesports.com/2024/12/11/where-do-big-12-college-football-teams-rank-in-nil-spending/ It included links to estimates for most of the NIL collectives. https://nil-ncaa.com/collectives/
