I wouldn’t mind being relevant, not meh, and nationally hated.

It would be a nice change of pace. Johnny and his fiddle of gold type feeling for me here.

We can achieve Briles level success with a coach that doesn't bring Briles history. There are plenty of candidates elsewhere.

I was a sSeth defender but I can’t find a way to defend hjm any longer. I though Phill Bennett was the answer and he is amazing. The problem is that he is so good at his job that the defense doesn’t suck bad enough to hide the offensive deficiencies any longer.

I like the staff we have but not the playcalling. This will get bombed to hell and back but I’d like to keep the staff but we have but have Bennett talk Art or Kendal Briles into taking over for Seth at season’s end. 

If I can’t have that, then make Bennett the coach or scrap the whole deal and hire Colby Carthel out of SFA. 

Art Briles cannot coach here. He just can't. We cannot let that happen.

I know it sounds tantalizing. He boosted Houston and Baylor to soaring heights. He is an offensive guru. He gets us to G5 elite status, and quickly, if all goes according to plan.

But man, the negative PR is just. Not. Worth it. It's one thing to be irrelevant and meh. It's another to be irrelevant and meh and be nationally hated. You risk universally being disliked across the CFB landscape on the offchance you win, not BECAUSE you're winning, which is different. 

We all know and saw what Briles did for Baylor. It's tempting. But we can't do it.

I covered TAMUC football for the one semester I went there in 2015 before transferring to UNT. Coach Carthel is the real deal and a swell human being. 

 

I'm not 100% on the move on from Seth train just yet but if that's the move Carthel is absolutely a guy we need to eye.

Sorry you had a bad experience. Ours was alright. Late lunch around 4 at Mockingbird Station, walked over, walked the stadium, sat in 217 away from all the riff raff, cheered on the Green Guys, walked back to Mockingbird Station.   I would have really liked to come out with the win…or at least a closer finish. Oh, well. Next year.  GMG!

I'm glad you had a good time! I hope most UNT fans did! Like i said in the OP I do not want to generalize and lump all SMU fans together. I talked to and met plenty who were more than cordial and respectful last night.

Also: the official account retweeting something like this is straight trash behavior. Definitely have some 20 year old fraternity kid running the account

This annoys me but I don't really care. From a football perspective I'm hardly upset after last night compared to how pissed I am from the behavior of the clowns in the front row of my section. 

 

I even tweeted about what I saw and I have multiple SMU fans in my mentions saying stuff like "Save some girls for the rest of us". It's absolutely disgusting. SMU can win 100 games against us for all I care. It's not about football. I don't want to see cheerleaders getting cat called and air humped at SMU, North Texas, or any school. Those are 18-22 year old boys and girls passionately supporting their school and they do a damn good job of it. Nobody deserves to be sexually harassed, least of all by 40 year old drunk bozos at a damn football game. It's embarrassing and I'm ashamed that those 4 individuals may return to GFS and continue that behavior. 

 

Anyway.

[Disgusted by the SMU Gameday experience.]

I thought I would enjoy tonight's game as long as UNT stayed competitive. Unfortunately, football was the last thing I could focus on.

 

Parking sucked. No signs to direct where to park after 5 pm.

Had to park 20 mins away from GFS and stand in a line for 35 mins to get in at Gate 6.

The guy sitting next to me chanted cee-UNT in the second quarter while it was 3-0. Okay.

Same fan called our players "P***y boy" when they would go down with injuries.

His friend banged on the benches every time SMU was on defense, causing the kid (prob 3-4 years old) behind me to cry and scream half the game.

Worst of all, and I do not say this lightly, I was subjected to four drunk SMU assholes at the front of my section harassing our cheerleaders. Cat calling and doing jerk off motions, reprehensible behavior. There were kids and families from both teams sitting around me and they were never told to stop, so they didn't. 

I tried really hard not to swear and I will refrain from doing so but I am livid. The worst sporting game experience I have ever had. I do not intend to paint a broad brush stroke on SMU fans with this post but I am absolutely appalled with what I saw tonight. I do not take the gameday and fan experience at Apogee for granted.

Thank Yall! I brought him out to the last game but I didnt want to bring him into the Devils Den and subject him to such horrible people in Red

You walked past us at the NSU game and my mother, I kid you not, said to me "That is the most adorable baby I have ever seen". So, good job!

[SMU Seats: where are you sitting?]

I'll be in Section 121. Row 6. Come say hi.

I'll play the GB songs/cheers on my phone and bring a bluetooth speaker. Section 121 bout to go nuts

Hank said during the coaches show tonight he and Dave were recording interviews for BTG today. Has an episode aired yet? Does anyone know if we’re getting it this year? I miss it a lot.

I'm right there with you on this. I'm seeing so many people talk about SMU like they're a top 15 team from the SEC. They have a better team than us right now for sure, but there's no reason we shouldn't be able to hang tough with them. 

I won't be happy with the result, but I can live with a 10-14 point loss. Long as we're competing, I will be content. Anything other than being down 28-6 in the second please.

[Predicted Result of SMU Game?]

I know they've beaten the tar out of us 3/4 the last visits. I know they have the hype. But I am sick and damn tired of seeing people act like they are of a higher echelon of existence than us. We can hang with these guys. We don't, but we can. I will never ever ever pick those pretentious goons to win.

 

49-29 UNT wins.

Well I know he is at least 0-2 

No. He beat Mike Price and UTEP in 2017. I think he's 1-2.

[Upon further review NW State]

The defense forced 3 turnovers, was explosive in how they put pressure on Fletcher, and held their all Conference running back to under 100 yards. We won by 30.

 

There are lots of problems to address before we go to Dallas but give some credit to guys like Stout and Gaddie who clearly showed their skill sets and involvement have improved.

I need Jace to get his precision down and torch these clowns. They lost to Tulsa and ECU last year. They are not on some plane of greatness higher than us. Pleaseee win by 50.

Why don't we just forfeit to SMU and move on to UAB.

Because we're not babies and once every so often we kick their pony ass and revel in the delight and joy that it brings.

I think this group needs time. I am think year 2/year 3 of Ruder (completely assuming he's the guy going forward) is when things really start to get going on offense.

You in 2023

[Full upload of the NSU game?]

Thank you guys! Much appreciated.

[After a 2nd watch]

You should also note that our DB's are no longer allowed to defend passes legally.

[418 yards??]

Second NSU touchdown should never have happened. Bogus PI call on Stout. Defense wasn't dominant but they did enough. 418 yards is fine if you create four turnovers.

[Full upload of the NSU game?]

Does anyone have a link to the full game? Want to do some in depth breakdowns.

[Charlotte]

Charlotte is extremely likable and easy to root for. Absolutely pulling for Healy and Co. to win the east this year.
