[Why does the DFW media act like SMU belongs in a Power Conference?]

I don’t get it either. ESPN had an article about them and they referred To SMU “returning to their glory days” and then immediately talk about those glory days being the early 80’s. And what always amazed me is the SMU people that also refer to 1982 with such warm memories. It completely destroyed their program and should be a shameful, embarrassing  time in their history. But they’re actually proud of it. 
 

Ironically, imbedded in the ESPN story was a link to “Pony Excess”. 
 

mind boggling…..

[Rangers '23]

If you had told me on July 31st that the Rangers would not make the playoffs this season, I would've said you're crazy.

What a melt down.

[Coach O is Keeping Receipts...]

Interesting take.  What results make you say that recruiting has improved?  We looked very slow and unathletic on the field Saturday against what should be mediocre competition.  Were we holding our good recruits for later in the season?

I'd be curious about this too. No one knows that coach O is a good recruiter yet. So far he's just active on twitter. Let's see results before we claim how great Coach O is. Us wanting him to be a good recruiter doesn't mean he is a good recruiter.

I wasn't offended by his "receipts" comment. I was embarrassed....for our university.

Imagine someone looking at that tweet that's not associated with UNT. They have to be thinking "LMAO....they get blown out and aren't even competitive and this clown gets on twitter and starts talking noise. YIKES."

I don't think the fans need to calm down.....seems like Coach O needs to calm down. And you know.....do his job better. I just thought is was embarrassing and made UNT look bad.

 

[Coach O is Keeping Receipts...]

“Keeping receipts”

😂😂😂

Don’t be a clown. Don’t act like you want to win here more than any of us want you to win here. The name of the school on your pay stubs is the name of the school on our diploma(s) which WE paid for. 
 

There’s not one person who went to North Texas that would be upset if you said “see told you we would win championships” because we were here before you got here and we’ll be here after you leave. Same goes for our highly paid VP/Executive/Chief/Senior/ Director of Athletics  

Not sure who you’re fighting but it ain’t us. You Gotta be kidding me. GTFO with that crap. 
 

Go do your damn job. Pretty simple. 
 

Sh*t, that is F’ing crazy. He should be embarrassed. Gets blown out and then wants to start fighting.

The timing of this sounds like he’s saying that anyone complaining about yesterday’s performance is not “people that want to see you succeed.”    

Reality check:  Most of us have “The University of North Texas”, or “North Texas State University” written on our diplomas, & only wish for “his” success because he’s employed by our Alma Mater.    
Ultimately, we could give 2 💩💩 about his success.  We want The University of North Texas to succeed!

If he’s only surrounding himself with people who are saying positive things & making excuses today, then we should expect more of the same.

Very disappointing tweet from him.

Well said

I mean holy crap. I can’t take another AD  with this “it’s the alumni and fans job to to their part, don’t worry about our performance.” For crying out loud this is the 3rd one of these in a row. I’m not going to be lectured by another AD. This attitude is why I STOPPED donating and told them to stick their club seats. And I’m not the only one. How can they be so full of themselves  

How about let’s don’t get blown out again. Let’s maybe do that. 

[Coach O is Keeping Receipts...]

My receipt says that staff got embarrassed yesterday in every possible way. 
 

I truly hope he can pull those receipts. I can promise him I love this university more than he does. So do your job 

[FIU point spread]

Dang. We’re -14 on the road.

That is fine. You do you. But it is a lot of hot air and energy to do literally nothing. 

Personally, if I was as mad as others are, donate and attend like I do, and have the football iq they have (being serious) I'd say or do something about it. 

But it is pretty clear to expect the same product next time if you say nothing to the people who provided it. 

I understand being upset, but this is a little ridiculous imo. 

I stopped being mad about this football program a long time ago 

[Where do we go from here?]

If they win I’m gonna be happy and support the team. 
 

if they lose I’m gonna piss and moan and support the team. 
 

How’s that?

The game was the game, but the game day experience was MUCH improved.  He’s listening and making changes. This is what he should be doing. 

