Breaking: nUTSAck becomes the first team to add their season record to their helmet.

So do I redirect the thousands of dollars in donations per year to Athletics MGSF and special projects to NIL??? Or am I and others like me supposed to also now fund the players “salaries” on top of all this while the coaches and administrators make millions in salary? The whole system is unsustainable and quite bluntly, F’d. Make the schools themselves pay for this shit. UNT has a like 600 million dollar a year budget. Pay salaries, put players on contracts, and call it a University marketing expense. Also I’m a fan - I’ll complain about or praise anything I want at any time. Stop blaming our fans. It’s old and tiresome and I’ll continue to call it out every time I see this line of idiocy.

Save all that “But we’re 5-2, anyone would have taken that at the beginning of the season” BS. Everyone would have taken 5-2 because of how piss poor the defense was last year. Well, this team isn’t 6-1 because that defense is STILL piss poor. We scored 44 points…FORTY FOUR…and lost by 8! There is no f’in silver lining around that 💩

UNT is 5-2. One game away from bowl eligibility with 5 to play. The offense is one of the best in the country. Yes the defense is struggling. But there are some key defenders that were available at Memphis. With complete roster turnover this team is ahead of schedule. At some points on offense last night this team had 5 true freshman out there. And still went toe to toe with a Memphis team that had over a million more to spend in NIL and roster building. Below is a pre fall depth chart. All players in red were unavailable for Memphis game. #GMG show up for homecoming and cheer on a fun team.

I went in thinking we could match-up well. I did not realize they were just a bigger, better team. They are. however, what I saw was a team that did not give up….there is no quit in this team. In past seasons, our teams would quit getting down early. We were in this game at the end….which is what you want to be. That gives me hope and encouragement. Tere are a lot on this board that hate on this team…I don’t get it…but be who you are. Not a problem this team does not quit, and for that, I am proud to support them. We will win more games this year than the majority predicted. We were picked 6th I believe. looking forward to the Army game. Come on out and support the team.

Hey everyone, I've been trying to find ways to support the players via NIL, and one of the ways I am doing that is by hosting a sports card show, and bringing in some UNT players to sign autographs. The first athlete I've hired is Chandler Morris, and in addition to the money I'm paying him, the best way to support him is by having a great turnout and making him feel loved. So to that extent, you're all invited to be a part of that on November 16 from 2pm-3pm at Vista Ridge in Lewisville. You can get free tickets here by using the code UNT. Hope to see anyone who can make it there! JUST ADDED: DT Sheffield as well. I hope to see lots of local GMGers out there showing support!

He was just an expensive insurance policy. He was never going to beat out the returning starter. He will only play if the starter goes down but what a nice option to fall back on. I'm happy with the QB we have now!

If only there were someone who was paid thousands and thousands of dollars to teach proper tackling technique. But what would you call such a person??

They would have a better crowd if…. they played opponents the fans cared about the weather was better they had an IPF there were not so many other entertainment options in south Florida they would just win consistently for a decade they changed the culture at FAU Did I miss anything?

Per the AD, be there. If you can't, put it on the TV or phone. Per me, even if you can be there, leave your TV on at home with the game playing so your dog can watch. Can't hurt the ratings and the best friend should get to watch the game. https://www.wfaa.com/article/sports/ncaa/north-texas-football-espn-2-tulane/287-627eee49-9819-473b-8d6b-c471b7908ad8?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2ODhgMsqBYNqalWvWQugJ46yn1JOnDaEnY3IxlfA5lqnYvaA_S7rB5Dco_aem_1yN-WBFD6DqbddN3I-JwbQ

Watching Gameday. A lot of teams are still in the hunt. 3 teams from our conference are on that list. Tulane, Army, Navy. We get 2 of these the next 2 weeks at home. If we win today……we have a chance for a rocking stadium in Denton the next 2 weeks. A stadium that can be a home field advantage when it’s full. We’ve all seen it. We have a chance for 2 monumental, program changing wins the next 2 weeks. We have a chance to get on that list of being in the hunt. I’m not saying we will make the playoff. But just being on that list puts us in a club….a club of teams that have substance nationally. Thats all we have wanted. It’s all there in front of us and for us to go take. It’s pretty simple. We win today. We’re in that conversation the next 2 weeks. We lose today, we’re not.

I believe it was time for Seth to move on but it's hard to understand why some of you will be so happy that he was fired from OU.

