When, if ever, was the last time we beat UTEP at their place? If I were Seth, I would arrange for the team to have a practice week somewhere in the Trans Pecos area, so as to acclimatize to the elevation change. Either that or have them spend time doing aerobic exercise, walking up and down the wing zone, whatever.

That is the danger out here. Folks don't realize they are losing liquids due to perspiration because it evaporates immediately and they forget to drink water. I love the dry climate, because it doesn't cool off after the sun goes down. It is 101 here now and I just spent about an hour outside and didn't sweat through one piece of clothing.
So, just wondering, how much liquid (water I presume) will you consume for that hour outside? It seems to require a conscious effort, because of the perspiration going unnoticed, as you mention.

El Paso is a dry heat. East Texas is a humid heat. Dry heat feels - for lack of a better term - "external" to me. You feel it on your skin and it seems hot, but it doesn't weigh you down like humid heat.
Humid heat can feel like you're wrapped in layers of fleece blankets, and your entire body feels heavy and weighed down.
Pretty hard to convey if you've only felt one your entire life. at this point, I've spent over 20 years in each.It only took getting off the plane in El Paso, around April 1, 2019, after experiencing what had been a pretty wet spring in the DFW area. Temps were probably around 80 then, and felt damned good. This was on the way to do some hiking at Big Bend National Park, where my hiking buddy mentioned what I had been thinking, "hey, it's convenient not having to pee". I guess whatever liquids were consumed, which you need a lot of, were used for other purposes.

I just came back from El Paso after a business trip this past Thursday and it was my first time too. I stayed at a place called "The Hotel" at Sunnyville or something like that. I believe I saw the bill at $70 and it was nice. They offer no breakfast. It is next door to a casino but there is just a snack bar there.
It is really hot and man you get some strong sand storms there.
I'll agree with the occasional sand in your teeth, but what makes it any hotter there than in Denton? Most sources I looked up showed El Paso with highs maybe a degree hotter than Denton, and lows maybe a couple of degrees lower. And definitely drier feeling there. The lack of large shade trees in that part of Texas might make it seem hotter, but that's nothing that would matter inside a football stadium, especially at night. Hot? Yes, but so is northern Texas.

It's kind of hard to see why this is on our football forum, other than a lack of anything else. He never had a chance of being hired here. There seems to be some undercurrent of support for his rehabilitation, but we are in no position to do anything but look forward to the next hfc coach hire for UNT, who needs to be someone without the kind of baggage that the Briles name brings. Doesn't he have a retirement plan sufficient to get us past some kind of pity party for the guy?

He's busy enough deciding whether to close schools due to weather.

That is the $1,000,000 question. I can't fathom why SL is so dogged in sticking with one QB when he isn't getting the job done. If it is because the others aren't ready, or haven't progressed in the system to where he is comfortable with them leading the team, then that is on him and the coaches charged with prepping these young men.
Ok, I see we have some of the same unanswered questions. I think if any other school is competing with us for receivers or quarterbacks, they may point out the same issues. I actually had some hope that an experienced quarterback coach might be brought in from the outside, but I'm now wondering if SL has decided that his late season emphasis on the run game, which worked ok until it didn't, might be his plan going forward, as we have hired a new O line coach instead.
My brother-in-law from Boise mentioned that he thought the strategy of outscoring their opponents was the way Boise State had succeeded. On this one topic I would agree with him, and that as a way forward for us. Maybe Seth thinks he'll strike lightning with Stone. Objectively though, it seems that Aune regressed last year, when we had no full time qb coach. I really think that SL wants to stick with a quarterback he starts the season with, and once he's changed, doesn't consider other options.

That first one has travelled half the country and is still buried on the depth chart.
You seem to be referencing Kade Renfro, a quarterback who backed out of a commitment to UNT to sign with Ole Miss. I can understand someone who may be a good qb somewhere being buried on the depth chart behind someone who, at this point, appears likely to be the drafted in the first round of the next NFL draft. It's harder to understand quarterbacks being buried in the depth chart at UNT since the departure of Mason Fine, considering the level of play at that position we have seen.
And honestly, highly talented FBS quarterbacks get benched or beaten out by others all the time, transfer to other schools, play where they wouldn't have if they'd stayed put, and often succeed beyond expectations at the time they transfer, just not here. Of course we're talking about more than quarterbacks in this thread, but that's who you chose as an example, and UNT as a place "not to be buried on the depth chart".
What have we seen in the last 3 years to justify that, for quarterbacks anyway? And I'm sure I'm not the only here to think "hey the first two guys aren't getting it done, next up".

