I will enjoy watching this team, if they play to their ability and mesh. I won't if that doesn't happen. In any case, I will keep an open mind about their potential until proven otherwise this season.

I heard from a credible source that former UNT great Chris Davis will be helping the basketball program in some capacity. Who knows if it is true or not, but I would be all for it.

Jesus people. Bucee's is basically a clean (by a wide margin) Love's or Flying J or _____ without truckers and showers. There's no "fascination". Great place to stretch your legs and pop a squat on long road trips, sometimes at the same time. Great stop if you have children. #BuceesIsTheNewRV #CleanShittersForLife

the season cannot get here fast enough!!!!

He is where he needs to be. Good for him.

Can we trade UNT90 to Baylor for two fans to be named later? He will definitely have all the answers they need and is an expert on contracts.

After leaving UNT, how many would have ever imagined Dodge on the cover of Texas Football?

Just look at the schedule on that page...

Everyone is trying to save face and protect themselves. This is about to get real nasty, like Jerry Springer and Maury Povich nasty....... and I can't wait to watch.

MGB: What do the UNT men's basketball team, softball team need to do to be sure no changes are made? http://meangreenblog.dentonrc.com/2016/06/key-questions-unts-new-ad-will-face-part-v-where-to-set-the-bar-for-struggling-programs.html/

We'll see.

Forget it, he's rolling.

Tell me how you really feel?

A lot of people are more into bashing Benford than looking at the team. This team has a solid returning nucleus and with the right combination of growth of the young players like Brice and Brown, and a hit on some of the newcomers; could be much better than many suspect. Also add the factor which few want to admit, Benford has become a much better coach. Not hard to do based on his early years, but still it gives me some hope.

Yes Allen, unfortunately we are talking about gas stations.

I know that when BC comes here this September, things are gonna get real in Denton...oh wait...

Maybe he's just distracted by a Lubbock 10? Or as we call them a Denton 6.

Seems to easily be the best roster Benford has had since TM left.

If you have to put sauce on BBQ thenit's bad BBQ. Good BBQ stands on its own.

What do you think about Walmart?

We have more than enough examples of incidents that give reason to close our borders, improve and enforce our visa and our vetting process and enforce our immigration laws. Rick

I hope she winds up spending 3 and a half years at McNeese State.

Assuming Idaho, NMSU, and ULM aren't included in the deal, we get four of the remaining eight teams. We keep the CUSA west division, and pick up the closest four sunbelt schools, and MTSU to balance things out. Charlotte eventually replaces Marshall in the east when they bolt for greener pastures. Our two new 10-team conferences look like this: CUSA 3.5 UNT LaTech Rice UTEP ULL Ark St UTSA Tex State Southern Miss MTSU Karl Benson Wasteland (Misspelling intentional) WKU Marhshall FiU FaU ODU Charlotte Appy St Ga Southern South Alabama Troy Since each conference has ten teams, they are each eligible to hold a conference championship game because the Cows of Texas at Austin say they are. If the two conference champions meet at an agreed upon bowl game, preferably at a static location, then you've got yourself a mini four-team playoff from which the NCAA can go right piss off on itself.

This. Send the victims a message, we don't really care what happens to you if football wins. That is our family value. On the plus side, hiring him back ought to boost the size of the jury verdicts that start coming in when victims begin suing.

Wish it was my anniversary...that way I could literally do to the wife what RV has been figuratively doing to the fanbase for years

Marshall can complain, but they did nothing in CUSA prior to teams leaving to the AAC. 40-57 (41%) with only 2 seasons >=.500, both 7-6. Only once did they have a winning conference record. Maybe if Marshall carried their weight prior to the split, CUSA's reputation might be better. While Marshall looks good now, them having little success until after the split only fuels the perception, true or not, that they're only winning now because the conference is weaker.

Pretty impressive! http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2016/...pprov.html

Bryce English http://www.texasfootball.com/the-50-most-important-college-players-in-texas-in-2016-no-44-north-texas-bryce-english/ They seem confident he will play this year.

