  1. Not making ANY excuses for Morris, but the Cal team that lost 8 games last season is not the same Cal team we played…FIU, well no explanation for that one
  2. I know this is hard to hear…but needs to he heard. We simply cannot bitch, moan, and complain about how we aren’t at the level of programs we wish to emulate…and then cling to the “I’ll give/buy tickets/attend when (fill in the blank) happens” mantra. Giving/buying tickets/etc. makes you a share holder…find me the business that doesn’t listen exclusively to shareholders
  3. Given what we've seen in the way of coaching the past four hires, this may be the only path forward. And, strangely, those "lowly" schools Dickey rattled off 26 straight conference wins against (a feat not matched since) would likely run us off the field right now.
  4. This thread is ridiculous. We have stacked conference titles and bowl wins since he left and completely abandoned black jerseys.
  5. La Tech - 42 (If Rogers starts), 56 (If Earle starts) NT - 30 (if Rogers starts), 17 (If Earle starts)
  6. Apparently Stone Earle transferred to FIU in the portal
  7. Tying this whole thread together, I hope we’re the dude in the gold chain and FIU is the blonde guy today.
  8. Might have something to do with this… https://athlonsports.com/college-football/the-mountain-west-looking-to-take-the-mantle-of-the-pac-12
  9. Both would be quality basketball adds, but Dayton would be my preference
  10. Careful, you’ll draw out the following Pavlovian responses: - The Sun Belt was made up of 2A high schools - Dickey said “mf’ers” once - We wore black jerseys from Academy once What will be conveniently omitted from the comparisons between Dickey and any of his successors will be the facilities he recruited to and played in, the coaching staff salaries he had to work with, the athletic budget we had at the time, or the pesky fact that NOBODY in any league was winning 27 straight conference games. To prove how serious we were about moving on from the horrors of Dickey…we hired Todd Dodge and let him go 6-37 over four years.
  11. What exactly was disingenuous about what I asked? It was an honest question. There is a BIG difference between being upset about current performance and being a fatalist. If I tell my daughter “your current performance in math is horrible and well below my expectations” that is one thing…but if I say to her “I don’t know why I expected better, you’ve always been an academic doormat. It is what it is. You are stupid” then that is totally different. And when I asked “why are you here?” I wasn’t hoping for you to give up your North Texas fandom (so chill out @NorthTexasWeLove, I’m not trying to run off one of the “11 fans”). I was asking why you bother to come on a North Texas fan board to be a defeatist ALL. THE. TIME. when there are so many things in life you could be doing that might bring you joy.
  12. Honest question, why are you here? I don't mean this sarcastically, I'm genuinely asking why you continue to engage in something (North Texas football) that clearly causes you so much stress and negativity.
  13. Can we please change the thread title since it's, you know, not true?
  14. Did this kid watch the Cal game and reconsider?
  15. We honestly don’t know anything about Cal, other than the fact they beat us badly. With the transfer portal, very few teams can be judged by who they were a year ago
  16. This was actually pre-planned, as part of their admission agreement SMU agreed not to have a crowd for the first 9 years
  17. If Morris wants to do what he promised on the postgame and turn things around…and he needs to fix literally everything but the kickoff return team…there may not be a better FBS team in the country to do it against than these guys:
  18. I’d like to say I’m very upset with my son (who is 9) for not taking the captain of Argyle High School’s cheerleading team to prom last year. I mean, he DIDN’T EVEN TRY!!
  19. I remember a recent thread about who should replace SMU in the AAC when they leave…and some looked down their noses as Texas State as an option. They’re currently up 42-24 at Baylor…maybe we should reserve our disdain until we are capable of beating them??
