We’ll take it. We had the worst loss in the conference. It was sort of expected with the season we had last year and the new style implemented in the offseason by the new coaching staff. It’s a bummer I honestly thought we would be improved and win a couple of games this year. Now I don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. We could seriously be looking at a 24 game losing streak.

IMO......

Best Win: UNT 46, SMU 23 (Good win for UNT over a program from a conference at least equivalent to CUSA)

Worst Loss: Northern Ariz 30, UTEP 10 (This wasn't just a loss to an inferior opponent, it was an azz whipping)

Now if UNT beats Arkansas on the road that will be a solid win.

You are mistaken No one predicted Tech to crush South Alabama, South Alabama beat Troy yes the same Troy team that embarrassed UNT

BTW Boise beat Troy 56-20

Different seasons. Different teams. Poor logic. Context matters.

You’re saying you didn’t expect LA Tech to crush a team that went 4-8 last year? Yeah, they beat a good Troy team but they went 4-8.

Yeah you crushed an SMU team we lost to. You crushed them after they lost their HQ. We beat you.

At the end of the day, it’s not that indicative of anything in terms of how our respective seasons went.

You are absolutely correct. I'm one LA Tech fan that will tell it like it really is, and LA Tech looked like Dog poop last night. It's now obvious that Tech QB, J'Mar Smith has NOT gotten any better in the off season, and most Tech fans have just about had enough of him.

Congrats on UNT's big win last night. You guys faced your old nemesis SMU, and you punched 'em in the mouth. You gotta love that. I just wish that J'Mar Smith (6'2, 230) had ONE OUNCE of the competitiveness in him that Mason Fine has in his 5'10 body. Fine lifts his team's competitiveness with his own outstanding play, while J'Mar deflates his.

I didn't get to view any of the LT game last night, so I can't speak to Smith's play in that game, but I didn't see anything coming out of Tech's camp to indicate Smith had made the improvements needed to elevate his game. Dawgxas harped on his potential, but we had different metrics for evaluating potential. While I agree size, speed, and strength are important to a certain degree, I place more emphasis on accuracy, heart, and commitment. I believe the potential to developing these characteristics are essential if a QB is to become a winner and a leader. You are very kind in your praise of Fine. Thanks.
