This came from page 8D in the "IN MY OPINION" section:

Through three weeks, non-Bowl Championship Series teams have a 9-63 (14%) record in games with teams from the BCS conferences.

With Saturday's Southern Illinois victory over Indiana, Division 1-AA teams are 5-49 (10%) against 1-A teams this season. Last season 1-AA teams had two victories against 1-A foes.

(I believe the difference this season is the scheduling of the 12th game)

Under Darrell "Keep 8 In The Box" Dickey UNT is 2-25 (8%) against BCS school in 8 years and 3 games. These are wins against Texas Tech and Baylor. You can see that his performance against BCS schools almost fits the "norm" for wins. Without looking at any stats over the last 8 or 9 years I would venture to guess this is probably close to the national norm. If DD had ONLY "one more win" against BCS schools then it would be "in line" with the national average for this year.

I would rather see how NT fairs against BCS competition by comparing our record to those of our immediate peers like Tulsa, La Tech, Houston, Boise, etc. I really don't care how Buffalo, Ball State, and other low brow non-BCS programs do in similar matchups.

I know, NT is now part of the low brow, but you get my point. wink.gif

Ya, me too. Anyone know what the average OOC win/loss record against non-BCS teams is for D1A teams?

I guess this has already been said, I just want to say it as well..

I don't think anyone is upset that we lost to BCS Texas. People are upset that we constantly lose to La Tech, Memphis, South Florida, So Miss, Tulsa(x2), Air Force, Colorado State, TCU ... and any other non-conference OOC.

We try to measure ourselves based on who we 'consider' our mid-major peers. Unfortunately we never measure up to any of them.

That is a far cry from being pissed at Dickey for only having two BCS wins.

it's not just losing...it's getting blown out that bothers people. Not looking competitive bothers people. There was no emotion from the team on Saturday...no jumping around, no high fives, no helmet slapping. On the road you only have yourselves to get you fired up. I'm tired of looking hopeless on against people we compete with for the same exact recruits.

It looked like that all game and in pregame.

This is what JD is referring to:

Since joining the belt, against non-conference mid majors

TCU L 5-19

S.Florida L 10-28

Troy St. L 16-18

Colorado St. L 20-45

TCU L 10-16

S. Florida L 17-24

Cincy W 24-19

Air Force L 21-34

Troy W 21-0

Memphis L 17-27

Fla. Atl. L 13-20

S. Miss L 10-31

Tulsa L 2-54

La. Tech L 14-40

SMU W 24-6

Tulsa L 3-28

That's a whopping total of 3-13.

      Texas Tech season tickets sold out this year

      Yeah... we need that protest photo reposted. THAT is the reason our athletic support sucks. When only 10% of your student body cares about sports to begin with you're set up to fail. Then when you give that 10% no reason to care about UNT sports you're destined to fail. Here we are, right in between suckitude and failure with very minimal room for error.

      Texas Tech season tickets sold out this year

      I've said forever that the Cowboys aren't keeping someone from going to a North Texas game. Now, I do believe that Texas, A&M, Tech, OU, OSU, and Arky are reasons people won't go to our games, but that has so much more to do with the fact that we nuked our fanbase with the 1-aa debacle, which gave those schools tons of t-shirt fans with UNT credit hours and diplomas, as well as the fact that those schools play people that fans want to watch. But I blame the fact that the university's history is to have a football team, but making it cool to not support it. That mindset has prevailed in every facet of the UNT Family and community.

      Juwaun Price, Syracuse RB

      Had a pretty decent 2021 season. Not sure if he was injured or something after that, but his production dropped off pretty drastically after that. https://www.espn.com/college-football/player/_/id/4428272/juwaun-price I hope he can come in and regain that 2021 form!

      Their isolation is definitely beneficial to them. But as to our lowly attendance figures, it has nothing to do with the cowboys during our football season and the mavs during our basketball season. If anything that should be beneficial to us. Do whatever it takes to get named players in front of our players, students, and alum. Partner with them like we did with Frisco, etc. But a Sunday afternoon Cowboy game has very little/nothing to do with our 14k in attendance on Saturday.
