Wow aren't they going bowling?

Most likely the Armed Forces bowl. Losses to 3-9 Tulane and 4-8 UTSA in the opening of the new stadium were unacceptable, especially considering we beat 2 of the 3 AAC co-champs and lost to the 3rd one literally by inches.

I think it's not only a football thing, but a finance thing. Attendance plummeted after the opening game debacle. Attendance will not improve if he comes back. Paying a buyout would cost less than the lost revenues due to poor attendance.

Wow. And I thought NT fans were fickle.

Wow. You guys actually think this way? At UNT, as long as the budget is balanced, attendance doesn't matter. Whorin' pays the bills 'round these parts...

It wasn't just losing the game. It was the complete dismantling of a UH team that returned most of their starters. UH didn't just lose their stadium opener, it wasn't even competitive:

27-7 with the only UH touchdown coming with a minute left in the game.

208 yards of total offense including -26 yards rushing.

6 turnovers.

TOP 40:22 to 22:14.

And as the season went on and UTSA proved not to be the team everyone thought they would be, it got worse.

It reminded too many of Levine's first regular season game as head coach where we were dismantled by Texas State in their first game as an FBS team following a 13-1 UH season, causing the firing of the OC after his first game at UH.

We don't play one and done money games on the road any more. We prefer to make our money on home games now. But if we don't have any attendance, we'll have to go back to that.

Damn! why couldn't we have scheduled Houston this year. Our timing (amongst other things) really sucks.

Most up and down team I've ever seen. Keep in mind that we gave AAC co-champ Memphis their only conference loss. And no one but UTSA beat us by more than 8 points (which was to BYU before their all world QB got hurt and before UH switched QBs).

We switched QBs after our 5th game and won 5 of our last 7.

We could have blown you out (our only win under double digits was over Memphis and average margin of victory was 24 points) or we could have lost. Who knows? Just maddening.

This had to be done. The team was stacked this year and they severely underachieved. Mismanaged the QBsituation that ended up with a highly touted and talented young QB riding the pine. Add in inexcusable losses to UTSA, Texas State and Tulane and this is what happened.

Wait, there's a place where losing to UTSA is inexcusable?

Here at No Accountability U we can only dream of having an administration who sees things in that way.
