GM1998

Coach Hedlund has his men's program pulled from him like a thief in the night. I know, I was in the room when he announced we weren't gonna play the 1994 season. What did he do? He stayed on and built a quality women's program from scratch. That is a coach who sees opportunities not excuses. We need a guy like that!!!!

UTSA vs UNT, the pillow fight of the year!!!!!!

My estimate exactly. Tough time slot, depressing season, Halloween...

Is that true?

Bingo! We have a winner!!!! I hate to say it, but Cougar King has been more than fair to us this season. U of H is a quality program and may run the table this year to an American Conference Championship. We on the other hand are in a hole and with luck have stopped digging ourselves deeper. I am sure Cougar supporters would like more participation/attendance but Houston is a huge city with lots of options for entertainment dollars. I would think that the school would do more to advertise their success, but as a resident of the Houston area I just don't see any Pro-Cougar love. Not much of that really matters. The Cougars are taking care of business on the road and at home. We don't do it anywhere. Now Cougar King can go back to his trolling from his mom's house with a smile on his face.

I would give 10 likes if I could. Post of the day.

Offense was good enough to win a BCS bowl game at a perennial basketball school... However I am with the mob on this one. He hasn't been relevant in years. Nor do I think he can connect with modern recruits. I do like us meeting with a name that has some national notoriety.

Typing on a phone. Small screen, older eyes... Good catch.

At least Rice is worth the money. Baylor, TCU, and SMU are way to expensive for what you get. People associated with those three schools see us as less than TTU and on par with SFA, SHSU and perhaps Southwest (I refuse to call SWTS Texas State. Just principal). Their loss. Denton is a great town and and UNT is excellent school for the money.

Congrats to Hedlund and the Lady Mean Green. At least something salvaged my sanity this weekend. My other teams are horrible!!!!

The pillow fight of the year!!!!! But seriously, this will be a good test of Smith. I think the kid has potential. Just needs to get the reps at game speed.

There was one on a quick receiver screen that was horrible. Makes the whole team look poorly coached.

Defense settled down and played well in the second half. Give Smith some time at QB. Hopefully he will learn to audible to a play more suited for the look the defense is giving. The no back look w/ a blitzing defense just didn't work. It was a disaster. Hopefully this will be fixed in films this week. I know it wasn't a win, but I think it was a step in the right direction. If not for this season, then for the spring and next year.

I have heard that argument in the past. Is there any truth behind it? If so, how did Southwest get to become Texas State. I don't think Texas State is part of the Texas A&M system. I know there is a "directional" university stigma. I don't know if that was the catalyst in changing the name of a few Louisiana state universities, but we still kept a directional distinction in our name. Whatever the reason, we aren't referred to as North Texas State as a "nickname", we are called that because we haven't given anyone a reason to learn our real name. Well said. I believe many on here, including myself have called for a donation system which leverages small donations from many versus going after deep pocket donors.

Coach Mac Brown, formerly of the University of Texas, was just giving accolades to the University of Memphis QB on a job well done. He mentioned his development by Darrell Dickey, the current QB coach at Memphis, and former head coach of North Texas State. WTF!!!! We haven't been NTSU since 1988! Even when someone is trying to give us a nod in a nationally televised game they get it wrong! I am sure we are mostly to blame that people get that wrong, but if a former coach in Texas doesn't even know what to call you then you have a long way to go! Even compliments at UNT are backhanded!

Well played sir. Plus 1 to you.

Call the banner what you will, but it will be tough to ignore.

Maybe Kid Lester will show up with the rain and we will beat Marshall!!! Points to whoever gets the movie reference.

I broke my ribs last week, laughing hurts. That meme was totally worth the laugh. And fitting to describe our program!

I recommended Ararat to someone just last week. I am amazed at how few people have seen it. But then again many are clueless about the subject matter of the film. Perhaps we should all come up with a list of hidden gem films, broken down by genre, that we can watch on Saturdays in the fall. Then we could avoid the un-watchable football our university produces. It won't make it go away, but maybe we will discover some films worth watching. We are a RTVF school! Just a thought.

Conference wins are the name of game. A system similar to this would make us competitive and get us over the 6 game win hump and hopefully towards a CUSA championship. Got to go with a system that you can recruit to and be successful. Lots of athletic kids in Texas who are told they can't play QB at the P5 schools. Perhaps we could be that destination of such kids in a triple option system. It works for service academies... I too am a fan of a 4-2-5 or a 4-3, depending on the situation. Personally I would like a defense based on fundamentals like tackling and position responsibilities. Odd concept at UNT. Think of it like a woman. Dress for the body you have, not the one you want!!!! If you don't you look silly...

He tried the discipline, hard line with the 49ers. It didn't work. Harbaugh had to come in and salvage. We cannot afford a Hargaugh to come save us. I think there is some name recognition but I would say pass as well.

Most on here thought UNT would not have the stones to fire Mac mid-season and would let him finish his contract to avoid the buy out.

The firing of Mac surprised many. Perhaps the President will do the right thing and show RV the door. If not we will see more of the same. However don't fret, we are used to mediocrity!!!!

If this team didn't munity and Laid down vs Portland State then we may have the worst FBS team in history. I have been chastised on this board for calling the players quitters. I just call it like I see it. Not sure how anyone can say they play with heart. Mid they did munity then I am not sure I want anyone if them back. Sad state of affairs men. Sad state.
