The refs blew some calls, no doubt, we still never should have been in position. We were up by 13 and cruising.

Calls got blown both ways, on the last FAU score, were they drove it in (on second effort, we had him stopped dead) on third down, they actually scored first down. If we had been able to hold them, it would have been a huge miscall in our favor.

Then that call didn't cost them.

I was unable to watch the game and followed it as close as I could but we were winning 40-37 and could have stopped FAU on their final game winning touchdown drive. I tend to think ultimately everything evens out at the very end. Ultimately the anus was on the NT defense and trying to stop FAU on their game winning drive in my opinion.

Dude, I think the word is "onus", but people may run with this.

Yea those 3 kickoffs that went out of bounds really didn't....I saw it on tv so it must be true. If it weren't for the refs Dodge would be 30-0. Now he needs to go on a 24 game winning streak just to get back to being an average program.

What? No SMU/June love?? You're slipping in the "quality" of your posts.

The officials blew this game for UNT. Three missed obvious pass interference calls and our guy was out of bounds before he fumbled on the kick off. I recorded the game and replayed to make sure. UNT's defense played awful but the officals were worse. Todd Dodge will really explode when he sees the film.

I'm sorry but the refs did not cost us that game. It's so easy for the losers to complain that the refs cost us the game. In all my years of watching and attending football games I have never heard the winners claim that we would have never won that game if the refs hadn't been with us. I'm sorry but that is just a cop out. I was at the game and no one in our group felt that the refs cost us that game. If the refs had walked out at the beginning of the game and announced that they were spotting FAU 30 points then I would probably agree that the refs cost us the game. Get over it people. We gave up 44 points and lost the game because we couldn't stop the opposing offense. It's as simple as that.

this argument is weak.

And, i have heard winners claim that they had lucky breaks and fortunate calls due to refs.

But, that is besides the point... the point is why would they? What advantage is it as a winner to say that?! it makes no sense at all why FAU would get up there and say we were extremely lucky that the refs blew the call. It is human nature to want to boast that "we did it on our own merit!" And the losers do it also because they want to blame others but themselves.

However, refs do blow calls in critical parts of the game and they can take blame when appropriate. Perhaps this is one of those times. Your argument is a fallacy.

Thank you for reiterating my point!!

      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
