Green Otaku

Agree, but I think that's just the tradeoff you pay for a guy like Scott. He's 100% every play, of every minute, and he doesn't know what it means to tone it down.

For those that didn't see the stat sheet:

I'm surprised by the lack of playing for Christian Moore. I thought he'd be worked a little bit more into the rotation this year, which he might be as we go on.

Will there be any broadcasts for this game?

IIRC they proposed a post-season tournament that would air on Fox that had the best left out teams of the Big12, B1G, and Big East. Ultimately it fell through, but I think this scared the NIT, as such a move would remove any type of importance it has. They are seeing that profitability and eyeballs are more important than competition.

Yes, it appeared to me that one of their linemen jumped before the line and that a flag would be thrown. Rogers thought it was going to be a free play. Caponi has to go. We can't expect to win playing out of a huge hole every game.

Interesting about the 2/3 thing. I thought ESPN and 2 were always packaged together.

Did you mean to say we were on ESPNU or ESPN2? Because we were definitely on ESPN2, which is the more widely available between those.

VCU would be a tremendous get. They are my preferred school of the talked about candidates. Also I assume the headline is a mistake and it should be "Olympic Sports Member" not "Basketball-only Member" ?

No chance they want to leave the Big East to join an AAC. They left one that had Houston, Cincy, and UCF. I don't see why they'd want to join now.

They have a separate tv deal for that specific game that brings in lots of money and eyeballs. It's important for both to keep that game.

I was excited to see how our ESPN2 outing went.... That's a pretty bad showing against ranked opponent. We've know about the fan apathy problem, but this along with the low donations during giving week show we are bottom of the barrel. It's just the harsh truth.

My own philosophy. Never drink the Koolaid, wait and see results so you can avoid swinging from one end of the spectrum to the other. This could be a turning point or we could crash out the rest of the season, time will tell. We are a middling team at the point, so until they show us something different on the field that's what we are.

The only valid critique we can make on recruiting is he had ample time to hit the transfer portal in the spring window and didn't. I'm hoping he goes for some big transfers this offseason.

What about the 5 game run to become bowl eligible and beating ranking UTSA?

350 Div 1 teams and we can't get a any of them to come play at UNT? I know I sound like a broken record on here, but we need to hold whoever is responsible for scheduling to a higher standard.

I'm sure it is. However we can't be so unique that other schools refuse to play us, and every other team I looked at had their schedule out weeks if not months ahead of ours.

Agree with what's been said here. The effort put in by the team in the 2nd half, as well as the mental fortitude to not give up was good to see. Lot's of improvement needed, but a good showing on national TV.

If the trend holds through the next 4 games I'd have a little more faith in the numbers. If we are being honest the first half of the schedule has been the easier half. Do the same to Tulane, Memphis, UTSA, SMU, and we'll be looking pretty good.

Disappointing, do those teams count for NET? What's worse is it took us until we were 8 days away from opening the season to get it done.

It would be interesting to see, although I'd think the data would be skewed to today because the athletic ability has gotten better over the years.

Good question. I'm not sure if there is an official rule, but I would think it would be beneficial to your quarterback to have contrasting colors.

Tulane is probably wearing white helmets.

I'm curious as to why there is no internal candidates in place that have a chance to move up. Is there no assistant directors or others that could have taken over?

12 day window for TV, so we should know by Wednesday.
