Whew glad this year is over. Broke a lot of records. Did anyone predict 1-10? Maybe we should have kept the old locker room? The old scoreboard definitely got revenge….although the new scoreboard is waaay better. Hope they get it fixed? The new logo design brought in some winning ways…..for our competition. We definitely experienced quite a bit of change this year. If the new coach wins one D1 game next year he will look amazing. Do we rush the field? Ok…I’m just trying to have fun in a season that was not fun. Powell made the season tolerable. We lose to a D2 school that was terrible without him. We can’t just recruit the players nobody else wants. When you hear guys say that North Alabama was my only D1 offer, well there’s your sign. Now on to the waiting for the new coach, hope he enjoys a challenge. Don't put too much in the UNA was my only offer thing. We have a couple players in the NFL who were walk-ons. Sometimes players don't develop late or are looked over because of size. Doesn't mean they're not quality players.

Tough time to be a UNA grad, especially having been in Florence during the glory years, with two out of three national championships.
To see this ...

Now on to the waiting for the new coach, hope he enjoys a challenge. We lose to the GSC... Even Valdosta... Virginia Wise only one two games against the bottom of D2 or even if they was D2... This is absolutely the worst season in UNA history.. And if you say we shouldn't have went to D1, your an idiot... There I said it. Go play with yourself in the road.

I expect more from you… they shouldn’t have went D1 if this was the plan. What benefits have they had from going D1 besides student enrollment which they could have achieved while D2?

Honestly, I feel it was a timing issue for the FCS decision. Were that UNA's intent, they should have transitioned much earlier.

Yes, I agree, we should be spending more. Benefits start happening this year. All we would have received in D2 would Have been 10k$. The truth is, as easily as we are 1-10, we could have had a shot at the playoffs. It's not our athletes, the coaches let us down. Now, in the next few years, if facilities haven't been done, and budget hasn't increased, then I will admit they shouldn't have moved.

Excited for new coaches to get in here and do player evaluations. New strength coach needs to get our team heading in the right physical direction. D1 was never going to be easy. We are behind all these already established D1 programs. Looney appears to be in the act of correcting that right now on the coaches side. I hope he is also working on facilities. Now that the off-season has started, North Alabama really needs to win. We win the off season and the 2023 season will take care of itself.

Now you’re saying they went D1 to get money. Yea you can say that UNA was late to going D1. Doesn’t make it right to go D1 20 years later. You missed your chance, and now you’re trying to recoup 20 years and think you will be competitive without doing anything. It makes no sense. Idk of anyone that thinks this is a success. Basketball just lost to MVSU, literally the worst team in basketball for 5-10 years. The only win for football was against D2. Volleyball is still a joke in the ASUN. Baseball isn’t relevant. The only sports halfway competitive are softball and golf.

The only sports halfway competitive are softball and golf. Your right... Let's just drop athletics... We can't compete, we are in a crap area, can't pay anything, and we let previous leaders destroy what we once was... The truth is, it's hard to make the transition in the best of situations. Let alone when we have a large number of "fans" that either want to be the Big fish in the puddle or only wants to be a UNA fan as long as it doesn't interfere with Alabama, Auburn or whoever your really a fan of. UNA is fortunate with money, but they are not fortunate enough to just throw money at something to hope it works, thats irresponsible. (Yes they should be spending more money, I agree) If half the so called fans that tell me that we don't have the money, or that this is a mistake, would show up, or donate, we wouldn't be having this discussion. The real problem is all the negativity, that's the difference between UNA and anyone else that is or has made the transition. They decide to go D1, everyone is excited about it. We go D1 and it's like we have an inferiority complex. I don't just speak for myself by saying nobody gives a crap about playing Shorter, Christian Bros, and whoever else you want to throw in. But I do like playing Austin Peay, UCA, EKU and so on. Could things have been done differently? Absolutely... I'm as pissed as most. Do I think this is going to be the normal for UNA? Absolutely not...

Worst season since 1971, where we went 1-10 and Durrell Mock was our coach. Jesus Christ.

Absolutely not... Speaking of doing something, I wonder if concerned alumni should start discussing an NIL group. I know the university has signed with some third-party firm, but as the highest levels of college athletics these are being organized and implemented by alumni and local business leaders. UNA needs to jump on that train! Maybe we can discuss more on here.

I’m not gonna try to sugar coat this turd lol but…I think UNA and Kennesaw State had a rude awakening transitioning from the Big South to the ASUN. The Owls just finished their season 5-6 (1-4). Heck, even the three that split the title were 3-2. Only Jax State, with their extra scholarships, was undefeated in ASUN games. Yuck.
