Looks like the return of "a win is a win."

On the plus side, really cool to see Brandan Walton not let this be his last game. We needed him to will us and he did. Fun to see.

This game really shouldn't affect anything. He's either going to be fired or he's not. If the bar is set so low that a win like this is a big deal for the program, well, he probably wasn't going to be

Interesting that the Rice fans seem to think their coach may be done after this loss. Benford really pulled off a win when he needed it.

If he does come back I hope he proves everyone wrong.

An OT win over the worst team in the conference probably just saved his job.

HIs job was safe before this game even tipped off. His job would have only been unsafe if this was Year 4 instead of Year 2...

Serious question.

If the AD doesn't give a f!#% about having a winning program then how can they expect the alumni, city residents, and the mean green nation to care either?

It can be argued that none of those groups care (enough) for it to matter, but this program WAS on the rise and fan interest was as well. So the program killer will be brought back to lead(?) us through another mediocre (at best) season before he can be fired. If this season is any indication we can look forward to another crappy home schedule next season to make sure we kick what's left of the fan base right square in the nuts.

Brilliant, just f-ing brilliant.

Because you're called the MEAN GREEN NATION. That's a through thick or thin type thing, but Benny needs to go. :)

If we are the Mean Green Nation, would Bendford be Crimea?

By now, you know the answer to this question. As you can read in my recent post on another thread--its a cost containment question. Everything else is secondary.

      Is this what an “offensive genius” looks like?

      The defense was disastrous last night but stop with this "offense did enough to win" crap. A 3 and out and interception in the first 2 drives is not doing enough to win. Were it not for a defensive stop after the onside kick and a Porter 79 yard run, we'd have been down 21-0 and counting. Yes, the defense needs to do more but what high powered offense puts up 7 in a half? This team did the same crap last year. No offense in the first half and then when we put up garbage time points people say "look at the offense." The offense is bordering bad. Tulsa put up 46 on UTSA. Texas State put up 49 and even Rice put up 29. Just to show you where our "high powered offense" stands.

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Atrocious in "all 3 phases" (that onside kick was a film study discovery by UTSA) but E Morris is just a horrible game manager. Just stupid decisions on multiple levels. I wish we weren't in the bowl hunt so Caponi could be fired if at least as a symbolic action to show the rest of the staff (minus Cobbs) they need to step it up a bunch. To the decision making, it's all been said. The timeout at 2nd and 16 with 49 seconds to go when most offenses would just let the clock run out to close the half, not taking reasonable field goal attempts early on, poor playcalling (honestly surprised a screen didn't get intercepted), these things fall on Eric Morris. Just garbage level game management. It's like he's playing a video game where there's no real consequences. Time of possession was about 39 to 21 in UTSA's favor. I know Porter had huge runs but UTSA also had huge plays. Why is it that others are capable of sustaining drives and eating clock but our "elite" offense can't do so? Defenses aside, you'd think our supposed top notch offense could be more consistent. I know our defense needs to make stops more consistently but anybody please tell me why our offense isn't capable of having some 6 or 7 minute scoring drives? Morris needs to relax on the pace of game. Just idiotic at this point.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      Hilarious. Dudes have been in here since the 70s waiting for a miracle. I refuse to waste that much time.
