    Wish the AAC would form some kind of alliance with the MWC. Even if it was OOC games. I believe it would benefit both and may help on broadcasting $$.

    I wish all G5s would understand where they stand and work together like this. I think the days of needing multiple paydays are ending for most programs. I like the idea of G5 conference challenges like they do in basketball.

    I get UAB is going to get some love playing at home.  But have these guys watched us play the last few weeks?  Anything more than UAB -3 for being a home team is crazy. I would actually swap that to UNT -3 and bet heavily on that. 

    UAB was given a 61% chance of beating us. 

  3. I'll have to ask around, but I don't get the feeling UTSA is doing anything really special other than maybe talking up some kids that playing time is to be had and we are winning football games. Now, that isn't a bad thing, if anyone thinks I'm saying that it is. I just think it is a little overblown or pumped up, if you will, to say one of the best.

    Lemonade out of lemons is far more appropriate. CJT is very likeable. The operations guys is super likeable. That helps a lot.   

    Plain and simple, winning cures all *IF* an athletics department and fundraising can strike while the iron is hot. Boise St never really did, look at them now. Their facilities are "meh" for an OG BCS busting program. 3 Fiesta Bowls in 8 seasons. 25Kish students every year. Asking for financial ssupport is super duper important AND reaching out to those who do dig as deep as they can saying "thanks" once a quarter is icing on the cake.

    Like, it wasn't completely unreasonable to play the defense straight up. Texada had good coverage, played it well. He was beat. I have no problem with that -- that's football. 

    That was going to be UTSA's play no matter what. 6'3" with a great vertical against a 5'10" DB. A timeout just gives UTSA 3 maybe 4 plays because there was 23 seconds on the snap.

    UTSA is quickly rising to the ranks of “I really hope we humble them.”  Their student section was flipping off Gumms after he scored. Just awful behavior. Hope our fans have the same fire, but classier.  I’d like to see us play them again this year AND beat them. 

    Thank you for sharing this. I'm too far from the student section to see it. I always assume it is UTSA "birds up", but not the middle bird. Some of our fans boo the other teams as they enter and leave the stadium. Why would anyone boo college kids, without provocation, is beyond me. I simply ignore the other team.

    I know the advanced stats say we got dominated, but it never felt that way IMO. Probably because we had the lead the vast majority of the game. 

    I was sitting in the stadium, so I completely agree. People who were listening to the broadcast would share, "North texas only has xx yards" and none of us believed it. Responses were "what? really?!?!?" or along those lines. It was one of those games where both defenses really took away the best offensive stat of each team. I know UNT was 50/50 coming into the game, but that pass game comes off of the run first approach. UTSA is clearly pass first.

    I had not seen this posted yet. Anyone have insight into this? Seems like Vito isn't talking to us about it.

    Apparently, it was about the 4th down call. This is why I didn't talk to any UNT fans after the game. It was an emotional game and any words can trigger emotions or be taken out of context. Simply put, UNT's OC out OC'ed the shit out of UTSA's OC and almost came away with a win. From my eyes, it was an absolutely brilliant game plan that was only brought down by dropped passes. Defensively, both teams picked their poison, but UTSA's OC didn't see it until the 4th quarter. I think he lucked into 200 yards of rushing as a team, to be honest.

    It is very possible to have more than just one single rival in college football!

    LSU, Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Michigan, OSU all just checked into the check and nodded with approval of this statement.  It looks like others are waiting in queue to join. 🙂

    I love having UTSA as a rival.  A great city to go to. Easy travel. Battle of the BIRDS

     

    make it around T-giving a every year. 

    THIS!!!!!!!  LITERALLY ALL OF THIS! Just far enough to make it a "trip", but oh so close enough for "familiarity breeds contempt" CUSA's issue was not following the SEC template. People can talk smack about cupcake week in the SEC, but no one and I mean no one talks smack about those known rivalries on the calendar at the same bat time and on the same bat channel the following week. 

    Giving people the same time of year to look forward to every year is crucial in getting sideline fans into stadiums for "important games".

  10. UTSA is on left tackle #6 who is a converted defensive lineman. 

    UTSA might have finally found RB #1.

    The best WR corps in G5 HAS to have a huge game.

    UTSA is riddled with injuries and is a tired football team, right now.

    Weather clearly won't be any kind of influence.

    UTSA's DL and overall front 6-7 have to be able to contain UNT's very good rushing attack. 

    This most likely won't be the last game that UNT and UTSA face each other in the 2022 season.

    I'd much rather go to the Bahamas Bowl, if going out of the continental 48.

    I truly believe it's the latter of the two.    

    There were a ton of people who ate the rat poison that was continuously given during the last 6 weeks of last year's regular season... then ate up all of the overdose that the UTSA game provided.

    This, evidenced by one of our biggest donors slapping his name all over a made-up bowl game because he (like about 99% of America) believed we would win.   How could we not?  We're on a 5-game win streak, knocking off a ranked opponent in the process!   The game is about 30 minutes from campus!   Miami, OH sucks!     
    ...but we didn't.   And of course, to try and explain it away, we hear, "it's Torrey's fault for bailing on the team", "It's Aune's fault because he's not good", and my favorite, "It's the Murphys' fault for their undisciplined play!", etc...   And now, we're stuck watching this lame-duck year.

    Hopefully those same donors who ate up last year's poison, recognize the same truck backing in for the late season poison dropoff against garbage C-USA teams, and decide they don't want to take it.

    I wonder how much influence CUSA had in this for the extra revenue? What is it? 500K that the schools get each year from TV?

    Seems like he is indirectly stating the obvious challenge for UTSA and other system type schools underneath a flagship program.  All of the big donors in San Antonio are being encouraged to give all their money to UT Austin.  That seems to be his main message, basically "Please throw us a bone too".

    I've said many times, "UTSA is fighting an uphill battle against generationaly Aggies and Longhorns that only 3 decades of Football can only begin to solve." There's been a decent shift, but a loong way to go. If NIL doesn't come around we stand a chance, but it's putting us further behind. Good lord, SMU and Tech are completely outclassing us and they both basically suck in the landscape of college football considering their histories. 

    People poke fun at us not having a stadium on campus, but it is a god send. It's our one leverage point.
