Go ahead Raiders. I would hope we learned our lesson last time. Mosely was here. Take the buyout and go money-whip GJ Kinne.

Oh my.

No. This message board is a better place when they’re not around. Let’s not page him/her.

We had so much fun! SA had some fun, but not nearly as much as us!

Shhh. Trust the QB guru. He'S THe GuY wHo fOUnD pAT MahOmES!!!1!!1!

Trying to find what he said that was so offensive...? Are y'all talking about his comment about fans not coming to games? 'Tis true. UNT's attendance avg last season: 17,761 Marshall: 23,198 I dunno about y'all, but 6K more fans/gm is pretty noticeable. Sadly, we pulled less than the season average against our "biggest rival". That said, I hope he gets to play there, but he wasn't going to see the field here as long as Chandler is healthy.

Let’s just go out there and have fun! My prediction: NT - Fun! SA - Also fun! But maybe a little more fun.

That’s not how this particular thread works @NT93! This is more of a ‘postgame meltdown’ gif. Let’s hope we avoid that this week. I’m just ready to go. No expectations. Let’s just see what happens.

That 2012-2013 jump is a good comparison, but I'm having a tough time finding the dudes on this year's defense that can compare to that 2013 defense (let alone the skins Skladany had on the wall VS what Caponi brings). Maybe we'll get some surprises. It would be awesome! ...but totally unexpected. As for 2016-2017, I think it's important to bring up where the program came from just 1 year prior (1-11 with the worst loss in program history in 2015), so the improvement had already begun. Littrell just continued his own momentum in 2017.

You really think we're going to win 8 games this season after losing Rogers, Maclin, Adeyi, Adaway, and going 5-7 last year? I'm sorry, I hope for that, but there's no way I can expect that. Now, is <8wins/yr where we should be, as a football program? Heck no! Not against the competition we play while being located in DFW. I completely agree that "Hit 6" should not ever be a goal for the Mean Green. I expect more.

I can already hear the excuses now... "We brought in Isheem to be the missing piece for the defense, but he got hurt before the season even started. We got his waiver cleared with the NCAA for 2025, and we have some guys that stepped up, so we're even more experienced in this system now..."

I think the reason people keep bringing up Littrell is because during the week of September 22-29, 2018, a very very high number of Mean Green faithful believed we had truly turned that corner. Starting the year 4-0, including beating Arkansas on the road (I don't care how bad Arkansas turned out to be that season), after going 9-4 the previous season. That week was probably the high water mark of Mean Green football from my viewpoint (and I was around for the Dickey years). I never felt more confident in where NT football was headed than that week.

I suppose you're not understanding, so let's break it down. I have some time today. What is your realistic expectation of the 2024 Mean Green football team this year? Consider the following: Schedule/opponents, coaching staff, players...
