Before Coach Mac got here, our alumni didn't even have TVs.

I suppose that this announcement would've caused some controversy and debate about a month ago.

And now here's the one time I'm ever, in my life, going to make an "At least with Dodge statement." At least with Dodge, as horrible as we were, deservedly permanent residents of the bottom 10, laughing stock of the nation, hapless and hopeless, at least back then, the fans still cared. I don't know what Mac's doing anymore, and I don't really care.

Well at least the worst of my Saturday will be over by 2 ish. Is there anyway Rice will over look us or seek revenge from last years loss?

I will rock my green and pray for a miracle on Grass. Maybe our Defense steps up, Maybe our O-line decides to blocks. The Jimmy Show will get his yards regardless

Well, if McNulty is going to start, can the OC work around his strengths so he can have an impact on the game?

His strength is supposed to be mobility and running...why not use it? We ran the ball with DT, surely McNulty can run to keep defenses honest.

Scoring only 20 on usm at home is the equivalent to getting blown out by Indiana and uab on the road. That was a below average game. Unacceptable.

At least give McNulty a decent chance to win the game instead of not lose it.

At this point I'm not even thinking about QB. It's a disaster. I could see Minimac driving this team next year similar to DT, if we had all of the other 2013 parts of the system and he had all of this year to get experience. DW has some skills, but he's shown me why he wasn't getting playing time and I haven't seen anything from him to show otherwise. There were hints about our coach's inability to manage QBs last year when we didn't see any meaningful playing time from other QBs in the games that we had under control.

The bad defense has me most worried.

I'm already dreading next year's $mut game.

It won't matter. If you have viewed any Rice games you would know for sure our defense cannot stop them.

IMHO McNulty didn't really do anything to lose the job. We could still theoretically get to a bowl game, so if he gives us the best chance to win put him out there and give him a chance to make some plays. Until we have 7 losses i am not a fan of the "let's just play for next year" attitude regardless of how unlikely the circumstances.

No I don't think our OC can tailor to the strengths of any QB or develop a QB from the ground up. He sure seems unable to recruit them. Maybe if the QB was exceptional; enough he could over come our OC.

He didnt do anything to win the job either. Our best drives of the season were with dajon. He has given us the best qb play. He has also given us the worst. Against weak comp, dajon has looked real good. Usm was a weak team. He could have lit them up. Instead we went with McNulty. We lost to a bad team. He did not look bad, but he did not look good either.

Out of all our qbs, dajon is the only one that has had some successful drives against decent comp.

Like some have said, he just needed the playcalling to be more conservative.

We lost to usm. McNulty could be benched for that alone. I would rather means get experience these last 5 games if we cant even win usm.

What happens if we start getting blown by rice? Something tells me Rice is going to get a lead, McNulty is going to struggle and dajon comes in the second half. Hes going to look good and we are all going to wonder what if he would have started against usm.

It doesn't matter if we are the worst team or the best team, I never miss a game if I have the opportunity to see our team on the field.

UNT alumni need to comprehend that this program was almost never on TV before last season and now they are on almost every weekend. They need to tune in to show their support even if we are 2-5. Basketball doesn't matter until the first tip off. This is football season and the Gridiron is where everyone's support should be but go ahead if you must and tear this comment apart basketball die hards.

      Doesn't seem new, but unlimited transfers

      Tim Pernetti's (new AAC Commissioner) remarks regarding exploring more corporate involvement seems interesting and innovative, sort of. Getting some heavy-hitter businesses on board with their big advertising/public-relations budgets. They get to splash their logos all over the AAC venues, ceremonies, uniforms, etc in exchange for some NIL type moola. I don't know, it all just feels weird and uncomfortable to this old fat guy.

      We have complained for years about being left in the dark. The Mean Green Club was promised quarterly meetings that never took place, now there is little to no coverage of the spring practices, player movement is constant so the days of watching a last second scholarship player developing in to a Hall of Fame performer are long gone ala Johnny Quinn, there is little to no fan engagement, etc... It just keeps getting worse and without a push to really involve the fans, I foresee a bleak future. They, the AD, has to create excitement around the team/program or Apogee will just become a waste of money, the new basketball arena will never happen and future adds like baseball will just be an idea that came too late. The days of the G5's are on their way out. It will be whittled down to the top 40 or 50 programs as D1. We might as well go back to our D1AA days and play at the FCS level. I am just about done with sports from a financial commitment position. The greed has ruined it for me. Their is zero loyalty towards the program by the players. It is all about them and how much money they can cram in their pockets and it appears our basketball coach encourages the lack of loyalty. I will watch on television, but that's about it, much like pro sports have become. I have no interest in attending a Cowboys' game live once the prices became ridiculous, same with the Mav's and Rangers' in that stupid new ballpark that was a waste of money. I had arrived at a point where I was only willing to invest in watching North Texas live, but the current situation has ruined that as well. The future of all of college sports is a disaster if some type of control isn't put in place. It is ridiculous and very sad. Guess I will end up spending my money on golf, fine food and drink, drugs, etc. and become a more interesting person.

      SB at Memphis (4/19-21/24)

      Opportunity to beat up on one of the worst teams in the country in Memphis (5-34, 1-17). Really can't let them steal one like UTSA did a few weeks ago. This could help solidify a top two seed (top two seeds would only need to win two games in the conference tournament to win the title) if Tulsa takes 2 of 3 from Charlotte this weekend. SCHOOL CONF CPCT. OVERALL PCT. HOME AWAY NEUTRAL THIS WEEKEND Florida Atlantic 13-5 .722 33-12 .733 19-6 11-6 3-0 vs. UTSA North Texas 12-6 .667 25-19 .568 15-8 7-9 3-2 at Memphis Charlotte 12-6 .667 26-16 .619 12-8 9-7 5-1 vs. Tulsa Tulsa 12-6 .667 27-15 .643 13-3 9-8 5-4 at Charlotte UAB 11-7 .611 20-22 .476 13-5 2-13 5-4 at Wichita State Wichita State 10-8 .556 19-18 .514 5-6 9-8 5-4 vs. UAB South Florida 9-9 .500 30-16 .652 23-11 7-5 0-0 at East Carolina East Carolina 7-11 .389 30-15 .667 21-7 5-8 4-0 vs. South Florida UTSA 3-15 .167 12-34 .261 3-10 2-14 7-10 at Florida Atlantic Memphis 1-17 .056 5-34 .128 4-16 1-13 0-5 vs. North Texas
