[New sports]

I know college baseball is hot right now, but it feels like baseball as a whole, is on the decline.

Lacrosse would be a relatively cheap sport with big growth potential. DFW is starting to have a lot of good youth talent, and blue blood programs from the Northeast are picking a few off every year. Having the first D1 varsity lacrosse program in Texas would be big. Men’s/Women’s can play on soccer or football fields so no new facilities needed.

And no, I’m not biased.

Just like with CUSA, the top 3 in the AAC will be leaving. UNT will be in CUSA 2.0 

So is the alternative (staying in CUSA) better? No, it isn't.

Not sure what’s happening but it’s exciting.

 

Ok MWC let’s see what you got. I’m trying to be wined and dined 

[Villanova (3/21/21)]

The lack of depth was glaring. This squad was one of the most shallow teams in the entire field of 64. Doesn’t feel right to criticize after the history that’s been made, but it has to improve if we’re to get back to this point

[Villanova (3/21/21)]

So much pain. Hamlet and company deserved better.
 

There’s really nothing you can do when you’re opponent was shooting damn near 60 percent from beyond the arc for most of the game.

[Zach Orr Featured in Ravens Wired Up Video]

Good to see him still involved with the team after medical retirement and doing his thing on the sideline.

This is our new draft mantra 

Considering that a 6-7th rounder has about the same chance of making the roster as an UDFA, it’s better to pick a team on your own terms

[NFL DRAFT]

At this point it’s better to go undrafted. Hopefully Mason will get a few offers to choose from

[NFL DRAFT]

JMU definitely has a better reputation than we do at this point. They occasionally play on national television in the championship 🤷🏻‍♂️

And Proche from smu got drafted.....Lord help us.

I’m biased as a Ravens fan but he’s a good pick

[Dave Campbell's Texas Football's Texas College Football All-Decade Team: 2010s]

Zach Orr was absolutely snubbed. I know these lists are focused on college performance, but ZO was able to climb from an UDFA to being second team AP All-Pro in the NFL. He was a special player and its a shame he had to retire so early.

[Seth should purge the entire staff]

This season has illuminated a lot about SL and the team he built: it was all Mason Fine, some good WR's, some luck, and an easy schedule.

What still baffles my mind, is how the administration has backed themselves into a corner, and effectively locked SL to us come hell or high water. Any gains they have made in how the AD's office is run can be quickly negated if the on the field product remains at this level, and we get into financial trouble by having to eat a bad contract. This situation sucks. We suck. And unfortunately, I don't see it being any better next year.

[Do you believe in the Mean Green?]

Your take is too generous and rose colored. We’ve won zero big games, and zero bowl game wins over the past couple years with all of that same institutional support and an all-UNT history QB. We’re correcting back to the mean, which at UNT equates to .450 football. 

Next year’s team is in for a world of hurt. There is no depth, or if there is they’re having a terrible year. The shine has been rubbed off of SL, and he’s not going anywhere. We’ll look back on these years and be incredibly angry that we didn’t capitalize on the many opportunities to make real changes to the program.

Ya I don’t understand why we have fans who think some games are gimme? Boggles my mind.

ACU was the only gimmie on this seasons schedule.

We do not deserve to go bowling. Sorry to Mason and the other seniors, but they’ve had chances to win bowls and have fallen short. That’s life. The university needs to save the money and look forward to next year.

Here you go:
"Well, give Louisiana Tech a ton of credit, they're a terrific football team.  Coach Holtz had his guys ready to go today and they made more plays than we did.   We didn't play up to our potential today, and there were issues in all 3 phases.  We have to do better, and that starts with me.  I need to do a better job of getting this team ready to play, then we need to execute and make routine plays.  With that, I'll open it up for questions..."

When I die, put “there were issues in all 3 phases” on my tombstone. 

[***OFFICIAL UNT VS. LA. TECH GAME THREAD***]

Mason should have redshirted this year... 

[Is it too soon to talk about a Mason Fine Statue at Apogee?]

Love the kid and it’s admirable that he put up the numbers he has. Undoubtedly the best QB North Texas has ever had.

But let’s get real... He’s a sure fire UNT HOFer. That’s it.

Joe Greene was a generational talent, NFL HOFer, made a huge imprint on the NFL and is a household name for what he did in and out of football. 

This isn’t a shot at Mason, he’s seems like a good guy. But comparing the two is a little ridiculous.

[LaTech Prediction 11/9...and go!]

Hate to say it but there’s too much optimism in this thread. If LaTech doesn’t drop 60 on this defense I’m sure they’ll be disappointed. 

[***OFFICIAL UNT vs CHARLOTTE FAN IN-GAME DISCUSSION***]

Fire the entire coaching staff. The gig is up, this crew is not good. Capitalize on the things that are going well with the program and find a better HC to take the reigns and run with the ball.

[1.8 Million & a Jet]

Go ahead and downvote me, but fire everyone. I don’t care. Seth and company have officially overstayed their welcome and the gig is up.

Shouldn't the Topic Title change to #hit4 ? 

I am not seeing a path to 6 wins and really only one true solid chance for a Win and that is against UTEP. 

Yup. This is a situation where putting all of your hopes in 3 or 4 players to carry an entire team has gone to shit. No depth and no fundamentals.

[Wren , I Know You Must Be Watching This ... !]

Wren was on the sideline last night down near the UNT visitor section. As he was watching the game (in between sending texts) he was surprising calm about it all.  We weren't too far gone to come back by that point in the game, but he just was not emotional about the performance. 

Meanwhile a few feet behind him, those of us in the stands were losing our minds watching the bottom begin to drop out.

That’s not surprising. I don’t think you would be a good AD if your emotions are all over the place like a fan.
