No, he won it because we played UNLV and not Utah State, And very good Troy team and FAU last year. Not even close to the same competition

I’d like to see Austin Aune in a wildcat next year.

Our game vs SMU next year will be much more difficult with Hicks gone.

Like it or not, the fact of the matter is a strong football/athletic program improves academics and academic funding for a public school like North Texas. More students come to the school, more students stay, more alumni donate when they feel more attached thru athletics. More people know about the school, it’s marketing. It’s a far more complicated equation than if we don’t pay the coach we can pay the professors. A rising tide lifts all boats.

That’s a fairly wild leap. You have to look at teams entire year. They lost 5 in a row to teams that would have beaten if they were in fact a strong team. we beat SMu and Arkansas, great. But if you look at the body of work we barely beat several bad teams and lost to a a bad ODU. You can’t ignore the bad stuff and just pick out good stuff. your basic premise is if we had prepared better we would have won. Sometimes you just aren’t as good as the other team. Go look at Billy’s post, he nailed it. We overachieved and some offensive matchups hid our weaknesses in some games in order to have at least a winning season.

Couldn’t find a pen?

They are playing USF, who has lost 5 straight. Marshall wouldn’t be having an easy time vs Utah State

I dont wish him the best. He outright said I have North Texas there if nothing better comes along. We should pull his offer and move on. We need kids that are good and want to be here, that kid has selfish written all over him and isn’t as good as he thinks he is.

Ok, must have started leaving or something. Last camera shot I saw was fairly empty.

Why do the announcers keep referring to the “big crowd”? It doesn’t look like much.

Maybe we should win our conference once or twice, before we think we are ready to jump ship to a better conference. Being the bottom dweller of anything is not a good place to be. We are on our way there, but we aren’t there yet.

It's not always bad to be in last place. Here's some things we can focus on: One, we tried hard. And two, we're still dear friends.

It looks like MTSU has 7 SRs starting on Off, that’s a lot to replace. 4 on def.

You convinced me, let’s join the P5s. Can we sign up on line somewhere, or do we have to do some kind of training first?

That’s a long, long, long way from Top 10 coaches money. I guess they decided to put their giant pile of money into a savings account instead of using it on a coach.
