This is how a Tre Siggers goes from being a potential superstar at an FBS school to a school that kicks him to the curb as soon as a better deal comes along to a little FCS school where he’ll eventually never be heard of again.
It’s just the truth. Goes both ways. It’s gonna get worse and the players will end up in worse shape long term. Be careful what you ask for. You want to use the system great but the system will eventually use you.

For all of us worried about building a fanbase and increasing attendance, let me ask this. How much harder will it be now with players coming and going? If your teams have no loyalty to the school, why should fans, and worse other students?
I don’t think we’re going through anything other schools aren’t going through.
I have loyalty to NT. Coaches have to navigate this new world and make the best of it. Hopefully they win

Everything is changed. Rooting has changed. Can’t get connected to any player anymore. I loved my boys when they were little saying “Mason Fine is the best QB ever” and I loved Patrick Cobbs and Booger Kennedy and had a connection to them.
Those days are gone. I can’t even follow recruiting anymore. What difference does it make.
When the first game happens in early September, I’ll root for the 22 out there in our uniform. Who cares who the individuals are. it goes both ways. Shorter, Nixon…..I can’t really care about you as people. I mean I hope you find what you’re looking for. But don’t care about you….anymore than I care for any other college player that plays anywhere but Denton. I root for North Texas.
kind of sad but that’s where we are. Gotta adjust what it means to be a fan.

Man, you can see what is headed UTSA's way and it could be ugly. They seem to be a house of cards....they seriously have to keep winning 10+ games every year in football to keep what little credibility they have. What happens if they have back to back 6 win seasons? What if Traylor turns out to be a bust? They can't afford to buy him out.
If there are 10 possible outcomes for UTSA in the coming years, it seems 8 of them are bad. What a risky situation.
UTSA is like a college athletics ponzi scheme....the crash is gonna be painful.

I learned from the Seth Littrell contract extension. UTSA did not. Others won’t either.
I will always ALWAYS look through the prism of “who did they beat” from now on when it comes to thinking we should extend a coach or not. Same will go for Morris, Hodge, etc.
If a coach can parlay beating up mediocre teams into P5 offers. Good luck to them. Littrell would’ve more than likely already been fired by KState and probably be an offensive analyst at OU by now.

To say "yeah let's do this" we would have to believe that all the "the city of Denton doesn't care about UNT" is BS.
If it is....
Then we have to decide if moving the basketball team to play off campus is a good thing or not.
If it is....
Then I say sure, go for it.

If you look on the UNT website for donations, there's a link to donate for the athletic center.
Jared Mosley wanted to expand the athletic center just as much as Wren
Well then Jared Mosley needs to figure it out. We’ve been talking about this forever. They gonna start construction or not? And don’t give me the RV “if y’all would just donate, we can do some things”
he has the big job….get it done

Schools have taken NIL to mean pay our players a salary when it was supposed to just provide them with funds when the school marketed their name, image and likeness or allowing the student athlete to do the same with an outside entity.
It is amazing how fast they completely skipped over the meaning of "NIL" and went immediately to where everyone assumed it would go eventually.

Athletic center expansion comes before ANYTHING else.... Our current standing is pathetic when compared to fellow AAC members
It was made clear by Wren Baker that all the "wants" would have to wait and that the athletic center/weight room expansion is A#1 on the list of priorities.
When can we expect this work to begin?

Well, it's a bit weird to make a video about team and not include the architect in the victory celebration.
They did included the architect...
Hodge was in the video

I'll add....if he wins the AAC this year and say he goes 10-2...he's going to rebuild next season with a new QB (I think Harris is out of eligibility.....maybe he'll get a 12th year I don't know)
But say he has a good year this year and P5 comes calling, I would think he has a hard time saying no. What is his buyout?

Traylor is doing a great job of greasing the exit skids.
You sign the big deal then you add the “I was told they would keep investing in the program”
Smart move on his part
He gets to have it both ways now. Big money. Put the program in trouble because they’re paying you so much money….then set the school up to blame when you leave. Hey it won’t be Traylor’s fault. UTSA didn’t hold up their end of the bargain.
what are they going to do if they go 6-6 in 2 years. Always a possibility. Those eggs in that basket are gonna get heavy.

How about that thank you from Seth as he left? Oh wait, we are still waiting for that.
Nothing against Seth, but compared to Grant McCasland, Seth couldn’t hold his jock strap….

I met him at a coaches caravan. This was a few weeks before the team was going to Florence for that summer exhibition they played in. I told him about a sandwich place in Florence that was really good. He asked what the name was, so I showed him a pic of the place. He took a picture of the picture on my phone. I don't know if they went, but it was cool that he actually seemed interested in conversing with the fans.
Man I remember thinking: “That’s how a coach is supposed to connect with fans and alumni”

Quick story. Right after he was hired….there was a coaches caravan in Rockwall. I took my boys. They were probably 5 and 3? This unassuming guy walks over and introduces himself and starts talking to my kids. Most people were there to see the football coach.
I talked to him for a little bit. I just knew he was the new bball coach but coming off the Benford mess I hadn’t given bball much thought….
He was so friendly and nice to my kids.
lesson for everyone…..(and a big regret for me)
Get a pic with any new coach and your kids when that opportunity arises. You never know if they’ll be the best coach of that sport in your schools history….

This was about as good of a handoff as can happen. Some of these coaching changes in the past have been disasters.
If after what happened last night you are losing your shit today….you have a serious glass half-empty issue.
I don't think we've ever had an "our coach is leaving" go as well as this one has.

Breaking News: Jyaire Shorter and Larry Nixon Both Enter Transfer Portal

I hate to agree here but he’s right.
the P5 back up to G5 should be a no brainer. The G5 starter to P5 doesn’t seem like it works out for the player.
