All the turmoil in the G5 world..we ain't the only one whose schedule is unpredictable. At least we brought in a bunch of P4 bench warmers (16 I saw?) as replacements. USA will be a good insight for this teams future games.......Morris needs at minimum 6 wins so I'll go with six.

There is not a moment in my time with UNT that got more national publicity than the Arkansas football game. I was fortunate to have been at the game.

I'm also counting week Zero as a win. 5-2 heading into the FAU match-up.

Looked at JJ's Eastfield stats for comparison and he averaged 18.9 ppg in 32 games, hit 20 points or more in 15 games, and scored a game-high of 45 against (Dallas) Richland College. Nothing against this guy as I've never seen him play but I hope this is a PWO. Would be great for him to come in and earn a scholarship like JJ did.

I agree with you. I would not vote an increase in student fee if I were a current student. I understand that student fees and institutional support are in theory necessary to break even. Doesn't change that it's hard to look at the system seriously when you look at coaching salaries, even at smaller programs. All in all, the biggest programs and networks are to blame. They'll ruin college athletics for good if they don't figure out a solution that benefits all parties at all levels. More important than our fandom is the athletic scholarships of thousands of male and female athletes outside the top 1% are at risk of being lost if schools eventually choose to drop football.

Make Magazines Great Again

There is a substantial value now, but what when we are relegated back to the equivalent of FCS or I-AA? Will that value still be worth it? Perhaps in basketball but not sure if football makes sense. Just thinking out loud here.

Playing time is huge (or NIL with some), but factors have to be different with each player. Which player was encouraged to stay, which to go, which influenced by family members or friends; did academics or location play a part? Every situation is probably different. At what point as a coach to you tell a marginal player to stay or look elsewhere? Roster makeup is important and also factors in these decisions. If you're 7th on the guard depth chart probably not a good situation.

Music would probably be second most. Lots of artists, but how often does their NT background get mentioned? I'm betting more sports stories/scores than music articles.

Paperwork???

Ironic turn of subject matter considering SI made my pants go crazy once a year as a young fella🤣🤣🤣

JJ went to Eastfield. This dude goes to Northlake. They are in the same conference. Very low level basketball. D3 Juco.

bet accepted. "music"

California is the future 🤣

Not being transphobic = decades of scientific literature. Being transphobic = fake cowboy memes and pictures of masculine east german athletes. Some of the best advice my grandparents ever gave me was to never stop learning after school was over with, and you guys are proof of how hateful and close-minded one can get when you don't follow that advice.

This is always the excuse for athletics expenditures and it is certainly a valid justification. However, it is also impossible to quantify the benefits. There are only 134 D1 football teams and obviously there is substantial value in being a member of that group.

Hit 6!

Aside from balancing the accounting, the main benefit from a strong athletic program (and especially football in Texas) is the marketing value. Unfairly or not, most schools are ranked in public perception by what people think of them athletically, not academically. Also, by who the school associates with athletically. I would bet the mention of UNT Nationally happens more in sports than from any other area of the school x1000.

See, this is where you got off on the wrong foot. I'm not sure who the "you" is you are referring to, but people didn't feel the need to question a person's gender until the Democrats starting the push to allow boys that weren't any good at their sport to dress up as girls so as to participate in their sport successfully. Prior to that, the only time in my life that I have questioned a person's gender when competing in sports was the old East German "women's" Olympic teams. East German athletes then: Now:

I don't see us winning more than four games this year. Sorry, that's what I predict.

Apparently I’m not good at counting. *3-2.
