  1. Someone already posted a link to the CBS article so this is not original, but it does take you directly to the tweet without having to go through the article.
  2. I agree with this 100 percent. People have always said that we have to win consistently to get people to come out. We have been winning for now the third year straight and just beat a WSU team on their home court where only like three OOC teams have done that in the last decade and people still don't come out. Hopefully it's just because football is still going on. Once the bowl game is over and students come back, the pit should be packed to support this team. If not, people should stop saying they will come if we win consistently because obviously that will not true.
  3. This was a bad loss for Coach Mitchell. The team is lacking conditioning as well. They seemed more worn out than WSU down the stretch. If their conditioning was better, I think they would play smarter. They should have won this game.
  4. We can talk about SL all we won't and maybe that is a problem. I don't know. What I don't like about this is don't tell the papers or reporters that even if K-State offers you won't take it because you feel like you are their second choice or fall back guy then turn right around and commit as soon as they offer. We can say he is young and sugarcoat it all we won't, but the point is he lied. He was talking all that crap about how he felt like this was family. He never was committed. He just thought we would be his best offer at the time.
  5. From what I understand and I could be wrong, this is really not a new bowl game. It is the replacement for the San Franciso/Redbox Bowl. It has gone by several names over the years such as Emerald Bowl, Fight Hunger Bowl, and Foster Farms Bowl, but the original name was the San Francisco Bowl. COVID has caused it to cancel the last couple of years so they decided to move it to Frisco because the COVID restrictions in San Francisco and California are too much. That is my understanding. Can anyone shed some light on that?
  6. Being a Steelers fan I love Big Ben, but our own Mean Joe Greene is a much better Steeler and football player than Ben. The Steelers have only two officially retired jerseys and you guessed it one of them belongs to Mean Joe Greene. Ben's jersey may never be reissued, but it will not be officially retired. Since this board is about football, Joe Greene over Ben Roethlisberger all day baby. That means UNT over Miami(OH).
  7. Agreed. If they wanted to put tall buildings to make it look more big city, they should have at least put downtown Dallas as the back drop.
  8. I guess ESPN has had the game moved up two hours. I am fine either way because I am off. It's not good for people who have to work.
  9. I bought tickets and my tickets say 4:30 PM with gates opening at 3:30 PM.
  10. This is a winnable game. Looking at their schedule, they only won one away game. This is essentially an away game for them and a home game for us.
  11. Yes. I just realized I was thinking Ohio. Someone else corrected me.
  12. You are right. I am all sorts of screwed up today. Thanks for correcting me.
  13. I called it Frisco Bowl, but I bought for the Frisco Football Classic.
  14. I just bought mine based on Brett's tweet that it was now confirmed it is the Frisco Bowl and that North Texas has accepted.
  15. I still say the refs inserted themselves into the UTA game. Not saying we would have eventually won, but they made sure we didn't by inserting themselves into the game.
  16. Everyone likes to point to the Marshall game, but don't forget that was the same time over 18 players had their cars broken into while they were at the team hotel getting ready for the game. Hard to concentrate as a 18-22 year old when that just happened and you have to sit around and wait to deal with it because you have a football game to play. Their heads were probably not in the game. Is that an excuse? Maybe, but I think it's a legitimate excuse IMO. Because after that, they almost pulled out a win against a very tough Liberty team and then won five straight. We play those teams again and I think we win. I was on the fire SL train too, but now I don't know. Now the UAB loss and the way it happened was inexcusable, but I do think the guys were still learning Bennett's defense at the time and our QB play was atrocious. We have adjusted and now they are a load to deal with. SL has to get some credit for that. QB play isn't stellar, but last year everyone was saying give us a better defense and a serviceable QB and they would be happy. Aune isn't a world beater, but he is serviceable and the defense is much improved after playing in Bennett's system and now we just knocked off the, #15 AP and #22 Coaches poll team in the country.
  17. I think SL's time has come and gone, but I will say he has done one thing for us. He has helped to raise the profile of the University to where this job as HC doesn't seem like a coaching career ender.
  18. Since my nephew plays for Aubrey, I am definitely hoping they win despite that logo that looks eerily similar to UTSA.
  19. If this is true then SL should have been winning here and then he would have had a chance at his dream job. He didn't win here consistently and now OU probably wouldn't even offer him an OC position even though I believe that is where his heart has been all along instead of on making North Texas a winner.
  20. So tell our guys to stop using condoms? Is that the key? 🤣
