Quarterbackless Houston? That's crazy to imply. Clayton Tune was rated higher than our starting quarterback as a recruit, and Tune has also started several games in his Houston career.

Mason Fine certainly has more experience, and can be deadly accurate, but Tune is also talented and will be distributing the ball to a well established arsenal of receivers.

Odd fact, Clayton Tune was a North Texas fan while his older brother Nathan played there, and was recruited heavily by North Texas before signing with Houston. His backup at Houston was committed to North Texas for a long while before his father accepted the head coaching job at Houston.

Why can't the NT Daily properly support the football program?  What a shitty headline.  

I can't say this means they don't support the team, but it does imply that they aren't knowledgeable about the subject.

Houston is a team that started the season with aspirations of achieving a New Years Six bowl. They lost a slugfest with #4 Oklahoma, lost a shootout with ranked Washington St, and were edged in a freak loss to a good Tulane team.

They may have lost a star player or two, as have we, but they certainly aren't suddenly a weak opponent. They are still strong and they are still dangerous despite losing a key player or two.

This guy was also a higher rated recruit than Fine.

We don't really know much about Tune because he has really only played 2 games.  1 was an absolute shellacking put on them by Army when playing for a lame-duck coach and a bunch of his teammates had checked out.   The previous game was another blowout loss to Memphis and he had an awful 41% completion% in that game.   We still respect/love Nathan Tune around here, but that doesn't mean we need to hold Clayton up to the same esteem... especially when compared to D'Eriq King, who is night/day better than him.

Jason Bean was also a higher rated recruit than Fine.   What would the score be if the roles were reversed?

That's disrespectful.....journalism wise...IMHO.

Bless their little hearts, but they write for the NT Daily and probably don't know that a team has more than one quarterback, that more than one rarely are on the field at the same time.

They would be so much better off, and avoid this type of embarrassment, if they asked Matthew Brune to proof read and edit their materials before they publish them to the web.

The NT Daily wasn't created to be a mouthpiece or a UNT fan publication. It's meant to give North Texas students experience in the media world to be better prepared for their next chapter after graduation.

Are they perfect? No. Are they students learning on the fly? Yes. 

Maybe give them a little break.

Hopefully they have fixed the harvey situation. Houston has the speed to expose him if they haven't and tune will be able to hit those receivers if they are as open as they were against smu.

All starts up front. Get pressure and our DBs are all-stars.

No pressure, toast.

Coming off its largest scoring margin of the season, North Texas football (2-2, 1-0 Conference USA) will participate in the final non-conference game of its season without its opponent’s starting

Does this guy not watch or pay attention to football? I lost complete respect for them during the Khairi incident, but this is getting worse lol!

Also the key to this game is: GET THE BALL FIRST

      Ladies land Tech transfer

      Similar to the deceiving wording when our men’s recruit went to central Arkansas😂

      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
