Norm's about to talk about it. Today is college football coverage on the Ticket....we're gonna hear about it on every show.

I agree with this. If people quit thinking backwards......and start looking forwards....your point is spot on. On a football program scale of 1-100, we're at 19 right now, up from years at 7

Spread is moving down... Opened at UNT -14 it's down to -13.5

Bowling Green and Ball State are no where near UNT in any conceivable comparison UCF....perhaps is comparable. Big school in a good location. Then Scott Frost's alma mater came available. Look, I'm not trying to convince anyone that Seth Littrell is going to retire here. What I am saying is it is NOT a slam dunk that he's gone next year or the immediate years after.... This IS a good job. It pays VERY well. The administration is 100% behind it. The head coach is getting everything he wants. It's in a great location. It's growing. Fund raising is breaking records. There is an infrastructure and foundation in place here that is just starting to come out of the ground. There aren't too many more exciting situations in the country......that's all I'm saying. There is a lag in perception of this program. the outside perception is going on old information....that's why "no way Littrell hangs around" is so prevalent

I'm telling you.....Chad Morris is going to leave that place worse than he found it. Jerry Jones runs the Razorbacks like he runs the Cowboys.

I hear you... I guess it would boil down to fit and more importantly if he and his family want that. No one knows that but Littrell and his family. I'll say this....if the TTech job opens, is offered and he does turn it down....its safe to say he could be here for a while.

It's a shame though....especially hearing the amount of work, practice, film study that went into it. UNT so outclassed and outsmarted Arkansas here.

Thanks Tennessee is 1 of 15 jobs in the nation on that level? Everyone not with a job at one of those 15 or so jobs is going to look into it. TTech is not one of those jobs.

That's the whole point. He very well could be here for a long time until that perfect job opens up. He doesn't have to jump on the first thing that comes up (uh...because he didn't) I'm sick of hearing how "UNT is so small time and people come here just to move up." I'm also sick of hearing that from people that have an extremely small knowledge of UNT. Like it is a foregone conclusion and guaranteed that Littrell will be gone next year. I just don't believe that. "Where will LIttrell be next year?" "Someone will pay him big money next year." "Oh...Littrell won't be here next year" He's making big money now. Ask anyone that doesn't follow North Texas football but follow another team. "What do you think Littrell is making at UNT?" I bet they say.....$500K?" I bet most have no idea he's making $1.5 mil. I told someone that and they couldn't believe it. - "What?!" was their reaction. He's getting everything he wants here His family loves it here He's close to home I'm not naive here....but he can sit back for several years if he wants (Like a Chris Peterson) and wait for the perfect job....assuming he wants to leave at all.

He looks so far out of his league.... I never understood that hire.

you have a link for the confirmed rumor about Tennessee?

(no, I'm not going to divulge who those programs were).

Vito had it in a story. He turned down 2 opportunities. One a P5

Wow....a P5 did it up big in two games....one blowing out an FCS team. Both at home. No consideration for changing the rule What a freaking joke

He's already turned down P5 opportunities

They just did a college football segment....it sounds like they're going to do a segment on UNT and the fake punt around 8:15

The nature of the play would make sure it’s never done again anyway. The surprise is gone. No one will be able to do that play again. The rule change is just a formality.

Plus I went back and watched some of the Arkansas game. They are a complete train wreck. They’re horrible. Now....we beat the snot out of them like we should’ve beat such a poor team....but that thing is a mess. The Liberty QB is the best QB we will have faced so far this season. We need to be focused.

One concern I do have.... Surely he’s going to begin getting asked about this eventually....especially after Saturday It happens every year to successful G5’s. Especially as the season goes on. It CAN be a distraction. Recruits are going to start asking about it too.

1. Arkansas 2. UIW 3. Practice squad 4. Green Brigade 5. Littrell’s dance teacher 6. Team cookies 7. The rain 8. Basketball Team 9. SMU

Joey Galloway LOVED it on College Football Live. Called it the play of the year. Greg McElroy (who I find super annoying) said it was a horrible play and that we were blowing out Arkansas and that it wasn’t necessary. Gee....I wonder if he actually knew anything about the game and that it was early on when we did. He looked really foolish.

This game is also really important from a perception \ momentum standpoint. I wish we were at home this week to capitalize on the momentum from Arkansas....but we're not. And if we go out and lay an egg at Liberty...we could do harm to what we have going. A loss obviously would be a disaster....but if we go out and play sloppy and look bad....it won't help either. We have to be focused and go out and dominate this game. I hope Liberty has their attention

Gives some thoughts on Seth Littrell's future....

Agree....this will be by far the best offense we have faced and they'll be fired up. I'm ready to get the Arkansas game behind us and I hope the coaches and player are too...

It was on College Football Live and it’s coming up on PTI It’s been all over the place today.