We're still in the hunt for the conference championship. Do I like our chances against Army? No. That game terrifies me. But, except for Tech, we've been competitive in every game. I'm so tired of this board bitching.

Are a LARGE reason why this staff is winning and succeeding Was the defense bad tonight? Yep! Did the offense stall out on key drives and shoot itself in the foot more than once? You bet! Defense allows 27 and gets shredded in the first half, only allows 10 in the second half and the touchdown came as the result of a pick in our own territory. For all the criticism this defense has gotten, and much of it is valid, Morris (and to an extension Caponi) both deserve their flowers for how they've been able to make in game adjustments and correct things at halftime to keep us in games. Specifically in the 3rd quarter, we have the #1 scoring offense in all of FBS. And our defense ranks 35th in 3rd quarter points allowed. That is NOT insignificant. It is so easy to be frustrated with our defense's shortcomings. I am not arguing that. But we have to give credit where it is due.

The old timers on this board are never happy. We have turned the page and improved since last season. Has the defense improved, yes. Is it great, no. The offense is better with Chandler Morris at QB. The teams playing hard and bought in. We're one win away from being bowl eligible with a bunch of young guys. The future is bright. Smile a little, it's ok.

Texas is on another level. I wish SL the best. He elevated the program from a bottom dweller to a .500. Glad he was here, but I’m also glad we moved on. Props to him for answering questions after an embarrassing loss.

Glad we won, but we have better figure out how to tackle because Army will rush for 1000 yards if we don't. We better make them beat us with the passing game.

Everyone hates on Stone. I am not related to Stone, but I feel the need to defend him. Stone has never said a bad word about North Texas. He didn't walk on, we recruited him. He has given us 100% and done what he can. I am hoping he proves all the haters wrong. He is a good person and didn't transfer to a lower level to get playing time. He has played the role we have asked and not complained. Can we please stop hating on him?

It's my understanding it'll be the end of his contract, so he simply won't be renewed. "We fixed the glitch"

Man if I ripped off two 75-yard TDs I would be insufferable. Asking for a little NIL isn't nearly close to egregious haha

Who are you calling Old Timers? I like Morris, and I would be really happy if we take one of the next two. We are getting better, and for once, we are really better.

Frustrating loss! Really felt like it was winnable through the 3rd quarter and then Memphis got smart and went back to the run. Still drinking the green flavorade this morning, Tulane almost shit the bed against Rice this weekend, we can get these guys at home.

This is why we moved to the AAC. We have to take advantage of this. What a golden opportunity.

Now that I know the outcome, I can rewatch the last few minutes….. breathing this time.

Just win. I don’t care what it looks like. 5-1 doesn’t happen around here very often. I’ll take it.

In the second half our defense gave up one touchdown after an interception put FAU on our 10 yard line and one field goal after an 18-yard drive. No other points. Part of the story of this incredible comeback win is that the defense rose up in the second half from astonishingly bad to almost average. And that was enough, thanks to the Mean Green playing 60 minutes of football when FAU called it quits after 58.

3/4ths of this board have definitely been blocked by an ex on instagram

Great article from DCTF on the Mean Green. Lots of detail on some of the plays from the FAU game. Well worth the read! https://www.texasfootball.com/article/2024/10/17/how-north-texas-built-the-g5-s-best-passing-attack?fbclid=IwY2xjawF-Wl9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHW2eBwpnLwZyztIAL8tdlq7qfOktSoFrNGykO6nixJ64Q-Ne8LFoPOsAUQ_aem_jc36aXzoWywsBoQq_DC_OQ

This will be three straight games on ESPN2 and five straight on linear television. Let's go and take advantage. I believe attendance will be greater for the Army game already across the board: alumni, students, opposing fans. I know we're pissed about the Tulane game but we've got an extra week to get the sour taste out. Going 2-2 on this Memphis/Tulane/Army/UTSA stretch would still be a lot better than last year's 0for on the Tulane/Memphis/UTSA/SMU gauntlet.

He has no right to be calling out fans when he hasn’t done his job well enough yet.

100% Agree!!! https://footballscoop.com/news/eric-morris-to-north-texas-fans-complaining-about-11-a-m-kick-get-over-yourself Great Quote - "People complaining about 11 o'clock, like, get over yourself. You can go back to the Southland Conference and pick when you want (to play). We don't get to pick it. You're playing, for the third or fourth time this year, a national TV game. Get over yourself, get up a little earlier, come tailgate and have fun, then go home and enjoy those late games on your couch."