I’ll give that point. That DOES mean something. 

[This Honeymoon just got shorter]

I’m not talking about Eric Morris. I’m talking about Jared Mosley. 
 

Before I get the “it’s one game” I KNOW IT’S ONLY ONE GAME. And no I’m not saying FIRE JARED MOSLEY!” That’s dumb. And I know he can’t coach

BUT ultimately he is in charge of all things athletics for UNT. Again, I know it’s one game, but if that wasn’t 73 points to OU bad it was close….EVERYTHING went wrong yesterday and I don’t know how you make our defense grow in one week  

Morris is Mosely’s hire. He’s responsible. He has to be held to the same standard that ADs before him were. (Or should’ve been) I’ll give him a little bit of a break since our last AD that no one was allowed to criticize hauled ass and didn’t want to deal with our last football coach. But the Buck now stops with Mosley. If Morris crashes and burns, that’s on the current AD. 
 

Still a lot of football left…..but I’d be a little nervous if I were the AD. We come back from FIU 0-2 and Datcu Stadium will be empty for the rest of the season….this game is actually really important  

When are we starting that fancy new weight room? We got the money yet? 

 

[If ever there was a perfect team]

Truth 

 

on the flip side…..oof I don’t want to think about what happens if it doesn’t go well. Week 2 vs a bad FIU team is all the sudden super important for Morris.

If we don’t fix it this week:

 

[What if Seth really was a good coach?]

If Seth really was a good coach wouldn’t he have won more games?

I've changed my mind.  After watching this game today, I don't think I want to play Army any time soon.

Oh man. What’s the record for rushing yards in a game…..

[Poll: who did we hire?]

The obvious answer to the original question is Todd Dodge because of the defensive performance. However it was also very Seth Littrell because we played a team that wasn’t FCS or a bottom 10 team. And when Littrell played anyone but those teams not only did he never win but he always got blown out.  
 

So we got a little bit of BOTH today. 2 for 1. Sweet.

Kinne was hired by TX State on Dec 2nd. Seth was fired on Dec 4th.

But how was the language on the sidelines. 

[Cal Loss GIF-only reactions MEGA THREAD]

[Meanwhile in Waco]

Isn’t this GJ Kinne’s first year in San Marcos? Was he available for us? Did we interview him? 

[Our Defense is TERRIBLE!!!]

I’ve been following this program for a long time. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a defense so teeny tiny. How is a defense this small supposed to compete. Why would anyone do anything but just line up and run over that defense. You can’t put a scheme in place to make up for a defense  full of 5’10” 190 lb players. And Booger Kennedy was in the stadium today but he sure wasn’t on the field. 
 

 

[Poll: who did we hire?]

If you didn’t get a Todd Dodge vibe from this game then you didn’t watch Todd Dodge here. 
 

That was Todd Dodge 2.0

If Oregon St and Washington St are watching these two AAC games tonight I’m sure they’ve concluded they want no part of the AAC. And wait until Saturday at DATCU with the heat.  

It won’t take long for the AAC to fall to the bottom of P5’s or whatever it’s called now. 
 

If we don’t care enough to fill our stadiums no one else will care either  

 

Ok I may calm down a little there…..

I think we’ll draw better than UAB appears to have drawn in Dilfer’s debut but to say we’ll fall to the bottom of the P5s is a bit much since we already are technically at the bottom of the P5s.  But we’ll still be ahead the rest of the non P5s which won’t draw either….

My point was Dilfer at UAB is ALL hype and even then, the hype didn’t bring fans out to his first game. I think he’s a joke of a hire…..we’ll see how that unfolds. 

[UAB]

Crowd looks horrible. All the Dilfer hype, new conference, new stadium, weather not an issue….

Not a good look 

Hope Datcu can overcome the heat Saturday. 

[ACC SMU STANFORD CAL]

I’ve been on this board for a long, long time. And I’ve seriously given a down vote probably less than 10 times in all those years. I’m not a big down vote guy…..and then you come in here and post that…..

 

That’s your fault.
