Just drawing parallels. Sure, I will start a new thread in football just to reference this thread. 🙄

This only applies to football.

I wouldn't be opposed to just modernizing it. Add newer and better video and stats boards, new seats, just a facelift.

I agree with this. Hodge loves the DFW metroplex and would love to stay here I think. Let's make him our Bill Self. If those seats were just a little wider......VERY annoying for someone that is 6'4". I know why most people don't stand up to cheer, they are stuck in their seats.

Memphis loses to Temple. Crazy, The top is getting packed and Temple looked good.

That is why it is so fun!!

Wow, there is no real clear separation yet outside Charlotte, ECU, and Wichita St.

Hahaha, my brain was working faster than my fingers I guess. No idea what I was saying.

Is it just me or has our FT shooting improved? Especially when we make them. Most of them came in the 2nd half for this game and even late it seemed like we were being pretty clutch. In college, thats something to be proud of.

I think that's the whole complaint. We need fans that love their school enough that they show up because North Texas is playing. Period.

I assume it was posted when we were 5-1 in football.

He is this team's Thomas Bell. Those types of players just have a high basketball IQ and do a lot of the glue type stuff. Just all around utility guy.

I don't expect this game to be easy. Away games are already hard enough, but ECU has played some teams close.

I hate agreeing with you, but you are right. I talk about it all the time on here, but then the people that feel this way get blasted for being "negative".

For Alumni, I think this is really issue #1. I know they can't dictate the schedule because of TV deals, but if you think about alum in DFW, even if a game starts at 7 or 8, that means leaving right as it is rush hour. If a person just got off work and dealt with that traffic once, they aren't going to do it again. I feel like it is a logistical issue. None of that exists for Football.

THANK YOU! That comment that people make doesn't make sense due to the reasons you said. I was going to say it if you didn't. Maybe he should stick with football.....

Great game! Would have loved to have seen Vice.

Someone else said it best. If you are outside the P4, it's just a patch on the jersey when it comes to talent level. The main differences are the media allocations and exposure, but if we don't get our sh*t together quickly, I don't see AAC getting near the deal they got last time.

Exactly, isn't that the point of the forum? To express all parts of the equation? Mechanical and otherwise. Sometimes it can just be an outlet valve for those who feel the same way. Second part I agree with. I am not one of those complaining about the moves of the AD. IMO, jury is still out on Morris, but most of the jurors are swaying the wrong way as of today. Next year is make or break for me. Getting to a conference championship is minimum.

You can analyze every game to see where you can improve, and that happens on here and of course in the coaching room. As does with all other teams. I think the frustration point is that the "figuring out how to get real victories" hasn't happened. That's the whole point of the moral victory conversation. I love the story about Drew doing what he did. It was amazing and got us great national coverage, but just like the year we did the return heard round the world against Arkansas, what happened after that? It's one of those things that when you have been a fan for 20 years, you stop looking at these little things that happen that don't mean a ton in the grand scheme of things. If this was my first 5 years following this program, I might be over the moon about the DC hire and what MIGHT happen based on what I see on paper, but I have been burned too many times that way with this program. Not to mention, it happened a year too late. I really don't like being so negative about my team, but I hate the feeling of letdown way more.

There have been several on here talking about it, like you, I don't feel like searching and pasting. I do agree that 6 wins in a better conference is not the same as 6 wins in a lower conference. I think the major complaint is that we have now had 2 years with similar results as the lower conference and I think the frustration is that we are just maintaining without a true drive to be the best of the conference. I get it's hard, and I don't have an answer as much as the other armchair QB.

This is the best way to say it. I love this post.

Right now, I think comparing Seth to Eric is like comparing Kia to Hyundai. Maybe you give Eric a slight edge because he had to deal with the different college football landscape.

When you try and talk about how "we are getting better" and look at small things that don't move the needle expecting to be a better team without actually winning games, that's pretty standard moral victory. I hear a TON of it on here.
