  1. Sorry, but anyone saying that the Super Pit is fine, doesn't understand the college sports arms race, or the future of our basketball program now.
  2. This was my reaction as well. Oklahoma pointed out the weaknesses in our game. We get intimidated at the rim and sometimes as a result of struggling there settle for 3s which can lead to empty possessions when they aren't good looks, and that's how 8-0 runs happen.
  3. I wonder if the athletic dept. is going to send out a graphic and post it on the socials at the end of this, showing what the value of all of this publicity was in marketing dollars, the increase in traffic to their website after Littrell stays was etc.?
  4. I bet you're right, just have to get Rose's legs back. See my comment above 🙂
  5. You know who is a nobody? Anybody that says somebody is a nobody.
  6. This and more specifically, it made the whole team focus again because they knew it wasn't going to be easy.
  7. This. Harry you crazy if you're giving Benford credit for anything man.
  8. The warmer game but not by much. The fact that people think our fans are soft is funny. No, the problem is we don't have many fans. I define fans as ticket holders. Everyone else jumps on and off the band wagon depending on the hype. 8-2 or 7-3 but nothing on the line makes no difference in buzz. That ship sailed this year.
  9. Disagree. As others have said of those 30K we had earlier in the season how many watched the ODU game? Not many i'd bet. That game affects the season ticket holders/this board and that's about it. And most of those people will go regardless. You are correct on the main factor. CBS Sports TV games are not worth it, and certainly not at that day/time.
  10. Never said my group won't be there. We are all making arrangements to be there. The point is (and what I wrote was) it's annoying that this game is on a Thursday and more so that is starts late. Pretty sure by you and most others getting defensive about even pointing this out, that you agree. We'll be there and it will be fun like always while we are there.
  11. No one in my group is excited about this game day or time. Unless you are retired or a kid this is not good day or time for either. If the stars had aligned and this was some kind of game for the conference lead, then it would have been more anticipated but as it is now, the day and time are annoying.
  12. If we want to be a championship program, we have to show up in any weather. But when we do, they will still not be prepared for it.
  13. Hmm, do you think cinnamon would take over? I guess it's possible considering the investment in the program. Maybe even nutmeg?
  14. How much longer will we have Pumpkin Spice options for everything. Question, no info.
  15. Surprised this post hasn't gotten more comments (or maybe I shouldn't be). Many of the arguments are black and white, but the real nuance is missed. This post hits on it as well as what @Harry said on the latest pod. This season has done more for our football profile than McCarneys one season or any of those Dickey seasons. There has been so much good pub and then as Harry said people look at the record and think wow UNT is having a great season. Must be something good going on there. Couple that with the rest of the university support and the future looks different (potentially) than all those other successes. Again, credit to Harry when saying the real urgency I feel is that we have a once in a lifetime QB in Fine, so each missed opportunity hurts more. Winning conference championships and bowl games matter to the die hards but, for the program to have real growth, this season has already planted those seeds no matter what happens from here on out.
  16. Haven't seen it mentioned (maybe it was) but one of the coaching choices made in the game that really backfired was the short kick after we went up 14-3 that UAB returned big. It really brought life back to them, and they scored right after. They were about to get run like last year but we let them back in. Sometimes a Special Teams coach who only has that responsibility just overthinks things. Just kick it into the end one all game like UAB did.
  17. I keep seeing these references to how this year team is a "special" team while many others say be patient and defending how this season has gone sour because 6-2. It's possible to recognize how the program overall has improved, but also note that we still haven't won anything (Conference Title or Bowl Game) with a coach is his 3rd season and be disappointed in that.
  18. Will we have any low post game? Team would be unstoppable with a Jess Ratliff type player on it.
  19. That math check out. Source: New SERVPRO Bowl
  20. Wrens message was fine, it's the timing that is off. If the temperature was anywhere from 60 to 100 with no threat of rain and say 18-20K showed up ok, better time to say something. Also, to the argument of winning, this coaching staff still hasn't won a conference championship or a bowl game, so ease up on the championship program rant.
  21. It started with them making up the term G5 which isn't a real thing, and then having the people that were labeled in the G5 use and accept it as a real thing.
  22. They've had Nike replicas before, but not very many people bought them.
