What's going on Mean Green?

Seth Littrell
Agreed. The comparison at this stage claiming some significant difference is laughable. I don't know what people expected when they fired Seth a season too late. When a sports franchise is in a 15 year trend of mediocrity and DOESN'T do anything significantly different than what they've always done, you can't expect significantly better outcomes in the short term. That is my frustration with a lot of the fans. Winning the Servpro Bowl game by a late field goal wouldn't change the trajectory of this program. So why react like losing by not getting in position to kick a winning FG would? Similarly spoiling an attempt by the 2021 UTSA team to go undefeated in the regular season meant nothing. Yet many defended keep SL on board for a lame duck season. The only real difference between SL and Morris so far is that it appears that Morris has a better eye for QB talent and is better at unlocking it. Imagine if Morris got a hold of Jason Bean here. Absolutely no reason to be bring up SL like some kind of standard here when he lost all biggest games. Good man, very professional and smart but a mediocre coach. MOST FBS coaches are mediocre (around the median or average performance level) or below. -

Great ESPN Story On Drew Mestemaker
Morris said. "I think you saw the athleticism, the accuracy, the decision-making. I wouldn't be surprised if in 15 years, Drew Mestemaker's playing football still." The way things are heading, he could also simply be alluding to new NCAA rule changes that will allow players to remain in eligible forever. -

True Freshmen Receiving Seasons - Coleman, Sides, Young
Every transfer was once a HS recruit at their first school. It seems to me like most transfers are guys who did not succeed at their first stop and transfered seeking playing time. Does that seem consistent with your observations? I'm wondering if getting good HS recruits AND giving them early playing time is the right formula to getting those guys to stay an extra year or two and ultimately building up a good roster for a special run. -

So sick of the crap this football program slings us
My LSU buddies were talking about what we witnessed on Friday 24 hours later. As the story of DM kept unfolding on espn my friends marveled at what we had just seen. They had never ever seen that before. Didn’t think it was possible. To walk into a top tier college football game after 2 weeks of prep and ball out. It was a fun watch. He stated, “North Texas would not die.” I’ll take that fight every day. And yes I did think we were going to get blown out. I invited two alums for the Friday afternoon affair and they couldn’t be bothered. Showed zero interest. But I took 2 SEC diehards and there they were having fun supporting our Mean Green. I’m not giddy about the loss. Rather I believe there will be lots of fireworks and cannon fodder in a few short months in DATCU. Analyze everything. Every win every loss every missed opportunity every rarity. GMG- 3

UNT vs Texas State BOWL GAME THREAD!!
The first few on the list are situational dependent, so I will address the last two points. You don’t think it is problematic that our backup all season was a walk on that didn’t start in high school? I sure do given that they brought in Tisdale from TCU, a Juco, and a scholarship freshman who were not better. Maybe that speaks to their ability to spot a diamond in the rough walk on, but isn’t it also an indictment of the lack of evaluation of the other three recruits? On the final point. Yes, they were asking too much from the QB in his first start since ninth grade! For a hundred years coaches have simplified the playbook and leaned on the running game when the inexperienced backup quarterback comes in. Suddenly, Morris is smarter than all coaches in history and decides that this kid should attempt around 45 passes (41 attempts plus plays that ended up as scrambles/sacks). Completely out the game in the hands of an inexperienced 18 year old. He exceeded our expectations but of course the player is going to have turnovers! Some have said the first INT isn’t on the qb and I could agree with that. It was another stupid WR screen (that we all hate) that went wrong. So also on Morris. I don’t hide it at all: I don’t believe in Morris. Said this from the beginning. And he has backed up my lack of faith by his actions! No defense for two years, the insane going on fourth down in our own territory in the first quarter, passing up on field goals when we just should take the points, etc. So yes, I hold him accountable for the results on the field.- 3
