If that is your argument with 5:00 minutes left in the game it makes sense.  You never turn down a virtual lock to cut the lead in half in the first 2 quarters of the game.

We've lost 2 games where an early field goal instead of a turnover on downs was the difference come the end of the game but people still don't get it. I'm referring to Navy and Memphis. If we end up losing by 3, I may explode.

My favorite plays are when our defenders are in the right position but it doesn't matter because we can't tackle.

I think we’re a little timid. We are undersized and are afraid of getting seriously injured.

We have the facilities for other schools to be competitive in. UAB looks impressive today.

Sorry... Trying hard to not explode right now. Going to get a drink and log off

Yes.  Come back with a liquor buzz.  The came will be easier to watch and make more sense to you.

Here's the deal with Caponi. I don't give a crap if he doesn't have *his* guys. Good coaching should at least be able to clean up fundamentals like tackling. It hasn't gotten better all year which tells me Caponi is not of the caliber we need to lead the defense. Want to keep a 335 next year? Fine, but get a new DC. And if there's any time to make a change in philosophy away from the 335 altogether, it's now. Give him another year and we're just burying ourselves deeper into this system. Dead last is grounds for termination. That's not a personnel or scheme issue, it's a coaching issue.

Maybe Morris demoted Caponi at halftime in the tune of the Avocados from Mexico jingle.

[Green Crazy]

I think we win the second half. Not sure if that means we win, but it will be close.

[untbowler]

Rogers just making poor decisions, threw into triple coverage. Would not mind seeing Earle for 1 series just to let Rogers settle down and get a talk to by Morris or out non-existent OC

Yes, I believe many would very surprised to learn we are 75 in NCAA Div 1 revenue (out of over 300 programs).  But on the field/court outside of men's basketball women's soccer  and softball it has be horrendously mismanaged.  

[Meangreen Fight]

So kicking a FG down by 6 in the first half makes no sense but kicking one down by 14 does?  I don't understand these coaching decisions.

[meangreenacct]

I don’t understand the 3rd down call there. Seemed like too much traffic on that side to effectively run a QB draw - which seems like was the planned play call.

This is an unmitigated disaster and an embarrassment. I am not sure there is much to salvage for going forward (maybe some pieces on offense) I hate to suggest firing nice people but I am afraid next year will look the same if we don’t change the entire staff now. Since a tear down is likely required, why not hire someone that can recruit what is needed to win at this level.

This frustrates me more than our defense.

It does if your North Texas. 🤓

Have you noticed the trend where almost every team we play against looks impressive on game day. Our defense makes other teams look like they're full of all americans.

Yup…especially if Morris doesn’t hit the portal hard. If he sticks to recruiting HS more than the portal, we won’t be seeing good times for quite a while.

Morris has the chart upside down

This is what happens when your head coach makes a poor hire at defensive coordinator and then will not man up to it and take the responsibility to make the needed change. People can forgive someone who makes a mistake if they own up to, it but it quickly turns to resentment if they feel the person that made the mistake doesn't believe he made a mistake

He owned up to the Stone and Rogers mistake. 

You guys want to really be pissed. Go back to 19:00 on the broadcast and listen to what the broadcasters said about what Morris said about these 2. It makes me question his decision making a little bit. He did own up to that mistake though.

Geez…no outside contain again

This is without a doubt the worst LB corps I have seen at NT since I started following the team closely in 1997.  And Kropp is the worst of them. 

[Travis]

Our band plays the most annoying song everytime the other team gets a first down as if they are mocking us. Like they play this fierce stand up d type song when we just give up a new set of downs. I can’t be the only one that keeps seeing this right?

You mean you don’t like when our LB’s take terrible angles?

Moral victory bias. That’s what bad teams hang onto. We fit that mold unfortunately 

[Green Crazy]

Can we just say Rogers hit the 3000 yard mark? Saying he's the 4th qb to do it in our history just reminds us how embarrassing we've been at qb.