I stopped reading when you vilified FOX as being partisan yet didn't mention one word about NBC, ABC, CBS, and CNN being partisan towards democrats. I'm sure it was just another "hey, I'm an independent, but here are the democrat talking points" post... Political hypocrite.

"... he(Trump) did that to every other GOP candidate and the crowds found it entertaining and laughed." And Americans have listened to Obama for almost eight years and cried.

Briles not going gentle into that good night http://www.kwtx.com/content/news/Briles-cries-foul-383290841.html

Was Victory Hall named in anticipation of better days ahead for UNT athletics or in honor of the few and far between in FB and BB lately?

They both look scared to death. Like someone off to the right was putting in a Jimmy John's order over the phone and ordered a #5 Vito and Dodge had a visceral reaction upon hearing the V word... Now this..... This looks F'in badass.

Oh...so your listening to Trump now? That's interesting. Rick

I think the tax break is due to Buckee's throwing money into the pot to get the 35E improvements done. Generally speaking businesses don't (or won't) pay for those types of improvements and so it's not exactly fair to expect them to pay full sales tax AND road improvements.

Totally forgot about UAB. I was going by last year's standings to get my team pool. GA St. I just flat out missed.

I think it's going to be a necessity in the future to G5s to do that...and by G5s, I mean every G5 conference not named MWC, AAC, and MAC. So, yes...I really think Sun Belt and C-USA need to sack up, look in the mirror and admit what they are, and rearrange accordingly.

Yeah, consistently horrible.

Me ^

Still not seeing the fascination. Same can be said for Starbucks. Guess good marketing wins here. Quick Trip, Race Trac, Valero, etc... are all the same. Stuckey's used to rule, though.

Wait. Are you saying Dickeys is better than Hard 8? The only other person I've ever heard say this after trying both was a dude from Boston. Do you also like Fazoli's better than Cane Rosso?

Aren't we looking to bolt? Every school in the conference would be gone in a minute if the opportunity presented itself.

What is very apparent here is that you are overestimating both the operational capabilities and reaching abilities of Isis. From an organizational standpoint these guys are no better structured than the Thugee Cult of India at this point. Just because some crazy out there says he is affiliated with them doesn't mean that they even had him on their radar. As the SAA, the Kurds and the Iraqi Army and militias continue to squeeze what territorial remains that Isis has you are seeing them become more and more desperate. Desperate in a sense that if some guy just shot up a whole bunch of Americans and claims to be affiliated with Isis they will agree just for any type of publicity that they are winning on some front. The fact that there's a far deeper story about this guy's own personal confrontations and demons was apparently not known by ISIS. I know that this much is clear as day

I feel sorry for the victims that this is just being considered. It will be a true tragedy if Briles is retained. I get that college football makes more money than anything and making money is important, but it should NEVER be put ahead of keeping the students safe. I applaud these women's bravery for coming out. It'a shame that victimized women feel like they can't come clean about an incident because the rapist is a big football star.

Thats the only good thing at dickeys

Seriously? Graduate? Into what? A group of schools that were mediocre in the Sun Belt "got promoted" shelled out $2 million to land in a conference that will almost certainly will make fewer dollars per school in 2016-17 than the Sun Belt. When AState and ULL made bowl games, you didn't see us lose season ticket holders. AState and ULL are increasing budgets, MTSU, WKU, ODU are all cutting budgets. Twerking like a banty rooster isn't a good look. I was in Biloxi a few years ago, many of the grand old homes I remembered as a kid are nothing but overgrown lots with some steps that lead to nowhere. I asked a local host from their convention and visitors bureau about it and she said many of the people had inherited those homes but couldn't afford flood insurance but they held on rather than sell and admit the old money was gone money. Katrina took those houses into the gulf and they can't afford a construction loan much less the flood insurance that would be required to have the construction loan. If USM fans want to complain about Sun Belt move-overs so be it, but you guys doing it is like having a big plug of redman and spitting face into the wind out the window of your beat up old truck.

Just so we're all clear, just what exactly did you "do"?
