In the past 4 years, we have lost to Troy 45-7, 45-17, and 50-26. They have thoroughly dominated us. Troy may be down a little from previous years, but they're still the class of the Belt. While we didn't pull out a win, I saw an impressive game played by the Mean Green tonight. They played smart overall, they played tough, they won the turnover battle. Everybody wanted a win, but I still tip my hat to the coaches and players for this game.

UNT showed it can play with anybody in the belt tonight.

Absolutely.

While I expect a bitter shellacking at the hands of K-State--they are currently whupping Texas 31-0--I honestly and truly expect us to win our last two Belt games, and will be disappointed with anything less.

I do not think K State is as great as everyone makes them out to be. UT is just not as good as they have been. Do I expect a win against KSU, not yet, but something similar to Clemson would be expected if not better even with a bunch of 2nd stringers and 3rd stringers for us.

The K-state game will be ugly... for us.

I also agree with the others.... good game for the most part. Unfortunately, our O-line had an AWFUL game.

We will be there turkey dinner that weekend, wish this game would have been our last one at Fouts and we were coming off 3 belt wins. But hey, while I don't like losing AGAIN, this was the best football I have witnessed out Fouts in 3.5 years. And by that, I mean the demeanor of the team and fans during the walk over, the pace at which the team warmed up, and they fact they never quit. We were in it for the most part, and most importantly at the end of the game.

It is just amazing that one person removed as coach, and an OC promoted to head coach, that this team has so much more discipline, no quit, halftime adjustments, and wins the turnover battles. I don't know if Canalas is the answer long term, but gosh is this team different.

+1, and yes, I felt like I had not been watching D1 college ball in our stadium for as long as, well you know. Tonight, for the first time since following UNT following this time around, I felt like our head coach was on a par with the best our conference has to offer. I even noticed Mean Joe was having a good time. I got to shake hands with that great man after the game, so tonight was worth it for me.

Speaking of that did anyone see Dodge at the game?

Our team really stepped up against Troy. Our offense put up 35 points against the Troy defense, who I consider the most talented if not best defense in the Belt. I give coach Canales and the players alot of credit for pulling that off.

That said, our defense really had trouble slowing down Troy most of the night. Troy was bigger, faster, and more athletic, and it showed. The fact that we had the ball with 3 minutes left in the game, and a chance to drive for the winning score, says alot about the caliber of coach Canales is.

I don't know how this coaching search is being done, but I know we need to keep coach Canales at UNT.

As I was walking to the home side from tailgating, we passed T. Dodge. He was walking toward the visiting side although I have no idea where he sat. I'm sure it's very hard for him to be there as a professional given the situation...but easy as a father. In passing I said "hey coach"...he very politely replied, "hey guys, ya'll doing alright?".

I hope to see him at more games. As it's been said many times on this board, he is a class act.

I was very proud of this team last night. They have put forth the effort all year and never seem to give up.

Riley Dodge, what can you say more about his toughness? Win or lose, for the rest of his career, he's up there in my toughness category with Cody Spencer, Scott Hall, Johnny Quinn and all the rest who played hurt and seemed to excel.

This was just as good of a showing as any team has played against us all season. Hopefully Canales gets the job because, it's obvious, that the kids believe in his motivational style. They locked the gate, but we jumped the fence...Eventhough the Belt has under-performed a little this year, there are no 0-win teams and only a few blowouts in conference play...We're growing and we have a good nucleus to build upon.

      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.