Without player contracts i won't be donating to player salaries. I contribute my share already. Until it becomes a binding agreement and not an annual auction, I'll be staying away from NIL

They forced 7 punts, got the stop (FGA on a short field) to set up the offense for. a game-tying drive. Memphis was 38% on third down.

I just love countering the idea that the real ideal North Texas fan is a grown man who spends his Saturday night mad online bitching when we lose. If I don’t fall in line with that archetype then I’m enabling the mediocrity, something or another. I want Caponi gone too. Just pointing out some information that I think most fans are unaware of.

You put up 650 yards and 44 points, you win. Period. Unless you had the worst defense in football and did nothing about it. That's the lone exception.

If only we could have an AVERAGE defense...we'd be at the top of the American without fearing our next three games.

I didn’t realize UNT, a program with only 3 winning seasons over the last 19 years, could turn their noses up at a potential 8 win season.

I'm really not liking our CFP chances.

UH is 15th in the BigXII. That seem impossible.

I guess I'm crazy enough to think that the head coach making a million per year and the AD making high six figures with an empire of VPs under him should earn THEIR money. I don't get paid by the university to perform, they do. I grew tired of the "do your part to make us successful" speech in the RV days. North Texas has advantages other schools with less don't have and they figure it out. I'm sure we'll get a lecture from the AD when 18K (reported) show up to a half empty stadium on Saturday. But hey, 11K butts in seats is pretty good considering "A, B, C.....name your moral victory here." Let's use the standard for alumni and fans that we have to use for on field performance. Should've beaten Memphis. But you didn't. Call me when we're ranked, call me when we win 11 games....like UTSA has done recently. Do their alumni and fans give more than we do?

I said we forced 7 punts, got the stop we needed when we needed and held them to 38% on third down. There was plenty to *not* like and I tweeted and put in the MGN chat(s) all game -- we couldn't get home on the big pressures, we couldn't get to Seth H unless he held the ball for 6 seconds. We were always teetering -- one tackle away -- from allowing a big run. 49 got beat over the top on a huge TD. But I also think this defense has progressed from Absolute Garbage to Can Get A Stop. I think we are hyper focused on our defense and unwilling to see some progress. Consider that coming into this game plenty of people would have outright traded ours for theirs. Memphis' defense was talked about like they were championship worthy. From Silverfield, to Hennigan, to our own fanbase. Their 3-3-5 got sliced up for 653 yards, 32 first downs and 44 points. Oh and two 75-yard scores to start the game. In college football everyone gives up points. Even Georgia, who played so well last night, got killed by a 17-year old wideout. It happens. Can you get enough stops to give your offense a chance? Can you get the stop you need to have one last chance? Those are the most important things to me. They could have done much better, but I like that this defense is closer to an AAC title defense than it was last year.

There is no moral victory. We have the capability to beat this team if we come to play. No such thing as a moral victory IMO.

Lesson Traylor should have learned from Seth. Secure the bag when you can. UTSA is just seeing how volatile G5 “program building” is. It’s all about the QB. They benefited from it for a loooonnnggg time. Now they pay the piper.

I really hope when a player decides this they lose all access to facilities and are not able to be around the team during practice times of course. That may be the case already and if not it needs to be treated as an employee departure situation. No need to impact morale, distract focus or be around sensitive information. beat FAU GMG

I don't think that Sanger has a University.

We were there. We were all there. Joe Greene. Lizzie Greene. The Mean Green. Largest parade in school history. A game that featured two of the top quarterbacks in the nation. And a victory to top it all off. Fly Like An Eagle!

Was watching WFAA news at 10 last night and they had a whole segment on Mean Green's game this weekend. They talked about the bonfire and interviewed Morris and he said there was a little more "juice" in practice. I tried to find it on their website, but couldn't. I watch WFAA all the time and I will say they have been talking more about Mean Green in general.

He took a bag of money and barely has to play. He knew he wasn't going to get a look at the NFL anyway. I was salty after he left but E. Morris has proven that he upgraded the position with C. Morris.

I neither root for nor against the guy. Seeing as he is very unlikely to make an NFL roster, this was probably his last opportunity to make good money from football. He's had the opportunity to show what he can do playing for FBS teams, now he gets his "retirement plan," so to speak. I was very disappointed when he left, but it's hard to blame the guy. As @Shark84 mentions, I have been pleasantly surprised that we actually upgraded the position when he left. So it's a win for all parties concerned.
