  1. My son spotted Rico walking around the stadium and asked him to autograph his helmet. He laughed and and signed it next to MF's signature from earlier this season. I think it's cool these guys will do this sort of things for fans willingly, especially the younger ones. GMG

  2. La Tech beat Southern Miss today 45 - 30. If North Texas wins its remaining games, including the November 9 game against La Tech in Ruston, the Mean Green are guaranteed to be CUSA Western Division Champions. La Tech and Southern Miss could still be CUSA Co-Champions with North Texas if they also win out in remaining games not against UNT, but La Tech has to play at Marshall on 11/15 and Southern Miss has to deal with east leading WKU and FAU in its last two games. This can still turn out to be quite a season.

  4. Yep. If we want the stands full, don’t get plastered in Dallas by SMU with half a stadium of green and turn around and get railroaded by UH with their backup QB in front of the largest home crowd in UNT history.

  6. Keep this in mind. In my 48 years of following UNT football it’s only truly been about 4 years since the Administration under Dr. Smatresk along with the Board made an honest, sincere and legit commitment to Athletics at UNT. We have witnessed two crowds over 30,000 at our on campus stadium. Over 11,000 students at one game. An incredible IPF. The salary of the head football coach being the highest in the conference and near the top in the G5. (Open for discussion concerning the wisdom here) Anyway, what I’m saying is though we have been playing Football for 100 years we might say we are relatively a new program. Keeping that in mind think what we have accomplished in the last four years and what we are truly capable of achieving if we put our minds and talents together.

  8. It's true. Lose games that matter to your fan base in blowout fashion, don't expect good attendance vs the likes of MTSU.

  10. I will be in attendance. I also have two additional tickets as my other two partners-in-crime are not able to make it. If anyone is interested in those tickets please reach out to me. It is in the B-204 region row 1 seat 2 and 3. Sadly, I will be in seat 1 so you will have to sit next to me (in theory). My goal is to make it to EVERY home game this year and support my alma mater and damn it I am sticking to it. Even as this year's team drives me crazy and up a wall... I want to hopefully witness a second half fight and see what this team is made of with a strong finish. If not, then at least I gave it my all as a fan. I agree with the majority of everyone on this board on expectations, letdowns, coaching, schemes, decision-makings, executions (or lack of), and accountability. I am also frustrated, disappointed, and thinking "WTF" on some of the decision-makings and performances that occurred on the field. My mind is as boggled as everyone else in the Mean Green nation as this was "not how it was suppose to be". On the other side of the coin, this team also gave me a lot to cheer about these past three years before this season began. Those guys, especially the seniors, deserve my support and effort to cheer them on to the end of the season as a "thank you". I will choose to live in the present today, solo, on a lawn chair, beer in hand, under a tree, and facing Apogee stadium in orange parking happily debating to myself on which team will show up today versus Middle Tennessee. A piece of humble pie will remind me to appreciate today as there is no better place than now compared to the experience I witnessed the hours before, during, and after Portland State. That in itself is something to appreciate and be happy about on where we are at now. I am in no way minimizing or erasing this year's expectations or my mixed feelings toward how I thought this year should have gone but I need to find a positive somewhere. Have a great Saturday Mean Green nation! Go Mean Green!!!

  11. Is there anywhere to catch a replay of the game? Second half to be specific. I had a birthday dinner to attend and missed the second half. I was following on ESPN Gamecast until I got busted by my wife.

  12. Could not disagree more. This is one of the least entitled fan bases you’ll run across. For most of UNT’s history, we’ve been pretty horrid. It’s fairly remarkable we’ve amassed the fan base we have given our ridiculous administrative decisions and inept output on the field. Our fan base is filled with masochists when you really think about it. Now if you wanna say the casuals are fickle because everyone is starved for a level of consistent success, I’d agree.

  15. I’m not sure what correlation you’re trying to make here. They are the Crimson Tide and use an elephant as a mascot. We are the Mean Green and use an eagle. You can add Stanford Cardinal and their tree to the list too. All similar situations. Except that they know what they are. I don’t see Alabama or Stanford running out any alternate mascots... not that I’m paying much attention to their programs.