A bitter pill, perhaps the bitterest in the Seth era, in my humble opinion.
Well, I'm done with this Mean Green Football until the Seth Show hits the road for good. Martin looked good every time he was out there. If anyone knows why he never got a chance despite no quarterback after Mason's departure showing us any reason why they were on the field, I would be interested in reading about it. My theory is that Seth keeps a Hotel California style of quarterback doghouse Kason where Kason checked in (perhaps by letting it be known he wanted to play?), and couldn't leave.
Good Luck, Kason Martin, and I expect you'll finally be seeing the field and getting results elsewhere.

So, how is that Kason Martin has fallen so far since appearing to be good enough to play at this level 3 years ago in the New Mexico Bowl once Mason went down, and has not been given opportunities for meaningful playing time since? This, despite UNT not really having anyone playing qb well enough to keep opposing defenses honest for the last 2 years.

An average qb is what he needs! If he is canned Bennett is probably gone which I think would be a mass exodus of players. Then we are back into a rebuild.
After what we've seen since Mason Fine left, your prescription is settling for mediocrity at the qb position? I'm not sure how that would sound out on the recruiting trail, "hey we see you as our best hope for an average passing game". Honestly though, it seems that for the last 2 years we've never risen to the level of adequate qb play, so maybe you have a point. Wouldn't it be better though, to aim higher, even giving a shot to others on the roster, just on the off chance that they might be one of those who is better in a game than in practice?

I went to a Euless Trinity vs Allen playoff game at Apogee maybe 5 or 6 years ago and it was standing room only. I hate to say it, but to me, it looked like a crowd for a college football game should look.

Why would he leave on his own if he won 6 straight and had just beat a Top 20 UTSA and won a bowl?
Why would we assume that he would not, or that he wouldn't otherwise be released, when there is an example of someone much more successful at another level (and recently more competitive against power 5 teams) leaving by "mutual agreement" just last week:

Why wouldn't we want SL (and UNT) to win out, including a bowl win? If he did that, then left, he would probably have a better chance for a well paying assistant position somewhere, reducing the amount of our payout

Didn't Seth say once that he wanted to coach a high school triple option team after he left college coaching? Are we sure he hasn't already started that career change?

Name Bennett interim coach and begin the national search for our next HC.
We need to interview some big names too. We have to get some positive media attention from this search, and draw attention away from Littrell's failure. Even if we hire an FCS guy with major skins on the wall, we have to bring in some major names for interviews.
No to Bennett. If he won a few he has the resume to become a credible hfc candidate here, who probably doesn't have what it takes to set this program right, based on his record at SMU. Maybe Cobbs could be a good fit as interim, as there would be few expectations anyway, and if he won a few or at least had us playing competitively, might set himself up for a promotion here or a good move to another school, which could look good for us. I just don't see us a place where a "new" coach should be an internal hire, which a Bennett promotion might portend.

So they really are going down this long and winding road of the "radio business", searching for that elusive "right" genre. It sounds like the powers that be have determined that college students don't love jazz enough, as though everyone should know what they want and have it served to them upon arrival in college. But, I guess Willie Nelson (an old Denton DJ) struggled for years against the sentiment of too many chords aren't what country music is about, until people finally decided, "hey Patsy Cline singing that jazzy "Crazy" song is pretty good"!
I love 91.7, but we already have 91.7. And it doesn't have commercials either. Any time I've turned on 88.1 over the last few days (with heavy heart), the playlist is neither indie or special in any way I've noticed. I'll pass along a suggestion that I saw on "Reddit" that any unhappiness about this be expressed directly to the President of the University, who is said to take particular interest in such matters. In the meantime, I went down the internet rabbit hole to find this quote, attributed to Hunter S. Thompson by the "Krud Radio" website:
"The radio business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.
There's also a negative side."
