The Mean Green certainly can’t continue to perform as they are, otherwise the espn will relegate em to the bottom 10. Is it the system or the culture or the…what?
Maybe our kick-off times will be 8:00am on Sundays

Anyone else have emotions seeing two in-state rivals on this list? I winder what they say about us now behind closed doors? Maybe they don't say anything....

Funny, not many mentions of the football program. I feel like there were some subtle hints at change there at some point. Might be pretty obvious.
He had one comment about not making emotional decisions that seemed aimed at football fans right now. My guess is SL will be here through 2022 and then a decision will be made.
They should just show Necessary Roughness on the video board after each home game to get the crowd to stick around, and a special on nachos, popcorn and beer after the 3rd quarter.

Wren at the 4:00min mark - he basically says it's time to step up. I wonder what that means (besides more money from fans)

'It can be a monster': Why North Texas could be the next UCF
DENTON, Texas – UCF has won 25 consecutive games, will appear in back-to-back New Year’s Six Bowls and has won three outright league titles with three different coaches in the last six years. Along the way, UCF has emerged as the model for teams outside of college football’s Power Five that want to grow into a juggernaut. The key ingredients have been exploiting a big television market, a rich local recruiting talent pool and a massive student body.So who could follow that model and emerge as the next generation’s mid-major darling? The answer may be North Texas, which has transformed from a school everyone passed on Interstate 35, north of Dallas, to a place that’s forcing the college football world to stop and pay attention.

Wasn't 2018 the year we beat all our in state rivals? Here is 3 years later...

I suppose this is good news for the conference, but I don't have to be happy about it.

And we are.. Oscar Adaway, Murphy twins, Deshawn Gaddie, Damon Ward, Kevin Wood, and Quinn Whitlock from the 2019 class all play big roles and coincidentally most of them were among the higher rated recruits in that class. That's about 1/3 of starters we have on the field, and they all came from a class that was ranked 4th in conference.
2020 and 2021 classes obviously have had much less of an impact, but they are in the first and second year of playing CFB. We can be mad at Littrell all we want, but it a fact it takes most players 2-3 years to be ready to make an impact.
We have a team that is led by 3 terrible classes, 2016, 2017, 2018 are all still playing for us and they were 8th, 11th, and 8th in conference. Add injuries to a team that already is young with no depth and this is what you get. All of our junior and senior players are either starters or don't even sniff the field for the most part, just look at our depth chart we have a freshman or sophomore back up at 18 positions.
To be clear, this is not me defending Littrell. He has his own issues, and as a coach everything falls on your shoulders and you're expected to overcome whatever circumstances you find yourself in. But the lack of depth due to awful recruiting for 3 straight years isn't something we can just overlook.
That makes sense to me. So, is the answer we just weather this season (and probably next) knowing that there's real hope down the road? If so, does it make sense to change coaches or just stay the course???

Those 2 top classes are true/redshirt freshman. Hard to tell what those classes are going to be based on this season alone. They very well still could be the best class but we won’t know for another year or 2
So, is that the pattern? SL is gone next year (maybe) and the new guy/gal inherits these better recruiting classes. So, they look good early on but then collapse. Rinse and repeat???
-
If we have some of the best recruiting classes, imagine what the bad ones are like. Maybe we're living in "opposite world" post Covid

I know it takes time for a football program to develop, but why are we going backwards when we seem to have solid recruiting classes each year?
- 2018 - Ranked 8th in CUSA
- 2019 - Ranked 4th in CUSA
- 2020 - Ranked 2nd in CUSA (barely behind FAU for the #1 spot)
- 2021 - Ranked 1st in CUSA
Shouldn't Mean Green Football be "best in class" at this point? Or, at the very least, be in the conversation of conference championship contender every year? We seem to be getting better and better players yet have worse and worse results.
Some have told me that Dan McCarney got lucky with Dodge's recruits, and Seth got lucky with McCarney's recruits. Is that the pattern (seems hard to believe)??? So, the next HC will have a 2-3 year run from Seth's recruits and then implode, too? Frustrating!!!
Oh well, I guess we'll be a basketball school instead. GMG

So, I’m in Frisco at an establishment that serves adult beverages last night.
Bunch of guys talking about football and the NFL is the main topic. Of course, I begin to cringe, as I know CFB talk is coming and the company I’m with include a Baylor fan and a guy who doesn’t care about football at all, so the other guys around us include Aggie fans, Sooner fans, a Longhorn fan, and a Tech fan. At any rate, I found out out, as I mention I’m a UNT grad and fan, that the Longhorn fan is a UNT alum (of course). I ask him why he follows UT and his answer was so perfect that I just laughed and shrugged my shoulders.
This guy’s buddies went to UT from high school, so he went down to see them a lot in college, because they were playing for national titles (his words) while we had a HS coach (assuming Todd Dodge) here. He said he would go to UNT games to—and here it is—to “watch the Green Brigade March at halftime” and then leave. I asked him if he ever goes to games now, since we play at Apogee. He looks at me and says, without a hint of remorse, “No, I just only follow UT religiously…but I do miss watching ‘our band’…”
I shook my head and finished my beer and went to the bathroom, realizing that I just spoke with the quintessential UNT alum. Didn’t care a lick about our program, but had pride in our band, which he won’t pay a dime to ever go see because a power team has his allegiance. This is a guy who graduated in 2006…

And the AAC is a P6 conference, too, right?
We did beat Texas A&M last year when they forfeited the game by not playing us, right???

Hey I don't blame him, I practically quit too. There's a reason I just watched this on Stadium instead of paying to see it in person. There's no reason to support the crappy product being put on the field.
I was at the game and didn't realize it was on Stadium. When I got home and saw it recorded, I promptly hit the delete button. At least the band uniforms looked good GMG

I really enjoyed the highlight video that played before the game started. It brought back a lot of great memories. I'm surprised there aren't 10 year anniversary shirts available - I would buy one. That would have a made a great season ticket holder gift, too, IMO. Anyways, Go Mean Green!