  17. Middle Tennessee is a good team that was fighting for its life today. Sure they were 2 -4 but those losses were against Michigan, Iowa, Duke, and at Florida Atlantic. I doubt we would have gone undefeated through those four either. *** by the Down Votes at least two people disagree and think we would have gone undefeated against Michigan, Iowa, Duke, and at Florida Atlantic. Darned optimists ***

  19. I down for this team no matter what but after the game I saw there is no amount of green kool-aid for me to drink to even remotely think that is a possibility. We got really lucky tonight but hey a win is a win. On to the next!

  20. With our “no penetration 3 man DL” & poor tackling D winning out is a pipe dream unless........there is further, dramatic development with our Defense. We have to have more 4 man DL than we do & do more blitzing when we have 3 on the DL. GMG!

  23. I thought all scores are automatically reviewed? On the muts third TD Which tied it at 23,...the ball carrier clearly stepped out at the 2,...no review. Or was it just overlooked? Side line judge is looking right at it but his view may have been blocked. The tv announcers caught it and questioned this as well. Should have been third and goal. Rick

  24. Damn these Debbie Downers and Murderers of Joy. Simple facts: These were two 2-4 G5 level teams, and the game was being played early on Saturday. Students have shown they'll show well for night games, even if its a weeknight game. Staring into the sun for 3 hours is a beating. Alumni have shown that they wont go to early games until late in the season. There are just too many other daytime obligations. So, fewer students were drawn to this game, and considering the records of the competitors, few single game tickets were sold. And There You Have It

  27. His recruiting thread is posted above. He’s a receiver listed on our roster at 6’2” 216 lbs, so he has prototypical size for an outside receiver and very good high school tape. He also had one of the most impressive list of offers for any player we have signed in some time. Offers included Utah, Kansas, Indiana, and Texas Tech.

  28. Attendance talk should be limited to only people that actually go to the games. Attendance is directly tied to weather, record and opponent. Weather was perfect, the other two elements were severely lacking.

  30. 6. The emergence of some of our young or inexperienced WR’s. Shorter continues to grow, Greg White contributed and Austin Ogunmakin had a couple of key catches. Feeling better about this group and love Darden and Lawrence and their leadership of this group.

  32. Yuppp. As weird as this sounds, this fan base is entitled. “We won 9 games the last 2 years. If we don’t at least win a bowl and get in the top 25 I’m selling my club seats!” Progress isn’t linear. Sometimes it takes awkward bumps and bruises.

  33. hahaha a mascot outfit that has zero effect on you or the football team is what pushes you over the line? 😂 thats so sad, shows the type of fans we have. You would think a horrible Oline getting our QB killed or horrible playcalling might. But no a mascot suit does 😂

  35. If this thing becomes a part of our regular Gameday in any way official, I’m out...I’ve put up with so much shit from this place for decades. But this would be the line too far...minus 1 all you want, but that thing is Stupid to even try and relate to the North Texas Mean Green Eagles.

  37. I’m sorry y’all, I had no idea this was coming when I mentioned it earlier this week... but yeah, that thing can go. Not a fan of two mascots at once unless there’s a female Eagle mascot to go with Scrappy, but we all know in today’s world that simply cannot happen anymore.

  39. The Athletic Department scheduled a 3:00 kickoff to help keep attendance figure low. Or maybe they did it to accommodate the all-important Facebook TV schedule. Either way, they got the expected result.

  44. And a Big 12 TCU has laid a few rotten eggs in the stands even with a Big 12 opponent. There are a few ACS photos floating around of that for proof, too. One thing SMU & TCU will never do is have 11,209 students at any game as North Texas did a few short weeks ago. (Obviously, since their enrollments are around 10K at each campus). • Ignoring this forum’s propensity to dwell on mostly the negative (while seemingly enjoying it); as well as kicking our Athletic program in the scrotum at the drop of any balls; well. we do have things we can build on in Denton. Still...in a major league sports market like the North Texas Metroplex ➡️ YOU HAVE TO HAVE WINNING SEASONS “EVERY SEASON” & YOU MUST BEAT A FEW P5 KNOWN ENTITIES EVER SO OFTEN, TOO. If we get back on the roller coaster of the last 50 years then problems will persist. GMG!
